[CoD4] Disable Select Class

[DjTranceFire]

Hey there.. :)
I'm trying to change the "team_marinesopfor" menu file so that players can only join allies.
Because the weapons are forced its useless that players can choose the class.
For some reason its seems impossible to disable it.
The menu calls

scriptMenuResponse "allies";

_menus.gsc:



case "allies":
self [[level.allies]]();
break;


Where is the part that opens the choose class menu?

Sorry for my bad english! :x

You are looking at the wrong menu. look in raw/ui_mp/scriptments/class.menu and edit it like this:

Add class.menu to your mod.csv file:


menufile,ui_mp/scriptmenus/class.menu

In your server config file, set the dvar:


set scr_force_class "1"

The class button will appear greyed out and they wont be able to click it.

You are looking at the wrong menu. look in raw/ui_mp/scriptments/class.menu and edit it like this:

As far as i know "class.menu" is the menu that opens whenever someone uses ESC.
But if someone joins the first menu that opens is "team_marinesopfor.menu".
I changed both menu's and "class.menu" is working fine. If you change to spectator and then to player it doesnt open the choose class.
But on first connect if you choose the team it will open choose class.

You asked me how to disable someone choosing a class. I did that. What else is needed?

[DjTranceFire]

I want the players to choose a team after they connect and after that not have to choose a class.
Whenever you choose a team you automatically have to choose a class you want to play with.
Thats the point i want to change because players will get their weapons with codscript.

Look in _globallogic.gsc and see how it's done for old school. In old school, as soon as you choose a team, you spawn into the game. You by-pass anything else.

Christ on a Bike! Not one word of thanks.

That's it. I am fed up helping people and don't even get a thank you. They use you up and spit you out and never a word of thanks for it. Never again.

Tally "Life is not fair, get used to it!" one of Bill Gates' rules, I know how frustrating it is helping others and not even getting a word of thank but does it matter? Be proud that you helped someone!

I know it sucks if you try to help everyone but no one is saying thanks..
But you could at least wait for an answer even if your answer solves or doesnt solves the problem.

So at this point... Just thanks for your help...
If you wont help me again in the future its ok, its your decision..
Sorry for my bad english and again sorry for not saying thanks on every post that i dont even read...

The very first link you posted - you posted a thank you today as a result of this thread - 5 days after I gave you a piece of code for free. When you cover your ass like that it doesn't count.

How about this one:

http://killtube.org/showthread.php?1857-CoD4-Disable-Viewhands

No thank you for that one, and I actually did some testing for a couple of hours. So, when it counts - when I go out of my way to do things or give things away - I don't get thanks.

I didn't solve your problem with my first post because you didn't explain yourself properly in your first post. I am a modder; not a mind reader. I don't do tricks.


and again sorry for not saying thanks on every post that i dont even read...

Pretending to say sorry and then trying to turn it around and make out its the other person's fault, is just so wrong. It actually empties the word "sorry" of all its semantic import. Still, look on the bright side - we wont run into this problem again, because I wont put myself in this position again.

I already linked this thread and if you look all the posts you will find a thank you from me, even if its not my thread!
Sorry that i dont said thank you again after you testet it and got some new answers but i dont opend the post again because its not my thread.

Dont understand me wrong, i wont say that its wrong to not solve problems on the first try.
I'm thankful anyways for every help even if its not going to solve my problem.
No one is perfect and sometimes a answer just dont helps.. That not the problem!

Thats the one and only reason for my post!
I just dont understand why someone has to cry about another one not saying "thank you" even if the person doesnt even reads the post.
On "03:15 PM" you got a new answer on this thread. I still dont know if its going to help me because i still doesnt tested it.
Without any response from me you created a new post at "04:38 PM" (only 1 hour later) crying because i'm not saying "thank you"
How should i? I'm not online for hours!

As i said.. If you dont want to help me again its ok.. In this case: kkthxbb <3 and thank you for your help in the past..
But ofc it would be awesome if you still woud help other users in this board.
Not everyone is a douchebag like me..

Thank you for your help! ;)

//edit:
Oh and btw.. You have "386 Thanks in 252 Posts" and that doesnt even count if someone just write it instead of just pressing buttons.
For that reason i dont think that your statement that no one is saying "Thank you" is going to be right but thats just my opinion..
