I'm glad to hear you're starting to explore the Mod, Thraxas.

Here's how the camera system works:
- Use "makecamera=CameraName" to set up a new camera. You must use the name you give to this command with the other camera commands for it to work.
- If the camera should be following or positioned near an entity, you can use the "bindcamtoentity=CameraName" command. Or, if you're needing further control over it's position, you can position it yourself through the seperate "setcampos" commands.
- When you are ready to view your camera to see what it sees, then you'll use the "viewcam=CameraName" command. To return view back to the player, use "0" (That's a zero) in place of the "CameraName".


I can't see your scripts, so I can't offer much more help than that. I also don't know what it is that happens when you try to view the camera. If nothing is happening at all, it would be best that I look at the script to determine what's going wrong. If you're seeing something other than what you expected, such as a wall, or the skybox, this is mainly due to improper positioning of the camera and the camera will need to be "offset" from the entity's origin.

If you don't feel comfortable posting your script here for everyone to see, then perhaps you can email me the script(s) you're using and I can help you from there.


The one and only,

I should have posted my scripts to start with

On the monitor entity I have this script:


I realise that I don't really need two lines of code to do the same thing I was just trying to figure out why I couldn't get it working. In the ifused property of this entity I have the name of the camera entity 'camera001'

On the camera entity I have this script:


What happens when I walk up to the monitor and press 'm'(scancodekeypressed=50) is that it doesn't go to the new camera and I lose control of the mouse. That is I can still walk around my level with 'wasd' but I can't use the mouse to look around, I'm locked into facing the direction I was facing when I pressed 'm'.

Edit:
Removing the second line in the first script so it just reads:
plrdistwithin=60,SCANCODEKEYPRESSED=50:activateifused=1

that the bizarre mouse thing doesn't happen.

Ahem..I'm a total newb when it comes to Modding with FPSC.. Is Ply's mod the mod that has recoil on weapons? I know that the ironsights have to be part of the model, but does this do recoil?

You are thinking airmod, however, airmod has been implented into almost all mods now, if not all, including this mod.

On some guns, take most (or all) of the stock guns, you can use simplezoom settings to center the gun on the sights. Many people have done this including myself, Pride, cyclone, and General Jackson

Yeh, I never really got into the Ironsight fad though, feels too much likely CoD mimickery...

BTW Ply, you're site has been spammed with a guy advertising Viagra pills, it's all over the forum. I'd clear it up, but I don't have the power to remove it...

A lot of modern FPS games have ironsights these days. I get kind of annoyed if they don't. Take Rainbow Six for example.

Don't mention it, Thraxas. Btw, I love the new sig. I hope you don't mind if I use it.


@CG:

Wow, I didn't think anyone checked those forums anymore. I've made a habit of stopping in there once in a while, but since people rarely ever post there i've been less and less often.
Thanks for the heads up, though.

Here is a video of the 'security camera gun' I was telling you about yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsQ2GLvweJk

Excuse the quality of the video, I am using evaluation copies of capturing and converting software.

I use fraps to record the vid, then I use Windows Movie Maker to compress the vid and convert it into .wmv format (YouTube accepts that format) And the best thing is you won't have that "Evaluation Copy" written across your video.

No problem....

@Thraxas

That's pretty sweet! Does it act like a sort of sentry turret/camera?

At the moment it does, but it's just meant to be a normal camera. I believe Plystire has fixed this in a newer build of the mod which is unreleased as yet.

PLY! PLY! PLY! PLY! 1. Like my new picture? 2. You should make an action that works like a portal from Portal with 2 cameras and everything. So left mouse click is blue portal with camera and right mouse click a red portal. I hope that somewhat made sense.

Yes, that made sense. And next time please Edit your post, especially when it's only been 2 minutes.

Making a realistic portal would not only require a lot of code and work, but it would not be useful outside of being a portal (and nothing more) and thus goes beyond the scope of this Mod, which is to extend the engine by adding FPI command or engine features that can be used in a variety of games / scenarios.

LOL, that's hilarious! The most simple problem ever! I hope your not geeks because all you have to do is press alt and tab. Try it and see! See why I hope your not geeks? Because if you were that'd be really embaracing! Oh yeah, I meant something like makeportal1onnearest. The portal gun script would be like



That is what I meant. Just a single action command that works as a portal and can be made to look good.

That single action command would be extremely hard to incorporate into the FPSC source code and wouldn't be a useful addition to this mod.

freak of nature 64, did you not read my previous response to your request? That type of command goes beyond the scope of this Mod, and so it will not be implemented.

Ply I just found this bug, in the latest release, weapon flaks decal doesn't show on explosion and the warheads stays stuck to wutever it hit until a new one has been shot..

for example when I fire the wwii bazooka the rocket hits the ground and no visual effects happen (just health decreases AS IF it did explode) and it stays there till I shoot another..

here's a screen of wut it looks like after it's being fired
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2479/3645221078_f513a29b40_o.jpg

I tried it without the mod and it worked fine..

I know it's probably been answered already, but I really don't have time to read through over 1,700 messages, but:
Can Ply's mod be used to make a game and then the game commercially sold?

Oh, and also, how do you get the vehicles to work? I copy-and-pasted the code snipet you have on the first page, and used it as a .fpi, under main. I walked up, and nothing happened, so I pressed enter, and got teleported somewhere out in space, way off to the side, not on a platform, but I never fell, died, or anything. P. S. I am using the 1.09 Beta release for FPS Creator 1.15.

Project Blue is a collection of the older Mods from the forums. It contains AirMod V0.6, part of Lemur V2, Ply's Mod V1.09 (in beta), and S4Mod. (Alphabetical order)

Ply's Mod will be discontinued. That is why those who have purchased this Mod have been offered a free license to Project Blue (which also contains this Mod)

I just told you.

Project Blue has Ply's Mod V1.09 integrated into it (meaning it has everything that Ply's Mod has). It also has 3 other Mods integrated into it... so that means that the difference between Ply's Mod and Project Blue in terms of features would be three Mods worth of features.

I think it would be best for you to grab the download for Project blue and catch up on thread posts. Read the readme for it. It will explain everything.


Also, I need to correct my previous statement.. Ply's Mod also has AirMod V0.6, so the differense is Lemur and S4Mod.

If I recall, some things were integrated from xrMod... not sure if they were removed or not, but the last time I checked they were still in there.

Please bring further discussion of this to the Project Blue thread. Thank you.

Ply, a quick question. How exactly do I use the shader system on the guns? I saw your video on youtube with the reflective weapons and I want to have a go at making a golden ak47 with reflections. How would I go about making that achieveable?
