I want Odds vs Evens!

I've had soccer setup for quite some time on my server, but I'm still unable to figure out how to get the score to read SCORE: Odds: Evens: - instead of SCORE: Warbirds: Javelins:
I've searched the forums, gone to shankys site, checked the wiki board, combed through files, but still can seem to get an answer- can someone fill me in?

modify ScoreMsg in points_goal

Code: Show/Hide void ScoreMsg(Arena *arena, Player *p)  // pid = -1 means arena-wide, otherwise private {    struct ArenaScores *scores = P_ARENA_DATA(arena, scrkey);    char _buf[256];    strcpy(_buf,"SCORE: Warbirds:%d  Javelins:%d");    if (scores->mode > 2)       {          strcat(_buf,"  Spiders:%d  Leviathans:%d");          if (!p) chat->SendArenaMessage(arena,_buf,scores->score[0],scores->score[1],scores->score[2],scores->score[3]);          else chat->SendMessage(p,_buf,scores->score[0],scores->score[1],scores->score[2],scores->score[3]);       }       else          if (!p) chat->SendArenaMessage(arena,_buf,scores->score[0],scores->score[1]);          else chat->SendMessage(p,_buf,scores->score[0],scores->score[1]); }

In VIE subgame it's a rather easy matter.

Misc:FrequencyShipTypes:0:1:Whether ship type is based on frequency player is on or not (0=no 1=yes)

If 1 = classic powerball WvJ.
If 0 = OvE.

Grav, that has nothing to do with this.

Just take a compiled ASSS exe, hex it, find the references as they should be plain ASCII and hack out the text.

[tech_girl]

can anyone please interpret that in layman's terms....
I opened the file - edited - then compiled... and still no joy! I changed the text basically from warbirds javelins to odds evens... am I missing something? I am not a whiz at this... I really appreciate the help..

For someone who claimed to be a grown woman employed in the IT business, you sure are damn clueless if you can't figure this out.

Are you sure you're that tech girl from alpha?
Don't seem very tech saavy to me.

W.T.F.- the changes didnt work. and now I'm being criticized for my lack of technical skill by Spec Ship- Ex Gravitron!- .... ffs I came here for help not to be put down for not being able to figure this out!

I'm a NOC technician with limited linux knowledge... and what does that have to do with a slice of bread? I'm here asking for help not criticizm

Seriously, ignore everything and anything gravitron says.

Ok, now that that's cleared up, lets get to work on your problem. Make sure you recompile everything after you've made the change. "make all" in the source directory under linux.

Just for reference (assuming that doesn't work) what version of ASSS are you using, and what operating system are you using?

[Guest]

Mine GO BOOM, I was refering to gravitron as the trash talker.

Thanks guys... I'm at work now and I'll mess around with it again as soon as I can this evening.

scoring is it's own dll (or in linux .o?). You don't need a new exe, just make sure after you recompile scoring you put it in the modules directory used by the asss server.

[i88gerbils]

Can you still do

Code: Show/Hide make scoring

or a similar command to compile a specific module and then do a make install scoring to move it over to the bin/ directory?

I think in the newer makefiles (1.4.0+) it automatically moves things to the bin directory after compiling, but i'm not sure.

asss 1.4.0
running on Linux 2.6.9-11.EL (CentOS)

Made sure asss wasnt running.... made the change... ran make all in the src directory...
# ls
basicstats.c periodic.c points_flag.c points_kill.c scoring.mk stats.c
jackpot.c persist.c points_goal.c points_periodic.c statcodes.c

Its wierd I go in and start a soccer game score a goal and it still says warbirds javelins even tho in the points_goal.c i have replaced that with odds evens...
still no go....

~Techie

[Bak]

for the points_goal module, add a printf in the module load function.

When the server starts make sure that the appropriate message is printed out. This way you will be sure your new module is in fact the one being loaded into the server and not the old one.

ffs I cant seem to remember to login to this forum LOL

[Dr Brain]

I imagine the problem lies in the building.

Go into the asss root directory (/home/code/asss for me)

type:
rm bin/scoring.so
cd src
make scoring.so

make sure the last one doesn't give any sort of error (if it does, copy+paste it here)
