A few questions: 1.) How do you blend terrain? 2.) How do you get the little green words explaining the level name, time, and location at the beginning of the level? (I remember an old tutorial for this, but I can't find it anymore.) Thanks.

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-122.html http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-379.html I think there is also a video in COD video section Not sure what you're talking about with the green letters, time & location.

When you begin the level, It'll say something like: 'All Ghilled Up' Pripyat, Ukraine Lt. Price 15 Years ago In green glowing letters.

Ofcourse, probably the same method as an intro screen, just load up some stock singleplayer files (gsc and csvs) to see how IW did it.

You could do it like this:

First you need to precache you intro screen lines, lets say you are using 5 lines

Code:

	
precacheString(&"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_1");
	precacheString(&"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_2");
	precacheString(&"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_3");
	precacheString(&"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_4");
	precacheString(&"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_5");

	lines = [];
	lines[ lines.size ] 	= &"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_1";
	lines[ "date" ] 	= &"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_2";
	lines[ lines.size ] 	= &"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_3";
	lines[ lines.size ] 	= &"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_4";
	lines[ lines.size ] 	= &"MAP_INTROSCREEN_LINE_5";

This just needs to be called in your .gsc above the _load function. MAP needs to be replaced with your mapname.

Now the description for each line is handled in your .str files, if you don't have one (being a singleplayer you probably do) just create one, ok again for 5 lines

Code:

REFERENCE           INTROSCREEN_LINE_1
LANG_ENGLISH        "'Name of mission!'"

REFERENCE           INTROSCREEN_LINE_2
LANG_ENGLISH        "Day 1 - 04:05"

REFERENCE           INTROSCREEN_LINE_3
LANG_ENGLISH        "Location"

REFERENCE           INTROSCREEN_LINE_4
LANG_ENGLISH        "Name"

REFERENCE           INTROSCREEN_LINE_5
LANG_ENGLISH        "Rank"

Another nice little trick is to use a fake second counter on hte time line so something like

Code:

"Day 1 - 04:05:[{FAKE_INTRO_SECONDS:26}]"

should work fine, try it out and see how you get on.

I got a bad syntax error. Don't know if its from this or my door kicking function. Here it is anyways: #include maps\_utility; #include maps\_anim; main() { precachestring( &"FALLUJAH_INTRO_1" ); precachestring( &"FALLUJAH_INTRO_2" ); precachestring( &"FALLUJAH_CPL_HENRY_JOHNSON" ); precachestring( &"FALLUJAH_3RD_BATTALION" ); precachestring( &"FALLUJAH_FALLUJAH" ); precachestring( &"MARKET"); precachestring( &"APARTMENT"); precachestring( &"DEFEND_THE_CONVOY"); lines = []; lines[ lines.size ] = &"FALLUJAH_INTRO_1"; lines[ "date" ] = &"FALLUJAH_INTRO_2"; lines[ lines.size ] = &"FALLUJAH_CPL_HENRY_JOHNSON"; lines[ lines.size ] = &"FALLUJAH_3RD_BATTALION"; lines[ lines.size ] = &"FALLUJAH_FALLUJAH"; maps\_load::main(); maps\Fallujah_anim::main(); level.player takeallweapons(); level.player giveWeapon("saw"); level.player giveMaxAmmo("saw"); level.player giveWeapon("colt45"); level.player giveMaxAmmo("colt45"); level.player switchtoWeapon( "saw" ); thread kick_door(); } kick_door() { door_node = getnode ("door_node","targetname"); doortrig = getent("door_trig","targetname"); doortrig waittill("trigger",other); level.doorkicker = getent("sarge","targetname"); level.doorkicker.animname = "open_door_kick"; level.doorkicker.anim_node = door_node; level.doorkicker notify ("stop friendly think"); level.doorkicker thread magic_bullet_shield(); level.doorkicker.ignoreme = true; level.maps\_anim::anim_reach_solo (level.doorkicker, "kickdoor", undefined, door_node); level.doorkicker pushPlayer (false); door_node thread maps\_anim::anim_single_solo (level.doorkicker, "kickdoor"); level.doorkicker waittillmatch ("single anim", "soundfx = Door_WD_kick"); door = getent ("door1", "targetname"); door playsound ("Door_WD_kick"); door rotateyaw(90,.5,.2,.2); door connectpaths(); level.doorkicker notify ("stop magic bullet shield"); level.doorkicker.ignoreme = false; }

Load your map in developer mode and see exactly what the error is (usually) Game menu: /developer 1 /devmap mapname Then drop the extended console "¬"+"shift"

Appearantly, the line of code causing the trouble is this one: level.maps\_anim::anim_reach_solo(level.doorkicker, "kickdoor", undefined, door_node); (Line 63) To be honest, I'm pretty stoked that this is the only error. edited on Jul. 16, 2008 12:53 pm by Ediblemittens

The name of the doorkicker is "sarge" The name of the scripted node is: "door_node" The door is: "door1" the sound is: "Door_WD_kick" the animation is: "open_door_kick"
