Hi, I want to combine a function pick up and move ("installation" put on the ground MG42) with allcustom weapons v1a mod.
I think this function is much more interesting rather than just carrying a gun like everyone else. With this the COD2 have more tactics play, i think.
I upload screens and mod to better understand. After i will be watch and disassemble/find scripts. If you can help, I'll be glad

materials/weapon_mg42
weapons/mpmg42_mp - This file not include in weapons folder on All Custom Weapons (v1a) So MG42 is loaded from another location...
For try i renamed mg42_mp to p38_mp (because All Custom Weapons mod have it) and I saw the right weapon for installation (upload screen)
It is necessary to do the decoupling and loading from weapons folder for mpmg42_mp

Maybe needed this files from AdmiralMOD because I did not find them in awe_cod2_v3.4.2_ They both have similar functions
Attachment 1417
And that's all probably, now it need to somehow add this function. I will think.... -
22nd February 2018, 21:52G-Stuff002
nothing succeeded, tried to add scripts to the server part like mg24scripts.cfg, but they did not even start with game, it is necessary to analyze where everything should be coded...
this is probably the most difficult for edit -
23rd February 2018, 11:22TallySo, let me get this clear: you want to have an MG42 selectable from the weapons menu, and you want to be able to deploy it, so that it is like a static MG42? If I've got that right, let me make some points:Quote:

2. The code is complected because you have to take account of all the possible places it can be deployed. I've known this code to crash servers (with the "unhandled exception" error) when a player tries to deploy it or get players stuck in terrain where they can't get out. So, if you want it, you will have to do it "at your own risk"!
3. What about the allies? There is a 50cal machine gun going around the community. Why don't you add that to your mod as well? You can't really give one team a deployable machine gun and not the other. It wouldn't be fair.
4. I'm busy for the rest of today and weekends are always busy, but if you still want it, I'll see what Monday is like for business and get started on it. -
23rd February 2018, 12:54G-Stuff002
Yes, have an MG42 selectable from the weapons menu in zzz_allcustom_v1a mod. Replace and make the function "deploy" like a static MG42.
Here have explanation about MG42: http://www.modbase.be/download-406-info.html
example: "The M1919A6 .30cal and MG42 turrets (machine guns) must be planted before being fired. Planting is done by aiming down the sight (a la COD/UO)."
1. Yes all is exactly. No animation, MG42 is just visible like lying weapons in the left side - Screen:Spoiler:
after selection of MG42 from weapons menu
Animation have only when shooting (after placing on the ground)
2. ..'code is complected' I know not all the places (grounds,surface) are available
..'I've known this code to crash servers' - It's not scary. I use only Local LAN Homenetwork for 4 players (Friends)
..'at your own risk' - ok, i understand!
3. zzz_allcustom_v1a mod Give to choose any weapons for any Teams. You are right! It will be available to all Teams.
EDIT____ !
About 50cal. zzz_allcustom_v1a have 2 heavy machine gun, one of two i wont to be change like deployed, it's will be different for gameplay and more interesting. In this mod, each team can choose any weapon for any nation this equates forces for all
This is the whole point of balancing the chances. zzz_allcustom_v1a - it for this.
Ok, I'll wait for help, Thank you! And I'll try to do it myself, I will sort this out and combine options -
23rd February 2018, 22:30G-Stuff002
Ok, what i know and found right now, maybe it will be useful not to forget:
-----------------------
for a note.
All Custom Weapons
consists of two files:
-zzz_allcustom_v1a.iwd
-zzz_optionaltotal.iwd
----------------------
"mg42" hosted in the - zzz_optionaltotal.iwd/weapons/mp/weapon1_mp
mg42 is renamed as weapon1_mp !! Attachment 1430Spoiler:
This model (weapon1_mp) needs to be replaced (delete and past) by this: Attachment 1432Spoiler:
This model does not shoot and just shown as the selected from the weapons menu. For this weapon need to embed code 'deploy' from 'awe 3.4.2'
Code need embed in zzz_allcustom_v1a.iwd or zzz_optionaltotal.iwd i dont know yet -
23rd February 2018, 22:53G-Stuff002
And there are is the most difficult part where to write the code, which I found (wrote on the first page) I'll try to find some weapon mod for one weapon and will see how it works, for a hint.. it may be necessary:Attachment 1434
-
24th February 2018, 22:16G-Stuff002
I had an idea that it was easier...(because it will need to edit fewer files) to add mg42 like deploy, it will be of secondary weapon in pistols menu. I thought about how this would be reflected in the battle and I think that was good as tactics, 'fast' and hidden battle.
I make additional points in weapons menu but I have a problem. Look at screen:Spoiler:
I add flamethrower_mp, at the same time, that there was a slot ready for it (CHOICE6)
And rename mg42_mp to mg42dpl_mp (CHOICE7), because scripts on mg42 has already for another weapon. And this mg42dpl_mp it will be like deploy
Attachment 1436
Attachment 1437 -
25th February 2018, 15:56G-Stuff002
I lost countenance..I'm investigating codes for deploy in _turrets.GSC. There are two names of MG42, the first is external
mg42_mp (my renamed like mg42dpl_mp) but he has an internal name as 'awe_mg42' - maybe that is awe.cfg, for run codes
Everything is very difficult... -
26th February 2018, 19:27TallyI finally had some time to work on this. The first thing I did was download this allcustom_v1 mod. In my version (which I got from here: DOWNLOAD), the MG42 was working fine. I did not have to fix it.Quote:
Originally Posted by G-Stuff002

