Use the same .bsp for OBJ and DM?

Post by **Bjarne BZR** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 2:49 pm

I've re-worked the .scr file for obj/vemork_factory_small into a DM version by scripting away all objectives ( exploderchunk's, explodersmashed's, exploderfire's, models and triggers ).

Now I wonder if it is possible to ship a .pk3 with both the maps/dm/vemork_factory_small.scr AND the maps/obj/vemork_factory_small.scr with out also shipping two identical maps/dm/vemork_factory_small.bsp AND maps/obj/vemork_factory_small.bsp

It would feel better to just add a 5kb script and skip the two identical .bsp files...

Yes, one obj folder and one dm folder, or maybe try to rename one to "vemork_factory_small_dm", but if you're using the old obj map, chances are that someone may see the explosive.

Maby I was unclear:

I have 2 separate .scr files: maps/dm/vemork_factory_small.scr AND the maps/obj/vemork_factory_small.scr

They both work on the original objective .bsp file ( the DM version .scr scripts the objectives out of existence ).

I dont want to make two separate .pk3:s
and
I dont want 2 identical .bsp files in one .pk3 ( one original and one in another directory or renamed )

I DO want: the .pk3 to contain the two .scr files and ONE .bsp file. And with only this .pk3 in the main directory, be able to play both the OBJ and the DM versions.

Should be able to, maybe just rename one to _dm/_obj just in case.

Hmm maybe you could make some kind of 'dummy bsp' (one in the dm and one in the obj folder) and make the script file switch maps to your real bsp.

Inconvenient though

Well, that sounds like a possible way to acieve what I want.... if it CAN be done by scripting that is... can it?

Maybe the script thing could work but basically YES, you should have one bsp and scr in the dm folder and one in the obj folder (even if they are the same).

Without a bsp in the folders the map won't turn up when you select the game type!

Transitions to the next BSP. Keeps player data, and game data.

Never tried it.
