Saverous' Modding Guide for Newbies

Here I made a working crate for you all. (Ignore boulder_sprite for the factory, I wasn't sure if chest_sprite would work). You throw it, it rolls 1 tile. then it sits in place. I can make Crate kegs and lanterns if you guys want

EDIT: This moves shops off their grid beaware if used in multiplayer.

And heres the shop part

Code:

                  crateboulder; boulder; Entities/Items/CrateBoulder.cfg;
 
Entities/Items/Sprites/Crate.png; d; 0; 16; I don't do a damn thing but sit!; w50;

EDIT:
Heres your swordfight with builders and shops. Any other request?

 

Thats good, you can experiment more on Rooms and Zombies after you get the grasps of the basics

Use this crate shop that i made for the crate sprite. And Mech, can you make it like a blocker, Something that blocks things. And if you could, make it stackable like in real life.

 

I just wanted to note that the gm 'swordfight' and all others were moved into 'rules'.

 

Everyone knows this by now...

 

well. he may want to update it... :argh:

 

never mind. nobody gets it. he should update it.:argh:

 

Update what?! Where should he update? Whats wrong with his locations? Not enough info from "he should update it"

 

No need to update it....

 

Just stacking and easier to climb buildings with it.

I think we should give it to mole for the mole server

 

How is 50w a crate easier then just placing ladders?

 

So if we make the crates somewhat like ladders and yet can float, then we completely create a new item?

 

Wow , Thanks Saverous , This KIND OF makes up for the kitty Slaughtering.

 

Hello, I have tried adding bison to my server. I used the skeleton cfg file and only changed the name and some things like climb_walls= 0 and $name= bison and the cfg is called bison.cfg. I have successfully spawned them and they move towards you aggressively but they cant damage you. Here is the cfg:

Can you tell me what is wrong?

 

I don't understand how to add more classes to sandbox? I got the tent in but not the classes .. HELP!?

 

At the top of the gamemod, it will say something like
teams= XXXXX
you put what ever teams in IE:
Rules/Swordfight/team1.cfg;

Then in the team1.cfg file in whatever file,
edit the classes

You probably change too much of the actions. Sometimes, attack movements are exclusive to a mob

 

1. Change $sprite_factory = zombie_sprite to $sprite_factory = zombieknight_sprite (Don't worry it'll still be a bison.)
2. Then scroll down to u16_attack_hit_frame = 6 and change it to 7.
3. Also I noticed your bisons ball width and height are too small. Change that to f32_ball_width = 24.0 32_ball_height = 24.032_ball_radius = 12.0

It should work now.

 

I tried this and they still do not attack. I Spawned them the same way zombies are spawned and I can make them spawn in a zombie map automatically but they do not attack. Here is ZombieDirector.cfg:

Spoiler: ZombieDirector.cfg

# Zombie Director config file
# $ string
# @ array

# sprite

$sprite_factory =
$ball_factory =
$movement_factory =
$weapon_factory =

# brain

$brain_factory = director_brain

u8_visible_distance_tiles = 0
u8_attack_init_distance_tiles = 0
u16_stuck_tolerance = 0
u8_path_search_style = 1

$attachment_factory =

# general

$name = director
f32_health = 0.25
f32 gib_health = 0.0

s32_difficulty = 20 # starting difficulty

s32_max_zombies_spawned = 10000
# time = 0 - midnight - 255 midnight (default 39-213)
u8_zombie_time_start = 10
u8_zombie_time_end = 213
@$_entitys = Entities/Actors/Zombie.cfg, 2;
Entities/Actors/Bison.cfg, 10;
Entities/Actors/Skeleton.cfg, 1;
Entities/Actors/Wraith.cfg, 15;
Entities/Actors/ZombieKnight.cfg, 40;
Entities/Actors/Greg.cfg, 26;

I did the changes you said and it looks the same just it has bigger physical area. The problem i am having is getting it to attack! Can someone show me their cfg for how they made a bison/zombie arm/zombie chicken work?
Thx

Also, They move towards you just like skeletons and zombies, but they cant damage you.
