Script Request : Post here

[DeLukas]

Well there is only one way i will get the hang of this now that I have read all that has been posted on the net. I, however, suffer from a flaw : no imagination.

If there is a script you need and would like me to try and write please ask. I will get to work on it asap.

I may come up with an idea as I learn what is and is not possible and as I read the scripts I have downloaded, but feel free to give suggestions.

[Aluscia]

Well... in between working on autoaim.vl2, and infinitehealth.vl2, I suppose it would be nice for a maximum distance thrower, and perhaps a hud that tells you who you were last killed, and how many times you were killed... Plus, I still need to find me a hud that tells me who my teammates are without having to hit F2. Well, have fun d00d!

[DeLukas]

AOK. I will get started on all that today (now the my I am a little ahead in my school work).

This is the order i will work on them:

1) teammates hud
2) how many times you have been killed
3) who you were last killed by

A maximum distance thrower already exist, but i will incorperate it into a THZ package of scripts.

I will get time to work on it today at work and tonight at home(where i can start testing). If there is anything anyone wants added to the package please contant me via this tread.


hmmmmm . . .autoaim. . .maybe on distance for a mortor shot. . .will have to look into it after i get some skill at this.

[Dynomutt]

Reticels... maybe with a waypoint arrow like T1. BJ can tell you what it was called, I don't remember.

[Ghryphen]

I dont believe that is possible with the new multiple waypoint system.

I got one though I saw posted.

I think the vehciles should carry some sort of auto hover feature. Yuo press a key and the vehcile will use the hover thrusters to keep the vehicle within 5m of where you pressed teh button. So if you area at 300m and you press the button the auto hover will keep you at an altitude ranging form 295m-305m. I thought about this when I was in a bomber and was talking with my crew but I had to stop and press the right mouse button repeatidly to keep hovering. It reall slowed down my typing.

This should work since you, as the client, have access to your altitude.

[DeLukas]

The problem i have with any auto funtions (like hovering, auto shooting when you have lock, etc) if I have not figured out yet how to activate events that are not:

1) part of a hud
2) done when a key is pressed

Hopefully this will be cleared up soon

[Ghryphen]

But hovering would be actived by keypress and hud :D

[DeLukas]

Activating, no problem . . .maintaining that is a different issue. . .but i have someone emailing me the info shortly

[Note to self. . .must make sure it turns off. *Dreams of gryphon stuck in a bomber at 500 M* *Dreams of Dynomutt running around with his jump jets stuck on after jumping out of a vechile* oh wait, never mind]

Updated Script List:
1) teammates hud
2) how many times you have been killed
3) who you were last killed by
4) max distance
5) hovering ["I hate you guys. I hate you so very much" :D]
6) That thing Dynomutt can not put into words

[DeLukas]

Update to my proto-requirments documentation for my scripting

Installtion of the PJ's T2 Support scripts will be required (and most likly included) with the scripts i create for THZ. http://www.planettribes.com/pj/t2support.asp

Now here is a question. Do we want them to open to the public, or do yall want them to be for inhouse use only?

I am cool ether way. I will write some for the public and keep all THZ request scripts on a .dso distribution to clan members only policy.

Or I can make all .cs files public. Ether way is cool. As soon as I get a real script up i will see about using that web space. (Could i get some help with that, I can do HTML. Just not very good with graphics).


OH wait! I need to write a script first! No T2 for DeLukas tonight :cry

[Ghryphen]

Public is fine with me.

[Aluscia]

Go for public... Send 'em into the official Tribes2 download centre.

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

I want a script that records all the messages in the chat window to a file for later perusal. It would be kind of like an IRC log.

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

I really wasn't kidding. :D

[Cerberus]

if you got time on your hands you could take the voice pack from t1 and write the code for a sound pack in t2 (using the D6 model)

That would make THZ* famous if we release that.

[DeLukas]

I don't have T1, but if someone could send it to DeLukas@thzclan.com i will try to get on it.

