LUA on NQ 1.2.5

(phisherman) #1

Hey folks

Since the board search was so kind to tell me my search term “lua” was too short, I do not know if there is another thread about this topic. If there is, please give me a link and remove this topic.

I have a problem. My server is currently running NQ125, but I would like to upgrade to 128 when it’s released. Problem is that I dont like the Killingspree-Announcements of 127 ( and changelog of 128 didnt say anything about a change ), because its the most ridiculous and the most non-informing thing that I’ve ever seen, anyway. I would like a LUA-script take control over the kspree-announces, so that I dont have my screen spammed by big announcements that dont actually announce anything.

I managed to get the script working and stuff, but I only hear the “Killing Spree!” sound, no text appears. Console says “Unknown client game command: b”, and I guess thats the problem. In the LUA-script, I got the line “kspree_pos = b 8”, but I guess that’s an ETpro-Feature and does not work with NQ. I’m a complete newby with LUA, so you maybe want to help me getting started and tell me if there’s a similar thing for NQ with another name, so I’ll just have to change it. Thanks for your help. :slight_smile:

Download the LUA-Script here.

opened it up and opened up the example lua script that comes with NQ (dc.lua) within the first lines it says:


gamename = et.trap_Cvar_Get("gamename")
if gamename == "etpro" then
	CHAT = "b 8"
	POPUP = "etpro" 
elseif gamename == "etpub" then
	CHAT = "chat" 
	POPUP = "etpub"
else -- "noquarter"
	CHAT = "cp" 
	POPUP = "nq"
end

so supossedly replacing “b 8” by “cp” should work?

[QUOTE=stealth6;226286]so supossedly replacing “b 8” by “cp” should work?[/QUOTE]This sounds good. I’ll try that out and tell you. Thank you very much. :slight_smile:

Yep, that’s right. Thanks for the Tutorial, didn’t know there was one. :slight_smile:

Ok, results:

“cp” is not the Chat-Area but the Center of the Screen. I could not try out other locations, because it seems like I kind of messed up the script, but cant tell why. I’ll try again. Does anybody know what the chat-location for NQ is? Would save me bruteforcing. :slight_smile:

I think “chat” should work

‘qsay’

does print to chat

Ok, got this script working again. “chat” prints to chat, “qsay” prints “Unknown client game command” error message.
Now I’ll try to modify it. Wish me luck. :stuck_out_tongue:
