Plutonium

In that perk limit script, there is only one significant line, the rest don't mean anything.
So maybe just transfer that one significant line (level.perk_purchase_limit = 9;) into that other script you're trying to use.

Nice project for sure, but, and I hate to say it, I don't really see any reason why this would be used over a normal program that does this, and is quite frankly does it a lot better. I'm not even seeing regex support and looking at the source very quickly, I don't think the gui will even be responsive while searching and searching might be quite inefficient.

Maybe try to think of some features that make sense for gsc specifically, since anything that's related to just normal text searching has already been done by others, and done way better than anyone who browses this forum could do.
I can't think of too many ideas for you, but one thing that sometimes annoys me a bit, is encountering some custom gsc function they call, and then I have to search where the function is defined so I understand what's happening.
That process could be made easy.

Wouldn't toggle that on self since it's not player specific.
Toggle it on level.

Cahz said in Code for distance meter for trickshots?:

Ox_ Okay so if one CoD world unit is 2.54cm, then you would actually divide by 39.37.

2.54 cm = 1 unit

100 cm = 39.3700 units = 1 m

Well actually you'd divide by 5000/127, but maybe just multiply by 0.0254, be easier.

5000/127 is literally 39.37... which works totally fine by the way. So no need to multiply

It's not, but sure, it's close enough for most uses.

One CoD world unit is 2.54cm.
And for distance, an easy way is just in compare distance between the attacker and self (player who's about to get killed) in e.g the level.callbackplayerkilled function.

Ox_ It means he donated to the project.

Should be named something else I think.
Contributor sounds like would've contributed something in making of the client.
Like Github contributor. That's the first thing I think of.

How is this dude a "contributor" lmfao.
What does that even mean.

I'd assume you probably never define self.snl? You should define it before using it.
Also toggling it on/off every time the player spawns in doesn't sound very good to me.

Studying how the actual game works, in gsc, is very useful as well.
And also allows you to do all kinds of cool stuff, like replace some behavior when something happens, or maybe re-use some of the gsc that's already in the game so you don't need to custom make everything.

The stickied post in here has a download to a gsc dump. Then also get get some program that searches for text from inside multiple files. Useful when you're looking for something specific, or want to see where some function is defined, where it's called, etc etc etc. Been using "AstroGrep" myself to do this.

Maybe show code?
Not quite sure what sort of answers you expect with the current state of your question.

Seems like good stuff.
Btw, are you sure you don't break Mob of the Dead by overriding level.round_prestart_func?
That map has custom logic in that function.

No, I'm taking about the coding part

I see.
Well good luck with with the learning

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

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.

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

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)
https://imgur.com/gallery/BH4k3C7

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.

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

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

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.

Yes it was, and will always be. Also just pushed a big update.

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.

}

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

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.
