XC_Engine [20] - XC_Core [7b] - XC_IpDrv

Cool. A new package helper could be used to add the new renderers.
It is only something you could trust to a security aware tool.

[UT99.org]

I wanted to ask Higor, if a server changes the map at the last second, or only tells the client once the new map is loading. Example from client-side being the map name is different to what it says it's going to be. Might say connecting to DM-Gothic but then you change to another map. Do you know if this recaches that map so the client would actually be caching both maps or would it be one and then the other, or does no caching take place?

Second regarding this project, don't forget about this thread http://www.ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5721 (Also on that note, loathsome's suggestion of changing settings at the end of the map is crazy, settings need to change the moment the client disconnects. Or where appropriate: settings are saveconfig()ed before being changed, seems to work in a lot of cases)

[Higor]

- Client only loads a map when the server has already transferred the huge network communication table that contains packages and classes, and a few replicated actors.
- The server may redirect you to other URL's via mods.
- The server may lie about it's active map on the query tab.

The client displaying an erroneous map name is a bug caused by name-caching (guessing) during connection, ideally the map name should only be displayed during connection AFTER the UPackageMap network list is transferred.

Just updating the first post, given I was able to get a Linux build (removing the EditObject command)

[Higor]

Interesting enough, the inventory passed from map to map is a TMap<FString,FString> where the first element is the Player name, and second one a list of actors and properties.

Code: Select all

    }

I wonder at what stage the items are given to the player.

A few extra stuff has been added as well (seen in the first post).

Learning lots of things about how UnrealScript works in conjunction with native code.
The interesting part is that any app can properly have it's own scripting engine provided they have some sort of compiler, class system with default objects and a global field system for properties and functions.
To think such a system was designed for a game back in 1996 truly amazes me.

[Higor]

Added an extra 'hook' which replaces a pure UScript function in runtime, the candidate was GetWeapon.
What it does, is to rewrite the compiled opcodes of said function altering it's behaviour.

The new GetWeapon will:
- Search for weapon subclasses instead of exact matches (like UTPure)
- Will cycle through weapons of matching subclasses (GetWeapon Weapon is funky)
- Will not fail to bring up a weapon if player has no weapon selected.

Since GetWeapon is a function executed serverside, ALL clients will benefit from this enhacement if they use weapon binds.

Below I have attached the source of the function (and it's inline macros) that rewrite GetWeapon.
Warning: HUGE UNREALSCRIPT KNOWLEDGE BOMB

You may hop onto and try the GetWeapon commands yourself, pick any CTF/Siege gametype that has LCWeapons and try either default UT weapon names or simply 'Weapon' and you'll notice the difference.

Updated first post.
Test build 2 available.
(forgot to change the building number in binary... oops)

Papercoffee, what forum section do you thing it's appropiate to put this into... it looks more of a patch/extension than a 'mod' or anything

[papercoffee]

Hm... but it's still a "modification" somehow.

I did see only now that this thread is floating in "General Discussions".
I would move it to "Modifications" or better into the coding section?
Dr.Flay what do you think??

[Chamberly]

Modification patch? lol. Because the coding is all behind this anyway.

[papercoffee]

Then... moving it into "Modifications" would be the better solution.

Moved

What's the command line on that server? (ucc bla bla)

===========================================

UPDATED
- Fixed crash when starting the game with an IP as command line (direct server join).
- Fixed bug causing non-redirected maps being unable to be sent.
- Moving brush tracker fixer can be toggled.
- Map list sorting features, very useful if your OS isn't sorting the map list when calling GetMapName() >>> useful for mapvotes.
- Maps marked as not downloadable no longer require a redirect to be sent to clients.

[Chamberly]

Awesome! Will check it out when I get back from work.

Using IP on startup command now works in V3. No crash.
