Changing weapons for classes

(shaunf) #1

Hi,
I thought it would be interesting if a covert op could choose the enemy team’s machine gun as a weapon eg. an axis covert op could choose a Thompson as a weapon.

I have tried looking through the code for what to change and here is what I have done so far:

In bg_misc.c:


		case PC_COVERTOPS:
			if (weapon == WP_STEN
				|| weapon == WP_SMOKE_BOMB
				|| weapon == WP_SATCHEL
				|| weapon == WP_AMMO
				// Gordon: this is a cvt ops weapon in single player too, right?
				|| weapon == WP_FG42)
				return qtrue;
			else if (weapon == WP_K43 || weapon == WP_THOMPSON)
				return (teamNum == TEAM_AXIS);
			else if (weapon == WP_GARAND || weapon == WP_MP40)
				return (teamNum == TEAM_ALLIES);
			break;

In bg_classes.c:


	{
		PC_COVERTOPS,
		"characters/temperate/allied/cvops.char",
		"ui/assets/mp_spy_blue.tga",
		"ui/assets/mp_arrow_blue.tga",
		{ 
			WP_MP40,
			WP_STEN,
			WP_FG42,
			WP_GARAND,
		},	
	},

and:


	{
		PC_COVERTOPS,
		"characters/temperate/axis/cvops.char",
		"ui/assets/mp_spy_red.tga",
		"ui/assets/mp_arrow_red.tga",
		{ 
			WP_THOMPSON,
			WP_STEN,
			WP_FG42,
			WP_K43,
		},	
	},

g_client.c:


else if( pc == PC_COVERTOPS ) {
			switch( client->sess.playerWeapon ) {				
			case WP_THOMPSON:
			case WP_MP40:
			if( client->sess.sessionTeam == TEAM_AXIS ) {
				AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_THOMPSON, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue );
				break;
			} else {
				AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_MP40, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue );
				break;
			}

But I still can’t choose it as a weapon, can anyone help me with what else needs editting?

Thank you,
Shaun

Try changing

else if( pc == PC_COVERTOPS ) { 
         switch( client->sess.playerWeapon ) {             
         case WP_THOMPSON: 
         case WP_MP40: 
         if( client->sess.sessionTeam == TEAM_AXIS ) { 
            AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_THOMPSON, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue ); 
            break; 
         } else { 
            AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_MP40, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue ); 
            break; 
         }

To

else if( pc == PC_COVERTOPS ) { 
         switch( client->sess.playerWeapon ) {             
         case WP_THOMPSON: 
            AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_THOMPSON, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_THOMPSON)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue ); 
            break; 
         case WP_MP40: 
            AddWeaponToPlayer( client, WP_MP40, 2*(GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingAmmo), GetAmmoTableData(WP_MP40)->defaultStartingClip, qtrue ); 
            break; 
         }

That should work. I haven’t tested it since I’m not a PC with VC right now.

Thanks, but it still doesn’t seem to work :frowning:

I can’t even pick up enemy Thompsons/MP40s, although I suspect that you should only be able to do that if you are holding an MP40/Thompson anyway.

Has anyone else added a weapon to a specific class? I don’t want to be able to get it as a secondary weapon or anything, I want them to be able to choose it as a primary weapon.

Thanks,
Shaun

You compiled the client dll right?

(shaunf) #5

Yes, I did it again just to make sure and it still doesn’t work. Perhaps someone can test the above code to make sure I haven’t done anything stupid?

(h0nd) #6

If I’m not talking shit (I’m drunk lol), I think I came across a weapon pickup code somewhere… Search for “pickup”, I think you can find it that way.

(bacon) #7

I just tried your EXACT code and it works fine. I don’t know why you’re having problems.
Make sure you’ve compiled both the server dll and the client dll. The client dll must be in a PK3 if you’re running the server pure.

(shaunf) #8

Bacon: So let me get this straight, you can (as a covert ops) choose the enemy SMG as a weapon, or at least pick it up?

h0nd: I found various things to do with picking up weapons and other things in g_items.c, is that what you mean?

Edit
Ok, I just copied the dlls to the game folder again and found the client DLL that was currently there was a much older version of the file! I definitely chose to copy over it the first time, as I clicked Yes to All when I first copied both the DLLs, so I don’t know what went wrong.

Anyway, I have the new version in there now and it works! Thanks for all your help Bacon :slight_smile:

Im having the same problem with the pull down menu in limbo… the ability to choose for example the mp40 as a Allied member

I have the ability to pick one up doing the game… however I cant get it to show up on the limbo menu and therefore the player cant start with it

If you are not playing on the server have you compiled the client DLL and put it in a pk3 file and set sv_pure to 1 on the server?

You also need the client DLL in the mod folder, not in a pk3 if you are playing on the server.

yo i am new but i need your help

how i create a pk3 file and when i created something whit the source_code of et were i put the files to it work when i play

plz plz plz plz i need your help and plz explain me whit precision

thx incoming jesuisbon67@hotmail.com

(raffles) #12

A pk3 file is just a zip file renamed to pk3.

I think you mean where do you put the DLLs of some source you have just compiled? Put them in a new folder in your ET folder and create a new shortcut to the ET executable with +set fs_game <foldername>.

eg. If you have your game installed in C:\Program Files\WolfET and you have your DLLs in a folder named incomingmod then the shortcut should be ““C:\Program Files\WolFET\ET.exe” +set fs_game incomingmod”

i think its a wicked idea :clap: :drink: :bump:

(incoming) #14

Thank you but when i write the thing i want in the source

how i compile the dll and when i create a map how i do to create a .campaign file ?? plz help me

example goldrush.campaign

(raffles) #15

Info on how to compile in windows is in this sticky thread:
http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=6537

A campaign is a text file with the following syntax:

{
name “<full name of campaign>”
shortname “<shortname of campaign>”
description “<description of campaign>”
maps “<names of maps>”
mapTC 374 374
type “wolfmp”
}

The names of the maps are put in the order you want them to be played and seperated by semi-colons eg. oasis;radar;battery;fueldump;goldrush;railgun

(bacon) #17

Looks like you’re putting a ) at the end of a line (or multiple lines)…DON’T DO THAT

(raffles) #18

Perhaps when you have errors compiling code you should include the lines that you are having problems with?

(incoming!) #19

i got a other error man

Goto Project->Settings then scroll down to the “Post-Build” and change the copy path. Or you can copy it manually from the Debug directory.
