OK I need a little help with a new mod; I have some ideas that I could use a little help on :S

1) Is there any way to make it so that everyone on my server has the same tank skin? I saw another guy do it on his mod, so I think its possible.

2) Is it possible that I can make it go to the BrainCam when I get a certain powerup? (How do you get to the BrainCam, anyway? I need help on that too.)

3) How do you make it so that every powerup is a Speedy?

I know these are noob questions, and they might be difficult, but I would greatly appreciate your help.

@ code

Ok here ya go:

1) no, the tank skin thing is just a formality. Only you see your skin. There is a way to make everyone the same tank tho. If you want that just say so.

2) again, braincam is for you only. But if you want the camera changed to a different view use these codes:

Defaulttankcamera.camFloatheight = 3;
Defaulttankcamera.camBackupDist = -4;

Play with the numbers for different views (this is REALLY fun ;) )

3) I haven't tried that 1, so I really don't know. I dont want to give you the wrong info, so heres the guy to ask: Michael.

Let me know if you want anythin else, ill be happy to give it to ya (unless it's one of the secrets) XD ;)

Well, for 1 and 2, I know its possible, cuz other mods Ive been in did them. Otherwise, thx scotty.

1 and 2 are yes and 3 is no. Powerups cycle unpredictely and theres no stopping it

OK, thanks palm.
I guess I can just modify the statitics of each powerup to be the same.

Personally I get really annoyed when someone forces a download on me that changes my tank to look how they want it to look. I took time out to create myself a skin because thats how I want my tank to look.. I don't enjoy being forced to play with a different skin.

Just my 2¢.

-Z-

Well, thats a good point, -z-. But what I'm doing is I'm making a Sniper mod (Thats why I need BrainCam, so its kinda like a scope) and the point is that it will be tough to spot enemies, so I want everyone's tanks to blend in really good, so I put in a skin that blends in well and everyone will have it.

That's a good idea, for example, in a mod with lots of camoflauge, ect, a camo colored tank would be really good.

But, as -z- stated, I like my skins. :(

OK then no-one play on my mod :[

I like the idea.

Thanx XD

@Nathan
If I did it, wouldn't it be only for my server??

You might have the save cartige set to true on your powerups.

That gave me an idea!
What if I just made it so that the default shot is speedy, and put no Powerups?

Hmm...
Two new thoughts occured to me...
One, you can see other peoples names, and that would give off their position!
Two, Is there a sky skin that is close, but not entirely, black? That would be more fun, cuz its harder to see then!

Maybe his T, H, A, N, K, Y, O, and U keys broke unexpectedly.

I feel the same about your health gate. :)

...OK, my mod is almost done, I just eed to tweek a few more things.
I really appreciate those who gave me the info and those who posted in this thread :P

@Nathan
Yeah, the health gate totally ruins the game of scrum and battlemode when misused.

Misused? How-so?

Well I know this is an old thread but #3 is possible 2...
Dont do this if u do not know wat u doing cos it may crash ur game...

1 - Download special.cs and open it

2 - search for this part:

3 - Change it to:

4 - Go to game/server/scripts backup the existing special.cs.dso and if u also have special.cs also back it up

5 - Place the edited special.cs u just made in game/server/scripts and restart TT

Now each time u host a MOD only speedy powerups will appear

U can also use:

Theres an easier way that is by scripting but this is for any mod u host while the other is just set to the mod u want it in..
well if u do want the easier way, start scripting

Hope that helped,
