[Release] [GSC] Zombies Custom Powerup | Unlimited Ammo

[Ox_]

JezuzLizard said in [GSC] Zombies Custom Powerup | Unlimited Ammo:

Ox_ Plutonium is a custom bo2 client that supports 8 player dedicated zombie servers on all maps. It doesn't support GSC injection and instead uses its own modloader similar to Redacted so dedicated servers can load custom GSC mods. The GSC modloader feature is relatively new so it seems to have some interesting behavior sometimes. Eg. your old code not working but your new code does for some reason that I'll look into at some point.

I recommend you try Plutonium sometime since it has a more active playerbase than steam bo2, you can actually find games for all maps usually.

Also, I used your mod as a base to add a few extra powerups in the game files as drops like, the bonus team points, perk bottle, and random weapon. So thanks for the new version again.

Last thing, is it possible for a world at war nacht der untoten style powerup display for the infinite ammo powerup? I think it would it say Infinite Ammo: 20 and tick down from 20 at the bottom of the screen.

Yeah I know what Plutonium is/does, just didn't know what quirks are related to hosting a server and loading custom gsc, thanks.
And about the old code not working, which map did you try? the old code didn't work in Buried & Origins, as described in the Original post. The delayed registering of the custom powerup pickup function fixed that.

And cool that you added some stuff, maybe post it here if you want to share. Some other people might want to use them as well. Maybe I would use it as well next time I play zombies with my friends.

And about having a countdown or whatever to indicate when the powerup ends.
It most certainly is possible, but really cba right now at least. Already spend a few hrs trying to get the native style powerup hud to work via clientfields (as is done in the original game gsc), but every time I just errored out with client field mismatch error, and I have no idea why. So I lost motivation.

The reason why I didn't at the very first go for drawing text on the screen, is because I don't remember from on top of my head how to draw 100% safe text. Been years and years since I properly did gsc (good old Xbox 360 RGH days). Would be super pissed if the game crashed due to an overflow on like round 40 or whatever.
I guess like an iprintln would be safe to use. Looks maybe quite stupid though.
If you want an iprintln solution, and don't know how to make it yourself, I can make it for you.

OP is your code on the main post the latest changes of the GSC? I have been thinking about merging this to RG server along with unlimited perks etc. I just wanted to make sure before I push it live.

[Jon_Trollsten]

Tried improving the code, added ambient sound when powerup is active, and iprintin message about powerup being picked up and being ended. I also tried drawing a hud powerup icon but it doesn't work.
I also removed zombie blood code because it wasn't working.

			Remaining.alpha = 0;
			level.unlimited_ammo_active = false; //sets this to false in order to allow the timer to start again
			break;
		}
	}
}

Basically instead of destroy() I just turn it transparent so it avoids creating too many strings over time or any for that matter beyond one. Obviously this isn't future proofed so if more custom powerups are added it will be awkward to have them all stack using this method.

edit: I will post the other powerups I teased in a previous post in its own topic when I get them working correctly on all maps.

Oh man, I actually just got around making some improvements myself. Made my own hud and made it act pretty much like a normal powerup's hud does. So it shows an icon and starts blinking at 10sec and faster at 5sec.
Gonna finish it up and record a vid about it and then post it here, stay tuned haha.

I'll check your version out later as well and can probably put it to the OP.

Also, going to test if my thing is safe by spawning in like 1000 of these powerups on me and seeing what happens :'-D

The zombie blood was working as intended. Did you read the comments about it?
It wasn't supposed to add the zombie blood powerup to all maps, just make it functional in Origins. Your current code overwrites the custom powerup pickup function and it doesn't include zombie blood so the powerup is broken in your code.
My latest version right now uses a better way of not breaking zombie blood though, check the edit in OP.

And not bad with the raygun sound. I would probably use it if I wasn't too used to knowing that sound means someone got it from the random box. Do you have a list of sounds? All I have nowadays is what I find from Google, and wasn't able to find anything good.

Also I decided not to add that ambient sound to my latest version. I tried your stuff and literally could not hear a thing. So I don't see the point. Maybe if there was some good sound, but well, don't know of one.

And about your hud, the biggest problem with it is that you set it to be fully transparent alpha = 0. So yeah, can't really see it haha.
See my latest version in OP though, I added a hud.

And you can't wait inside the unlimited_ammo_powerup() function. Right now in your code the first player gets the powerup and then 30seconds later the second player gets the powerup, etc.

Also I decided not to take the waittill("weapon_fired") approach, since it's no good if you swap to a weapon that would have to reloaded, or if you're out of ammo. And also, setting the current clip to be full every .05sec is literally nothing in gsc. So I don't see any point bothering to implement proper logic for handling it with waittills.

