Small Mod compilation

[webangel]

Playing DoE today and on e1m5 (I think) I ran into some enforcers that were showing as little rainbow colored diamonds. What might I be missing?

Please look into your console. If there is a missing model in R1M5 it should be logged here


@Seven
Wow - page 100!!

[metalseed]

Thanks webangel! It said 2.
Enforcer1.mdl and H_mega1.mdl

[talisa]

hmm thats strange... you're using the setup i shared with you right?
cuz im 100% sure that my setup is working.

did you change anything to the autoexec.cfg or such metalseed?

cuz in the setup i shared with you it doesnt use those models at all, cuz theres only 2skins for enforcer included and they're both for the same hi-poly model which is called enforcer.mdl and not enforcer1.mdl

btw just last night i had some ideas for things id love to see in the smc...

first a thing thats always kinda bothered me since we could gib corpses
i love to be able to gib corpses with rockets, but only with the shambler it feels so lame that this huge massive creature that just shrugs of rockets can suddenly be gibbed with a single rocket once he's dead
can it perhaps be changed so that shambler corpses cannot be gibbed at all? it feels kinda lame that when he's alive he just shrugs of rockets, but once he's dead the corpse can be gibbed with just a single rocket


next... another thing which i always thought was kinda weird
players can telefrag monsters, monsters can telefrag monsters, players can telefrag players. cool i love that.
but when a monster teleports to the position of a player the monsters get gibbed instead of the player? thats really weird not? cuz the rules are 'if something gets teleported to a position where something else is already, the object that is taking up the space that the other item tries teleporting to will be destroyed cuz of the sudden takeup of space'
so.. could it be changed so that if a monster tries teleporting to a player position that the player gets telefragged by the monster instead, like it should be?


and last... i had an idea which i thought would be pretty cool if it would be done
i noticed that when flesh-splats are enabled, the fiend and scrag seem to have different colors flesh-splats then the rest of the enemies, the scrag has green splats and the fiend glowing orange splats, which i love
what if those two enemies would not only have different colors fleshsplats, but that also the color of their blood would be changed to match the color of the splats, and that the scrag would have green-ish blood and the fiend would have glowing orange-red blood!
wouldnt that be totally awesome?

You are using Sevens Starter Kit?
Open your \ID1\autoexec.cfg with your favourite text editor and set enforcermultiskin to 1 and read Sevens comment in the same line! This should help

[metalseed]

the autoexec.cfg in rouge/ were all set to 2 or 4
I just set everything in my id1/ autoexec.cfg to 2
Thanks. Will let you know if I see the rainbow diamonds again

Sean

[talisa]

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
that cant be true....

who where what happened? what'd seven say as to why he left?
seven cant be gone, he's one of the most amazing people here on the forums

please dont stay away seven, and come back, we cant do without you

[gdiddy62]

I agree 100%!!!

[metalseed]

I'm still missing a skin apparently. Is there a console cmd to print the console output to a .txt ?

[talisa]

erm... could you perhaps say from what enemy the skin is that you seem to be missing?

would help a lot, cuz theres lots of monsters, and knowing which monster has a missing skin would help a lot to be able to help you

[webangel]

... Is there a console cmd to print the console output to a .txt ?

Seven made a nice list.
CLICK!! Look at point 15.

LOL! You replied before to the post where I first mentioned them.

Thanks webangel and bluntz. I will try that and post it if I still can't figure it out.

Hello metalseed,

Welcome to this forum. I think we met at a place called youtube, didnt we ?

Regarding your multiskin issue:
There is no magic inside the "small mod compilation"
Changing cvar values will not bring the monster skins into your Quake.
If you do not have the additional monster skin (which you chose via cvar),
DarkPlaces will miss it and give you the beautiful diamond instead.
So what you first need to know is:
Which monster skins do you like/want and add them into your Quake folder.
Then set the cvar according to your used skins.

There is a "starter kit" inside the "small mod compilation".
The reason for this "starter kit" was exactly to help users which are not familiar with it to get a quick and pretty start.
The multiskin cvar values inside this "multiskin autoexec.cfg" will match exactly the multiple skins inside the "starter kit".
If you want to use different or more skins, you need to add them and then set your cvar accordingly.

Setting all cvar´s to "2" will most probably lead to beautiful diamonds

==================

here, i made a quick vid of hexen2 which shows of the water surface and underwater view distortion effects

Hello splitterface,

webangel already guided you to LordHavocs words about the water warp topic. He and MH had a nice discussion some time ago.

But what you maybe didnt know is, that you can change the water warp visual inside DarkPlaces.
There is this tiny cvar:

r_waterwarp

At least you can change the sretching a bit with it.
Default is "1". I personally use "1.7".

What you asked for can be realized with different corpsehealth cvars for each monster.
Smith has this in his modification.
Smith is a nice guy, who absolutely does not deserve the way he was treated in this forum. That is a shame on its own.
Yes, I can implement this idea into V3.83.

next... another thing which i always thought was kinda weird
players can telefrag monsters, monsters can telefrag monsters, players can telefrag players. cool i love that.
but when a monster teleports to the position of a player the monsters get gibbed instead of the player? thats really weird not? cuz the rules are 'if something gets teleported to a position where something else is already, the object that is taking up the space that the other item tries teleporting to will be destroyed cuz of the sudden takeup of space'
so.. could it be changed so that if a monster tries teleporting to a player position that the player gets telefragged by the monster instead, like it should be?

These rules are declared inside triggers.qc in spawn_tdeath () and tdeath_touch ()
A “death zone” is spawned for 0.2 seconds where the teleport target is.
This “death zone” is inflicting 50.000 damage under these conditions:
1) if a monster is teleporting:
It will kill all other monsters inside the death zone
It will be killed if a player is inside the death zone
2) if a player is teleporting:
He will kill all other monsters and players inside the death zone (except invincible players)

These rules can be adjusted/edited/extended to any other rule you want.
The fact that monster teleporting is a very rare thing makes it priority 2, but as mentioned above: everything is possible.

and last... i had an idea which i thought would be pretty cool if it would be done
i noticed that when flesh-splats are enabled, the fiend and scrag seem to have different colors flesh-splats then the rest of the enemies, the scrag has green splats and the fiend glowing orange splats, which i love
what if those two enemies would not only have different colors fleshsplats, but that also the color of their blood would be changed to match the color of the splats, and that the scrag would have green-ish blood and the fiend would have glowing orange-red blood!
wouldnt that be totally awesome?

Look at how I made the "blood" for ROGUE statues (= debris and dust) and do it the same way to get custom blood for the wizards and demons.
So yes, it is possible and will most probably be inside V3.83.
