Oh yes!!, if you watch the movie, the gameplay depicts the whole sequence, some changes because of engine limitations are done, but, basically, the scene is the same: Aascari drills fall from the ceiling, the Hand of God destroys the tower, another Ascari drill breaks through one of the bridges, the Mjolnir enters the zion dock breaking the gates and then fires the EMP...

Oh: I have finished the Gnosis, the Shiva is WIP actually.

Oh, those are only for the menu background map!, yes, it´ll sound crazy to do 10 models just for seeing there standing still, but...well, I want things well done

Haha, thans!!, it´s like "if a newbie like me can, you can!!"

Well, maybe it is not the best model ever, but it is seen from the distance, so 4K detail is not 100% needed.

And (believe it or not) this is the Gnosis

LEGO forever...

Don´t you worry. I repeat, that´s s feature that can wait, or maybe it will not be added once I finish this v2.0 of the mod. I have played this morning a full match and find that it is almost done, some little polishment in the health and damage of certain npcs and that´s all the code left I can do. I think it´s time to led Zion Warcry sourcecode have a rest.

No. The Gunner guys walk and run, and the trolleys do the same. What I want is that the gunners follow the movement of the trolley guys that also walks and run. Once they spawn, the trolley guys run to "attack" (give ammo) the player, or the bot that has no ammo loaded, and I want the gunners (that spawn at the same time) follow the trolley guy at a given distance, instead of running or standing still engaging combat, I want them to engage combat BUT always keeping distance with the trolley guys, as if they are tied with a beam that has a fixed lenght.

			if ( CL_IsThirdPerson ()) { gViewPort->ShowHud1(); gViewPort->HideHud();}
			if ( !CL_IsThirdPerson ()) { gViewPort->ShowHud(); gViewPort->HideHud1();}

			PlaySound("player/hudon.wav", 1);//(c)Admer


		}

Oh nothing of that, just that I use the:

EMIT_SOUND(ENT(pev), CHAN_VOICE, "player/hudon.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);

I obtain:

BTW: i need spoonfeeding with the gunners following the trolleys. I have added the Nebuchadnezzar ship to the map, the Ganesha and Caduceus are ready too, I´m rewriting the manual, the mod is finished except for that part. I really can left that undone, I did it with the trolley code ages ago in 2008, but it could be cool if that part could be added before I can consider dinished the mod finally.

HOW I DO IT

AKA: the absolute dummies method!!

NOTE: All credit must go to Sluggo the author of the original tutorial of which I commit the heresy of modifying it in the authentic Abbadon´s Clumsy Coding style!!

In your CLIENT workspace just do this for creating toggle keys:

In hud.cpp

Under

#include "vgui_scorepanel.h"

Put

bool g_bShowHudToggle;// Or whatever key you want

Inside

//DECLARE_MESSAGE(m_Logo, Logo)
int __MsgFunc_ResetHUD(const char *pszName, int iSize, void *pbuf)
{
return gHUD.MsgFunc_ResetHUD(pszName, iSize, pbuf );

Put

g_bShowHudToggle = false;

Inside

// This is called every time the DLL is loaded
void CHud :: Init( void )
{

Put

g_bShowHudToggle = false;

Now in input.cpp

Under

extern int g_iAlive;

Put

extern bool g_bShowHudToggle;

Under

kbutton_t	in_graph;  // Display the netgraph

Put

kbutton_t   in_showhud;

Under

void IN_DuckUp(void) {KeyUp(&in_duck);}

Put

void IN_ShowHudToggle( void ) {g_bShowHudToggle = !g_bShowHudToggle;}

Now into

int CL_ButtonBits( int bResetState )
{

Put

//=============================
	if ( g_bShowHudToggle )
	{
	 Yourstuff here...
	}
//==============================

And into

void InitInput (void)
{

Put

gEngfuncs.pfnAddCommand ( "showhud", IN_ShowHudToggle);

Probably into both input.cpp and hud.cpp you must put...

#include "vgui_TeamFortressViewport.h"

...because I cannot remember if, because I add the "showhud" stuff there (the function that shows and hides the Combat HUD), the compiler needs it to build the client.dll.

