Zombie HORDE - BETA 28 (page 16) - Fix1 (05/01/15)

@Xsnake:
The Epidemic achievement is bugged again:
-video-

I'm about 99% sure this is the cause of smooth weapons. No idea why this is, but if I remember correctly I saw this many times before in the past while using smooth weapons.

Edit: I believe preventive infection also plays a role here since I happen to get that from random infects aswell.

[Vincent(PDP)]

Then we should not use smooth weapons.

I found the problem. When the smooth weapons sniper is deselected it calls this:

Code: Select all

SNIP A 0 ACS_Execute(800,0,1,0,0)

And when it zooms in it calls this:

Code: Select all

SNIP A 0 ACS_Execute(800,0,0,0,0)

Script 800 is the script to give you achievements, and 0 is the ID of Epidemic:

Code: Select all

// For server sided achievements
Script 800 (int who, int achievement_number)

...

SNIP A 0 ACS_Execute(800,0,0 <-- Epidemic,0,0)

This needs to be fixed immediately!

[Xsnake]

Issue solved, thanks for the quick report.

Thanks! :)
Are you the creator of Smooth Weapons, Xsnake?

why sniper was calling script 800, was the archievment script in other slot (hm 801?) O_o

The Smooth Weapons mod has got an ACS library called XHAIR included in it. It is used to get the new sniper's crosshair to work, but the scripts overrides one another:

Code: Select all

script 800 (int casing, int newhair) clientside
{
int oldhair = strparam(s:"crosshair ",d:p);
int althair = strparam(s:"crosshair ",d:newhair);

switch (casing)
{
case 0: // Disables the crosshair entirely.
p = GetCVar("crosshair");
ConsoleCommand("crosshair 0");
break;

case 1: // Restores the player's old crosshair.
ConsoleCommand(oldhair);
break;

case 2: // Sets the crosshair to a specified crosshair.
p = GetCVar("crosshair");
ConsoleCommand(althair);
break;
}

From what I could see and hear, the ZM timer should be rebalanced a tad. I guess the change was too radical but I definitely think this was a good idea. So no worries, I will release a patch once the mappack gets updated.

As for the sources, they will be out in a few weeks once this version is stabilized.

Thanks! :)

maybe on the cases where infecting a human would result in zero time increase you could add like 10 to 15 seconds or rand(10,rand(10,rand(15,25))

Smooth weapons makes the crosshair disappear and the sniper isn't in the middle of the screen, it's slightly right of the middle.

[Xsnake]

Alright, it seems there was another issue with the smoothweapons addon. Normally when you zoom in with the sniper rifle, it removes the player crosshair. But since the script in question is clientsided and does not check for the activator, everyone gets their crosshair removed. I guess this script had never worked, since this is the first time I hear about disappearing crosshairs. Anyway, the issue should be solved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Beta 28 fix1

• All weapons should have their original kickback back. I guess the DECORATE field "Weapon.Kickback" was simply ignored in previous versions of Skulltag/Zandronum, which led me to confusion.
• The "normal" status bar now is the 800x600 one and the "fullscreen" one is the 1280x1024 one, so the larger hud wad is no longer needed. You can choose which HUD you want by adjusting your HUD size (in Zandronum options).
• Modified a few values and timer incrementations on ZM maps. It now works as follows :
initial time = 2 mins
1st infection adds 90 seconds
2nd infection adds 75 seconds
3rd infection adds 60 seconds
4th infection adds 45 seconds
5th infection adds 30 seconds

which leads us to a total of 7 mins if I am not mistaken. I think that's reasonable.

zh_smooth_weps_v7fix

• Fixed a problem with disappearing crosshairs.
• Adjusted the weapons kickback values to match zh-beta28-fix1
• Updated the changelog inside the .pk3 for v6, v7 and v7fix

Hey Xsnake. Could you release the beta28 source codes for public?

[ibm5155]

for now you can use the old code for making the maps

[Fused]

That's not why I want it. I need the source code because updating Bagel Horde on thoughts only isn't fully working out. I need the code to see how he did various things.

Edit: it would also be nice to have a feature with certain items where it checks if it's allowed to be used on a map, like an inventory item or something. That way you dont need to remove an item (if people do this) to prevent glitching and op campbspots.

So this happened to me today on ZM09...
[spoiler]POT RAIN!!!!

[/spoiler]


Lagged like hell

[ibm5155]

change your rain detail config in puke 48 (ultra low will Spawn pots)

Well that's the thing. I haven't set it to ultra low. :P

[ibm5155]

well, it's fixed for now :(

[Xsnake]

Well, I was pretty sure I had released the beta28 sources a while ago, but it looks like I haven't. Apologies for that.

Beta 28 sources

And while I'm here, even if I don't often do that, I'll post some screenies of what I've been working on lately (at a slow pace). I'm currently reworking / re doing some of my old maps.

ZM02 and ZE04 have been taken out and need to be redone completely. Right now, I intend to finish reworking ZE05 before releasing something (along with other fixes/improvements).

Peace.

[Vincent(PDP)]

Woah!
That's some really nice work you've done there, Xsnake!
Glad to see you still care about ZH. :)
