CoD4 - basics

[Tally]

I don't want to run server from main folder. After setting "+set fs_homepath "/home/cod4/server"" console_mp.log is in fs_game folder so I think it's ok.

Will the "q3dirtravfix.so" from CoD2 work in CoD4?

What if I will check bullettrace before calling damage function?

		/*================
Called when a player has taken damage.
self is the player that took damage.
================*/
CodeCallback_PlayerDamage(eInflictor, eAttacker, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, timeOffset)
{
    // Check for bulletTrace
    ...
    ...
    ...

    if(trace)
        return;
    //

    self endon("disconnect");
    [[level.callbackPlayerDamage]](eInflictor, eAttacker, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, timeOffset);
} 
	

What do you mean what if you check bullettrace before calling damage? What are you trying to do? If you are trying to stop Deep Impact/specialty_bulletpenetration, it wont work. You can't intercept the depth of impact of Deep Impact because, as I said, it is hard coded, and it's done in the engine, not in script. The only perks which are done in script are:

specialty_bulletdamage
specialty_armorvest
specialty_explosivedamage

The script for handling those perks can be found in maps\mp\gametypes\_class::cac_modified_damage(). All the other perks are done in the engine, and they are hard coded.

Cant it be that the bulletpenetration is a property of the weaponfile, so you can edit the weaponfile to set something like "wallpenetration" to 0? (never did cod4, but this seems logical...)

bulletpen can be influenced by a file its sth like hitloc table and i guess itrs in the mp folder
there you can set different penetration depths for the surfaces

or you check if the if( iDFlags & level.iDFlags_Bulletpen ) and change it there in CodeCallback_PlayerDamage

just a guess

No, there is no such weapon setting.

I've never seen such a file, and I have a set of raw files which was given to me by the developers. It has EVERY file used in COD4. But, I guess there could always be one file they missed. Could you pass one to me please?

Also, there is no such flag as level.iDFlags_Bulletpen. But having had a look through callback_playerdamage, I found there is one such flag relating to Deep Impact:

eInflictor.wasDamagedFromBulletPenetration

But that only relates to C4 for some reason. However, having said that, that would be the flag that someone wishing to intercept Deep Impact would need to work on. But I seem to remember someone saying that you can't intercept damage from wasDamagedFromBulletPenetration. But that might have been because they were lame and didn't really know what they were doing. So, I guess the question is still open, and someone may find a solution to it.

raw/info/bullet_penetration_mp

i would suggest to simply spawn a bot behind a wall, and shoot at him and print the iDFlags in callback_playerdamage, if it stays at 0, you have to use bulletTraces to check for this, otherwise check for this flag

Thx, serthy!

If bullet went through wall then iDFlags = 8.

Just edit _callbacksetup.gsc to disable it.

		CodeCallback_PlayerDamage(eInflictor, eAttacker, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, timeOffset)
{
    if(iDFlags == 8)
        return;

    self endon("disconnect");
    [[level.callbackPlayerDamage]](eInflictor, eAttacker, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, timeOffset);
} 
	

About "q3dirtravfix.so" - it prevents from downloading files from server with other extensions than .iwd and .pk3. So I think It won't work in CoD4 because there are .ff files too. So do You know another way to protect your .gsc files?

What's the problem with: set sv_allowDownload 0?

[BlancO]

Players won't be able to download mods.
