Shield hit

[ensiform]

TBH, I think it would look better to use the SP shell around player when you get hurt with shield. Half bubble looks kind of out of place in OJP.

Hmm, good idea, but I don't think it's possible with the engine? Is it?

 

I don't really know.

 

But I don't really like the shield, so yeah.

sure it is its just a different effect, me personally i hate the look and idea of the shield so i got rid of it all together huge improvement in my opinion.

Me too!

You got rid of shields period or just the effect?

 

AFAIK its doable, I can check in the parts of the sp code that we still have for doing some of CoOp.

 

Seems to be gfx/misc/personalshield.

 

This is how they do it in SP, but you'd need to change it to work like the MP way and apply this shader around the player:

 

	// Personal Shields
//------------------------
if ( powerups & ( 1 << PW_BATTLESUIT )) 
{
	float diff = gent->client->ps.powerups[PW_BATTLESUIT] - cg.time;
	float t;

	if ( diff > 0 )
	{
		t = 1.0f - ( diff / (ARMOR_EFFECT_TIME * 2.0f));
		// Only display when we have damage
		if ( t < 0.0f || t > 1.0f ) 
		{
		}
		else
		{
			ent->shaderRGBA[0] = ent->shaderRGBA[1] = ent->shaderRGBA[2] = 255.0f * t;
			ent->shaderRGBA[3] = 255;
			ent->renderfx &= ~RF_ALPHA_FADE;
			ent->renderfx |= RF_RGB_TINT;
			ent->customShader = cgs.media.personalShieldShader;

			cgi_R_AddRefEntityToScene( ent );
		}
	}
}

 

So, it *should* be doable and it seems to work pretty much just like the force powers around the player.

i just got rid of the effect

[Rtemis]

yes just get rid of the effect from gfx

[madcatmach2]

that will give you errors. so i just made an effect that was nothing and replaced it with that

To make the SP shield work:

 

comment out CG_PlayerHitFX in CG_Player.

 

Between CG_PlayerPowerups call and the force drain section of CG_Player, add:

 

	//[TrueView]
if (cent->damageTime > cg.time && cent->currentState.NPC_class != CLASS_VEHICLE &&
	(cg.renderingThirdPerson || cent->currentState.number != cg.snap->ps.clientNum
	|| cg_trueguns.integer || cg.predictedPlayerState.weapon == WP_SABER
	|| cg.predictedPlayerState.weapon == WP_MELEE))
//[/TrueView]
{
	int alpha = 255.0 * ((cent->damageTime - cg.time) / MIN_SHIELD_TIME) + random()*16;
	if (alpha>255)
		alpha=255;

	legs.shaderRGBA[0] = legs.shaderRGBA[1] = legs.shaderRGBA[2] = alpha;
	legs.shaderRGBA[3] = 255;
	legs.renderfx &= ~RF_FORCE_ENT_ALPHA;
	legs.renderfx &= ~RF_MINLIGHT;
	legs.renderfx &= ~RF_RGB_TINT;

	legs.customShader = cgs.media.playerShieldDamage;

	trap_R_AddRefEntityToScene( &legs );
}
