So I finally figured out how to add gibs

Catscratch · 2005-06-22 17:12:11 UTC

And when me and a friend were testing it out, I noticed that when you are wounded waiting for a medic and a grenade is tossed on you, you completely disappear when the grenade explodes. No blood. No gibs. All that’s left is the burn mark on the ground. I thought I had screwed up something when adding the gibs, but this also occurs in etmain. It’s funny that I’ve never noticed this before. Is this a bug or was it meant to do this?

BTW, if anyone wants the code for adding gibs, let me know.

IIRC etpro already has those gibs generated when corpse destroyed. Of course I’d appreciate to see it in another mod or something new gibs models(corpse gets skeltal or whatever).

Jaquboss · 2005-06-22 18:36:08 UTC

lol , I just declared gib models and used current gib function ( which however was character based , but there was nothing in character code to allow it… )

FREAK1 · 2005-06-22 18:37:02 UTC

plz make your code public and post it here.

Jaquboss · 2005-06-22 19:51:26 UTC

ok , so find CG_GibPlayer()
there are things like this :

character->gibModels[gibIndex]

so replace them with :

cgs.media.gibModels[gibIndex]

and then just declare gibmodels
i use RTCW ones from ETPro pack
my list in cg_main.c


	cgs.media.gibModels[0]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/foot.md3"	);
	cgs.media.gibModels[1]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/foot.md3"			);
	cgs.media.gibModels[2]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/leg.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[3]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/leg.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[4]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/abdomen.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[5]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/intestine.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[6]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/forearm.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[7]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/forearm.md3"		);
	cgs.media.gibModels[8]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/skull.md3"			);
	cgs.media.gibModels[9]	= trap_R_RegisterModel	( "models/gibs/abdomen.md3"		);

also dont forget about declaration in cgs.media ( in cg_local.h )


	qhandle_t	gibModels[MAX_GIB_MODELS];

of course if you want you can use character->gibModels[] , but you must have something to define them…

Catscratch · 2005-06-22 20:36:52 UTC

Hey, Jaquboss, did you fix that “bug” I mentioned?

Jaquboss · 2005-06-22 21:01:14 UTC

Hmm , if you mean dissappearing after beign gibbed : NO !
In normal ET there should be tossed helmet and blood splats , there can be bugs around player gibbing…
Make sure when limbo without corpse is called player is also gibbed…

Catscratch · 2005-07-02 05:00:16 UTC

Okay, in g_active.c I found

if( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= 0 ) {

	// DHM - Nerve
	WolfFindMedic( ent );

	// See if we need to hop to limbo
	if( level.timeCurrent > client->respawnTime && !(ent->client->ps.pm_flags & PMF_LIMBO) ) {
		if( ucmd->upmove > 0 ) {
			if( g_gametype.integer == GT_WOLF_LMS || client->ps.persistant[PERS_RESPAWNS_LEFT] >= 0 ) {
				trap_SendServerCommand( ent-g_entities, "reqforcespawn" );
			} else {
				limbo( ent, ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH ) );
			}
		}

		if((g_forcerespawn.integer > 0 && level.timeCurrent - client->respawnTime > g_forcerespawn.integer * 1000) || client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= GIB_HEALTH) {
			limbo(ent, (client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH));
		}
	}

	return;
}

I changed that to

if( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= 0 ) {

	// DHM - Nerve
	WolfFindMedic( ent );

	// See if we need to hop to limbo
	if( level.timeCurrent > client->respawnTime && !(ent->client->ps.pm_flags & PMF_LIMBO) ) {
		if( ucmd->upmove > 0 ) {
			if( g_gametype.integer == GT_WOLF_LMS || client->ps.persistant[PERS_RESPAWNS_LEFT] >= 0 ) {
				trap_SendServerCommand( ent-g_entities, "reqforcespawn" );
			} else {
				limbo( ent, ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH ) );
				GibEntity( ent, 0 ); // gibs
			}
		}

		if((g_forcerespawn.integer > 0 && level.timeCurrent - client->respawnTime > g_forcerespawn.integer * 1000) || client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= GIB_HEALTH) {
			limbo(ent, (client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH));
			GibEntity( ent, 0 ); // gibs
		}
	}

	return;
}

and above client think I added

extern void GibEntity( gentity_t *self, int killer );

Now that seems to sorta work, but of course if your health is greater than 0 you are gibbed twice. Am I on the right track here or should I be looking in g_combat.c?

