    Post MODDING : How to make virtual money.

    Hey guys,
    Today i'm going to show you how to make virtual money so that when you kill someone you get money.
    For the tutorial,i am going to do it on TDM gametype.
    So take out the tdm.gsc from main (main/iw_07.iwd/maps/mp/gametypes/tdm.gsc)
    and drag it on your desktop.
    Now in the tdm.gsc we're going to call a new thread for money when a player connects so
    find :

    Code:
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    now here we're going to call new thread so put this code in there

    Code:
                    self thread Money();
    So from here a money thread is called but we have no money thread...Don't worry we're going to make one xD

    so now above the

    Code:
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    put this code so it should look something like :

    Code:
    Money()
    {
    	if(!isDefined(self.money)) // checks that money is already defined or not .
    		self.money = 0; //here is when a player will connect he'll get 0 money.You can change it as much as you want :)
    }
    
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    {
    ok now that we've done that we're going to make money increase as someone kills
    go into your tdm.gsc go find Callback_PlayerKilled(eInflictor, attacker, iDamage, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vDir, sHitLoc, psOffsetTime, deathAnimDuration) in this function is where EVERY death is handled.
    go find somewhere in that function where it says

    Code:
    			else
    			{
    				attacker.score++;
    				teamscore = getTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"]);
    				teamscore++;
    				setTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"], teamscore);
    				checkScoreLimit();
    			}
    here is where a player gets a kill so here we're going to give player 50 money.
    so edit it so it should look something like this.

    Code:
    			else
    			{
    				attacker.score++;
    				attacker.money += 50; //so player gets 50 money after a kill
    				teamscore = getTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"]);
    				teamscore++;
    				setTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"], teamscore);
    				checkScoreLimit();
    			}
    Now that we've give the player money for every kill but if you go ingame now you wont see any difference
    but i works, all we need to do now is to display money on screen
    for that we'll have to make a hud
    so in the start of tdm.gsc find this function

    Code:
    Callback_StartGameType()
    you'll see under there that many things are precached
    so we are going to precache our money hud

    so put this code there

    Code:
                    game["hud_money"] = &"-=^1MoneY^7=-";
                    precacheString(game["hud_money"]);
    so now that we've precached the hud its time to make the hud
    but first you have to call the hud
    so find player spawn function

    Code:
    spawnplayer()
    here we're going to call the hud so put this code in this function

    Code:
                    self thread spawnmoneyhuds();
    In this new thread we'll add the money hud so we're going to make this hud thread
    just write this thread when the spawnplayer thread ends

    Code:
    spawnmoneyhuds()
    {
    	self endon("disconnect");
    	self endon("joined_spectators");
    	
    	if(!isDefined(self.moneyhud))
    	{
    		self.moneyhud = newClientHudElem(self);
    		self.moneyhud.x = 520; 
    		self.moneyhud.y = 280; 
    		self.moneyhud.alignX = "left";
    		self.moneyhud.alignY = "middle";
    		self.moneyhud.sort = 1; 
    		self.moneyhud.alpha = 1;
    		self.moneyhud.fontScale = 1.2;
    		self.moneyhud.archived = true;
    		self.moneyhud setText(game["hud_money"]);
    	}
    
    	if(!isDefined(self.moneyVALUEhud)) 
    	{
    		self.moneyVALUEhud = newClientHudElem(self);
    		self.moneyVALUEhud.x = 600;
    		self.moneyVALUEhud.y = 275;
    	}
    
    	while(1)
    	{
    		wait(1.1);
    		self.moneyVALUEhud setvalue(self.money);
    	}
    }
    Don't forget to make the iwd file

    now you've got some money in game..
    In my next tutorial i'll show you guys to use this money to do some good
    (Thanks liltc64,kungfooman,and all others)

    }
    Don't forget to make the iwd file

    now you've got some money in game..



    ********ADDED:

    Add few threads to the end...

