Hey, just thought I should ask, cos I'm stuck with this problem... I'm using sin and cos to keep the gun away from the camera, but when I tilt the camera up and down, I can't seem to manage to get the gun to move up and down correctly... I thought this place would be appropriate to ask.. any help?

thanks

I have a script for you, I will just improve it and then I will post it. Also, is the thing really going to be fully open sourced to the public?

Hey hamish,

Have you gotten the killing to work yet?. Because i was taking a look at it and took upon the challenge to add it in. so i did and also added a score menu(like counter strike or so where you press the TAB botton) and was also able to add on the score menu all the players name,Score, Kills, Deaths and also even there ping. I added simple health in the game to be able to kill each other i belive i also change some stuff around to meet my needs. Post on here and say if you want to take a look at it or a screenshot or whatever, im happy to conribute to this project seening the great progress and cooraperation the community is doing.

cheers

@Megaton, Think i should make a 1st person and a 3rd person model? 1st would be the high poly (1200) and 3rd person (the gun you see on the other guy) maybe 500/700. What do you think guys?

@Alkaline, Wow thats alot of work, could you show us a screen of the menu please? Good Work

EDIT: Hamish heres the barrel, i eddited out somthings and i belive ive fixed it.

Megaton - Yeah, as Prof says, we will have a 3rd person model also. Should be easy enough to just reduce the poly count on the 1st person weapons after they have been fully done. Also, I appreciate that some of the polys on weapons may not even be visible in 3rd person mode (eg. inside the end of the barrel), but it's best to leave deleting them until right at the end.

Zotoaster - I am using a dummy object with a limb attached to it to control weapons. It takes the trig stuff out completely. All I have to do is position and rotate the object relative to the camera and all is well . Here is an example I posted on the codebase ages ago..

http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view&i=1c1cc9f073a4724e51d7280176bcaf8e

Gamedev - Yes it will be, correction, it is. Download the latest release of code here. It is available file by file, or in one big rar file. I should organize the front page again so people can see this kind of thing.

http://www.changi.f9.co.uk/BlackoutCodeFiles

Alkaline - Sweet . Sounds like just the kind of help I need . Please send me, or post up the code files you have changed/added, with details of what parts you have changed so I can integrate your changes with the current code. When you say you have implimented killing, do you mean the players are damaged when shot, or just there is the ability for players to be damaged, and hence die. Either way is good, just I will obviously need to know what is going on in order to merge the two sources.

Professor - Cheers, I'll check it next week.

Also, I forgot to upload the media, I'll do that next week also.

I will be away this weekend, so no response from me until Monday. Cheers.

ok give me a few to change some stuff and add some remarks... ill upload a .exe and everything with files and such because i changed some stuff around...also i added a water .fx to it because i was getting tired of looking at that transparent plain. also hamish i added killing, you can die. but like i said its simple. nomatter what gun you shoot with you always loose 5 health. When i said you could see the amout of kills i didnt mean to put that because that was a bit tricky for a simple thing i wanted to do. so the kills isnt there. but ok give me a few and ill change and upload it to my website so you can download from.

You were supposed to type something into the console to go enter a multiplayer game in first-person mode I think.

Forgot what though. Ask Hamish.

@ Wigget
type "joingame" without quotes in the console to walk around. for multiplauer its a bit more in dept so read the readme.

@Gamedev
You need tempest and newton, newton is included and since tempest will be a comercial dll benjemin happly allowed BO to use an older version of tempest. search back a few pages your find all the need dlls/keywords.

@Skalex
All i know of is that you can play cashbah, never tried any of the others.

@Big Man
thanks but i can only take credit for this recent update, all other is work of hamish and the other coders

only significant console commands

I'm back, and will try to remark on the masses of posts there seem to have been made over the weekend :S.

Megaton - Wrong kind of barrel . Gun barrel is what I was talking about.

Alkaline - I have downloaded the code, and it seems to work . There is a lot of slowdown for me when two people are in the same game, so I'll have to look into what is causing that. The changes are not really in the format that the rest of the code is in, so I will get to work on rewriting your changes to fit in.

Wigget - Glad you like it . I'm surprised you hadn't tried it sooner .

Skalex - DBPro doesn't have such a command. At least not to my knowledge. And the levels will load so long as you have the correct objects. ANY levels at all would be great, there is no theme to this game, the only guideline I would give is that the level should be fun to play .

Big Man - Cheers.

Gamedev - Any help modelling, uv wrapping or texturing any models would be of great help . Weapons, levels, characters, objects, anything is welcome.

I will start to upload all the media I have onto the file front account, so people will be able to access it freely.

EDIT

Just realised that I have to send Mm0zct the files to upload. Maybe I'll upload them to my webspace, and then he can upload them to the filefront.

Sorry, confusing you with mm0zct . Don't know why, maybe because he was working on the website :S.

Here is a link to all the media I have on my PC. If anyone has any I have missed, please upload them. I haven't uploaded the m4 model as I am just finishing UV mapping it (I made that barrel end bit myself Professor, I'm not sure you got what I meant), and also I will remove the hand bits from DarkCoder's p90 and usp, and then upload them.

Evil stick - It would be great if you could upload the media as it is arranged in the rar file. That way people can download individual bits of media as they want. It'd be good if you could create the directories even if there aren't any files in them at the moment. Post when you have downloaded the media sucessfully, so I can remove it from the webspace (limited bandwidth).

Learn how to program. My thought is that your code obviously doesn't move the weapon back after it's moved up. Seriously though, there isn't some generic solution for weapon recoil that you should know, just think about it yourself and you'll eventually develop the generic techniques you need for all programming situations. If you really are stuck, I suggest posting for help on the main DBPro/DBC board. Make sure you supply the snippet(s) of code that handles your weapon recoil though.

p.s. This project doesn't have recoil coded in, it relies on pre-made animations in the model file.

A good way of making a gun recoil is using variables to offset the main limb. If that hint isn't enough then e-mailme and I can help a bit more. andrew neale 2004 @ yahoo . com (take out the spaces.)

admiral were u working on that multiplayer game with teh space ships and the jet pack dudes? that was an awesome game, anyway yeah most games use pre-done animations for recoil effects, unless you're talking about looking at someone firing and recoiling, but even still thats an animation.

Heh, Prof that would be more than doable . In fact, with the current object system the log trap may even be able to be added without any changes to the code (although they wouldn't do any damage to the players). One problem with the trapdoor idea is the syncronisation across the network. I can't really think of a solution right now, but it will be a big problem for all the physics.

@Big Man, Maybe, but theres always figuring out who did this or who did that, Plus then you have pleaple that never stayed on for a long time, they would want to be paid also, I gues if you wanted to make a game to be sold it would have to be with under ten peaple, And if you where going to pay them it would be somthing like, $7 a model or $10 a song or $5 a texture, you realy cant pay them by the hour.. "Oh yeah hamish i did 25 hours today..." Hamish: "?25?...." think if you sold the game for $50 that would be $10 a peice, And just look at our team list on the site. Just a few of the problems with it. So im pretty sure we wont sell it..

P.S Sorry hamish, didnt mean to answer for you .

@Big Man, Im not trying to shoot down your idea, your write if we did sell it the game may make some money, but its just paying all of the team members
