Mod ModMakers to make her work in T3D beta!

This will show you how to convert ModMakers weapons pack over to T3D beta. This will provide all functionality for the weapons including weapon mode and sniper. I also have a complete fix of all the sound files in the pack. The original sound file pack was a horrible mix of Unix Audio files that were corrupted. Unusable in the format provided, I went through the effort to fix, convert and correct all of the sound files. I have also added some of my own files which were collected from various free sources on the web. I will supply them here, but will remove them at first request (not sure about the sharing of these fixed files, they are NOT the original files that were sold with the pack) All audio files are submitted in ogg format.

Load game/scripts/client/modMakerWeapons.cs and game/scripts/server/modMakerWeapons.cs as normal, exec them in client/init.cs and server/game.cs.

edit game/scripts/client/default.bind.cs and from the MMWeaponEditor/docs/starter.fps/client/scripts/default.bind.cs copy the functions function switchMode(%val) and function switchZoom(%val) and the two movemap binds below them into your file. You will also need to add the key to use the m16 (or other weapon) Look for

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "1", "commandToServer('use',"RocketLauncher");", "");

and change it to

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "1", "commandToServer('use',"RocketLauncher");", "");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "2", "commandToServer('use',"m16");", "");

STOCK VS TEAMS code change (I don't have this in stock, someone let me know if this is the wrong location)
(This is in the Teams Implementation www.torquepowered.com/community/resources/view/19447)
In game/scripts/server/game.cs add the following line to the bottom of Function Gameconnection:createPlayer just before the last closing }

Stock T3D the same line will go into the game/scripts/server/gameCore.cs in the package GameCore in function GameConnection::spawnPlayer before the closing bracket of this function.

initModMakerWeapons(%player);

Edit art/datablocks/player.cs and add this to the bottom of the datablock PlayerData(DefaultPlayerData) just before the closing }; Substitute the weapon name for the weapon your loading from MM

maxInv[m16Ammo] = 100;
   maxInv[m16] = 1;

Edit art/gui/playGui.gui and add the following to the file before the last closing };

new GuiCrossHairHud(guiCrosshair) {
      bitmap = "./crossHair";
      wrap = "0";
      profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
      horizSizing = "center";
      vertSizing = "center";
      position = "496 368";
      Extent = "32 32";
      MinExtent = "8 8";
      canSave = "1";
      Visible = "1";
      damageFillColor = "0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 1.000000";
      damageFrameColor = "1.000000 0.600000 0.000000 1.000000";
      damageRect = "50 4";
      damageOffset = "0 10";
   };
   new GuiBitmapCtrl(guiScope) {
      AnchorTop = "1";
      AnchorBottom = "0";
      AnchorLeft = "1";
      AnchorRight = "0";
      bitmap = "";
      wrap = "0";
      profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
      horizSizing = "relative";
      vertSizing = "relative";
      position = "0 0";
      extent = "1024 768";
      minExtent = "8 8";
      visible = "1";
   };

Manual process to convert the weapons files

Create your weapons in the ModMaker program and edit your weapon CS files that were created.
Open each cs file created and replace

~data  WITH  art 
/server/scripts  WITH  scripts/server 
client/ui  WITH  scripts/gui 
starter.fps/data  WITH  art
AudioProfile  WITH  SFXProfile

Automatic methods of converting the weapons files.

NOTE: The conversions below ONLY convert the weapons file, you must do all of the other work manually.

To use SED for the conversion you can supply this command (this is the same command that is used in the conversion program below)

sed -i -e "s*~/data*art*g" -e "s*/server/scripts*scripts/server/*g" -e "s*/client/ui*scripts/gui*g" -e "s*starter.fps/data*art*g" -e "s*AudioProfile*SFXProfile*g" filename

You can also use the scripts that I created for exactly this purpose. I packaged it and you can grab it here.

MM Converter usage:
Create your weapons as normal in MM, copy the export folder to the directory where the MM Converter is stored. Double click the MM Converter, it will extract the conversion scripts, execute them and then exit when completed. You can then copy the MM weapon scripts over and EXEC them as normal. They will have all of the correct paths for T3D Beta at that point.


Oh and yes, that WAS a horrible pun!


When completed, You should have converted your weapons scripts over to T3D Beta and all of the ModMakers stuff should be functional. Watch the video for the stuff in action!
