.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I searched on your site and TMT forums, but I couldn't find anything, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, but does anyone know how to toggle a server-side mod on and off from the console? Somebody said something about cvars, but they didn't explain it very throughly(i'm kind of a newb) If you can help me, can you show me what to edit and how? Or if you can't, direct me to someone else or give me a link to a tutorial.

*EDIT* I know how to program in visual basic, if this helps anyone to explain the stuff to me.

What kind of mod are you talking about exactly?

I'm trying to create a gravity/moon jump type mod. It uses mike_legs.st in global and I also need to change the sv_runspeed and sv_gravity and place them into a mod. I'm new to this but I know how to script a little

Here, let me clarify. I need to be able to toggle(from the console) a .cfg file and a .pk3 file containing an altered mike_legs.st on/off. Or if theres an easier way to toggle them on and off, let me know

Here you go

Simply create two mike_legs and torso state files, for example:

mike_legs.st
mike_torso.st
alternate_legs.st
alternate_torso.st

The alternate_torso.st file is required even if you didn't change anything to this file. In that case, just copy the mike_torso.st file.

In your script, make a thread like this:
With this addition, you should be able to switch through the state file used by simply typing lite_alternate 1 or 0 in console. I made the script automatically issue a map restart, though that may not be necessary.

I'm a noob to this, but which .scr file do I place it in? Cause I tried placing it into mohdm2.scr and typed lite_alternate 1, and it didn't work...Also, thanks for the comments, it helped explain a little of the code The tutorial on the site is also very helpful

Hmm putting it in mohdm2.scr is supposed to be fine...

Did you get any error messages in the console? (make sure to scroll up until 'adding script dm/mohdm2.scr')

I typed "lite_alternate 1" and I didn't get any error or message. It just acted as though I didn't type anything in...

Here's the logfile : Here

Heres mohdm2.scr:

}

}
end


And This is the part I changed of alternate_legs.st(I didn't do anything to alternate_torso):

state JUMP_STANDING
{
entrycommands
{
movementstealth "0.3"
moveposflags "crouching"
// modheight "duck"
modheight "jumpstart"
commanddelay 0.01 jump 1500
}


// and this also:

state JUMP_FORWARD_RUN
{
entrycommands
{
movementstealth "0.2"
moveposflags "crouching" "running"
// modheight "duck"
modheight "jumpstart"
commanddelay 0.01 jump 1500
}

well if its server side couldnt u just use a regular cfg?
im a littel rusty on cfgs, havent made a shark script in a while, ill find one somewhere, but for right now, my idea is make a cfg, like"mike.cfg" and put it in ur main folder. in console type "exec mike.cfg" and "unexec mike.cfg" when ur done.

wtf is this?

// Can specify different scoreboard messages for round based <a href="http://go-advertising.com?go=<a href="http://get-certified.net?go=games" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: games';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">games</a>" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: <a href="http://get-certified.net?go=games" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: games';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">games</a>';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''"><a href="http://go-all.com?go=games" onmouseover="window.status = 'goto: games';return 1" onmouseout="window.status=''">games</a></a> here.



Anyway... the link to your logfile doesn't seem to work

Omniscient's idea might be a good one, but I fear mohaa will not take the setting for g_statefile from a config file.

Heres the link to the logfile, got kind of screwed up :/

http://adam.soul-e-art.com/qconsole.log

Anyway, I hope theres someone who can help figure out why it's not working. Could we possibly have to name the actual alternate mike files in the script instead of saying:

setcvar g_statefile "global/alternate"
map (getcvar mapname) // restart map

I'm trying to understand this script but maybe you cuold change this to include the '_legs.st'/'_torso.st'... :/

Adding "_legs.st" ought not to be necessary...

I couldn't find anything too interesting in the log .

Best is I think to add some println commands to cehck if the script is 'responding' to the console input at all.

How would I do this? Is there a possibility you could test it on your computer?

Also, is there anyway someone could create a set of jv_bots for each stock map? Or would it require too much ai?

mohaa wil take any console command from a cfg file, the only thing is when ur doing movement, like forcing someone to move forward, just have to tell it to stop, and also u need waits in-between everyhting which kinda gets annoying.

This is what I did to see if the game was even noticing the thing:

Mohdm2.scr:

// DESTROYED VILLAGE
// ARCHITECTURE: NED
// SCRIPTING: NED

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Destroyed Village"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" "Destroyed Village"
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "mohdm2"

// call additional stuff for playing this map round based is needed
if(level.roundbased)
thread roundbasedthread

level waittill prespawn

end

{

println local.alternate
if(local.alternate != local.current)

setcvar lite_alternate local.alternate
if(local.alternate)
{
setcvar g_statefile "global/alternate"
map (getcvar mapname) // restart map
set dmflags "8"
set sv_gravity "250"
set sv_runspeed "800"
}
else
{
setcvar g_statefile "global/mike"
map (getcvar mapname) // restart map
}
local.current = local.alternate
}
waitframe // check every frame
}
end

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

level.dmrespawning = 0 // 1 or 0
level.dmroundlimit = 5 // round time limit in minutes
level.clockside = kills // set to axis, allies, kills, or draw

end

dv_mod.scr:

main:

local.current = int(getcvar (lite_alternate))
while(1)
{
local.alternate = int(getcvar (lite_alternate))
println "seperate"
if(local.alternate != local.current)

end

When I tried this, absolutely nothing happens...
