Two Jetpack Mods

[Botdra]

Howdy. Had a couple jetpack mods I wanted done, but my modding abilities are in other areas, and this is outisde my area of expertise.

 

1) Unlimited jetpack. Pretty self-explainitory. I imagine some small scripting would get the job done?

2) New jetpack model(s) using one from the JangoVM or BobaVM packs? Obviously permission would need to be given first, and then just replace the model with the VM version(s) I'm guessing? Doesn't sound hard in theory but I could be wrong.

 

Thanks for reading.

You can have the unlimited jet in MB2 Full Authentic mode by adding some classflags. There are also new jetpack models in mb2

Yes, but I'm looking for these to be standalone mods. Any tips on how to make that possible? I'd rather not just copy/paste from the MBII assets either.

#1 - remove jetpack fuel drain from code

#2 - isolate jetpack and remove it from the model. Retag the model.

#1 - Mmmm, a bit more complicated than I thought. If I found it in the code wouldn't I have to release the mod in a .pk3 that has the whole code in it just so I can change one parameter?

#2 - Is this something I can do by editing some .txt files or do I need a modeling program?

[eezstreet]

#1 - yes

#2 - modelling program required

sorry if this is dumb... but couldnt u just make a jetpack model... rig it as a vehicle... and edit the .veh file to get it to fly so its just a vehicle?

[AshuraDX]

hm interesting idea but I doubt that'd work animation wise

@@ChalklYne we should try that someday buddy....

Yup. Controls would be screwy though

[ChalklYne]

awesome. i will dabble with that on my off time in between all this other crap

 

im sure with the pitch and yawspeed and things like that i can get it moderately controllable

[Botdra]

#1 - yes

#2 - modelling program required

 

#1 - And would that be rather large? And how easy would it be to do?

As a vehicle I don't think it would work very well since there isn't a vehicle that behaves in a way in which something like say a helicopter behaves where it travels up and down. Another huge hurdle would be the driver, it wouldn't show the model and if it did he'd be in the root pose since the only vehicle class that will show the model of the pilot is the tauntaun class. You'd have a jetpack that flew like an x-wing and had an invisible player controlling it.

 

Better to just make a new model and fix the missing model for when the jetpack is dropped and yes, it's already possible in lugormod to have the jetpack as a droppable item that anyone can use, it's just missing a model that shows it in world so it appears as a rgb colored transform gizmo.

All of removing one line of code:

ent->client->ps.jetpackFuel -= amount;

I'm paraphrasing here of course.

Right, so the only issue would learning to understand the code first, heh. Oh well... perhaps another day. Cheers man.
