Need some QuakeC Help

[hawkins83]

Ok i am making a counter strike mod from the tutorials. I got all 4 of them to work. How do i bind the flip, salute, and stuff frames to a button?

Not sure which tuts you're talking about, but here's the theory.

send two stuffcmds for each button.
alias +salute "impulse 50"
alias -salute "impulse 51"

A user can then:
bind space +salute

when pressed, 50 will trigger, when released, 51 will trigger.
It is possible that these impulses will never arrive, or will be duplicated (keyboard repeat).

The keyboard input executes the binds when pressed. On release, if the bind contains a single command/name starting with a +, then it executes the command with a - instead of that plus. Works for anything, commands, aliases... and cvars if you're crazy. Note that it also adds an extra parameter relating to which button/keycode is pressed to trigger it.


Alternativly you can depend on extensions, and send:
alias +salute +button3
alias -salute -button3
and in the code:
.float button3;
void() somefunc =
{
if (self.button3)
sprint(self, "Hey, stop saluting\n");
};
This method is more reliable, assuming the client and server both support this feature.
DarkPlaces and FTE support this feature. A few others no-doubt do but I can't name those reliably.
You don't have to do the alias thing, but it might help make people's configs make more sense.

Ok thanks, one more problem i added alot more stuff and i get this error, i can get you the code but maybe you guys could tell me what i have 2 do without looking at it. And can someone tell me how to bind a sound to a key and have it only be heard on your team not global.

[FrikaC]

Those are the prototypes. Where are they actually defined? Surely the tutorial explains (/me doesn't want to look at it, butr will if he must)

[hawkins83]

Never mind it works. I need a good free photo editor for pcx files now

[scar3crow]

GIMP is free iirc, just google it, should be on sourceforge or similar.

[hawkins83]

Yea i got gimp, but when i convert it to a .lmp the color is fucked up

[hawkins83]

I want to make a VIP gamemode, like in Americas Army.
I was thinking i could base the code of this, http://minion.planetquake.gamespy.com// ... /radio.htm. So the first person that joins the server becomes the vip and the escort team has to get the vip to a certain spot on the map.

[scar3crow]

regarding the lmp color, sounds like you might be in need of Fimg, Frik's image editor which is apparently very useful for modders of Quake. http://qexpo.quakedev.com/uploaded/8/fimg_v017.zip

[xaGe]

That's an under statement! It has came in handy many times for me specially working on The Ascension of Vigil... I used it to convert the high-res png's I made into quake compatible sprites... Fimg! can covert .lmp's & .spr's into many other image formats & visa versa...

ya and after trying to make simple icons to replace the regular .bsp items i gave up trying to find a sprite editor worthy of the effort for quake, and now i find it!
