Making a Map Freeze-Tag Ready

mffpetergriffin · Post by **mffpetergriffin** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 3:05 am

I am trying to figure out on my own how to make a map ready for freeze-tag. I have looked all over the MEFY site and none of the links work for any examples. Our servers are all freeze-tag and I want to figure out for myself how to get my map capable for freeze-tag. Can someone give me an example or point me in the right direction to do this? I have a src for my map but I have done very little scripting other than the loadscreen so I will need it in noob terms lol. Thanks a lot!

I don't think there is anything you need to do. Any map that runs in team match should be FT-ready by definition.

You can download mefy's mod and look how he setup his maps.

Look at the code before level prespawn

Code: Select all

switch (waitthread global/libmef/util.scr::get_gametype)
	{
		case "ctf":
		case "ftctf":
		case "dem":
		case "ftdem":
                  level.mef_settings["respawn"] = 1
			level.mef_settings["ticktime"] = 60
			waitthread global/libmef/spawn.scr::spawnblock_begin
			waitthread setup_bases
			break
		case "ft":
		case "rbm":
			//waitthread global/libmef/spawn.scr::spawnblock_begin
			thread roundbasedthread
			break
	}

Oh, well, I guess I forgot about actually running the mod.

Is there a way to read src files?

Notepad and Wordpad will do.

When I try to open them I get an error saying something about it's not a recognized extension or some dumb thing. I can't open with any program. What am I doing wrong?

right click on your script, select open with, check the " always open with then select your program from list ( notepad will do just fine )

I will try again but in the past it has not given me the Open With option. hmm

another way is just double-click on .scr, it will tell you not recognized blah blah, choose program from list and select notepad.

Okay, when I click on it it says it's not a win32 blah blah blah. However, when I open it through Notepad (going into Notepad, going to File, Open...) it opens right up. I just can't do it without going into Notepad first. Weird! Anyway, I have defeated its defenses!!

i usually just rename it to a .txt ext then open with notepad.....this is also how i edit it...then just rename back to .scr and all is good

You're doing it the wrong way, windows will refuse to open .scr files that way because in window's eyes scr files are screensaver files (in other words executables) He considers them anything but safe.

Follow my steps carefully:

1. Open any folder
2. At the top, click "Tools" and choose "folder options" in the list. A new window pops up
3. Go to the "file type" tab, wait a sec to let him load the list.
4. Now click "new", in the textbox, enter SCR and click ok.
5. Now your new filetype's at the top of the list (normally), select it.
6. Click Change, you'll get a new window asking to search a compatible program on the net or letting you choose one out of list. Choose the latter one.
7. Select wordpad in the list, click ok (that window closes), then in the remaining window click ok again

DONE!

EDIT: Damnit just found out you bumped a months-old topic!!!