Now in your kb_act.lst file into the yourmod\gfx\shell folder of your mod just add (I am using my code here as an example):

"showhud"				"Combat Screen Reticle CSR ON"

I hope that it works for you too.

in Binding new Keys that run clientside functions. Post #343680

Done!! I have do some testings and discovered that I don´t need the IN_ whatever part, just create the command inside the client part and call the "showhud" part inside the code that handles the toggle mechanism. Now it works very well!!, pity that I don´t know how to put it in the kb_act.lst file so I can execute the impulse command that disables the HUD (HIDEHUD_ALL) and the command "showhud" at the same time... I mean, bind ONE key for two commands, of course.

in Binding new Keys that run clientside functions. Post #343676

I did the duck part for the SIEGE position!!, the problem is that it was applied to IN_ keys, so I can´t figure how to do it for commands like "ShowScope" or "HideScope" as the impulse commnads do in the server side part:

	case 102:
       CLIENT_PRINTF( ENT(pev), print_console, "Radar System OFF \n" );
       EMIT_SOUND(ENT(pev), CHAN_VOICE, "player/radaroff.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
       radar_on = 0;
       MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, gmsgRadar, NULL, pev );
       WRITE_BYTE(0);
       MESSAGE_END();
       break;

Any material you´ll need just ask. Thank you so much Admer.

in Binding new Keys that run clientside functions. Post #343674

It is supposed to use this two functions:

ShowScope ();
HideScope();

That is, the HUD overlay shown OVER the player HUD.

caption text

Is the frame rectangle with the letters, the space for the radar, etc. When I hide the HUD (HIDEHUD_ALL) the frame persists, and the two functions that create and erase the frame are those two.

in After compile some models cycler_sprite missing Post #343666

DON´T duplicate entities... insert them one by one. Sometimes if you duplicate them ( because they are the same and you don´t feel the need of doing that boring thing on and on ) the compiler start doing crazy things (believe me, that happened to me... ).

Posted 5 years ago2020-01-21 15:36:53 UTC
in Binding new Keys that run clientside functions. Post #343665

I am studying this tutorial trying to understand how to make that, when a impulse command is activated a function that is in the clientside part (cl.dll) runs.

Binding New keys TUT

But I cannot find a good solution for it, although I know that the weapon code is shared between client and server projects, overall if I try to use the function I want into the "impulse" cases part in the server side.

I DON´T know how to do it.
If there are any examples of that, please tell me where they are to study them so I can implement the method.

What I do is do the model using barney´s mesh as a rule for the size. For the mod I use a single scale of 37 for mesh and bones (in HLMV) once compiled , this way the models take the size they need for Zion Warcry.

in Is it possible to make a monster follow another monster? Post #343574

Aniway... Any ideas on how to solve this? I have surrender some hours ago... I mean: how can I make the gunners follow the trolley guy without crashing the whole game. My compile is Win32_release not debug, so I cannot debug a thing, also, I am not able to setup the projects correctly to be Win32_debug instead (each time I did it I find myself with a ton of errors and "thiscall", "unknown stuff" etc.

PS: I have tried the tracktarget method of the Hornet and, no, it still crashes the game.

in Is it possible to make a monster follow another monster? Post #343560

Done!!, but game crash each time the monster spawns...

Here´s all the code. Forgive me if I did not rename the Islave monster from CIslave to CGunner

I have modified its relationship:

//=========================================================
// Classify - indicates this monster's place in the
// relationship table.
//=========================================================
int    CISlave :: Classify ( void )
{
    return    CLASS_PLAYER_ALLY;
}


int CISlave::IRelationship( CBaseEntity *pTarget )
{

    if ( FClassnameIs( pTarget->pev, "monster_sentinel" ) )
    {
        return R_NM;
    }
    if ( FClassnameIs( pTarget->pev, "player" ) )
    {
        return R_AL;
    }
    if ( FClassnameIs( pTarget->pev,  "monster_trolley" ) )
    {
        return R_HT;
    }


    return CBaseMonster::IRelationship( pTarget );
}

wrote the new code:

//=========================================================
// Codigo para seguir a los Trolley
//=========================================================

Task_t    tlFollow[] =
{
//    { TASK_SET_FAIL_SCHEDULE,    (float)SCHED_CANT_FOLLOW },    // If you fail
    { TASK_MOVE_TO_TARGET_RANGE,(float)640        },    // Move within 640 of target ent (monster_trolley)
//    { TASK_SET_SCHEDULE,        (float)SCHED_TARGET_FACE },
};

Schedule_t    slFollow[] =
{
    {

        tlFollow,
        ARRAYSIZE ( tlFollow ),
        bits_COND_NEW_ENEMY |
        bits_COND_LIGHT_DAMAGE |
        bits_COND_HEAVY_DAMAGE |
        bits_COND_HEAR_SOUND,
        bits_SOUND_COMBAT |
        bits_SOUND_DANGER,
        "Follow"
    },
};

Of course I have definded all...

DEFINE_CUSTOM_SCHEDULES( CISlave )
{
    slSlaveAttack1,
    slSlaveEstablishLineOfFire,
    slFollow,
};

And in:

Schedule_t *CISlave :: GetSchedule( void )

I placed:

//=================================================
// He follows who he hates...
//=================================================
    if ( HasConditions (bits_COND_SEE_HATE ) )
    {
        return  slFollow;
    }
 //=================================================

Also I put the "follow" thing in:

Schedule_t *CISlave :: GetScheduleOfType ( int Type )
{
    switch    ( Type )
    {
    case SCHED_FAIL:
        slSlaveEstablishLineOfFire;//ZWC
     case SCHED_RANGE_ATTACK1:
        return slSlaveAttack1;
    case SCHED_TARGET_CHASE:
        return slFollow;
    }
    return CSquadMonster :: GetScheduleOfType( Type );
}

Well...no avail. Now I cannot give you the aiscript setup, but the moster still do crazy things instead of what it should do...I will try to do a vídeo to show you what this monster is behaving.

It´s a copy of the zombie, with minor modifications: it´s a flying monster (if not, it fall to the ground) for the trace attack function ( it emits sparks if you shot at it) and the punch angle once it hits the player, which in this case is monstruous (300/500 while in the Ichtyosaur is 5 or 8).

Aniway, I did some tests last night (2:00 p.m... I´m tired) and the animations played ok, except that when finished the script, the idle animation returns to the idle-off animation by itself, I think is because the monster lacks of the attack animation yet (i am working on this animation right now).

I will do further tests and see what happen once the model is 100% finished. I can pass you the Mod for you to test it if you want with the map file so you can see what´s wrong in case it fails again.

Thanks Tschumann!!!

The monster must have not its AI activated because it start to attack even before finishing the scripted sequence

, also there is the idle problem, it performs the idle between each scripted sequence. I am thinking about Quark be the culprit :/

I see in the far distance a TOTAL FAILURE... It´s not normal to push people to spend 1500$ or more just to play an only game. It´s nuts. Bad is the situation for a game if it have to go VR just to make us be interested... Just my opinion.

Please. I tried the tuts and something is wrong because the idle anim still plays between each animation.Could someone give me a basic setup for this?.

1.Trigger Auto activates Multimanager
2.Multimanager starts each animation at a given time(aiscript or script), now I am not sure of what should I use, because I used those for generic monsters without problems, the problem came because of me using a monster with its own AI (the handofgod monster).
3.Once done the monster starts its own AI, idleing and attacking.

Help.

If you need files, or the Mod, or whatever thinng you say, just tell.

Oh, the solution was nonsense, something basic that I forgot totally until I found it in my old archives of web pages on modification of Half-Life, pages of the year 1999 or 2001, I do not remember 100% well the date.

Well, this is weird. I did scripted sequences before but this time I am having troubles because the IDLE animation plays between each scripted sequence making all look wrong.
Here´s my multimager and scripted_sequences setup.

multimanager

first scripted_sequence

Second to fourth are the same except the name

Just in case, this is the QC file of the model.

