Ok, I fixed all the code. It turns out there was some missing/faulty code in client.h which was causing problems. Thanks for all the help guys. I still have one more problem though. It seems I need the SDL2 thing that yall were talking about. I get an error when I try to start the game saying "The program can't start because SDL2.dll is missing from your computer". How do I install it exactly? I know where to download the file, just not what to do with it. Do I put it somewhere on my computer, or combine it with my source code somehow? EDIT: Oh wow. I just put SDL2.dll into my gamedata folder and that was it.

You could probably swap the models... -
Version 0.5

A force lightning mod. There are tons of these around, but I wanted to make my own version with some slightly altered features. Changes: - new image for Force Lightning from JK2 I believe (I think it looks more snazzy) - less lightning bolts drawn on screen at any given time, however individual bolts are slightly thicker (meant to make individual bolts feel more "powerful", also just for a cleaner looking lightning effect) - the orb(s) the lightning comes out of are a bit smaller to be in better proportion to the lightning bolts - optional ambient lighting effects for force lightning (the lighting that appears on the ground/walls/ceiling around the lightning bolts) - choice between different colors of force lightning PK3 packages: (explanation of what the ending suffixes mean) B - Blue Lightning. No ambient light. BL - Blue Lightning. Yes ambient light. BP - Blue Lightning for levels one and two of the force power. Purple lightning for level three of the power. No ambient light. BPL - Blue Lightning for levels one and two of the force power. Purple lightning for level three of the power. Yes to ambient light. P - Purple Lightning. No ambient light. PL - Purple Lightning. Yes ambient light. I felt that in the Base JA effect and in most lightning effect mods out there, that there were too many lightning bolts drawn on screen at once. Rather, I thought the individual lightning bolts should seem more powerful, rather than the power of the lightning seeming to come from 30+ bolts on the screen at once, and I thought it looks too messy with that many bolts anyway. The image for the lightning is borrowed from JK2 I believe which is purple by default. I borrowed a couple images from a mod on jk2files.com called "New Lightning Effects" but since jk2 files is down I can't check to see who the author was. I'm pretty sure though all he did was color the JK2 lightning effects blue. I'll probably release a full version of this with more polish, like more lightning styles and some improvement on the look and color of the ambient lighting, but honestly I've tinkered with this for so long I just wanted to finally release something. -
I tried those things (deleting my local repository and re-cloning, using the latest versions of the problem files from OpenJK, rerunning CMake). Didn't seem to work. I saw the downloads there. The download just seems to be a dll file. How do I "install" it? I can't find any instructions. Do I put it in with my OpenJK source code somewhere? Do I put it in my computer's operating system folder? My apologies, I'm not saavy with all this stuff yet.

Actually eez I believe you're wrong. In my experience NPCs tend to ignore what saber styles you set in their npc file and rather use saber styles based on rank, at least, if you only give them fast style, they might decide to use medium and strong too if they are a high rank. You have to use Asgarath's method to make absolutely certain the NPC will use the correct styles, by giving NPCs their own sabers.

It's a dark side power

Hmm, not sure. I was just looking on the website? How do I install it? Do I just extract the dll to my Windows folder or something? The output log: Error list: These are the two red errors in the code that I'm guessing are causing all the other errors:

This is meant more just to be a little skin for people to use for NPCs or something. If you want to use it in MP I gave it a very lazy icon. Just a green-clothed reskin of the reborn_new model with the head flap removed. This is what I thought a reborn apprentice in Tavion's ranks might look like. Maybe he's one of the yellow-orange reborns from JK2 that improved their skills a bit, but isn't quite strong enough to be a Reborn Warrior (one of the red ones). Or maybe he's one of the more skilled saber wielding cultists on his way to becoming a full-fledged Reborn. He's probably one of those JK2 reborns because that's the sound set I gave him so... He uses an NPC file almost identical to reborn_new2 in base JA, except he is spawned via "npc spawn reborn_apprentice". I was thinking of making a brown clothed and gray clothed reborn_new skin, but on second thought that's what the MBII RGB reborn_new is for... hmm just remembered that skin just now... -
An odd thing happened to me. About a week ago, I seemed to be able to compile my code. Now it won't compile, and I'm 99% sure I didn't change anything. The code on my PCs (I tried it on both, same problem) should have been and definitely is right now in sync with my github repository. Not sure what went wrong. The issues seem to be with code/server/sv_game.cpp and shared/sdl/sdl_input.cpp. In sv_game.cpp the identifier CL_InitCGameVM isn't recognized and in sdl_input.cpp the identifier cl_consoleKeys is not recognized. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this? Am I missing a file somewhere? I tried replacing those files with re-downloaded files from my own repo/fork and with versions of those files from the latest OpenJK build.

