I'm using the paintball engine for a game Im making based off action quake 2, called Crimson Elite . If someone gets a chance can they help setup the serverlist, cause i dont want any servers showing up in the dpball serverlist, and when i goto Play>>>Start New Game, the map selection is messed up.
-
As you can see i have to update the skins. I removed most of the items in the HUD

-
Very nice, but isnt there a game named SOCOM already?
-
you mean socom for ps2? Yea, i guessed i should change it. how about Navy Seals? if anyone has any ideas, I would like to hear them, as you can see its going to be a military shooter. Jitspoe, would it be possible to get my hands on the code for gamemodes and entities.
-
Umm.. its pretty good maybe work a bit more on the hands though maxpower.
-
I know, i said i had to update the skins with the paintball colormap.
-
Oh ok sorry I thought you were talking about from other peoples prospective.
-
No prob

Sounds like memory is getting corrupted or overwritten somewhere. What all have you changed? Just the media? You migth have a corrupt file somewhere. It looks like you're using pcx files from action quake 2. Maybe re-save them as jpeg's.
-
I'll give it a shot. What about this?
(http://www.tipsyhitman.net/maperror.JPG)
-
That's fixed in build 18.
-
You should check out the Quake 2 Evolved engine, it has some pretty neat stuff like dpball has. I'm using it to play Spook's dpball demos and make videos of them since the game looks a bit better in it. =P
-
That's fixed in build 18.
Is the source released for 18? or will it be? or can you email the code to fix it. By the way, the jpeg thing fixed the debug error. Thanks.
Jits, how can i fix the skins? I got wally, how would i fix the coloring?
-
I had the source posted on sourceforge but not on the files page. There should be a link on the files page now.
As for the skins, just stay away from paletted files. Just use jpeg or tga. There's no reason to use pcx anymore.
-
What file fixed the bug? i dont want to use build 18 right now, otherwise i have to setup a login system for it and I dont have all the resources for it right now.
For the hud, it doesn't draw it if the value of it is 0. Is there some code that code fix this? As you can see Jits, the jpg didnt fix the skin problem. I deleted the pcx file for it so it didnt load it.
(http://www.tipsyhitman.net/skin%20ammo.JPG)
-
cl_hudstyle 0.
As for the skin problem, you're using the wrong palette. You should probably make your own media anyway, instead of taking it from other Quake2 mods.
-
Ok, well im not good with skins, if anyone wants to help with that let me know.
-
What do you know, i fixed the problem.
To Do:
Fix the HUD images
Get the site up for it
Get the 1st build released
(http://www.tipsyhitman.net/update.JPG)
-
Just a quick thought.
You might want to think about changing the name unless you want to get sued. :)
-
Ok thanks for the info, i changed it to Crimson Elite
-

