Also, I'm trying to figure out how to loop the "BOTH_PULLED_INAIR_F" and "BOTH_PULLED_INAIR_B" anims for the new grip. Every time I lift someone up, the anim always freezes at it's last frame. I recall a mod called "Telekinesis" on JK3Files, which replaced the choke anim for the old grip, but I've never swapped anims myself.

So if I were to make a 14th button, would I have to do 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 (and so forth) to get the proper value for it, and type that number in?

After many tries, I finally got this one to work, except that it does the same thing as the old Grip whenever I set it to anything other than zero. #define BUTTON_FORCEGRIP 64#define BUTTON_FORCEGRASP 64 Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Dude I thought this thread was dead... O.O I decided to work on a power called "Force Body" , and get back to Stun when I have a little more experience under my belt... The offensive powers seem more complex than powers like Rage, but then again I'm still a newbie to coding myself. The Idea for this one is to have your FP regenerate in exchange for your health. It'll be a bit like Absorb, only your FP regens when you use your own powers rather than absorbing those of your attacker, as well as having the cost of your powers reduced by a certain percentage like in KotOR2. The catch is that, however much of your FP cost is reduced, whatever the cost of your force powers while Force Body is active, will also be taken out of your health.

That solved the problem with the exe... But apparently it needs rd-vanilla and *possibly* jk2game to even launch.

No... Just using VS seemed to work 'till now... I dunno what happened. o.o

Every time I try to compile OpenJK, I first get errors concerning "q_shared.cpp" and "q_math.cpp", stating that they "don't exist" . After I replace them with the existing files, I then run into a couple of .exe errors stating the same thing about "game/q_math.cpp" and "game/q_shared.cpp" (?) and I replace those. After doing that, I try to build my solution, only to read this: Error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ALut.lib' This has been going on for awhile now... I have no idea how it started. I tried reinstalling VS2010 and SP1, but no joy.

Partly. From what I've gathered, the numbers "12-16" refer to what Force Powers are shown in your Power Selection, and which ones are only shown in your datapad (Saber Throw, Saber Defense, Saber Offense, Force Jump). I actually got "Stun" to play an effect sometime later by adding new commands, but it just played the Grip effect; still did damage, despite renaming [FP_GRIP] to [FP_STUN] in some areas of the ForceStun code.

It was me not properly following directions, sorry... :/

Misread your other comment... Re-did the 18-22 settings, typed in your edits, and got the same result: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date.

The game opened this time, but when I went to switch powers, it crashed and gave me this error: Q_strncpyz: NULL src

Yeah, the last FP_<power> was still underlined, stating "too many initializer values" .

#define MAX_SHOWPOWERS NUM_FORCE_POWERS-4 extern int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern int force_icons[NUM_FORCE_POWERS]; #define MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS NUM_FORCE_POWERS-1 Same result: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date

