Why scope don't work ?

trAnc3 · 2010-06-15 12:47:55 UTC

Hi there,
So what i want to do, is that thompson could zoom as fg42 can.
I tried to search code with FG42SCOPE, then copy and rename it to THOMPSONSCOPE from every where it was and put it near, so theoretically i wrote new weapon (WP_THOMPSONSCOPE), but with out any result. I go to game and press mouse2(altweapon) but it doesn’t zoom like i want, so i can’t understand what i done wrong?

… dont forget to edit the *.weap file (and the animation)

i looked into fg42 .weap but didn’t see anything special about zoom, what i could add to thompson.weap

It the animation is important right now ? i mean, can it zoom with out editing of human_base script file ?

trAnc3 · 2010-06-15 13:09:39 UTC

cmon guys help me plz =]]]]

IndyJones · 2010-06-15 13:23:06 UTC

calm down. take ur time.

Cambodunum · 2010-06-15 16:52:14 UTC

… be sure you didnt forgot to define WP_THOMPSONSCOPE for WP_THOMPSON
… just creating a “new” weapon called WP_THOMPSONSCOPE isnt enough
… sorry if it sounds bitchy - but i dont know whats your skill/know-how
… if i remember correctly its in the sheet where you define the equipment
… im currently at my office so i cant take a look into the specific part/code

Scennative · 2010-06-15 17:08:36 UTC

ah, you must make fakemodels for:

	modModel 0			"models/multiplayer/kar98/v_kar98_scope.md3"
	modModel 1			"models/multiplayer/kar98/kar98_att.md3"

trAnc3 · 2010-06-15 17:25:07 UTC

Are u talking about this ?



static const weap_ws_convert_t aWeapID[WP_NUM_WEAPONS] = {

	{ WP_NONE,				WS_MAX },			// 0

         list of weapons...

	{ WP_THOMPSONSCOPE,		WS_THOMPSON },

Or where can i define it ?

But i did all like WP_FG42SCOPE had ;\

noob

its in bg_pmove or bg_misc ?

Thanks for reply anyway !

Cambodunum · 2010-06-15 17:26:56 UTC

for a copy of a FC42_SCOPE he doesnt need fakemodels like for a K43/M1 … if i remember correctly … its 2 years ago when ive added a second fg42-like-weapon … so maybe im wrong, but im pretty sure (cuz i didnt needed these)

… should be in bg_misc
… ill take a look later, maybe im able to create a diff
… from my old mod, so youre able to check it

( be sure youre also having { WP_THOMPSON, WS_THOMPSONSCOPE }, )

dam i just need that thompson could zoom when i press on mouse2

CoD4Fun · 2010-06-15 17:31:04 UTC

i dont know the answer, but just a little question. do you want to only look through a scope with the thompson ? if yes then you only gotta do this client side (not 100% sure). but if you want to go the harder way and let the playermodels do this scoping anim, can you pls write to me a pm how you did it ?

thx in advance

[edit] i ask this because im still a bit stuck with calling some of the animations defined in body.aninc. i can only call a few, but not all i am missing something essential. still there are functions overriding other functions imo. also some others dont work. look here:

i can do some of these on the playermodel and also know how. but with some others i fail

[edit2] a i see you already answered while i was typing. your code changes therefore should be client side, most likely something in cg_draw.c

I will use already existed animation, its called stand_rifle, i will just replace name of animation in human_base.script

Well i already tested a lot of those animations, and all of them worked nice, and i am using etmod to see animation names and then replace them in human_base.script

No it’s not only cg_draw

Qualmi · 2010-06-15 18:30:34 UTC

UJERebel · 2010-06-15 19:05:28 UTC

This is called a forum, so other people can see things to…
Qualmi, why the hell would you pm the solution and not post it, you really feel so important? :o

Mostly i don’t like discussions as these, because im a child, but now you arent even childdish, you are sad…

Qualmi · 2010-06-15 19:10:09 UTC

yep you are right, i am sad

but still you gotta understand me. i am just disappointed by some people, but it doesnt really belong here. so just understand me or GTFO.

thx