Build 1? Hacks? ;D
-
Jits, where does it check the version? i want to comment it out so i can launch it without using +game elite in the command line
-
The directory name is defined on qcommon/qcommon.h
#define BASEDIRNAME "pball"All you need to do is change BASEDIRNAME to elite.
-
i did this, but its checking the build number somewhere. so i changed it to 18 for now and it works.
-
Oh, sorry. You'll want to change on qcommon/files this:
Cvar_FullSet("gamedir", "pball", CVAR_SERVERINFO|CVAR_NOSET, true); // jit, always display gamedir as "pball"
Cvar_FullSet("game", "pball", CVAR_LATCH|CVAR_SERVERINFO, true); // jitinstead of pball, make that elite.
-
Hey maxpower is this game going to be paintball or just a regular shooter with bullets?
Edit:I think the new skins are pretty cool good job.
-
Its a shooter with bullets. Its not paintball at all. Im just using the engine.
Edit
Jitspoe, i fixed the start new game menu :D
-
Are you just modifing the client and using the DP2 gamex86 dll? or are you using another mod's gamex86 dll? because if you're using DP2's you wont be able to modify it too much, since the source for it is not open.
-
Its a shooter with bullets. Its not paintball at all. Im just using the engine.
The only paintball thing im using is the engine, im not using the gamex86.dll, i got my own source
-
Something is messed up with the hud. i dont know if its the engine source (cl_scores.c) messing it up or the game source (p_hud.c)
-
That happens to me when using a quake2 gamex86, but I think it only happened when showing the scores.
-
Thats what i meant, is there anyway to fix it?
I was looking at the ejecting brass code, and It wasnt to good in the game so after some coding and remodeling. I got it looking alot better.
(http://tipsyhitman.net/elite/brass.JPG)
I got my other computer setup, and my bro and me tested it out. Its pretty sweet.
-
How can i make the linux files so i can get dedicated servers?
-
Send me your source. XD
-
Wow Max, that's looking pretty good.
-
Send me your source. XD
Yea him or me. :)
-
emails?
Wow Max, that's looking pretty good.
Yea, my bro and me were playing before. We couldn't stop. Its addicting.
I found that the scoreboard when you do teams works fine, but not in deathmatch. *Fixed* Also, i got some code for a flashlight but when i goto the console and type the command in it doesnt work. *Fixed*
-
Send me your source. XD
Yea him or me. :)
just the gamex86? or all of it?
*Edit*
In the engine, does it give a vwep or is that all in the mod? Cause the vwep isnt working. They are holding an invisible gun
-
Send me all of it.
-
email? pm me it
In the console im getting a gl_findimage cant load "models/weapons/g_dual/skin"
The image is there
-
I'd love running around on castle1 with an AK-47... Wow, thats really sweet.
[+]
-
Well there is no AK.... yet...
If someone can help me fix the vwep problem, i can release the first version.
-
If you're using your own gamex86 dll, then it shouldn't be doing the version check.
-
I fixed that problem. But the deathmatch scoreboard and vwep is still messed up.
-
The DM scoreboard has to do with the hud scaling. That particular scoreboard layout positions each letter instead of using strings, but the positions don't take into account the hud scale, so they end up getting scrunched together. cl_hudscale 1 will "fix" it, but it will make your font and hud icons really tiny. It sohuld be possible to account for it in the code, too. Maybe somewhere around the DrawChar functions or something with the configstring parsing.
-
cl_hudscale 1, "fixed" it. Anyway to do the scale to just the scoreboard?
-
Of course there's a way...
But you'd have to code it. :P
-
Of course there's a way...
But you'd have to code it. :P
Ok :(
Think i can get the DeathmatchScoreboardMessage code from the paintball source? I want something to base it off.
-
That didnt take long to fix, well rewrite. Now to find the problem with vwep.
-
I just e-mailed you the 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.

-
Ok thanks. I fixed some major bugs tho after emailing you that. I found a bug tho. After a few map changes the textures get screwed up. and start using images from the pics folder.
-
build_dedicated was set to no, so I set it to yes to build the dedicated server, but I get this:

Engine Feature Added:
Hud Clock - cl_drawclock
adding a transparent effect to the console
I aligned it with fps now, so it looks better
-
nice mp5, hey be original with this one... if you use an AK, use the AK-74... so much cooler and more accurate
-

Roger That. I need someone to skin the model for it.

Original-ish, after all it's what they used in Soldier of Fortune 2.

You could just model and skin an ak-47 and call it a 74.
-
sof2 owns, lol
-
Yeah it does.
Your game is looking good, I hope you can manage to make it legally redistributable. Right now it's kinda reminding me of Action Quake, but that's not that bad of a thing, even if it's not that original it's still a great game idea that works well.
-
The AK-74 is all black with a longer barrel
-
Ahh, I always thought that was the AKS-74.
-
Engine Feature Added:
3rd person - cl_3dcam
-
Nice, these features are goo. Most of these are why I suggested that you use something like the Quake 2 Evolved project or the latest icculus quake2 for this project of yours, so you don't need to do as much work to get it into a realistic shooter, dpball is paintball =P
And I think that bbox doesn't fit the model well, he's gonna knock his head off or wallhax through that tunnel.
You also may consider getting a free forum of your own to post this stuff on, some people are here just for the paintball and might be hating on your project.
-
I got a site, tipsyhitman.net. I just haven't got it setup for the game, Ill do that today.
-
Looks good maxpower but maybe take out the grey boxes around the symbols. By the way nice 3rd person.
-
I think he's fine having it here, after all the community here knows a lot about quake 2 and playing good FPS games.
If it was a big problem, it could always be moved to other stuff
-
Well i think the major stuff is going to be posted on my site, and ill just keep you guys informed on here just not into detail.
I was going to do a alpha channel around the symbols, but im not the best with gimp or photoshop.
well since the first post about adding ak ive been trying to model one, i was up almost all night and today i finished working on it. But here is the ak model i made. I hope you guys like it, put alot of time into, had my friend skin it.
-
Ok i got the ak in the game, just have to make a hud icon for it and set the reload and stuff in the code.
-
Looking good :)
-
Ak-74 man... model it off my airsoft gun, the other 74's in google have POS stocks.