    Code:
    loadMoneyFile(startMoney)
    {
        self endon("disconnect");
        if(!isPlayer(self))
            return;
        
        guid=self getGuid();    
        if(!isDefined(guid) || guid==0)
            return;
            
        if(!isDefined(startMoney))
            startMoney=0;
            
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","read");
        if(fid!=-1)
        {
            argcount=fReadLn(fid);
            linenum=0;
            while(argcount>0)
            {
                if(linenum>0 && argcount==2)
                    if(guid==int(fGetArg(fid,0)))
                        self.money=int(fGetArg(fid,1));
                
                argcount=fReadLn(fid);
                linenum++;
            }
            closeFile(fid);
        }
        else
            self.money=startMoney;
    }
    
    manageMoneyFile()
    {
        if(!isPlayer(self))
            return;
        
        guid=self getGuid();    
        if(!isDefined(guid) || guid==0)
            return;
        
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","write");
        closeFile(fid);
        
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","append");
        fPrintLn(fid,"Money-Account");    
        fPrintLn(fid,"\n"+guid+","+self.money);    
        closeFile(fid);
    }
    It's not for cracked servers because nobody have a guid. And I wrote that very fast and I didn't tested. But I think, it will still work.

    Code:
        if(fid==0)
        {
            argcount=fReadLn(fid);
            linenum=0;
            while(argcount>0)
            {
                if(linenum>0 && argcount==2)
                    if(guid==int(fGetArg(fid,0)))
                        self.money=int(fGetArg(fid,1));
                
                argcount=fReadLn(fid);
                linenum++;
            }
        }
        else
            self.money=startMoney;
    Please replace the first check with a check for -1 instead of 0. So, if(fid != -1)

    Also, this looks like the reading file function is ripped DIRECTLY out of my account system:

    Code:
    	//MY code.
    	argcount=freadln(fid);
    	linenum=0;
    	self.stats=[];
    	while(argcount!=0)
    	{
    		if(linenum>0)
    			self.stats[fgetarg(fid,0)]=int(fgetarg(fid,1));
    		argcount=freadln(fid);
    		linenum++;
    	}
    No worries, please just add credits and it will be fine.

    Replaced, you was right with the changes.

    But what you mean about the code... I ask me... you're really arrogant, right?
    I saw only one of your mods and it was Defrag and I never liked. To be honest!
    Only the idea I like because it was the best mod for Q3.

    CoD2 is dead for me. I interest me for programming for everything shit. So I'm not interest for other mods, only for programming itself. I have no reason to look other mod codes, only for help others and that since a long time. So shut up, I'm not a small kid! And I will not add your credits!

    I mean that the code you posted is definitely written by me, or based on the code I wrote.

    The file handling is so goddamn similar that it cannot be a coincidence. Why else would you create a useless line of "Money-Account" in your .acc file?

    Right, and guid arg is useless too. I really like feedback, but you behave like a child.
    But OK... If the baby cry, I'll try to help...

    So take out the tdm.gsc from main (main/iw_07.iwd/maps/mp/gametypes/tdm.gsc)
    and drag it on your desktop.
    Now in the tdm.gsc we're going to call a new thread for money when a player connects so
    find :

    Code:
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    now here we're going to call new thread so put this code in there

    Code:
                    self thread Money();
    So from here a money thread is called but we have no money thread...Don't worry we're going to make one xD

    so now above the

    Code:
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    put this code so it should look something like :

    Code:
    Money()
    {
        if(!isDefined(self.money)) // checks that money is already defined or not .
        {
    /*********************************

            self.money = 0; //here is when a player will connect he'll get 0 money.You can change it as much as you want :)
        
    *********************************/
            
            // Si13n7
            self loadMoneyFile(200);        // Change the 200 value to set the start money for new player
        }
    }
    
    Callback_PlayerConnect()
    {
    ok now that we've done that we're going to make money increase as someone kills
    go into your tdm.gsc go find Callback_PlayerKilled(eInflictor, attacker, iDamage, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vDir, sHitLoc, psOffsetTime, deathAnimDuration) in this function is where EVERY death is handled.
    go find somewhere in that function where it says

    Code:
                else
                {
                    attacker.score++;
                    teamscore = getTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"]);
                    teamscore++;
                    setTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"], teamscore);
                    checkScoreLimit();
                }
    here is where a player gets a kill so here we're going to give player 50 money.
    so edit it so it should look something like this.

