1. Thanks

2. I mean, if you are using weapon and then you give it back, is it possible that weapon will use other mesh when it's carried (back) ?

1. No problem


2. Do you mean when it's carried on the player's back?

Yes

Depends on the item, a sword for example would have a sheath on the hip, a musket or pike would not have a different mesh and I do not think that is possible for that kind of weapon item. I could be proven wrong but I have never tested that myself.

Oh, ok. Thanks anyway

 Im trying to do that by putting ("mesh",ixmesh_carry)], to line of that musket. I select mesh what it should use when carried back, but its not using it. It uses the same mesh. It's not possible then or Im doing something wrong

[Kaasovic]

2 handed weapons could use a sheath as well, maybe there is a trigger that could help?

[Dazzer]

What triggers do?

[Kaasovic]

In module_items some of the weapons uses triggers. Like the musketoon:

Code

["russian_gusarskiy_karabin", "Musketoon", [("Russian_gusarskiy_karabin",0)], itp_type_crossbow |itp_merchandise|itp_primary|itp_two_handed|itp_cant_reload_while_moving_mounted|itp_cant_reload_while_moving|itp_next_item_as_melee ,itcf_shoot_musket|itcf_carry_crossbow_back, 
683 , weight(3.0)|difficulty(0)|spd_rtng(18) | shoot_speed(180) | thrust_damage(70 ,pierce)|max_ammo(1)|accuracy(54),imodbits_none,
 [(ti_on_weapon_attack, [
  (this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),
  (neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode),
  (store_trigger_param_1,":agent_id"),
  (eq,":agent_id",":agent_id"), # fix compiler bug warning.
  (copy_position,pos22,pos1),
  (position_move_y,pos22,110),
  (try_for_range,":unused",0,10), #4 extra bullets + 1 original = 10 bullets in one shot :D
    (copy_position,pos23,pos22),
    (store_random_in_range,":x_change",-3,3),
    (store_random_in_range,":z_change",-3,3),
    (position_rotate_x, pos23, ":x_change"),
    (position_rotate_z, pos23, ":z_change"),
    (set_fixed_point_multiplier,100),
    (store_random_in_range,":bullet_speed",12000,16000),
	(store_random_in_range, ":chance", 0, 100),
	(try_begin),
		(gt,":chance",95),
		(add_missile, ":agent_id", pos23, ":bullet_speed", "itm_cannon_explosion_dummy", 0, "itm_explosive_bullets", 0),
	(else_try),
		(add_missile, ":agent_id", pos23, ":bullet_speed", "itm_cannon_canister_dummy", 0, "itm_canister_ammo", 0),
	(try_end),
  (try_end),
  ])]],[/spoiler]

So one of the triggers is 'ti_on_item_unwielded', you might be able to do something with it. For example add a imaginary item etc

Thanks for explaining

Hey guys, does anyone know how to make proper normal/bumpmaps??? I use paint.net and can't find any good plugins.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to make proper normal/bumpmaps??? I use paint.net and can't find any good plugins. 

I'm using a Bumpmap plugin for Paint.net. Isn't professional but works.
I'll try and get you the link.

I still need a specularmap plugin though.

This is the one I use: http://paint.net.amihotornot.com.au/features/effects/plugins/color/Normal_Map/

Here is a tricky one
the is_admin
player is admin
neg is admin

Am i right in saying that the is admin checks can only be done by server?

This is not for any operations or commands to be performed, but i have a clientside message which alerts me on any server when my friends have logged on, similar to how skype says so and so has logged on

The problem is, it alerts me when every single person logs on, but i wanted it to be that it only triggers the has logged on message when it is my admin friends

But setting an is admin check, it seems that check is against me, not against the person it is announcing
How would it be possible to set an is admin check so that the string the admin has joined will only show if its an admin

This is my script so you know what i mean, as you can see this is purely a clientside alert on any server it tells me when players log on.


(1,0,0,[],[
(try_for_range, ":player_no", 1, 250),
  (player_is_active, ":player_no"),
  (player_slot_eq, ":player_no", slot_player_join_time, 0),    (player_set_slot, ":player_no", slot_player_join_time, 1),
    (str_store_player_username, s3,":player_no"),
  (display_message, "@ {s3} the admin has joined !", 0xFF33CC),

(try_end),
]),

I have got new problem. I don't know what happend. My gloves just changed and now they look like this


Any idea what is that and what could be cause of it?

[Earth Bby]

missing texture, mainly spec

[Dazzer]

But I added specular texture

[The Mighty McLovin]

Have you merged it with any other meshes?

[Dazzer]

Have you merged it with any other meshes?

no

[The Mighty McLovin]

Can you show me a screenshot of it open in OpenBRF?

[Dazzer]

Can you show me a screenshot of it open in OpenBRF?

It looks perfect in OpenBRF. But in-game it's really ugly
