I have convert Foy

http://bob.planetmedalofhonor.gamespy.com/foyspdemo.php

to multiplayer and i will add bot to it.

I try to remove by script all the barbwire and also crates near the church,

but there is no targetname or classname to remove them

I need a good mapper to help me out ?

thanks

I'm afraid you can't remove them.

Yah me too

static objects are actually compiled into the map and are not even entities, so they can't possibly have a targetname

Actually, they are entities and they can be given a targetname.

I remember using a static Tiger tank model as a bombable map objective.

And they can be removed by entnums, and entnums can be discovered by using sv_showentnums (cheats must be enabled for this). There is no way of removing brushes, though. Well, maybe hexediting, but it'd be EXTREMELY tricky.

Surely your tiger wasn't a script_model?

Yeah, that's the fun, I'm sure it wasn't a script_model, but a static one!

Ooops, I stand corrected.

Just did a search for my old posts and found you were right:

you must have been 13 or 14 then, easily excitable

my first posts were the same way... OMG i was a kid when i came here...

however prox doesnt have the .map file for it, so it truly is impossible unless you hexedit it, which would be nothing short of a miracle.

i made a file barbwireremove.scr

main:
local.mapname = getcvar "mapname"
if(local.mapname == "dm/test_BoB_Foy" ) //<--- example map name
{
//remove barbed wire
self notsolid
self remove
self scale 0.0000001 // or just 0
}
end

I copy and change the original barbwires tik files

and add this on top of those tik :

init
{
server
{
exec barbwireremove.scr
}
}

then i put them with the same path (models/satic/barbwire.tik) in my pk3

I was able to remove the barbwire visually, but i can not pass true it something blok te way. If i find wat's it

perhaps i can remove it

targetname barbwire_clip..........?

targetname barbwire_collision.......?

Post by **Rookie One.pl** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 2:12 pm

Nope, Neil.

That's about all you can do, Proximo, what's blocking the way is a clip brush, which you can't remove.

Notice that for all the static models (pak0.pk3/models/static/*.tik) there is a corresponding .map file containing the clip brushes for the model, which gets baked into the BSP at compile time. No workarounds for this, m8.

ok thanks

i don't think Pennybags (the maker of foy) will finish is map to multiplayer. I will ask him to send me the .map file

so that somebody can removed those barbwires

I realy like to have it and bring back to life those nice BoB mods, with bots of course
