Deus Ex Alpha

Is there a way to make a class that has the same effect as alcohol, except with a different texture to the standard DrunkFX?

Use DEED to extract the texture files, and build your own class with desired effects, but make sure it points to a new .utx file you've made.

E.G.
You wanted to replace DrunkFX with Biocell effect tex, you'd extract all utx files from original, substitue DrunkFX for favourite tex, rebuild using a unique, memorable name, then replace DrunkFX with the texture of your choice (the one you added to your new class).

I'm shite at explaining this sorta thing, try http://tack.planetdeusex.gamespy.com <---- Tack's lab.

Also, for DEED: http://deusexextractor.at.tut.by/download.html

I've got no problems with the textures, I just don't know how to get it right coding wise as the Drunk effect appears to be part of DeusExPlayer and I don't know how to make my own.

Nevermind, got it sorted.

Whatcha doing Kyle?

Making an LSD mod

Nice.

Mmm... LSD mod and some colour LAMs from stargate mod....

Hit a bit of an impasse ;_;

How so.

I cannae get it to work

Ah.. so you want to make the new player class for the drug effect thing...

Well.. I could suggest a mega hack, that would do the same without a newplayer class..

A mega hack you say?

Simulated function?

Tried using the DeusExPlayer class and editing the coding instead of creating a subclass, however it will not compile and I get the error message "Error, Type mismatch in '=', Line 11939"

Line 11939 contains the following code (Which I haven't done anything to or edited in the slightest);

Code: Select all

   PlayerTracker.AttachedPlayer = Self;

Any ideas?

wut, are you compiling DeusExPlayer again?


Well, that would be.... much harder....



you can just subclass, why do you need to change the code?

The subclass isn't working and I'm a desperate man

Open with notepad, probably first open UeD, find the texture they use, press CTRL+F in the Notepad where the code is, and then copy the line or the whole function and add it to your subclass one.


Probably I can find and post it here, but later, me busy -_-

This is what the subclass code looks like;

Code: Select all

//=============================================================================
// AcidPlayer.
//=============================================================================
class AcidPlayer extends DeusExPlayer;

#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=AcidTextures

// acid effects on the player
var float AcidEffectTimer;

simulated function AcidEffects(float deltaTime)
{
   local float mult, fov;
   local Rotator rot;
   local DeusExRootWindow root;

   root = DeusExRootWindow(rootWindow);

   // random wandering and swaying when drugged
   if (AcidEffectTimer > 0)
   {
      if ((root != None) && (root.hud != None))
      {
         if (root.hud.background == None)
         {
            root.hud.SetBackground(Texture'AcidTextures.Effects.Acid');
            root.hud.SetBackgroundSmoothing(True);
            root.hud.SetBackgroundStretching(True);
            root.hud.SetBackgroundStyle(DSTY_Modulated);
         }
      }

      mult = FClamp(AcidEffectTimer / 10.0, 0.0, 3.0);
      rot.Pitch = 1024.0 * Cos(Level.TimeSeconds * mult) * deltaTime * mult;
      rot.Yaw = 1024.0 * Sin(Level.TimeSeconds * mult) * deltaTime * mult;
      rot.Roll = 0;

      rot.Pitch = FClamp(rot.Pitch, -4096, 4096);
      rot.Yaw = FClamp(rot.Yaw, -4096, 4096);

      ViewRotation += rot;

      if ( Level.NetMode == NM_Standalone )
      {
         fov = Default.DesiredFOV - AcidEffectTimer + Rand(2);
         fov = FClamp(fov, 30, Default.DesiredFOV);
         DesiredFOV = fov;
      }
      else
         DesiredFOV = Default.DesiredFOV;

      AcidEffectTimer -= deltaTime;
      if (AcidEffectTimer < 0)
         AcidEffectTimer = 0;
   }
   else
   {
      if ((root != None) && (root.hud != None))
      {
         if (root.hud.background != None)
         {
            root.hud.SetBackground(None);
            root.hud.SetBackgroundStyle(DSTY_Normal);
            DesiredFOV = Default.DesiredFOV;
         }
      }
   }
}

Extend to Human or JCDentonMale.


DeusExPlayer is messy, Human/JCDentonmale has all of the anim list, that's most of the mistakes some people do, you need to extend to Human.



And do it like this:-


class AcidPlayer extends Human
abstract
Config(User);





And then make other classes, like AcidJCDenton, and then add your code there, only thing you have to do is--


class AcidJCDenton extends AcidPlayer
abstract
Config(User);



AND UR CODE.



EDIT:


FIRSTLY, Back-up DeusEx.ini, User.ini


Now read below:



To get it working in MP..


You have to do lots of stuff.


Here, download the file, paste those in your classes folder.



And here's what you have to do.



Remove MTL, completly, if you have it.


remove from ServerPackages, and then delete/move all of the files somewhere else, including the INT, INI, etc etc, and then open your DeusEx.INI

and then on the top, you can see the MTL player thingie..


change it to:-

Class=YourMod.ACJCDenton




And then find...


[Engine.Engine]


change

DefaultGame=DXMTL152b.something
DefaultServerGame=DXMTL152b.something

to


DefaultGame=YourMod.ACGameInfo
DefaultServerGame=YourMod.ACDeathMatch



After that, open User.ini, at the top, change:

Class=DXMTL152b.MTLNSF

to

Class=YourMod.ACNSF




And now just host your DeathMatch game!

So you're saying the code which extends Human should consist of

Code: Select all

class AcidPlayer extends Human
abstract
Config(User);

?

Read my post again, I've updated.

Yeah I did all that before, I can't remember what went wrong but it didn't work for some reason. That might've been before I had a gametype so I'll try the whole ordeal again.

You should, you can't just replace your player only, becase DXMTL gametype has something in there defaultproperties saying:


DefaultPlayer=MTLPlayer



sumthing liek that, so ye, in default gametype, it says JCDentonmale, you have no choices left rather than making a new gametpye :p

Also, the .rar doesn't contain ACPlayer

I'm guessing I won't be able to host this?

No, ACPlayer? wut?


If it's some error, do it AcidPlayer, take your own player instead of it.

ACUnatco is supposed to extend ACPlayer, but no such file exists

Oh, sorry, lol.

Do it AcidPlayer..


I forgot to replace.. :$



EDIT:



And your AcidPlayer SHOULD be extended in Human.


EDIT2:


Also, liek, I've added you in MSN, dan_wicked@hotmail.com is me, accept pl0x. :$

You mean do it exactly as you said, 'cept with AcidPlayer instead of ACPlayer, or just carry on with what I was doing originally?

I'll accept you next time I'm on