Qc file

What can you see that´s wrong?. I have used the same scripted sequence and multimanager setup of other sequence but with only the names changed.

Also. How can I do so the turrets will not shoot where Bip01 is and shoot to the center of mass of the model?

in half-life still updating with necessary features Post #343356

BG maps is a full fledged feature only a dozen mods would really take advantage of

I love how they look on my mod

I think this...

v 2.0 menu

Look far better than this...

v1.1 menu

The background map has moving APUs patrolling the bridges, trolleys running here and there carrying ammo boxes, and the Neb hovercraft flying around.

And that map, the playable map, needs HW acceleration for all the models it has (VERY-high-poly models i´m afraid

) overall when it is full of npcs flying around and 32 bots and 8 turrets are firing their guns with the addition of all the tracers, explosions, debris, etc. you can imagine.

in Guess who's coming to dinner... Post #343354

EDIT: I have noticed after using the aiscripted sequence that 4 of the animations did a JUMP or suffer of HICCUPS along a certain number of frames. Could it be caused because of the high number of joints and the lenght of the animation?

The model has 100 joints with a total number of 50 frames with all keyframes SET, no frames generated by MS3D on those sequences.
The animations look right in MS3D, no jumps or hiccups whatsoever, the problem is shown in HLMV after they being exported as smd and then compiled (I did use MS3D and Guistudiomdl to do so).

That makes the full sequence look horrible!!!

Any help will be much apreciated.

BTW: Will it be compiled in Blender without all this problems?

Any ideas? :/

Edit: No problem!!: I have fixed it although with minor problems almost unnoticeable.

-Support for background menu maps.
-ed_alloc crash fix increasing number of entities.
-Full GPU rendering posibilities.

That´s no reinventing at all!!

It´s just:

Add a better background for Half-Life mods
Avoid frustrating crashes pushing you to reduce entities that you need
Avoid using the whole CPU horsepower for rendering the map and models

That´s no reinventing, it´s just updating!! erase the background map if you wish, but the other two things must have been done ages ago. Period.

Yes, you are right, but for Goldsource modders will help them to publish very demanding mods onn Steam, because I think Xash is not very welcome there.

I don't care about bump mapping or other fancy things, with just the GPU part and the ed_alloc fix will be more than enough.

Many Xash3D users will return to Goldsource...

Hand Of God monster test #1 Successful

Hand Of God monster test #2 Successful

Now I am working on the full animated sequence synchronizing the attack of the "hand of God" with the fall and destruction of the Hecatonquiro crane. That's why I stopped working on the design of the device for 3D games, but as soon as I finish this part of the Zion Warcry mod I go back to it !!
I hope you like it!!

Move bip01 joint in the z axis (if the animation consist of 30 frames set the keyframe on 1 at distance zero, 15, half the distance, and set keyframe 30 at distance goal), and, ta-dah!! of course it must be done in the animation program.

But, what will you do?, maybe mapping? it is hard to find people to join a project which only have a name and no other information.

Also: what you aer asking for is a full team of developers that have to make a mod (or a total conversion) just for the like of doing it!!. If you can give some work already done sometimes people will spoonfed you a bit as I was before (thanks eternally to Sheppard and Solokiller for spoonfed me with a showel

), but you give very few to others to make them be interested in your project.

What about a storyline?, it could be cool to see how the story will start, what are your goals, what amount of work you have already done, what assets you will need (let´s say you´ll need 4 monsters, 4 new weapons, and so on), what kind of maps you will need (remember that unless you use Xash3D open world maps are not very Goldsource friendly), if you will overpass engine limits (max_edicts crashes will occur), etc, etc.

Once that info is available, people will consider to join a team. In the meantime you SHOULD start to gather some skills in any of the areas of the mod: mapping, 2D editing, sound editing, modelling, etc.

Oh. And AVOID DOING THINGS LIKE THIS!!!

https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-aliens-vs-predator

You cannot take another game´s assets and then put them into your mod. (Gamebanana is your paradise, man).

It is better to use SKINS and modify them giving ALL credit to the creators and AFTER ALWAYS asking permission from them.

Unless you are doing a private and non distributable mod, of course.
