.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

jv_map wrote:Woohoo no more messing with TIKIs

I found an easier way which seems to work on both client and server directly from the map script.

Here's how I did it (put this above level waittill spawn):

Code: Select all

local.master = spawn ScriptMaster
local.master aliascache soundalias wavfile soundparms numbers channel loaded maps "mapname"
local.master remove

You can add a great number of aliases this way .

If there is a demand for it I can probably make a global script for it.

Yes can you create a global for those like my self that have no clue what all this means and guess working like no tomorrow LOL.

yeah i didnt make a global file, im just gonna make a unique one for each map named "mapname_soundcache" and ill just exec it from the main script.

Let me have it so I can use it as a learning tool. BTW,, I would like to learn more about this scripting stuff. Anything you can suggess?

Thanks.

uhh you can look at some user made maps and see look for all the common stuff you see in the scripts. i wouldnt recommend looking in the main game scripts because there all super-long and messy. my soundcache script isnt finished though i only did about 6 sounds but ill pm it to you. http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/ had a great tutorial that explains the basics of scripting.

Aloha,

Just tested jv's tip, it works like a charm, but... it keeps crashing the server

I declared 14 customs sounds using mp3's, and when you restarted the map (console restart or one team wins, so restart), the game server crashed, both Windows server (@ home), and leased Linux server.

I first tried to put the aliases declarations in the XXXX_precache.scr file, didn't work.
I finally removed the last line:
local.master remove
and now the server does not crash anymore.
How weird is that ?

Valoche

Hmm interesting

I didn't have any 'restart problems' myself, but if you say so....

Thanks for the info btw

Okay,

I've tested a little more, now I have an exact test case which you can reproduce as you will:
Create ANY map with the following precache script. You do not need to fix the paths whatsoever
Launch a game (objective in my case, so g_gametype 4), restart the map, and voil?: server crash

If you comment the local.master remove line, you can do as many restarts as you want. You can even be a serial restarter

So the final fix for "the ubersound workaround from magnificient jv_map"(c)(tm) is: remove that stupid line

Valoche

Yeah I guess. However, the lines weren't intended to be placed in the precache script but in the regular map script instead. That might explain the crash.

Moreover I think 'maps' should only say "obj".

But well, I don't know, I don't know if the remove line has any memory saving use either

Merci for your research

To place the lines in the precache or in the script does not change anything.
I placed them in the precache while I was trying to figure out what happened. It's the same sh*t if you place them in the main script.
I just left them in the precache because it's more consistent IMHO.

And it *does* apply to every gamestyle (I just tested it).

De rien mon ami, it was a pleasure

cant you just hide the scriptmaster so it isnt sent to the clients?

So in obj maps its "mapname" = "obj" ?

I am trying it out today.

My scr file looks like this so far. Would you do a standard "necissary for bots" alias list please.

Thanks for everything your a champion.

Looks good, but make sure the remove line isn't making troubles.

The bots don't require any new aliases, all bot sounds (except bash sounds) are automatically loaded for mp maps

Should I do without it? is it any use? I did have a little crash one time but not shure if its related.

Honestly I don't know
