I am just trying it out and have a question to that condition: How do I *point* at an object? Is the pointer the crosshair (like in Oblivion)? And is the collision mode of the object taken into account? If a tree p.e is definded as a box for collision mode.

EDIT: Hm, tried it out looks very good but suddenly my FPSC game is at a very low resolution making it look look like Doom 1
Problem is probably that my screen resolution is 1440x900 which is not supported by FPS so the mods autoselect feature gives me 800x600 (thats what it looks like). Any ideas how I can solve this?

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

Sounds like you're making your way through this nicely, hockeykid. I hope my assistance on MSN (mainly programming in general) was of use. I'd hate to see your programming style fall into a rut. And I really hope the next bit of code you send me has a better "format" than the previous ones. lol

Keep at it and you'll be better than me before you know it.


Quote: "You see if I posted that request in lets say, the project blue thread I would of probably never had gotten a reply."


Yes, that is true. But that's because Project Blue is currently in the finalizing stages of v1.7 and we don't need a new feature gumming up the works.


The one and only,

Um my screen resolution is 1440x900 and it works fine. Make sure that in your setup.ini and buildgamesetup.ini you dont have height= and width=

There you go I decreased it to 100, tweak the 100 on the last line if you want to change the range.

You where right, thats probably the reason. The funny thing is that no matter how often I erase height=, width= in the setup and buildsetup, after building a game its alwasy back to width=1024
height=768 I also ran the cleaner twice. My older games still work normal.

I know I must sound like a complete noob but i have no idea how to deal with it.

PS: I was testrunning a game with 3 characters chasing me and the frame rate was always above 20(!) Grats, I dont know how you did it, but your mod does miracles for my FPS

Make sure you close fpsc delete the height and width then save and reopen fpsc.

what would be good is a toll so you can edit the max FPS in-game, so when your testing game (and building) you can decide the fps rate yourself, based on your own computer specs. but it's just an idea.

I finally got to run through the features, but I found some bugs. when in third person the weapon gets assigned to the player not the character. Also I'd suggest more of an "over-the-shoulder" view because it would be easier to see directly in front of you. when the character is near a wall, the camera tends to go outside the wall not allowing me to walk forward. Finally, when jumping the character is just lifted in the air instead of having a jump animation. Other than those bug this is A great beta.

Haven't heard anyone report this, try cleaning dbos and bin and restart your computer. If anyone else is having this problem please come forward.

change the size by using flashlightrange=x, you can apply it to a trigger zone and there are commands that change the color but i couldn't get them to work so i never announced them. If you want to see if you can get them to work there like ambience.

flashlightblue=x
flashlightgreen=x
flashlightred=x

ok, i've found the exact problem of the bug.

when you place the VWEAP on the floor, it's fine. (apart from bumping around or sliding occasionally)

when you place it on a table or object, it's invisible.

Like Ekipshi said give the body.fpi to a characters main slot. (it is suggested that you open the characters texture and make the head and arms invisible.

i did the same thing with third person and the gun model is floating in the air. i made it so the character has the gun, but then you can't fire it, and the gun's black. (? why are the guns always black when the character's holding them?)

Because the gun you pick up doesn't attach to the entity, and as for why the guns are black what is your ambience set to?

I think he said he made the guns that you pick up transparent so that when you shoot you are actually shooting the gun you picked up.

would it?

hang on, what i see is, you're making the gun transparent, then giving it to the player. the character might hold a gun if you gave it one, but it doesn't shoot it.

The workaround you're using in this Mod would work just as well in any other Mod with third person.

Btw Sean I noticed another bug.(I apologize if you dont feel comfortable being called by that name here) Anyways alternate fire doesn't work. For example the combatknife by EAI from the store works on the main anim but the secondary it freezes midway through and never moves an inch again unless you switch weapons and switch back to it.

IF you want a better explanation i could show you a screen on msn tomorrow or something. Also hope the "feature" is going good. I got 1 feature to work (cant mention it here) but soon after it stopped working and I couldnt fix it.
