Alas, all hope is lost,

The name of the mod itself should be a nod to the originals but different so you can tell the 3 apart. Remember to keep it simple DXHCARXTRM10 proposers.

Ok, so I tested it ingame and it gives me an error "Can't bind to native class DeusExHardcore.DeusExPlayer", then I tried to rename DeusEx.dll to DeusExHardcore.dll, but it says "Assertion failed: !GAutoRegister [File:D:\prj\Clean\Core\Src\UnObj.cpp] [Line:1322]"

Thought so. Unlike unreal UC packages, dlls explicitly declare the packagename by the unreal native api.. in case of DeusEx, it would look like:

Code: Select all

extern "C" DLL_EXPORT TCHAR GPackage[];
DLL_EXPORT TCHAR GPackage[] = TEXT("DeusEx");

So this required a recompile of the dll or a hax with a hex-editor.
However, this wouldn't solve the problem for Multiplayer, since custom DLLs can't be downloaded

I guess we'll have to see what Nobody can do.

DLLs can't be downloaded

When I was playing UT99, there were some servers with an anti-cheat mod, and it downloaded a dll file too, I remember it asked me to download it, and if I chosen the No, it disconnected
Edit: I FOUND IT!

There's a package called ACEv08h_Cdll, it imported dlls as music:

Code: Select all

#exec new MUSICFACTORY FILE="..\System\ACEv08h_C_NonSSE.dll" name="ACEv08h_C_A"
#exec new MUSICFACTORY FILE="..\System\ACEv08h_C_SSE.dll" name="ACEv08h_C_B"
#exec new MUSICFACTORY FILE="..\System\ACEv08h_C_SSE_SSE2.dll" name="ACEv08h_C_C"
class ACEDummy extends Object;

Meh.. yes I know, THAT way it is possible, but officially, it actually isn't.

Arena 2.

I read many things about DLLs and native coding, and I think this is the problem:
IMPLEMENT_PACKAGE(DeusEx)
Each .cpp file contains this in the DeusEx.dll

[atrey65789]

Ok.. Theres something missing in the DLL File

[bambi]

Hey Andrievskya Veronica maintains this mod for Hejhuka, Veronica!?!? help?!?

[atrey65789]

Part of me says its the DLL, But I am not certain yet.

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

I read many things about DLLs and native coding, and I think this is the problem:
IMPLEMENT_PACKAGE(DeusEx)
Each .cpp file contains this in the DeusEx.dll

You're right. My chunk of code basically represents what the IMPLEMENT_PACKAGE macro does.

Anyway.. how are you in possession of cpp files for DeusEx.dll?

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

*bump*

My curiosity is still present, Kalman!


Edit:
Ok, I exported all classes and compared them to the original DeusEx.u classes..
That's the statistic:
1333 classes alltogether

They are composed of:
457 identical classes
701 modified classes
175 new classes


701 modified classes are a hella lot of work to analyze in order to separate it from DeusEx in a clean way.
I for one don't have time to perform that but what I could try is to cut it down to the differencing native classes only.
That way a separate modification could be compiled that's at least not bound to a DLL file.

[Kalman11]

I found that macro here: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Native_Coding

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Yeah, I know about the macro, I was just perplex, when you said
"Each .cpp file contains this in the DeusEx.dll"

Since the cpp files were never published, I was wondering where you got that information from.


PS: DXHCMP update.. on my above post.

[Kalman11]

I'm not sure lol

If I understand correctly, each cpp file must contain this
BUT I'M NOT SURE, AND I'M NOOB FOR C++ LOL

[Marder]

Might seem like a stupid question, but us apes here are trying to figure why you guys are doing this.

I mean, doesn't Arena work? It worked fine in 2006, it was very influential in getting me into DXMP. I miss it a lot and would love to see the bots available on newer maps.

[bambi]

Yea, there's Arena and then there's Hardcore.

Arena is like a retarded half brother of Hardcore.

Hardcore is much better all around, different huds, weapons, gameplay, overall a much better gameplay.

And its never been hosted with people playing in it. Download the mod, and try it, its awesome

[atrey65789]

A few days ago, there was a server, that was kinda tryna be like hardcore... It had liek 20 bots, and the weapons were from the mod.

[Kalman11]

Hardcore Arena mod? I saw that, looks nice, but it has only IP instead of name, and it was laggin

[atrey65789]

Yeah laggin bad. it seemed buggy too

[Kalman11]

Ye, it's buggy, bot's firing speed is a bit high

[bambi]

lol yea that was my server.

[atrey65789]

Well... it was kinda buggy bud lol did you use hardcore mod on that?

[evilfish]

Hey has anyone figured out how to make this or at least the weapons included independent yet?
Really need the throwing nanosword for a mod im making LOL

[atrey65789]

Yeah, wait.... you need one weapon from a package?

[Kalman11]

If you are making a mod, then you can make that weapon too
I think it's not hard to make it, u need to set only a projectile under Shuriken and a weapon under WeaponShuriken

[James]

Bump. What's going on?

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

The conflicting native classes are currently being decoupled from the native code.
This is done by extending the former DXHCMP native classes from the original native classes, followed by stripping the code, so only the essencial changes remain.
This is literally a line-by-line thing.
