Altering Weapon Physics....

[Business_Eskimo]

I was wondering if there was a fairly easy way to alter the physics of a grenade (thermal detonator, i guess its called) in JK2 so that takes longer to explode and how much it bounces. If this type of question has been answered before, I am sorry. I have looked around many sites, and found nothing even remotely close to this.

 

Thanks.

[Code]

im asuming u have the code base (sdk)

 

1: go in gamedata/code/game/

 

2: find g_weapon.c

 

3: open it with notepad (or your compiler)

 

4: find

  Quote

#define TD_TIME 3000//6000

#define TD_ALT_TIME 3000

and change it to whatever suit u, (3000 = 3secs)

 

Note, there another TD_ALT_TIME just below

just comment it ... (by putting // at the start of the line)

 

5: next, find

  Quote

gentity_t *WP_FireThermalDetonator( gentity_t *ent, qboolean altFire )

in that function locate

  Quote

bolt->bounceCount = -5;

i presume that means bounce 5 times (y the negative value?)

change it to whatever suit u

 

6: save the file (duh )

 

7: in that same directory, run game.bat

 

8.: once the batch script done,

open pakscape.exe (in your gamedata dir usaly)

create a new pk3 with a vm folder

the batch script produced a file jk2mpgame.qvm

in gamedata/code/base/vm

place that file in the pk3 vm folder

 

9.: save the pk3 in a new folder in your gamedata dir

example gamedata/Eskimo/

and the file name Eskimo.pk3 (not sure of this, but to b safe)

 

10.: enjoy

 

wanna learn C ? try this
