I respect your creativity, but it would suck. Flying a ship inside another ship? There's barely enough space for a longsword to turn let alone do as you described. And if it was to continue the 10km long BS run, it would just seem 10 times more obvious that that hallway cannot possible fit inside POA.

Longswords are only inside the hangars. If you got in one, the only place to go is right through the exit. Even if the longsword could somehow fly through the ship, the entire run would last, what, 10 seconds at most?

I can confirm wraith boarding will be in :).

I love you.

I am sorry, but have you been not reading the thread?

Seriously, I even posted it:



However, Open Sauce is required for Multi-Team vehicles. So yes, The Open Sauce DLL is required, but it isn't a program par-say.

(unit_kill (unit (list_get (vehicle_riders aa_ext_wraith_1) 0)))
(sleep 10)
(unit_exit_vehicle (unit (list_get (players) 0))))


Is the script if anyone is wondering.
Apparently I got a random exception when doing the effect, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with a bitmap or sound not loaded into memory fast enough when a script calls it.

Translation.

(script name is wraithboardingz
(player can't move)
(AI don't try to shoot the player, or even bother looking at him)
(play boarding animation)
(sleep 3 and a third seconds)
(play effect)
(AI look at player again)
(player can move again)
)

(script name is aa_ext_wraith_1_board
(sleep until the player is in the wraith's boarding seat)
(run the wraith boarding script above)
(kill the wraith driver)
(sleep a third of a second)
(player exits vehicle)
)

He's Codebrain, not Donut. It even says "Original message by: Codebrain"

Hurray! My disguise of Donut's Avatar is working! This brings a new advantage to the war to protect Donut's Avatar!

Edit: Vern if you can't understand that, then I dunno how you would ever be able to script :|

Not trying to be rude, but that is about as simple as it can get. Sorry.

It's in Yoyorast Island , if you're talking about the secret message at the bottom of the 1km tunnel.

Actually, the exception might be coming from 'unit_kill' referring to a non-existent unit, which happens at the same time as the effect in the script. I know that causes exceptions because I once scripted a player kill script that was supposed to kill players that weren't in a trigger volume. I got an exception right on startup because I didn't check whether the player was in the game first and it tried to kill a non-existent player.

Same thing might be happening here with the 'vehicle_riders' list. HS_doc makes it look like the command returns all occupants in the vehicle, but I think it returns all passengers, and it looks like you want the driver to die there. Since there aren't any passengers, unit_kill might be trying to kill nothing and gives an exception. I might be wrong though. I'm not sure myself whether it's passengers or all occupants. I'll have to test it sometime.

But just in case I actually guessed right, try replacing (unit (list_get (vehicle_riders aa_ext_wraith_1) 0)) with just (vehicle_driver aa_ext_wraith_1) or (unit (vehicle_driver aa_ext_wraith_1)) and see if that gets rid of the exception.

Worth a shot, I was planning on doing that anyway with some vehicles that have biped drivers to clear up scriptspace if I needed to. The thing I if I run 20 tests, about 17 of them will work fine. Same map, same scenario, same encounter, same script.

Boarding with the risk of exceptioning?
=S
Masterz , on your broadcast when you intended to show boarding , is that fixed yet?

so if you are on 1.08, you can board, but if you'rwe not, you can't board?
and can someone give me a link to this open sauce DLL?

E: THIS IS SPARTA!!!11!1!

Xfire won't plug into Halo. Sapien crashes every time when the dll is in use.

You can just use IGMs MTV app, OS is to buggy and incompatible with too many programs for my taste.

Where is this "MTV" app? I never seen it before.

so where do i put this d3d9.dll?

which ever one benefits the game more is alright with me



you put it in your haloce directory.
Edited by The Barron on Jun 22, 2009 at 11:32 PM

Put in the Halo Custom Edition folder.

Here, let me take a shot at explaining it...

I'm not an expert on this or anything, so what I said might not be 100% accurate. I can say it's not a parenthesis error (one or two stray open ones, or one closed when there wasn't one open to begin with) unless I miscounted.

Thank God I copied/pasted, my login timed out trying to write this... =/

Read the last page.

Edit: And if it was a parentheses error, then the scripts wouldn't compile.
Edited by Gamma927 on Jun 22, 2009 at 11:51 PM

I know someone tried to explain it on the last page, but the person said they were still confused.

Anyway, as I said I don't know about the whole script thing, so that's why I suggest it...

Back on topic... Does the player physically have to beat down the enemy like in Halo 2/3? Or is it an automatic thing? (the player regains control over MC before the "unit_kill" command is given, so this could be what happens)

The script says that it plays a custom animation, so that means that it's all automatic.

masters1337 is in the xfire live broadcast room, but it froze firefox repeatedly.

Upgrade to IE8.

If any of you are as stupid as me and are up at 4:17 AM I'm going to be broadcasting a bit since I just got all ghost_front and wraith boarding scripts integrated into a30 :). Ghost_back boarding is a maybe for the mod, but I'm fairly sure there won't be any banshee jacking at all. To many limitations with scripting and there is no way i'm going through the trouble to attempt to get them in a30.

Why don't you disable ghost jacking and enable banshee jacking? It's too easy to kill the ghost's driver, even the AI could do it. But since it's done I'll keep my silence.

Why? :?

We've only had one other campaign series before this.

If anything this is more of SPV4. I consider this to be the 4th version of our SP mod.

SPV1 is the one released.
SPV2 is the mod around the time of H2V
SPV3 is with most of the guns and high end art.
SPv4 is what we have now with the BSPs.

Banshee jacking won't be in because it's incredibly hard to board, and we decided boarding one will only take it down, not give you control over it. The script space is better off being used on ghosts.

So does that mean Dennis and all the other guys were wrong?

With what exactly were they wrong with?

Seriously, they got to SPv4 without releasing SPv2!

Did you guys take time just to learn the Halo scripting? I mean I've worked with some code before and I understood that code before, but only after they explained it. I haven't even tried to make anything in Halo CE yet (sure, call me a noob I really don't care. i'm not going to have a complex or anything). I really would like to learn if there's an easy way to learn it.

Read a few tutorials, understand the basic structure of a script, and then play around with the scripting bible for commands.