As far as the other scripts go, I am working on them. However, I have hit a few bumps in getting them to work.

The hover script requires figureing out how to ad a vechile key. This is difficult because the keyboard gets remaped when to jump into a Vehicle.

[Ghryphen]

T1 Sounds

[Kusiami]

vechile?

[DeLukas]

Do you mean vehicle? ;)

[DeLukas]

Updated ToDo List:

1) hovering [I was not all that bad]
2) T1 voice pack
3) Chat logger
4) teammates hud
5) how many times you have been killed
6) who you were last killed by
7) max distance
8) That thing Dynomutt can not put into words

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

I think you ought to concentrate on the ones that noone else has already written scripts for.

There are already good scripts available in the Tribes][ world that will do #4, #5, and #6.

/me is very selfish. :D

[DeLukas]

Well this is my Monday Status Update and a moment to display my boundless ego.

Weapon Swap is well underway. I have almost all the information i need and just need a few hours to hack it out.

Chat logger is sorta underway. I have not created a .cs file for it, but i have almost all the information i need for it.


I am going to get one of them out by Friday morning for sure. Automissile is about to drop off Tribes Depot's recent scripts with a count of 441 in 5 days. However, I do not think it will ever overtake any of current top 5 and it can only sit on the recent scripts column for so long (Hover has already dropped out with a flop of 31 downloads). I have an updated planned for automissile, but it will take some time and research that I wish to spend on the other scripts.

[Ghryphen]

I saw your release on TW, the replys started ugly but seemed to turn out ok :D

They are great scripts weather they are top downloads or not, good work DL.

[Ghryphen]

Also, you should get your URL into the readme's.....for MY ego :D

As for the recent additions list on the Deopt, it depends on what view people have. I still show Hover on mine as I display 15 most recent, and Hover is #11

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

w00h00!!!

/me does the chatlogger dance

I've only been whining for this one for about a year. :D

[Ghryphen]

You could also post your script releases here too

[REQ] Auto Flare ;)

[DeLukas]

Updated ToDo List:

1) Weapon Swapper (aiming for late wed or thursday)
2) Chat logger (aiming for monday)
3) Ingame Script Editor and compiler (GUI interface)
4) Ingame T2 p2p script sharing (will need a server side)
...A) Transfer Scripts (Txt files only)
...B) Execute Transfered Scripts
...C) Store in correct directory
...D) Transfer other files [Not likly]

[Ghryphen]

Here is an in game editor...this might cover #3

And #4? Is this for autoupadates? If so, there is a system already for this.

Or is #4 for sending a friend a script that you have and you want them to have it too? That would be sweet.

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

Je Je, Gryphon,

Jure personal foto over der to da left, IMHO, donna display jure name long enough. Fisk it. Thangzu. :D

[Ghryphen]

it was intended to be that way, it's subbliminimabled.

[DeLukas]

Passing a friend a script and executing it right then and there.

Tribespad is nice, but it's interface sucks

[XMEN RudeJelly DTM]

:lol

[DeLukas]

Wow another week already!


Ok Here is where things stand:

Weapon Swap:

GUI Finished
Will add in a check for ammo and then it is finished

There have been problems with swaping to and from the shocklance, so that will not be included in the first release. (I have just given up on it, i will have to rethink how swaping works to get this to work).

I hope to release it late late tonight or monday evening.

[DeLukas]

Ok Weekly Update:


My computer suffered a windows protection fault yesterday morning, so my weekend work has been shot. This is how things stand.

To Do List:
1) RudeJelly's Chatlogger [I really will do it :)]
2) Making all my script show up in that script supporter thingy AND updating hover.cs to work in TAC
3) AutoFlare (I am going to package it with an improved version of Automissile)
4) A ingame Script Compiler and Editor (a good one)
5) A tribes script p2p system

[Cerberus]

Not sure why, but hover.vl2 doesnt work in TAC
weaponsswap does which is sUHwheeeeeeTAH
