I have uploaded a few of the.cs scripts here.

Note that this is officially unsupported . If you break your build, please don't send us support requests about fixing it.

As we want to ensure a quality experience for new players, we ask that if you use these scripts, and you put up a Mod server, you prepend the server name with MOD so that people are alerted to the possibility of wackiness.

Note that fopr security reasons, we cannot release all the scripts. We have included in the pack the ones we feel comfortable releasing.

Have fun!

@PokeMalo,

There scripts are very interesting. Thanks for the post. Could you please in a few words, analyze the "uses" of each of these scripts, or am I asking the wrong question? If you feel uncomfortable answering the question in this thread due to misuse of the scripts, alternatively my e-mail is lauryn@x-ecutioner.com.

(SA)lauryn^TM

Modders have been bugging us for the actual source for the script files for months. These files are the source files for the compiled cs,dso files that come with thinktanks. Running these in the same directory as the.cs.dso files will recompile the scripts and use the settings in these files in single player and on servers you create.

Other than that information, you will have to look over the modding threads here on PTT to learn what each parameter adjustment will do.

Ty for the few I did'nt have

This is wonderful, guys! YAY!!!

A note before using these from what I've managed so far:

MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL.cs.dso files before playing around with these scripts.

As to the question about uses for each of these scripts, they seem to be well documented with comment blocks and relatively self-explanatory. Any changes made to these (once they are in the right place) will affect your game on all maps. I'm not sure

How this is going to affect the mods that people have been sticking in their.mis files though.

This is great...now if we could only convince the fellows at the mod sites to start releasing their mods in uncompiled.cs form.

Hey Joe, do you think you could release commands.cs? I would really appreciate it. XD

Commands.cs is one of the ones we are not comfortable releasing.

Joe

Ok, thanks anyway. :)

Ty ty ty ty ty ty ty (pant pant pant whew) okay that's enough thanks. ;) all we do is replace the file correct? Or will TT crash?

P.S. What's the difference between tank.cs and tank2.cs?

Just curious

@pokomolo

1. Wat do the scripts do? And

2. Where do I put them?

Mudda

The scripts do the same thing as the ones in the game. If you just install these scripts, nothing will change.

But, if you know what your are doing, you can edit them, and make changes for a MOD. If you don't know what you are doing, make sure you make a BACKUP of your original files before installing and mucking around with these files. Because, if you mess them up, TT won't work, and you will wish you had the original files.

Tank2.cs is not the same as tank.cs. Don't rename it and replace tank.cs. That will make TT not work.

Then wats the point in the scripts?

The point of releasing the scripts was to make it easier for people to MOD. If you don't know what they are and why they are desirable to have for modding, you can ignore this thread.

Thanks for the scripts Poke!

Hey can you make one for messageHud.cs.dso file? Thanks. Great job PokeMalo.

PS I know thats client side only.

How do you make it sdo that one of those command only affect your tank. Like the spin factor when you die. So you spn and no one else in your OD.

These are windows only correct? If so: :) if not: :(

Nice, this helps alot. Thank you.

The.cs scripts are just text files. The will work on Mac, PC, and Linux. They will compile for the appropriate platform when the game is run. We are not going to release the message Hud script at this time. We are considering re-organizing some of the scripts for the next update so that we can release more of them. At the moment, there are a few items in some of the scripts that WILL break the game if messed with.

It should be pointed out that although this game was made with the Torque Game Engine, there were some extensive code modifications made for ThinkTanks, so not everything that works in the Torque will work in ThinkTank, and many things attempted using the resources on GarageGames may not work at all or may not work as expected (including have nasty side effects that may not be initially visible to the end user)

Just wondering, is there a way to get the console in the game like it is on the TGE by pressin `? I would love to see that in TT, I have having to minimize TT to go look at something in the console and/or boot someone. Thanks alot!

@ PokeMalo

Thats all right with me if you don't release it right now, but plz do sometime. It would help me out a lot :). If thats all right with you, you could email to me and I will not ask for any help and will take full responiblity. Look in profile for email. Thanks.

The scripts released in this thread are the onlyones we plan to release at this time. When we have more to release, we will post them here.

Thanks pokemalo. Now I can finally make a killer AI.

Ok (I'll shut up now) XD.

Hmm...not working for me :(

Pokemalo Is it possible to remove the bots A.I. So they can't move or shoot If so can u tell me if not don't tell me :o

Does someone want to cheat on solo? ;)

Yes, it is possible ritz. Oh? I'm supposed to tell him how? Too bad. I can't give away every secret

Noooooooooooooooooooo you got it all wrong michael becasue Leech told me that he got the ufo by deleting the bots A.I. I don't want a CHEAT Come on just this 1!!!!! Time please........*

^{Wish I could post a picture of Bambi eyes.......}

Your mean.......

Last edited: Thursday, June 03, 2004 at 8:43:51 PM

No, deleting the AI wont give you the UFO....well because there will be nothing to shoot to get to the next level lol.

Michael I meen he got the ufo by deleting the bots A.I THEN play he played solo

You could mod all the maps in such a way it would be easy to win in solo. Like make all the heavy and medium not shoot. :)

Just delete the.ai file. The bots will be there but they will not do anything. Takes forever to kill all those lives XD

Does anyone know why it won't work for me?

Devestator ©

Devestator waht a coincidence it doesn't work for me either XD

So the solo uses your.mis files? So if u moded one it will be modded that way in solo? And where's this AI for the bots? And can u make it so u can't die in solo?

Ok...my fist mission(TT1_1) is a mod, and each time I start up solo it just sits on the loading objects screen, never moves! Wuts wrong?!?!?!?!?!?

Ok...i fixed that porblem, but now I don't last forever, but I do kill faster, is there a way that u can make it so I can never be killed? Or it at least takes forever until I even start smoking?

Ok, wen I get to cranium crater, it doesn't even load! It says it encountered a problem, and so I clicked don't send, and it closes(the game), it happeneds every dam time!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :( :( :( :( :(

You've probably got an error in the mis file. Possibly just a missed semi-colon or something.

Ok, I fixed it for cranium by just deleting the ai, but now the first spooky map isn't working! Wut do I do now? Plz help me, plzzzzzzzzzzzz :(

Am I getting this wrong, or does these scripts allow you to edit the dso files, Im at a school pc so I cant have a look, but if yes.....

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Ehem

Wen I get to the first spooky map in solo the game still screws up, wuts happened?!?!?!?!?!

Ok..i launched the non-working map of mine, and this is wut it says...

>>> Advanced script error report. Line 633.

>>> Some error context, with ## on the sides of error haly:

IndoorWeight = "100";

OutdoorWeight = "100";

};

}##;##

};

New TSStatic() {

Position = "112.811 -57.5322 108.96";

>>> Error report complete.

BTW: I launched it as dedicated

Hard to tell anything like that, repost and use the [tt] tags.

Tt tags?
