Post subject: Adding shipset, and configuring for CTF

ok I have a problem adding my shipset:

Quote:

[Misc]
SlowFrameRate=0
MaxTimerDrift=15
AntiWarpSettleDelay=10
DisableScreenshot=0
WarpPointDelay=6000
DecoyAliveTime=3000
BounceFactor=18
SendPositionDelay=10
SlowFrameCheck=0
AllowSavedShips=1
SafetyLimit=90000
FrequencyShift=900
TickerDelay=1000
ExtraPositionData=0
WarpRadiusLimit=1024
ActivateAppShutdownTime=1500
NearDeathLevel=0
VictoryMusic=1
FrequencyShipTypes=0
BannerPoints=100000
MaxLossesToPlay=0
SpectatorQuiet=0
TimedGame=0
SheepMessage=Sheep successfully cloned -- hello Dolly
ResetScoreOnFrequencyChange=0
MaxPlaying=0
GreetMessage=Was up everyone and welcome to the EGC Zone have a nice life be it long or short
MaxXRes=1024
MaxYRes=768
ContinuumOnly=1
StartInSpec=1
SaveSpawnScore=1
LevelFiles=ships.lvz

there it is my shipset is going to be cosmic rift vehicles my mod will be a cosmic rift clone with ctf.
We'll I can't get my chipset to load I read on a post to change the ships.bm2 to ships.lvz and so I did and it's not working I am still seeing original ship

. Can someone please help me

. Also I am having a problem with my flags randomly spawning:

Quote:

[Flag]
FlaggerOnRadar=1
FlaggerKillMultiplier=2
FlaggerGunUpgrade=1
FlaggerBombUpgrade=0
FlaggerFireCostPercent=2000
FlaggerDamagePercent=1000
FlaggerBombFireDelay=0
FlaggerSpeedAdjustment=-10
FlaggerThrustAdjustment=0
CarryFlags=0
FlagDropDelay=0
FlagDropResetReward=5
EnterGameFlaggingDelay=10000
FlagBlankDelay=200
NoDataFlagDropDelay=300
FlagMode=1
FlagResetDelay=1440000
MaxFlags=2
RandomFlags=0
FlagReward=5000000
FlagRewardMode=0
FlagTerritoryRadius=1
FlagTerritoryRadiusCentroid=0
FriendlyTransfer=0

There ya have it I made them set so that they can't be picked up and so that my they don't spawn but within a radius of 1 from centroid because I read that 0 (note: 0 = special value meaning hide flags in center area of board as normal). And like I said they keep spawning random. Also is there anyway I can make my map smaller so that I don't have to add borders like I do.

Thanks for all your help and anyone who helps me.
If you need to check my zone out, It's listed as EGC Testing.

Did you actually make the lvz or did you just change the name of file?

Ok if you did make the lvz correctly, then make sure you have a copy of the lvz in your SERVER folder and your CONTINUUM folder, then have the ships.bm2 (bmp) in your server folder along with the ini you used to make the lvz.

Add it into Misc:Levelfiles=ships.lvz
you did this so good!

Login as a sysop when your in your zone, do *putfile ships.lvz
then type ?go and then you will be transferred back to the arena you were probably just in. It should work now work! If it doesn't then either one of your files are in the wrong place or you made the lvz wrongly.

also, the ships.bm2 should be a picture containing all the ships 1-8 with the new edited ones taking the place of one of the other ships

The lvztoolkit does not require you to modify its own INI. You make an INI for every LVZ that you want. Example.ini is just that, an example of an LVZ INI along with instructions on how to make your own.

Also, these programs are not DOS, they're just runnning in a command prompt instead of a GUI.

Post subject: I didn't get one

I didn't get an example.ini I didn't get nuthing but the readme text and the 3 app's that's what I said before man it didn't come with no ini is what I said ya'll dumbass homo's need to learn to read and not just skim through the shit, like you are so smart you already know what I'm going to say when your not near as smart as you think.

An IQ of 128? That's pretty low my son.

If you had the IQ of 128 you wouldn't be bitching that much in your posts, or are you just young?

I was saying that because of your "P.S I hate dos programs so much dos is dead somebody shoot and kill the ediot that wrote that program hahahahah.", because you flamed something while you obviously had no idea what you were talking about.

I'll "fuck myself bitch" if you tell me how.

Haha, come back when you make sense.

Command Prompt is just a windows based dos pretty much the same thing.

shipset = EASY

alright so you say that you have a file that has all the ships 1-8 with the ones you have added?

if so then do this

go to lvlz toolkit, right click > New Document (notepad)

Type:

Outfile:(name of the lvz >choose watever !! INCLUDE .LVZ)
<<make sure this space is here>
File:ships.bm2(bmp)

then hit save as, (same name as ur lvz, cept .INI)

then make sure your picture is in the lvlz toolkit, hit buildlevel.exe (NOT THE .37!)

then it should make your lvz. run debuild to make sure that there are no errors
----

next, follow the rest of my directions from my earlier post. ALSO, the file needs to be a bmp or bm2, so make sure you convert your file to that if it isn't one already (just renamming.. laff)

<<<EDIT>>> http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=2283 This helps with SOME LVZs

Your right that's why I am attempting to make an exact replica of Cosmic Rift because it would be fun. But I have a feeling I am going to need special bots to control the stuff so I might have to find out how to make bots. Hopefully that's not to hard, If anyone thinks they can help me out I would appreciate it I really.

Post subject:

ok I am in your zone right now/or was (Tester123) and the ships look nice, but your map and settings need total workage!

Bots aren't that hard to make, unless you need a new plugin, heh talk to someone else but me cause I don't know/have the program to make plugins

1) I helped you.

2) You still don't know what you're talking about. Win32 Command Prompt is not in any way "pretty much the same thing" as DOS.

Post subject: Ahhahahahahah

HAHAHAHAH your right I just like to think of them that way because it looks so much like it and the old windows had that dos prompt and it screws with my head alot your help is very much appreciated I'm not sure what I am going to need just yet I just ripped alot of graphics from the game and will be turning them into tileset's Tomorrow. I will after my first arena add another server with the Rogue Trader Map and I am wanting to turn the balls into the resources and I think I will need Plugin's for the control over the soccer balls to allow them to be tooken to a goal and when entering that goal the person looses the ball and recieve's the point. But the problem is that I was testing the balls and I put 20 and I got disconnected evertime the balls would spawn and I will need more then 20 balls is there anyway I can add more then that??? like maybe 40 ???? And I also was wondering if I could make a safezone the goal that way they can't be attacked when in safe zones and it will also be were they go to score. I was going to make that one first but I am going to make Chaos Zone because that's the most popular map on that game right now so I figure it would help me get up off my feet after I get it running. Chaos zone will consist of kill to win and capture and hold a flag for points (There are like 4 goals). Yea my map needs alot of work hahahahahahah. And is there anyway I can add more then 8 ships??????? Because I want to have all the ships on there but if not then that's still kool.

Cyan~Fire - Sun Oct 03, 2004 12:32 pm

I think the max is around 8/9 balls. You cannot have more than 8 ships.
