SAGA Gametype

[ASk]

It seems that Raven has a whole gametype coded but not used in the game...and it seems that it's playable. The only problem is that the map needs to be specifically designed and also must have an info file that defines the objectives (as i see now, saga is like objectives maps in RTCW)

 

the required entities are:

 

info_player_imperial - for imperial team start

info_player_rebel - for rebel team start

 

info_saga_objective - the objective

parameters for info_saga_objective:

side: 1,2 - 1 is imperial objective, 2 is rebel objective

objective: 1-9 - the number of the objective to complete on this entity's activation.

 

also there's code for the info file reading:

trap_FS_Read(saga_info, len, f);

saga_valid = 1;

if (GetValueGroup(saga_info, "Rebel", objectives))
{
	if (GetPairedValue(objectives, "RequiredObjectives", goalreq))
	{
		rebel_goals_required = atoi(goalreq);
	}
	if (GetPairedValue(objectives, "attackers", goalreq))
	{
		rebel_attackers = atoi(goalreq);
	}
}
if (GetValueGroup(saga_info, "Imperial", objectives))
{
	if (GetPairedValue(objectives, "RequiredObjectives", goalreq))
	{
		imperial_goals_required = atoi(goalreq);
	}
	if (GetPairedValue(objectives, "attackers", goalreq))
	{
		imperial_attackers = atoi(goalreq);
	}
}

 

if anyone manages to make the required files from this info...the SAGA gametype might just be possible (its g_gametype 6 btw)

why don't you try to be this guy !

the guy who creates this info file ??

from what i can remember when i was mapping for halflife the infofiles are plain text ....so it shouldn't be really hard to add this to the info file....

 

 

off topic : ASk have you any clues about the questions i asked in my other topic 'model drawing' ???

[bacon]

If they had maps with this in it, multiplayer could've been more fun. Good find!

[ASk]

well it is plain text

but in what form i would write it.

the structure, etc is what i ask for

[TheSnerd]

From what that piece of code tells me the file should look like this:

 

Rebel {
RequiredObjectives 2
attackers 0
}

Imperial {
RequiredObjectives 2
attackers 1
}

 

RequiredObjectives ... number of accomplished objectives to win the game

attackers ... either in Rebel or Imperial this has to be 1, 1 = attacking team, 0 = defending team

 

the file has to be placed in the maps-directory like this: MAPNAME.saga, normal text-file

 

Hope this helps - by the way: I didn't test it, so it may be possible that what I write here is totally wrong

[ASk]

heh

the GOD posted

gonna try it now

but i still need a normal map for it

[bacon]

I found some new variable things.

 

SAGATEAM_IMPERIAL (equal to TEAM_RED)

SAGATEAM_REBEL (equal to TEAM_BLUE)

GT_SAGA

rebel_attackers

imperial_attackers

SP_info_player_imperial

SP_info_player_rebel

SP_info_saga_objective

WPFLAG_SAGA_IMPERIALOBJ

WPFLAG_SAGA_REBELOBJ

EV_SAGA_ROUNDOVER

EV_SAGA_OBJECTIVECOMPLETE

 

Hope this helps.

This needs a bump. Or has someone figured all this out already?

[ASk]

i got lazy

NWN saps my free time now, so this mod is frozen.

i still request a very simple map with the entities mentioned above.

 

the config file does not work though...that's the main problem

[bacon]

I donno if I've got it working. I've added a few things that I felt were missing but I can't map so I'm sorta stuck where I am right now.

i'm not sure on what you mean with all this

why did you post then?

[{xg}darthVADER]

i just felt like posting and this interests me

[hfddgafhafhadfg]

if you guys can get this to work, i would appreciate it if you would notify me, it would greatly help the Rebel Operations mod

[Jaii der Herr]

perhaps the mapers of ATOTCTC an I will try it. I've asked them some weeks ago

[hfddgafhafhadfg]

thanx, i would have my team working on a test map, but we no longer have an active mapper

[delquar]

nifty, i hope you can get this to work, i would help ya, but i cant use the mapping program at all. but i wish you well, and if saga gametype is what it sounds like, it could be very fun to play

[CoolMoeD]

OMG iv got a map (99.99% done) that would be perfect for a counter-op style, just tell me what to do

[Jaii der Herr]

I have no Idea

[delquar]

is no one gonna tell him what he should do for his map?

[ASk]

Look in the first post:

 

info_player_imperial - for imperial team start

info_player_rebel - for rebel team start

 

info_saga_objective - the objective

parameters for info_saga_objective:

side: 1,2 - 1 is imperial objective, 2 is rebel objective

objective: 1-9 - the number of the objective to complete on this entity's activation.

 

The problem is, someone needs to write an ini for this map. And I don't think anyone has an idea how it is arranged.

[delquar]

well. all i can say is try, i cant map worth a dog dew in december. but its interesting to me to have this figured out

[razorace]

Saga's format has been figured out. Check here for details...
