JA: Enhanced Code Base

[redsaurus]

For this release very small things…might eventually try to make it more wide-ranging.

[katanamaru]

Then I think you're good. How will the saber edits affect saber blade mods? I really like the one I use.

[redsaurus]

There's a cvar, cg_SFXSabers - if it's 0 then behaviour is as in base.

 

*hoping* to get this out before wednesday

[redsaurus]

Here is an early beta version for Mac/Windows: http://redsaurus.net/stuff/24122013/SP_Customisation.zip

 

It may well not work for you! It works for me, but it crashes for some people (currently not sure why, and I will ofc fix it for the next version).

 

See the readme for installation instructions.

 

Features and Commands

 

• All OpenJK features and fixes.
• RGB Sabers Only one RGB colour is currently supported. This can be set in the menus or by setting the sabercolor to “rgb” in the console, and setting cg_rgb_saber_red, cg_rgb_saber_blue and cg_rgb_saber_green to the desired values between 0 and 255.
• SFX Sabers SFX Sabers can be enabled in the console by setting cg_SFXSabers to 1.
• Headswapping Several new heads are available for the human male and human female species. You can add your own heads - see the .headswap files in the sp_custom.pk3 for examples.
• Extra Player Tints (Unused) Playermodels are able to have multiple tints. If you enter “newPlayerTint 0 <R> <G> <B>”, any shader stages for the player with “rgbGen lightingDiffuseEntity 0” will be tinted to this colour rather than the usual.

Awesome, going to download now!

[Omicron]

Will the SFX sabres also be in regular OpenJK, or only in your SP Customisation one?

[redsaurus]

I doubt they'll be in OpenJK, since they're not really in the scope of the project, but it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to add them to their own copy of the OpenJK code.

[Omicron]

Ok, thanks. Is it easy to add, as in, I could copy and paste the code into it, or would I need to tinker around with a few things to get it to work?

[redsaurus]

These are the two commits for SFX Sabers.

[Omicron]

Ok, thanks. This would probably be the first time I have edited the sourcecode at all, as I have only compiled it

[DarthStiv]

I wonder if it's also possible to "mix" the bodies and other parts of models in a similar way?
And another question-
You know, Scerenity is going to release his new EOC soon as an open- sourced mod like OJK (as a beta- tester I know this for sure), so if it happen would you please do a favor to make your mod work with it?

[redsaurus]

Yes, I just did heads for this release because I thought it work the best - will probably do other stuff in future versions.

 

It shouldn't be too hard to move the changes over to any other modified SP engine.

[Omicron]

Could there also be gender body swaps, cause I would love to make jan fat with rax's body

[redsaurus]

You should already be able to do that with what I've already released, using these "secret" console commands

 

/playermodel rax_joris model_default model_default model_default

/headplayermodel jan default

 

If you want to turn the head swap off without using menus, the command to reset is:

 

/headplayermodel "" ""

[Omicron]

Sweet, I'll try that out tomorrow!

[DarthStiv]

You know, it's impossible to refer to the customization skin files like "head_a1.skin", only default and team skins are available. 
Could you make it possible to select the head just skins?

[ent]

Why so many cvars for RGB sabers? I think /color1 x00FA99 would be better.

I'll do it, not sure if immediately though.

Have started work on doing it *much* better, thanks for that bit of code!

 

Before it only supported one RGB colour, now it supports many. Just need to clean up the UI side of it...

[DarthStiv]

...And what about breaking the limit of 32 items per customizable slot?
Like in OJP Unlimited?

[Omicron]

Will you make a MP version of this?

It's just a question of changing MAX_PLAYERMODELS in code to something bigger, can definitely do that for next release.

Possibly, but I don't know if it's worth it as people would want to be running other client side mods in MP.

Well generally, the most popular clientside mod is ja+(+), and @@Raz0r released the source for that awhile back, but I wouldn't imagine it would be that easy to merge the it with your code, unless I'm mistaken.

[redsaurus]

The SP stuff is definitely my priority for now. Any features I should think about for the next release?

That^ would be kinda nice.

 

• Removing the fov limit
• Having MP movement, or atleast something similar like Razor did on his speedruns
• Enabling lua plugins (JKg and JA++ have this)
• Increasing the number of species, npcs, vehicles, etc allowed

[redsaurus]

cg_fov doesn't seem to have any limits in SP. MP movement as an option might be good…what kind of stuff would be doable with lua?