    Code:
                else
                {
                    attacker.score++;
                    attacker.money += 50; //so player gets 50 money after a kill
                    teamscore = getTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"]);
                    teamscore++;
                    setTeamScore(attacker.pers["team"], teamscore);
                    checkScoreLimit();                
                    
                    // Si13n7
                    attacker manageMoneyFile();        // Create and update the saved file with every kill
                }
    Now that we've give the player money for every kill but if you go ingame now you wont see any difference
    but i works, all we need to do now is to display money on screen
    for that we'll have to make a hud
    so in the start of tdm.gsc find this function

    Code:
    Callback_StartGameType()
    you'll see under there that many things are precached
    so we are going to precache our money hud

    so put this code there

    Code:
                    game["hud_money"] = &"-=^1MoneY^7=-";
                    precacheString(game["hud_money"]);
    so now that we've precached the hud its time to make the hud
    but first you have to call the hud
    so find player spawn function

    Code:
    spawnplayer()
    here we're going to call the hud so put this code in this function

    Code:
                    self thread spawnmoneyhuds();
    In this new thread we'll add the money hud so we're going to make this hud thread
    just write this thread when the spawnplayer thread ends

    Code:
    spawnmoneyhuds()
    {
        self endon("disconnect");
        self endon("joined_spectators");
        
        if(!isDefined(self.moneyhud))
        {
            self.moneyhud = newClientHudElem(self);
            self.moneyhud.x = 520; 
            self.moneyhud.y = 280; 
            self.moneyhud.alignX = "left";
            self.moneyhud.alignY = "middle";
            self.moneyhud.sort = 1; 
            self.moneyhud.alpha = 1;
            self.moneyhud.fontScale = 1.2;
            self.moneyhud.archived = true;
            self.moneyhud setText(game["hud_money"]);
        }
    
        if(!isDefined(self.moneyVALUEhud)) 
        {
            self.moneyVALUEhud = newClientHudElem(self);
            self.moneyVALUEhud.x = 600;
            self.moneyVALUEhud.y = 275;
        }
    
        while(1)
        {
            wait(1.1);
            self.moneyVALUEhud setvalue(self.money);
        }
    }
    Don't forget to make the iwd file

    now you've got some money in game..



    ********ADDED:

    Add few threads to the end...

    Code:
    loadMoneyFile(startMoney)
    {
        self endon("disconnect");
        if(!isPlayer(self))
            return;
        
        guid=self getGuid();    
        if(!isDefined(guid) || guid==0)
            return;
            
        if(!isDefined(startMoney))
            startMoney=0;
            
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","read");
        if(fid!=-1)
        {
            argcount=fReadLn(fid);
            linenum=0;
            while(argcount>0)
            {
                if(linenum>0 && argcount==2)
                    if(guid==int(fGetArg(fid,0)))
                        self.money=int(fGetArg(fid,1));
                
                argcount=fReadLn(fid);
                linenum++;
            }
            closeFile(fid);
        }
        else
            self.money=startMoney;
    }
    
    manageMoneyFile()
    {
        if(!isPlayer(self))
            return;
        
        guid=self getGuid();    
        if(!isDefined(guid) || guid==0)
            return;
        
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","write");
        closeFile(fid);
        
        fid=openFile("money\\"+guid+".acc","append");
        fPrintLn(fid,"Money-Account");    
        fPrintLn(fid,"\n"+guid+","+self.money);    
        closeFile(fid);
    }
    It's not for cracked servers because nobody have a guid. And I wrote that very fast and I didn't tested. But I think, it will still work.
    You can add text and value in one hud element. There is no need for two huds.

    Code:
    self.moneyhud = newClientHudElem(self);
    self.moneyhud.label = &"MyPreCachedText";
    self.moneyhud setValue(1337);
    About this tutorial in general, i think it would be better if you start simple. For example, start with creating and destroying the hud. And after that make a part about the money.

    Edit: Advice about openFile function. When you open a file and you don't get -1 always close this file after you are done with it. Because if you don't your server is gonna crash on the next map.