With your suggestion (underlines for errors): int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS] = { FP_ABSORB, FP_HEAL, FP_PROTECT, FP_TELEPATHY, FP_BLIND, FP_STUN, FP_SPEED, FP_PUSH, FP_PULL, FP_SEE, FP_REPULSE, FP_BREACH, FP_DRAIN, FP_LIGHTNING, FP_RAGE, FP_GRIP, FP_DESTRUCTION, FP_DEADLYSIGHT, }; char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS] = { "SP_INGAME_ABSORB2", "SP_INGAME_HEAL2", "SP_INGAME_PROTECT2", "SP_INGAME_MINDTRICK2", "SP_INGAME_BLIND2", "SP_INGAME_STUN2", "SP_INGAME_SPEED2", "SP_INGAME_PUSH2", "SP_INGAME_PULL2", "SP_INGAME_SEEING2", "SP_INGAME_REPULSE2", "SP_INGAME_BREACH2", "SP_INGAME_DRAIN2", "SP_INGAME_LIGHTNING2", "SP_INGAME_DARK_RAGE2", "SP_INGAME_GRIP2", "SP_INGAME_DESTRUCTION2", "SP_INGAME_DEADLYSIGHT2", }; // Keep these with groups light side, core, and dark side int showDataPadPowers[MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS] = { // Light side FP_ABSORB, FP_HEAL, FP_PROTECT, FP_TELEPATHY, FP_BLIND, FP_STUN, // Core Powers FP_LEVITATION, FP_SPEED, FP_PUSH, FP_PULL, FP_SABERTHROW, FP_SABER_DEFENSE, FP_SABER_OFFENSE, FP_SEE, FP_REPULSE, FP_BREACH, //Dark Side FP_DRAIN, FP_LIGHTNING, FP_RAGE, FP_GRIP, FP_DESTRUCTION, FP_DEADLYSIGHT, }; With my settings: int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS] = { FP_ABSORB, FP_HEAL, FP_PROTECT, FP_TELEPATHY, FP_BLIND, FP_STUN, FP_SPEED, FP_PUSH, FP_PULL, FP_SEE, FP_REPULSE, FP_BREACH, FP_DRAIN, FP_LIGHTNING, FP_RAGE, FP_GRIP, FP_DESTRUCTION, FP_DEADLYSIGHT, }; char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS] = { "SP_INGAME_ABSORB2", "SP_INGAME_HEAL2", "SP_INGAME_PROTECT2", "SP_INGAME_MINDTRICK2", "SP_INGAME_BLIND2", "SP_INGAME_STUN2", "SP_INGAME_SPEED2", "SP_INGAME_PUSH2", "SP_INGAME_PULL2", "SP_INGAME_SEEING2", "SP_INGAME_REPULSE2", "SP_INGAME_BREACH2", "SP_INGAME_DRAIN2", "SP_INGAME_LIGHTNING2", "SP_INGAME_DARK_RAGE2", "SP_INGAME_GRIP2", "SP_INGAME_DESTRUCTION2", "SP_INGAME_DEADLYSIGHT2", }; // Keep these with groups light side, core, and dark side int showDataPadPowers[MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS] = { // Light side FP_ABSORB, FP_HEAL, FP_PROTECT, FP_TELEPATHY, FP_BLIND, FP_STUN, // Core Powers FP_LEVITATION, FP_SPEED, FP_PUSH, FP_PULL, FP_SABERTHROW, FP_SABER_DEFENSE, FP_SABER_OFFENSE, FP_SEE, FP_REPULSE, FP_BREACH, //Dark Side FP_DRAIN, FP_LIGHTNING, FP_RAGE, FP_GRIP, FP_DESTRUCTION, FP_DEADLYSIGHT, };

This also happened with the original entry when I tried to add the power(s): #define MAX_SHOWPOWERS 12extern int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS];extern int force_icons[NUM_FORCE_POWERS];#define MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS 16 When I changed the entries to 18-22, it didn't have any problems from there.

#define MAX_SHOWPOWERS NUM_FORCE_POWERS-5 extern int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern int force_icons[NUM_FORCE_POWERS]; #define MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS NUM_FORCE_POWERS-1 If you meant this, the result I got out of it was the "too many initializers" error, causing one of the files to fail.

Do I need to put them in manually, or make edits?

You lost me there.

Would changing this do any good? (cg_local.h) #define MAX_SHOWPOWERS 18extern int showPowers[MAX_SHOWPOWERS]; extern char *showPowersName[MAX_SHOWPOWERS];extern int force_icons[NUM_FORCE_POWERS];#define MAX_DPSHOWPOWERS 22

What I'm trying to do is replicate the KotOR power "Stun" into JKA (to the right of "Mind Trick" in the link provided), by editing the ForceGrip code in the "wp_saber.cpp" file. Like I said, I managed to put it in my Force arsenal, as well as the Datapad Menu, but that's as far as it went - Didn't even hold them in place.

I was playing around with existing powers, and decided to throw in a new one. however, being a newcomer in terms of coding, I couldn't figure out how to make it actually "work" - Putting it in my Force arsenal, and the datapad menu was the farthest I got. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198012593394/screenshot/1083392265070826486
