Thanks all, I got alot of ideas for future monsters. I kinda wish I could take off from work for a month and get this done, but alas, real life changes are making it difficult to get as much done as I would like.

Your interest is greatly appreciated...

Me too man lol only having a few hours a day to work on things sucks hehh and sometimes Im just all worn out after work. No rush man if I had like a week off from work it would be great!

Hmm a few things to consider here Gazer. New Mp maps means there are new numbers being used for the mp levels in hub info. You may have to edit your defs and switch numbers around. It may be best to extract the 3 def files again. And copy and paste you definitions into them again because there may even be new definitions in them. Which would then make it so when it loads yours it wont find certain things. So update your kpf using the newest defs is the cleanest way to go. I can't tel 100% yet without looking at anything though.

Checking now though excuse me just rambled that part out up there^ Worked fine for me just do what I say above should work. When there are updates we have to consider the changes they are not responsible for changes to our mods when they are trying to make the game better.

After you unzip the "game.kpf" file use this to view and copy files to your Turok 2 directory. In your Turok 2 directory create a "scripts" folder and a "defs/actors" folder.

If we wanted to display the damage done to an enemy on the screen, the first thing we need to do is create a script for enemies.
So first create a new file and call it "Enemy.txt" and place it in the scripts folder. Edit the file and create a class named Enemy and add the OnDamage callback function like so:

Code: [Select]

class Enemy : ScriptObject
{
kActor@ self;
Enemy(kActor@ actor)
{
@self = actor;
}
void OnDamage(kDamageInfo& in dmgInfo)
{
Hud.AddMessage("Enemy took " + dmgInfo.hits + " damage");
}
}

Now we just have to hook this script up to all the enemies in the game, but for testing let's just hook it up to the Raptoid enemy.
All the definitions of everything in the game is in the folder "defs". enemies are in "defs/actors/enemies.txt"

So first let's copy the "defs/actors/enemies.txt" file that was in the game.kpf that you unzipped before, and paste that into "Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil/defs/actors/enemies.txt"
Edit the file and the first entry is the Raptoid enemy. It's already defined all the properties and components needed by enemies in the game so we are going to add our custom script component class to the enemy by adding:

Code: [Select]

Begin_Component "kexScriptComponent"
scriptClass "Enemy"
End_Component   
That's all you need to do. Run the game - make sure you're in developer mode by opening the console and typing "developer 1" if you weren't you need to close and reopen the game after setting it. When a Raptoid is damaged it should display that damage text.

That is really helpful man thanks a lot. Yeah keep up the good work can't wait to see your Turok 2 mod

Hey that's really nice I like the atmosphere seems to have a good feel for this horror part of the map cool idea.

We will listen to Darren's wishes about sharing these. So please nobody share or post these if you want to listen just go to his Bandcamp It is a great site it gives you a bunch of file formats and allows you to really hear the music(even before buying). So just drop by there if you need to hear. I bought on amazon and on bandcamp because bandcamp has more stuff and is much better. Doesn't bother me I would buy again anyone need it? bandcamp allows us to buy for friends PM me.

Thanks for sharing that on band camp. I really hope you will release more Turok goodies soon really exciting to me will buy all for more than the price lol.

That is not about kissing up it is about respect sir. The music is perfect for Turok and if you take the music out of these games and give it something else I don't know if it would of had the same effect imho.

I would like to know how deep did you get into this Darren? Because I was once a musician and I know you really have to be inside the idea to make this kind of quality match. Did you read the comics and view the game when you made these. I may just email you so we can set up a better focus here.
