You're sure it's not a batch file? Try dragging it into Notepad, you'll see the inner workings of it if it's a batch file.


I'm sure. It's S2Ext.exe file.

Yes, it's possible. Just take a look how Ankh work in Ext2 Mod.

Huda, you're too fast for me to realize I'm not logged in.

Anyway, here's the post I was typing up as a guest:

This be a quick whip-up and not the best way to do it, but try the following in the map's global script:

1
2
3
if(lives("unit",1") && getamount([ID])){
    revive 1;
}

This has a small chance of not working, but try it anyway.


If you could perhaps hook this check to always be active and not use up a bunch of computer resources, you could use the above code there.


Maenardil: Sounds like one of two possibilities: either a batch file was compiled to .exe, or it was written by someone with a way of doing so.

Ok thanks. Here's what I got now, but it's still not working. When I spawn it does say "Press attack to revive" but when I die it doesn't do anything.

You have to put it in the right function I think... (should be somewhere in the game.inf or unit.inf)

Or maybe you'll have to exchange "on:attack1" with "on:kill". Put the hole stuff in the "units.inf" (unit 1 - player) that should solve it.

Or try this... (unit 1 in units.inf)

on:start{
	     $lives=4;
}

on:kill {
	if ($lives>0) {
		$lives--;
		revive 1;
		msg "Revived! $lives lives left!",4; 
	} else {
		msg "No more lives left!",3;
	}
}
(can't test it yet)

By the way it seems to be nonsense to let the player press the "attack"-Button. Of course he want to be revived...!
Apart from this fact I actually don't know, if pressing a button does anything if you've been killed. So just let him revived and enough.

Hey, as long as I see McLeaf here, am I allowed to use some models from EXT mod for my map? I'm not pretending to make a mod in general, I just want 1 map where I'll put a storyline later (after I finish my uni session).
I will put a readm file with all the credits, and if you allow can you let me know who's the creator of your models?

I have the same question. Can I use Ext Mod textures/models in my mod? And by "my" I mean mod that can be released in public.

And one more question. Can I override "ride" script? Basically, I want an object appear as "mounted" or in other words player would control movement of this object, but controls and behavior would be different from what we have now when riding a vehicle.

The creator of the mod is bizzl. But there a some developers (bizzl, banane, me...) creating some models and other stuff.
Some models are made by me, so (maybe) you could use them. But better ask bizzl or banane to get a permission for using the stuff...

Omnious (title)

Anyt help please :p

-Gregg

P.S. It's for a map I'm realeasing (it will be rubbish so don't get your hopes up :P) and I can't really script (Yet I'm making a mod, see the irony? *ignore this*
