How do i add new weapons and ammo?

[Shambler234]

if you want more than one weapon, I personally favour no longer using .items or even .weapon for weapons. use some other fields and update these two system fields as required for correct/appropriate hud display each time you change your current weapon.
you can get 23 different weapons that way before things get vile again.

What should i use for multiple weapons as a field.

Goldenboy Spike and Seven thankyou all for your posts i think you have given enuf info that we should be able to get the job done. thankyou for taking the time to brake this down for us. Shambler234 we are in good hands.

Hello Josh,

Beeing also a great fan of fantasy/medieval ambience/games, your crossbow caught my interest.

The crossbow from Drake mod, that you want to use, is "borrowed" from Hexen 2 game (like many other models from Drake).
I justed wanted to say that there is also a High Res replacement skin available for this weapons v_model.
Jeank made it.
Because you said you like to use replacement things...

Especially when you want to use an engine with realtime lighting combined with offsetmapping (like DP or FTE) these kind of replacement skins multiply/amplify the visual a lot.
It is hard to catch the effect in a screenshot.

Anyhow, here are some comparisms (with/without replacement skin on v_model):

Good luck with your new weapon,

first to learn qc you need read qc code and second, you can steal qc for your work!! i mixed stealth mod plus some ripped weapons from paranoia to get this horrible mod

if you are useing IT2 you can start over with the numbers. i hope you were able to find that.

i have not had too much time to open my qc in the last few day too much RL going on but its all been good stuff. hopefully i will get some time and i can work a little bit on this. Tuesday and Thursday are my best days to play with qc so im a little slow on getting this done.

Thank Seven for the skin idea i will use that. i think i need to play hexen. i enjoy drak so much and it seems a lot of that mod is used in that game.

nahuel you always have cool mods, i cant wate to shoot that gun from the wast mod. and im glad im not the only one who gets the rainbow diamond from missing models.

I finally made a weapon, not the weapon i wanted but i made it as an example which is an Super Automatic Shotgun, it fires simultaneously.


Except for one problem, if i fire it too much it would crash the game.

CHANGE THE .7 TO .1 AND IT WILL FIRE FAST!

This is just what i may try i have not tryed it but maybe it will you or help you find out something else that will work.

i hate when i mess up and crash darkplaces last night i hit a all time best for me and crashed the qc compiler. lol

[Shambler234]

I already tried that.

Technicly, you ought to be able to add thousands of weapons using that binary counting float system.

Just go back and add any 2 of those floats together for example:

IT_NEWWEAPON1 = IT_SHOTGUN | IT_SUPER_SHOTGUN;

IT_NEWWEAPON2 = IT_SHOTGUN | IT_SUPER_NAILGUN;

IT_NEWWEAPON3 = IT_SHOTGUN | IT_GRENADE_LAUNCHER;

...and so fourth. If you get to the end of the standard quake weapon list , start with the next one and Dont duplicate previous combinations in reverse: IE:

IT_NEWWEAPON4 = IT_SUPER_SHOTGUN | IT_SUPER_NAILGUN;

IT_NEWWEAPON5 = IT_SUPER_SHOTGUN | IT_GRENADE_LAUNCHER;


...But I think what Spike says about messing up the HUD , may or may not apply here...not sure. I guess if its already defined as an item somewhere else, it would cause confusion. However these are completely new floats counting in-between the standard ID suppliued binary counting floats they supplied in the code, so if Carmak was coding clean - and I think he does, these ought to also work as described.

UPDATE: As I thought about it more later, this could be a problem because those new floats will also be representing the other weapons as well. So if there is a line of code that says:

if (self.weapon & IT_NEWWEAPON2)

And you have either the shotgun or super nailgun, that would come up as TRUE. You would have to change the (&) sign to (==) to definately check specificly for the new weap.

humm i dont know what to tell you everything you posted is the same as 1.06 source... i did try the code i posted overtop my shotgun and had no issue. i did run out of shells fast! and everything gibed just fine... wish i could be more help.

[Cobalt]

You created an runaway loop:


void() W_FireAutoShotgun =
{
local vector dir;

if (self.currentammo == 20)
{
W_FireAutoShotgun (); // << HERE
return;
}


Once it hits 20, it repeats the void () over and over until the stack overflows.

It didn't work.