Jaquboss · 2005-07-02 10:17:18 UTC

limbo( ent, ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH ) );

as you see this dont make corpse if health is same or lower than GIB_HEALTH
But you ALWAYS do gibs , becasue you hav GibEntity there …
So place there

 if ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= GIB_HEALTH ) {}

and it may work…

Catscratch · 2005-07-02 13:20:40 UTC

Jaquboss:

limbo( ent, ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] > GIB_HEALTH ) ); 
as you see this dont make corpse if health is same or lower than GIB_HEALTH

So place there
 if ( client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] <= GIB_HEALTH ) {}
and it may work…

Yeah, I knew I needed that second bit of code you posted in there, but even with that code you are gibbed twice depending: once in g_damage and then again here in clientthink.

But isn’t this fun?!

Jaquboss · 2005-07-02 15:10:10 UTC

um , then you need to make code in g_damage to gib only corpses … that can work…

KillerWhale · 2005-07-02 17:30:09 UTC

There should be no serverside change needed to implement gibs.

Do as on Jaquboss’s first post.
But you should also re-enable the code disabled code (the part between #if 0 and #endif) in CG_AddFragment.

Catscratch · 2005-07-02 23:44:48 UTC

Gibs themselves work fine. The problem I’ve found is when you’re health is less than or equal to 0 and greater than FORCE_LIMBO_HEALTH there are no gibs. This does in fact occur in etmain too. So if you’re wounded doing sit-ups waiting for a medic and someone tosses a grenade on you, you completely vanish when the grenade explodes. This is the part that I’m trying to fix.

P4nth3r · 2006-01-17 13:26:58 UTC

Hi,

I know this topic is kinda old, but I tried to implant some gibs in my mod, but I don’t know where to put some of the commands in the code.
Can somebody plz gimme some kind of location of where to put:

cgs.media.gibModels[0] = trap_R_RegisterModel ( “models/gibs/foot.md3” );

and

qhandle_t gibModels[MAX_GIB_MODELS];

Thnx & Greetz Panther aka Way2Evil

_Shadow_Commando · 2006-01-17 16:17:43 UTC

Place

cgs.media.gibModels[0] = trap_R_RegisterModel ( "models/gibs/foot.md3" );

And all other models in cg_main.c
You can put it under:

cgs.media.panzerfaustBrassModel = trap_R_RegisterModel( "models/weapons2/shells/pf_shell.md3" );

And place

qhandle_t		gibModels[MAX_GIB_MODELS];

In cg_local.h cgmedia_t
Under:

qhandle_t		fireteamicons[6];

Good luck

P4nth3r · 2006-01-17 16:43:23 UTC

thnx I’ll try that asap.

Greetz Panther aka Way2Evil

P4nth3r · 2006-01-17 17:14:04 UTC

Well I tried and I con’t get any errors now.
But I don’t get any gibs neither =(
I implented Jaquboss code in mine and I put the gibs from etpro/rtcw in the right map etc.
But when I compile and test it keeps only showing blood and black. =/

I don’t get it. Help!!

Thnx & Greetz Panther

Jaquboss · 2006-01-17 17:50:54 UTC

make sure you have done all that my post tell
make sure you have cg_gibs 1
make sure yoe are loading gibs models and use them ( read post again )

make sure you have tried that

P4nth3r · 2006-01-17 18:21:13 UTC

check
check
not sure, but I don’t get any errors about it. (btw the gib files are all mdc but your load codes says md3 is that right??)
I’ve noticed this happends more often in ET so I think it shouldn’t be a problem.
I think the problem is there. (how do I re-enable that part ofthe code?)
Should I just remove the #if and the #endif??

Thnx & Greetz Panther

kamikazee · 2006-01-17 19:06:29 UTC

You could remove the #if and #endif or put “//” in front of it. “//” (double slash) means that the rest of the line are comments.