Maybe crashing your game is a fearsome dark side power.

Sorry, I forgot to clarify. Basically what I meant was for you to be able to tell the game to use universal animations from different .gla files. That way, if I see a stance animation mod I like and a mod that changes walking animations that both use custom animation frames, instead of having to make a new _humanoid.gla file that incorporates all of these frames, I could just put a few different gla files in the _humanoid folder and specify in the animation.cfg whether I want the frames for a specific animation (say BOTH_STAND2) to be loaded from a gla besides the standard _humanoid.gla. Maybe it's a silly idea but I thought it would be easier to combine animation mods this way. As for the animation.cfg thing I was saying if you could give an SP model just a custom animation.cfg without it needing to have its own .gla file. Currently you need to copy the whole .gla over IIRC even if all you want is a custom animation.cfg.
-
Just an idea I had; would it be possible to code a field in the animation.cfg that allows for an animation slot to use frames from a different .gla file? It would be an extra field that would default to the _humanoid.gla if not included. That way it would be so much easier to combine animation mods together, because you could put your animations in separate .gla files instead of having to always edit and merge with the _humanoid.gla. I also think it would be cool if you could give SP models their own animation.cfg file just like you can give them their own .gla file...

So I finally finished. I swear I'm not crazy, just look here https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/commit/5ab07009afb306f2852a97caedf4eaab8774c743 and look at wp_saber.cpp or bg_panimate.cpp and see all the hundreds of "changes" in these files. I don't know if they're whitespace issues or not, it looks to my eyes more like whatever Razor used or did a lot of lines we're deleted and then re-written exactly the same. Also, I have one last problem. I finally finished committing my manual merges to https://github.com/DustysPatch/OpenJK but the way I did it must have been sloppy because it's still showing me as ahead and behind on commits compared to JACoders/master. Is there anyway I can fix or manually override those numbers?
-
Yessss. It may be doable... -
Meld is definitely helping, but this merging is still quite a mess. I think I'm realizing where all this mess is coming from though. It is Razor's fault . Your freaking [sP] Fix compiler warnings batch of changes has created thousands of non-changes in every file I have to sort through.

^Thank you much. No way I would have figured that out on my own. I followed your instructions exactly, and now Git Shell is saying " The merge tool meld is not available as 'meld' " when I try to use git mergetool. I feel like Git Shell doesn't know where it's looking for meld... (about a minute after typing the above...) YES. YES. IT WORKED FINALLY. All I had to do was enter these two commands into Git Shell after following your instructions: git config --global merge.tool meld git config --global mergetool.meld.path /c/Program files (x86)/Meld/meld/meldc.exe Now to see if Meld actually helps my predicament a bit... Thank you Didz and everyone (but especially Didz because he broke it down for me like the noob I am ) EDIT: Line breaking why you no work? Here's where I found those commands if it's any help to anyone who might be reading this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12956509/how-to-set-meld-as-git-mergetool
-
I think part of the problem is I'm a bit confused between Git Shell, Git, and Meld. I didn't set up Meld correctly to be used by the git mergetool command which would probably help. I'm having a bit of trouble though because it seems like all the instruction sets for setting up Meld for use with the mergetool command are for Git and not Git Shell / Windows Power Shell. (Note I may not be using all these terms correctly, I am a complete console / command prompt / dos / windows powershell / non-pretty non-GUI program noob) EDIT: The main trouble I'm having is all the commands I see for setting up Meld seem to be for other Git tools. I'm using the standard "Git Shell" Windows powershell environment but all the commands are for Git bash. Maybe I should try that...