Come on man, i have it done already, unless you want to do it.
-
Can u send me the map?
-
Map?
-
I believe he's referring to the map in the last screenshot.
-
oh, its a map for action quake, called "actdam".
The ak-47 now works 100%
-
when i use any skins from players/male/ i get this error
-
Nice AK I don't think I could ever design something that good.
-
Hey, where are you getting the models from? Or did you make them?
-
the mp5, mk23, m4, sniper, and stuff were from aq2, but i made the ak
-

Kinda sounds like a game of CS.
-
Yea kinda
-

Haha I just remembered, you're the one who originally suggested the AK-47

:P

curses... the 74 is cooler though.
-

Haha that entire thread is funny, especially where Darkness says:
How is he going to make a video game if he can't find a menu?
Crimson's come along pretty far, I'd say so.
Another funny thing is that Max says he can't afford CS in that post, but the other day he told me he was leaving to play CS with his brother. :P
-
I got cs now :P
-
source, CZ or 1.6?
-
I think he told me 1.6, it's been a while since I talked to him, but Max, any update on crimson elite? It was loookin' good.
-
Not really, I have been busy, plus im getting surgery in a week, so ill be out for a week, unless they got wireless. I got cz and 1.6
-
Good luck with the surgery :D
-
CZ was only good when i had a buddy who ran a 24/7 de_wallmart server. On 1.6 try to filter search the map, it's by far the best thing you'll ever play.
Hope your surgery goes well, btw what is it for?
Game looks nice, and i hope you pick up the slack *cracks whip*
-
I get a metal bar put in my chest
-
Ouch. :'(
-
That's not surgery, it's seppuku.
-
Its surgery, cause the bar is going to fix a thing with my chest. It sucks cause i have to be there at 6:30am this tuesday. I get my new computer parts friday. So i wont have much time to take it for a test drive since ill be in the hospitial for 7-10 days
My new system
AMD 3200 2.2ghz
764mb of ddr ram (will be 1.5 once i get the package)
I know its not new stuff, but im not complaining since it cost me nothing :D Plus its better then what i have now.
1.2ghz intel celeron
256mb pc133
Anyone got a video card laying around they could send me or a new power supply ;)
-
Update: Im working on http download right now. I got all the code down, just need to compile it and see if it works :D I need to reinstall visual c++, but i cant find my cds. i got the product code.
-
Well sounds like it's coming along well then?
-
I need to reinstall visual c++, but i cant find my cds. i got the product code.
Torrents
-
I got it, im going to wait till tomorrow after i upgrade and reinstall windows. No point in installing it today and reinstalling it tomorrow.
-
Torrents
Kilo, not evey answer to getting software is torrents...
Using torrents would be pointless since he obviously has the cd's, and if he didnt he could just use the express edition. free, and compiles quake engines just fine.
-
I got visual c++ reinstalled. And i cleaned the game folder up. got rid of all the paintball models etc. and maps and textures. Going to need some beta testers, and someone to make a few maps. I also had an idea for making a VIP gamemode, but i would need some help with coding, if you want to help in any of these fields, pm me your email addy, aim sn, or msn.
I also need some help building the gamex86 for linux, i have a computer with linux on it, i can compile the engine and dedicated.
EDITED
I got everything to compile on linux, thanks to my bro.
-
Beta Server up and running.
-
Alright I'd be glad to help and check your PMs.
-
I added you on msn.
Can someone help me setup a master serverlist.? i got a website and stuff. ( that guy who hosts it is my clan leader :P so if i need need to get a server up for it or something he can do it)
-
I was wondering what major differences there were between the crimson elite engine, and the paintball engine, or are they just the same game with different models. Also i know a little sumin sumin bout programming and i would love to be a beta tester for you. ;D
-
Well it's got more entities also it has different gameplay and the menus are quite different you can change your uniforms but I'm not sure about the rest also if anyone wants to make any suggestions comments or whatever go to #crimsonelite I'm on a fair bit I'm hoping to get a bot in there soon also.
-
I didnt make many changes to the engine.
-
i was wondering what you compiled the crimson elite source in so in case i do end up helping i can at least have a compatible compiler.
-
visual c++ 6
