+1 standalone script

[idan]

Hi everyone. It's the first time i'm writing a script for COD2 but i've some experience in programming: basically what i'm trying to add to my mod is the +1 indicator like Extreme mod when you kill a player. I've looked at Extreme mod but i have no idea how it does such a thing (i cannot find anything about it ). Can you give me some suggestion? My idea is to integrate some stuff into PAM mod to make it a little bit more fun.

Thank you

In the maps/mp/gametypes/_callbacksetup.gsc call the init():

		CodeCallback_StartGameType()
{
    // If the gametype has not beed started, run the startup
    if(!isDefined(level.gametypestarted) || !level.gametypestarted)
    {
        [[level.callbackStartGameType]]();

        level.gametypestarted = true; // so we know that the gametype has been started up
    }

    setcvar("scr_testclients" , 2 );
    thread maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::addTestClients(); // bots for testing only

    maps\mp\gametypes\_scorepopup::init(); // <-------------------------
} 
	

Create a file in maps/mp/gametypes called _scorepopup.gsc and add IzNoGod's code (https://killtube.org/showthread.php?1208-plusscore):

Call the scorepopup on every kill in the _callbacksetup::CallBack_OnPlayerKilled() (insert this function call as the last line):

		level thread maps\mp\gametypes\_scorepopup::OnPlayerKilled( eAttacker , self , sMeansOfDeath , sHitLoc );

Many thanks you made my day!! now it's working i also added the code to recognize if it's a self kill or not!!

Just another question i think for you its really simple. I also added some sound that i want to play but i found a pack with all killingspree etc sound but it doesnt work even if i edit the file in soundaliases by adding in the csv with the same format as other files!

Thanks a lot

[serthy]

I don't know what mod that 'killingspree' sound is from, but usually you have to call the sound via script somehow, otherwise it is not playing.
If you have a mod, you need to merge the *.gsc files, such that it is a single mod, otherwise the mod gets overwritten in alphabetical order.
When you already took care of this and there is still no sound, I remember I had similar issues with the soundaliases back in the day and tried until everything worked.
Your sound files and the soundalias need to be in a .iwd file that gets downloaded by the client (iirc).

[idan]

Sorry for my bad english. What i wanted to say is that i'm able to play sound that i found in a killingspree mod via script but whenever i add some new sounds to the sound folder then to soundaliases i edit the csv file and add the reference to the .mp3, calling it from the script doesnt work.. but only for the new sounds added

[serthy]

Yeah, okay. Unfortunately I cant help you with that, as I dont remember this part.
In the past I had similar trouble getting sound to work, sometimes it was a faulty soundalias or a different audio format/encoding altogether that didnt work.
Maybe go step by step until it breaks down: change an existing soundfiles name etc.
If custom sounds arent loaded, maybe your soundalias isnt read in the first place?
You could place it inside an iwd with 'zzz_' prefix, as these getting loaded last and should override the stock ones.

[zhaiks]

I CAN'T implement it, can you give me a hand?
