:
EMITTERS SECTION.
:
- Emitter Methods: Some Confusion

 

I just don't understand why or how people returned to the emitter.cs file method.
It never really worked right and is way to complicated.
I know I'm the one who rewrote the directions for emitters.cs method last June.

We used the emitter.cs file method before PokeMalo released the special.cs.
When PokeMalo released the special.cs back in June 2004 we were thrilled because now could make the emitters work properly.

But at some point since then, somebody started telling everybody to use the emitter.cs method!

 

- New Directions for Using Emitters

 

These are directions for using the emitters as weapons and nodes in the special.cs and mission (.mis) file.

 

- Emitters defined

 

We have translated most of the emitter settings from the special.cs file and defined each line of code. (Thanks Nathan)

 

- Emitter Settings

 

This is an example set of my emitters to put into you special.cs file replacing rocket etc..

Mr Big Show has made a tutorial for making new projectiles to use as either the default or as power-ups

For anyone like me who is annoyied by the idiots of TT, I have come up with WordFilter, an open-soruce script that filters out bad words. I added only 1 word, but you can add as many as you wish. For example, if you type in "crap", you will get "****" instead.
NOTES: Original script by Owen Ortmayer, ported to ThinkTanks by Racer445.

 

- Zoom Radar

 

New & Improved Zoom Radar Versions 2.0, 2.01 & 2.02! For both Mac and Window Users!

 

- Never Stopping Download Bar

 

Triv's simple solution to client side object download viewing of documents. In other words this code will show you what your downloading when your at a MOD and the bar seems stuck. Keep in mind though this is not server side, meaning if you put it in your mod it wont show folks, downloading your stuff, what the're downloading.

To install put the "camswitcher.cs" file in the game/server/scripts folder. Then you need to execute this in the main.cs by adding this line to the end of your main.cs file:
exec("game/server/scripts/camswitcher.cs");}

 

- Power-up gate

 

Billy Bob's power up gates. This is the code to put into your special.cs file so your gates give you power ups. Awesome!

 

- How to make Clones with the Dash Codes v 0.05

 

A thread on clones and example code.I got this to work but the clones just sit there and did not move around.

This script will only work on servers that have the tankchanger code enabled, such as Dash's Modserver and will also only work if you have a scrollwheel on your mouse.

I want to give this thread to someone.

Who can take over this thread?

 

Tuesday, March 07, 2006 at 9:43:01 AM

Me. I'll change the title to "MODDING RESOURCE- LOOK HERE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS" (true...) and not abuse my ownership of it. For example, you'll be seeing this:

 

- DJ Wings's Website

Potentially a good site once he puts in more content

 


instead of this:

 

- DJ Wings's Website

0wn4g3!!! J00 h4v3 t0 g0 h3r3! ()|_()|_()|_()|_()|_()|_!!!!!!!!!11

 


Plus, I'd add info actively, not just at request. But if you want to give it to someone else, fine with me. I could think of a lot of people who'd manage it better than me.

Saturday, March 11, 2006 at 5:11:15 AM

I'm sorry if I'm discussing here, but having checked Leeds Website, it STILL has the url http://www.freewebs.com/flipiters3

Can 1 please change it to http://www.freewebs.com/flipiters

I will delete this post once it has been changed.
Thank you.
Leeds

@Max: I set up a 'Quick Link' to the tutorials (first set), and also a direct link from the homepage to learn about the game itself.

I am hoping to find something new to add to it, so, if you come up with any ideas, don't hesitate to post in the forum (which reminds me, I need to set up a suggestions forum for members only)