In particular, the menu options are too close together. It is hard to actually pick the one you want. Do you want me to fix this and make the menus better? There are a number of missing weapon images. I could fix them as well if you want.
Of, if you don't care about this allcustom_v1 mod, I can make you a much better one, where the allies get the 30.cal and the germans get the MG42 from the menus. Then I could concentrate on the deployment mod.
BTW - which key do you want to press? The USE button? Or, the melee button? Or do you want to use another key? I can use any key you want, but it does require a file added to the mod in order for the game to detect that you are actually pressing it.
EDIT - LOL this allcustom_v1 mod is using a lot of my stuff. The pistols menu and images are mine, taken from the eXtreme+ mod. I was a member of the development team and made them back in 2006. I had forgotten how bad those pistol images were. I was a bit of a noob back then! -
26th February 2018, 20:15G-Stuff002
Only one deployable MG42 needed, this is enough since because all the weapons are available for any team in this mod.
'make the menus better' - can be left as is, or i dont know, maybe some fixes at your discretion, everything suits it, is important that all weapons remain in their places. And I had an very good idea, it is better to add deployable MG42 in pistols menu like CHOICE6 and after i wont add flamethrower CHOICE7 i upload the files later
'Of, if you don't care about this allcustom_v1 mod' - then i lose portable version of MG42 and the 30.cal from menu. If for you it is more convenient and easier, let it be so. EDIT.: Then this is the last сhoose/decision
'BTW - which key do you want to press? ' - Use key better like in original mod
It is possible at once to add additional items in the pistol menu ? i will uplaod the files. For flamethrower, supajoe's Nade Launcher (v2),
Knife that can be thrown from ASIOAS mod (1.5). There will be both strong support. I wanted to replace them with pistols but it's best to make additional items -
26th February 2018, 20:43G-Stuff002
allcustom_v1 - this is the best mod i think, because it has a lot, most of all weapons. It principal mod on which I based around him all the rest 'stand-alone' mods. To finish it well, to be the good basis.
If it need to know what I'm doing (This is all for the original COD2, just as add-ons not like a eXtreme+ or others Global mods they changes a lot and I just supplement the original)
'...pistols menu and images are mine' - I did not see better. Even now it looks great! -
26th February 2018, 22:32G-Stuff002
Pistols menu additional
1. supajoe's Nade Launcher (v2) Attachment 1439
2. flamethrower from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/callofduty2/mods/682
Patch for him: https://www.nexusmods.com/callofduty.../683?tab=files
EDIT
3. Knife that can be thrown from this ASIOAS mod. Good enough idea, just checked, better than Torre's (German) Spade
This is a small addition but I think it will be a success. Players like to sometimes play only one weapon by agreement, and if take the knife it will be a fun battle
If everything turned out, it would be perfect mod -
27th February 2018, 14:50TallyI'm nearly done with the deployable mg42 and 30cal. It's nearly finished. So, I'm not going to do more additions right. I simply don't have the time. Maybe in a week or so, when I get some spare time, I can rethink it. But for now, I have to say "no".Quote:

Clear!, I did not see, missed that it also needs to be renamed.
You are the best programmer, just looked at the code and found an error, it's amazing! thank you! interesting to know you are still developing something, you do everything very qualitatively -
27th February 2018, 18:06Tally
Okay, here it is. Please get the download from here: DOWNLOAD
Some notes:
1. I did not mess too much with the menus. In my opinion, they are a mess, but it would take a long time to sort them out, and I just don't have the time.
2. You can deploy any fixed turret on a map that has them (some gametypes don't have them - like CTF for example). Also, of course, if you pick either the MG42 or the 30CAL from the menu, you can deploy them as per the AWE mod. There is a "user hint" at the top of the screen which tells you what to do.
3. I renamed weapon1_mp to mg42_carry_mp; and weapon2_mp to 30cal_carry_mp. I tried to name them to mg42_mp and 30cal_mp, but that crashed the server for some reason. I'm not quite sure why. So, I renamed them to "_carry_mp" instead.
4. Other than in maps\mp\gametypes\_turrets.gsc all the script functions are in _weapons.gsc. There are a lot of them. You have to watch weapon changes, and watch for binocular usage as well.
5. I put all the init() functions in _callbacksetup.gsc to kick it all off instead of using the gametype files.
6. I removed the deletePlacedEntitys function as the AWE code has it as well. So, you can delete placed fixed turrets on maps with a dvar. Please see the config file for all the dvar settings. -

EDIT
WOW! This is even better than in the original!!, you combined portable and deployable version ) Cool! just need to add fix unfix function, this gives more opportunities in using this weapon
Thank you very much Tally, this is a dream! Now have a basis to work on (continue work)
"1. I did not mess too much with the menus." - It not necessary i think, menu is simple and convenient, for each nation is shown his native weapon, and extra weapons are shown nearby. It is not convenient to choose weapon if the menu is complex, it's need to spend more time while the fight is going on without you, in my opinion. This menu is remembered more in memory, the whole picture, everything is in sight. At least I do not know your ideas..
Thanks that wrote in what files codes are written, it is useful -
27th February 2018, 19:04TallyThe AWE code was broken. You aren't supposed to stand there with a turret gun in your hands, and have a turret on the floor. That isn't deploying your weapon, that's spawning another new weapon on the floor.Quote:
Originally Posted by G-Stuff002

I found a problem - the MG42 is missing xmodels. You get the default horse xmodel. No idea how this happened. One minute it was fine; the next, it was broken.
I'm just fixing it now, and I'll upload a new download once I've done. -

Here is sorted and works but loads a lot of unnecessary
This is full mod from which I make stand-alone: Attachment 1448
I deleted some files but can not delete the rest, everything stops working. Two days worked and sorted but nothing happened
Need to remove all unnecessary codes, except Map Ambience Effects, Weather Ambience System, War Ambience System , Mortar Effects, Airplane Effects - this is writes in CFG
This is a very important mod, with it the maps and battle feel differently. I try to make the environment more alive, filled active environment. It does not exist as stand-alone anywhere -

Everything works well for me, tested about 20 minutes at first time re-creat server, changing teams,deploy for all team, it's all fine. Can after some time something is lost.. by xmodels, but not now.
Ok i'll be wait fixed version

You're coding way above what you're able to handle. Start simple.
You don't need "help with modding", you need to employ a full time modder. -

That's are is simple start. Just need to remove all unnecessary codes, except Ambience effects weather and war..
For example i delete all unnecessary lilke "#include "ui_mp/menudef.h" etc. from files but some codes are still needed.. The startup structure definitely need codes is not clear
English and programming language, slang, reduction of, get confused me
ok, i will try and try again...
