Coder needed.

(TNR360) #1

If any of the coders out there would be kind enough to lend a hand we at EF mod need some coding assistance for a new weapon. The problem is it continues to use default Thompson animations rather then our new ones.

We are also experiencing a bug which I believe is related to the compiler (VS8 C++ 2005 express).

All guns appear to be firing but there are no impacts except with func_explosives(when FF is on).

There are no tracers when I fire but there is a sound, animation, muzzle flash and shell eject. Again there is no sign of impact anywhere (sparks, dirt/snow flying up).

This is what it looks like when the knife stabs and impacts a random red line appears out of nowhere every time the knife impacts.(ignore blue green and red line, that part of problem is solved) (there is no sound on knife impact):

Any help offers?

Thanks :smiley:

The red line could be similar to the lines you see when g_debugbullets is set to “1”, make sure it is off.

If I’m not mistaken, the “ground splash” can be toggled by g_wolfparticles, so check that one as well.

those red/blue/green lines indicate a missing model I believe.

The problem is it continues to use default Thompson animations rather then our new ones.

Check your weapon animation config file (models/weapons2/thompson/weapon.cfg). You need to add the new animations in there. I’m assuming you didn’t specify this file in the weapon file (weapons/thompson.weap_, but perhaps you created it and placed it somewhere??

As mentioned above, the lines are caused by a missing model. Becuase it is when you “fire” the knife, it is probably a missing “flash” model (when the sparks are supposed to fly off what ur stabbing). Check your weapon file (weapons/knife.weap) and ensure the model files you have entered are valid. Chances are you are missing the flash model.

Seems to be the center of the missing model.
The lines describe the x, y and z axis.

thanks for help I’ll try those things out

@kami neither solution seemed to work

@elite everything is specified correctly in the .weap file

all shooting related problems solved

nobody told me that qagame_mp_x86 goes outside of mp_bin (outside any type of pk3) sorry all

I still have the problem with our new weapon using default thompson animations

(P4nth3r) #9

The default weapons animations like reloading are handled by tag animations in a separate md3 file.
they made a file with only tags, these are animated and the tag correspond with the tags in the other md3 models and they will move when the tags do.

I think that is it, I hope I explained it clear enough. =$

I am aware of all this to make things clear here is the .weap file

	}
}

Any way we’ve drawn to the conclusion we are stripping the thompson as a weapon and adding our gun as new.