And yeah, I guess 30sec duration is good. First I thought it's a bit too much, but meh, whatever, I'll make it be that.

Btw, "Bottomless Clip", love the name haha.
I added that in, thanks.

JezuzLizard latest version is up now.
I'll check out your version tomorrow probably and see about adding it to the OP as well.

Ox_ I literally was just gonna post my source of my new power-up I cobbled together and I noticed you updated your source guess I'll have to go through it. but ill still post an images of the power-up next to yours.

Pictures (sorry for the gigantic pics before lol)

I think you get the idea, it's the Pack-A-Punch power up!
It paps your gun! Oh and I used the teddy bear model because I couldn't find a pap.

Good stuff. Would like to see your implementation of the countdown, always interesting to see what sort of approaches other people have taken.
About the powerup itself, sounds quite overpowered to me haha. Would need some balancing done to it for sure.

If you're up for a challenge, try to balance the powerup.
What I'd look into myself, is changing its spawning chance based on in what stage of the game players are.
E.g. really rare to spawn in unless pap is legitmately accessible as well. Also based on how much money the player has.
And if players are really late game, could spawn it in quite commonly just for fun. In such a case I wouldn't use the normal way of spawning them in though. You wouldn't want to consume the limit of powerups per round and push chances of max ammo off powerup array.
I guess same could be said about adding any custom powerup, it always makes max ammo more rare. I didn't see this is a problem with unlimited ammo though, since it should be quite good at high rounds and you also fill up your current clip at least.

[GroverFox]

Really like this and hope someday to learn how to do it.

If you're just looking to use it, there's a download the precompiled .gsc you can use.
How you use this .gsc depends a bit. If you're looking to use it on a Plutionum server, they have a tutorial stickied in here.
If not on a Plutonium server, you can Google for a tutorial on how to inject it to Steam/Redacted.

[GroverFox]

No, I'm taking about the coding part

@colorz808 said in [Release] [GSC] Zombies Custom Powerup | Unlimited Ammo:

Ox_ Are you going to make more custom power ups? I would like to see a perk bottle powerup that gives a perk to all players that leads to gaining all 7 perks on any map or perhaps a pack o punch powerup to upgrade your gun for maps like bus depo or farm that don't have a pack o punch machine. I've used your Unlimited Ammo Powerup and I enjoy it alot when I host my server. Great Work

Guess I could make more. Just seriously lost motivation when I made the nice shader at the bottom of the screen for the powerup timer and all, just to notice it doesn't work for all maps.

Ideas are appreciated though, the more complex, the more interesting it is (but that could also result in cba, haha)
And I don't think I quite understand what your first idea is. Just normal perk bottle powerup, but it also increases the perk cap? Or?
And for pack-a-punch, seems like Knight made it already, here's his post. Maybe he could share it.

[Optimus X]

Thanks for the info on Knight already making the pap powerup i'll see if he can share but for the perk powerup I was thinking can give perks like flopper etc that are not originally in the map like town or farm. Everytime they grab the perk bottle it gives everyone one random free perk but it's random between 8 perks like the wunderfizz machine on origins

[JezuzLizard]

@colorz808 This isn't possible yet not without mod tools. The actual perks aren't on the fast file the map loads so if you do try to give say "specialty_flakjacket" which is flopper the game will crash.

Modding is currently limited to whatever is actually on the fast file, if its not on the fast file already and its not a script its not possible. It is possible to bring over scripts from other maps and use their functions in any map but with varying results.

[Optimus X]

Thanks for the information. Hopefully in the future it's possible.

[Knight]

@colorz808 and Ox_ I'll gladly share my code, to be totally honest it wan't that hard to make the pack a punch perk I used code from Rezhified credit to him for the pap code here is the code:

#include maps\mp\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\mp\gametypes_zm\_hud_util;
#include maps\mp\gametypes_zm\_hud_message;

//important include
#include maps\mp\zombies\_zm_powerups;
#include maps\mp\zombies\_zm_weapons;

//making the code seperate for the Pack-A-Punch Power-Up to make it less confusing.
//but they could be merged as I've done before.

//Credits
// to _Ox for the original code, also thanks for the notes it was really helpful.
// and to Rezhified for the pack-a-punch code.

I was trying to figure out how to put something in to stop the perk from being spawned in at low rounds but couldn't figure it out. Maybe someone could figure it out. Thanks again Ox_ for making your code public, your an amazing coder. Would love to see this being used in servers especially if a round limiter is implemented.

Well looks like I left the func_should_drop_past_level() function in by mistake it should work now, but will always drop sorry about that.

[Optimus X]

Knight Thank You, Knight. I will use this when I host my server. Be perfect for farm and bus depot. Wish I knew how to get those map working correctly on my server. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated
