This is great thread! Im having one big annoying issue though. My editor crashes a lot. Turns out i cant even save a map. Would re installing the game help? anyone having any issues like this?  Thanks.



Haven't come across an error like that yet D:

Ye, maybe uninstalling, delete root folder for good measure, and reinstalling will help...

Theres 3 types of crosshairs you can set for each weapon in weaponInfo and they are:
trackingCrosshair
lockonCrosshair
scopeCrosshair

You can see examples of them for the bore/rocket launcher/plasma rifle/tek bow. I don't see any default crosshair or something like that so you only got those 3 to work with.

Doing this with a weapon forces the weapon to always use the tracking crosshair and it won't actually track because of the maxTrackingDegrees set to 0. But it kinda lags behind like the bore and rocket launcher. Best I could get it.

Code: [Select]
trackingCrosshair       "gfx/hud/crosshair_bore_track.png"
lockonCrosshair         "gfx/hud/crosshair_bore_lock.png"
scopeCrosshair          "gfx/hud/crosshair_tekbow_scope.png"
allowTracking           TRUE
maxTrackingDegrees      0.0

Which script controls what spawns in ammo/health drop zones?

I wanna make it so that only 10 health pick ups spawn there.

They are generator actors. In T2 those are just actors like placing a weapon etc except they're 'generators' which could spawn ammo, weapons, and health. You could open the editor and change what's spawning there in the maps. Package them in a levels/kpf and that should replace the maps with your versions.

If you select and right click the generator then go to the kexGeneratorComponent tab you will see this.


singleObjectType # defines what the actor generates.

Health's singleObjectType numbers

#define kActor_Item_Health2             1701
#define kActor_Item_Health10            1702
#define kActor_Item_HealthFull          1703
#define kActor_Item_HealthUltra         1704

You can use the number to make sure you know which generators are health's and use it to change what it generates, that number controls what it will be even if you place a mag60 generator and change it to a different number it will change.. On the actor tab find generatorsPickUps and Health10 should be there for placing new ones if needed.

intervalTime1 means how long it takes to spawn in the first time. 0 would spawn right away the first time.

intervalTime2 means how long it will take to respawn after you pick it up

intervalTime is 15=1 second
Nice, thanks.

I have another question, is there a way to give each weapon it's own crosshair?

Like adding a small line of code in weaponinfo.txt.

Thanks again for these guides. Here's a quick question hopefully someone will know: How do I go about making these green sectors that only block a player if the door they're on is closed or not? Unless I missed something, all I can find changed under their sector properties was 'block player' being checked, but that just makes the sector white and always block. Anyone know how to make it tie itself to the door as well?

If the sector is turning white and always blocking maybe there is a different sector property on it. As BP mentioned the Block property under behavior should turn it green. Well I made a quick guide now on how to do doors feel free to read it over. I will update it and organize more later when I get some time. But it should help out I didn't revise it much. Hope it helps.

The color of the sector depends on what flags are set. You want to turn on "Block" to turn it green. And place the door actor over top the blocked sectors.

I think I just found it out I was messing around with my jump pads trying to make them really fast. I decided to try jumpad time '0' and I ended up with this bug. Jumppad time must have a value of at least 1 lol! Guides updated.

Thanks for the fix! I still got stuck on the jump pad, but that was only once in about 15 tries and only from one side, maybe just a big with the editor.
I also noticed the jump pad ceiling is actually on the ceiling this time, is there a way to set the height of that? The original map's ceiling was pretty low, and it was getting in the way of projectiles. Nevermind, found out it's hold shift while moving the vertex



Actually I think I figured it out. Found out what region I was getting stuck on by turning on "showcollisions"



I don't know why, but the sectors I added had 0 set for everything which I guess somehow stopped movement. You fixed it by redrawing them but missed one region. All I had to do was put the same numbers in that one and now its working fine. Thanks for the help

Edit:
I think my problem was making a new region with selected vertices rather than using the region create mode, which carries over all the region settings. I can add in more jumppads without any problems now

Hmm this is a weird one and I'm going to chalk it up in the category of 'the struggles of editing existing maps' lmao and believe me there are struggles of editing existing maps.

However, I was able to fix it. I actually gave the jump pads ceiling sectors. Guessing- if the sectors surrounding the jump pad have ceiling properties and the jump pad doesn't, it may or may not effect the jump pad... I also deleted the sectors surrounding the jump pad and remade them. It seems fine on my end now give it a test and please let me know if it is resolved. Sorry I can't give a definite answer on what the heck was happening there... I really think it was due to ceiling sectors. Ceiling sectors are connected to the actual vertices. And in this case they were linked to the jumppad.

Gosh I hope I uploaded my edited one lol. Please let me know. Btw that's a crazy ass mod lol! Download of the map is attached.

Thanks for the guides, really helpful.
I'm having a problem with jumppads though. They work fine but there's something that I keep getting stuck on when I run onto the jumppad, almost like I'm getting stuck on the jumppad sector. Any idea why?

I'm fixing up some unfinished n64 maps to put into my dodgeball mod. Escheria has a bunch of ladders (2 of which are missing) that I'm trying to turn into jumppads. This section in particular had a ceiling collision on the sector which ended up getting in the way of the jumppad so I had to remove it. Not sure if that's causing the weird collision, but I've tried a bunch of different angles for these sectors and still can't find what I'm getting stuck on
That sounds odd. My first thought would be a ceiling sector yeah. Another thought without seeing it, is 'Camera Movement Scaler' make sure its set to 1. I also updated the jumppad guide with some additional info (at the bottom of guide) that I didn't go over just yet. Was planning that for a more detailed sector guide but it makes sense to go in there. Try these out. If it still does it, I would be very interested to see the map actually :) And thanks.
Thanks for the info. Does "allow player control" make it possible to move after you hit the jumppad? That'd be pretty useful for multiplayer

I tried the Camera Movement Scaler setting but I'm still getting stuck. You can check out the map here

I'm including my entire mod because I can't actually get the map working with the console, I had to add the map into hubinfo and mapinfo in /defs