I guess it's not possible to change lighting via ent-modding? I guess lights/light sources aren't technically entities?
-
I had an idea for the Korriban level in JA SP, I wanted to make the outside portion be dark and stormy, and to therefore have lightning strikes and thunder in the background. Is that possible with only ent-modding? Come to think of it, is it possible to do thunder and lightning in JA?

Sorry I've still been having trouble but I'm learning, slowly. What I've been doing: instead of using "upstream" which doesn't seem to work, either git can't find it or tells me I don't have access privileges IIRC. First, I've been using a mix of the GitHub website's recommended commands: Walking back through it as I type: I'll do step 1. And then I can't do the git merge command until I've "fixed" the conflicts generated by the git pull command. The conflicts generated always seem to be the same as the way I described above. Most of the files are merged but the same few that aren't (like wp_saber.cpp) have those strange conflicts in them. When I type git mergetool after this it tries to merge the "problem" files in the powershell/command prompt thingy without opening Meld. The files it tries to fix are these: code/client/client.hcode/game/AI_Jedi.cppcode/game/bg_panimate.cppcode/game/bg_pmove.cppcode/game/wp_saber.cppcode/rd-vanilla/tr_draw.cppcode/ui/ui_atoms.cppcode/ui/ui_main.cppcode/ui/ui_public.hAll the attempted merges fail. Curiously the files seem to mostly be ones that I modified and OpenJK didn't. All the ones in the game/ folder I modified for sure. The last few I'm not sure about, @@redsaurus may have modified them when he set up save game screenshots. The first file client.h is no problem because it only has 1 conflict and it's actually a genuine conflict about the # ifdef JK2_mode code or something like that, as opposed to the 100s of weird conflicts in my files. EDIT: Random question. How do I switch what branch I'm working with in the Git shell manually without doing anything else? It tends to switch branches by itself when I do some of the commands.
-
So I've been working on manually fixing the conflicts which all seemed to be marked "<<<< HEAD (my code) ====== (OpenJK's code) >>>>>> bunchofrandomcharacters". The shell/console only flagged about 6-8 files that couldn't be automatically merged. Strange thing is though, which I'm seeing a lot in the wp_saber.cpp (one of the flagged files), my code and OpenJK's code is usually completely identical or my code is modified but OpenJK's 'update' is just the default code. Odd thing to me is why can't this be merged automatically? If OpenJK never changed anything in a particular line of code and I did, shouldn't my revision have priority? And if two lines of code are identical, why flag it? In the past I'm pretty sure we did pull requests on my OpenJK fork from the main project once or twice and it all merged fine automatically... I'm wondering... did OpenJK update all their code files with a new license or some other cosmetic change, that is causing GitHub and everything else to think that there are code changes when there aren't really any? I.e. the file line count changed, character positions etc. but nothing that affects code functionality? EDIT: Maybe I should use Meld to do this via Razor's instructions. So far Meld hasn't pulled up for me using your method Eez. It just told me I had conflicts in those certain files so I'm trying to fix them now in Visual Studio per some guide I found on the internet which might take a lot longer. EDIT No. 2: After searching through my wp_saber.cpp file a bit, I'm estimating there's probably over 100 of these "conflicts". Something's not right.
-
Sorry I've been a bit busy, can't believe it's already been 4 days! Hopefully I'll have time today to finally do the merge.
-
Alright, thanks very much for the help guys. I'm going to try it out later today then I'll post back.

Hey Eezstreet. I be havin a few GitHub woes. Honestly I feel like a bit of a dummy but GitHub isn't as intuitive to me as I thought it would be. I'm mainly having trouble updating my fork's code to the latest OpenJK revision smoothly (the part you didn't add in yet). Simply put I seemed to be able to do pull requests in the past no problem but now GitHub is telling me that the main OpenJK code can't be automatically merged with my own, I'm guessing because there are conflicts? However I can't get a clear view of which files and which code are conflicting and how to manually fix the conflicts... Any chance for a wee bit of help? It would be much appreciated I'll try and figure it out on my own in the mean time.
