Pretty much what the titles says, if anyone can help me out i will be very happy!

[b]EDIT - Does anyone know how to change the zoom in sound effects as well? I have checked the gunspec.txt and have not figured it out yet...

1:


You will have to put the crosshair from the gun's folder to C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\FPS Creator\Files\languagebank\english\gamecore\huds. THIS IS BUGGY! The only real way for it to work without bugs is to get a mod, I know Project Blue has the ability, but I don't know any others.

2: It depends on the gun, if I could see the gunspec, I could help you.

I believe I should put a smart comment here, but I wouldn't have time to think about it.

Do you want to have no sound, or change it to something else?

Yes, change that, but the zooming in sound I cannot find... I'll have to take a bit longer.

There is nothing telling it to play the zoom in sound. If Errant sees this, he'll know.

Oh, well I'm working on that now... disregard the last direction.

EDIT: I have no clue now. The best thing to do is email him. If he has a solution, could you post it here, so that others may benefit from it?

Alright so sframe2 is not the right one to change, that has to do with reloading. And changing sframe3 didn't do anything, so ill keep messing with it as well!

EDIT - Alright i'll send him an email, hopefully he responds.. And yes i will post the results here!

None of the sframes have anything to do with the zooming in animation range, meaning that it's manifesting on it's own, maybe because of the FPSC-Game.exe itself.

Yep, that's how I came to my clueless conclusion.

These are both simple...
Just change the crosshair HUD named (crosshair.dds) to a blank image. This will make the crosshair fully 'transparent' because the background will be pure black, which FPSC reads as transparent.
That will fix the crosshair.

As for the sounds, I'm not sure.
Usually there is a sound called 'zoom' or something like that, but there doesn't appear to be one.

It's alot simpler to change things without messing with the gunspec (unless you know exactly what you're doing) so try and explore simpler methods beforehand.

Thanks for commenting TiTaniUm! I got the crosshair to work, but with the sound thing, i emailed Errant and am waiting for a reply. I will post what he says if it works. I wish it was a simple as changing on sound effect -____-

EDIT - I tried to add a blank sound file, and named it zoom.wav. Mission was unsuccessful

@Exu Corporations

Try the attached gunspec. Remember to delete the old .dbo for the change to take effect.

There appear's to be a hardcoding in FPSC to use sound4 when entering simplezoom. For this I just bypassed it by leaving sound4 blank and reassigning sound4 and sound5 to 5 and 6 respectively. The attached version has no sound when entering/exiting simplezoom so if you wan't a sound to play for that, just point to it in the sound4 slot and it should play it. If you wan't to have a sound when exiting simplezoom you will need to add a soundframe for it and either use the same sound as sound4 or add an entry for sound7.

I knew it was hardcoded! Thanks Errant, I was also wondering about this.

Thanks for clarifying,

Thanks a lot Errant! But now im wondering something, will this work for the other guns? From either the GCS or from mp9&10? Do i just add what you changed to the other gunspec's or is there more to it? Just wondering Thanks again!

EDIT - Do you think you might be able to release like a pack with all the fixed gunspec's? (For the guns in the GCS, and Mp9&10) Obviously it is a lot of work, and your probably busy, but it would make a lot of people happy!

Do silenced guns make a difference to non-silenced guns? Since the AI still hears it.


Cheers.

God help me, Please.

No, the AI i think will hear it no matter what. Maybe you can make it so they can't hear it with a script or mod or something? I don't know much about scripting, so im not the one to ask...

@Akanto10- Yep- No problem.

@2Beastmode4u- The soundstrength=x setting in gunspec is supposed to affect the range which Dark AI can hear a gunshot if it is listening for sounds (the default is =100). I'm not really sure about how the math works out for it though but be aware that AI can usually hear other sounds like footsteps or reloading from a decent distance. The only really good way I've seen to use stealth gameplay with silenced weapons is with very level specific scripting and mods that allow scripted detection of if specific weapons are being used.

@Exu Corporations- Yes, similar changes can be made with other weapons privided that you know what you are doing in the gunspec (although ultimately it's a benifit to know the quirks of FPSC as well). I believe therre's a thread in script chat dedicated to learning about gunspec settings.

I'll be making changes/updates and reuploading to the store as not all the changes are limited to gunspec with some weapons. Later, I'll make a thread/log so people will know which weapons have been updated and when to re-download. For changes that are only gunspec I will likely post them in that thread as well.

Also, this is off topic and I don't want to be a jerk or anything but every thread I open with posts from you lags really badly and I think it's because your avatar is too big for these forums or the image-host is too slow... it's like 3.3MB lol

Im sorry, ill change it then. I just found this when browsing google and i loved unreal so i went with it. Ill change it

EDIT - I changed it, does it still lag your computer/browser?

And about the thread for the gunspec's, if you do make it i shall be very happy

Also, if i change the soundstrength to 0 then nothing can hear me? If so that's great!
