[Mutator] Reload options

[a1eat0r]

(Whitelisted)

This mutator adds options to disable auto-reload and to make the reload animation interruptible.

Options

• Allow to interrupt: allow actions, which can be changed in the config file (see below), to interrupt the reload animation. If interrupted, it has to start over. If the magazine has been removed during the animation, interrupting it will set the amount of ammo in the magazine to zero (the ammo won't be lost).
• Disable auto-reload: play a dry-fire sound instead of triggering auto-reload.
• Options to display in-game messages when the animation is interrupted and when your weapon needs to be reloaded or has no ammo.

Config file
For an action to interrupt the reload animation, the corresponding alias has to be added to the mutator's config file. For example:

• ReloadOptionsMut.ini
  

  InterruptAliases=Jump
  InterruptAliases=GetWeapon

• User.ini
  

  Space=Jump
  X=GetWeapon Knife | Say Take that, auto-reload!

Here's hoping this one gets integration, it looks really good!

 

[moleculo]

cool

Updates
-now works with single 9mm;
-small fixes to the veterancy subclasses.

EDIT: No longer relevant.

 

[nd2spd]

Cool! I assume you updated the download, I'm gonna try out the new one tomorrow.

Also, not sure if this is a concern but the reload cancel isn't working on Hunting Rifle, and I assume it's because its code is isolated or something.

As a disclaimer, I have no experience with neither mutators nor UnrealScript. The mutator works but is not finished; I'm posting the source code in case someone more competent would want to finish it.

Good Luck anyways, i'm doing sometimes same thing

the reload cancel isn't working on Hunting Rifle

If you mean the custom weapon, the code needs to be modified to include new weapons. If you mean the Hunting Shotgun, it's a subclass of the KFWeaponShotgun class which I haven't extended yet. These are the weapons that should work with the current version:

Spoiler!

• MP7M
• MP5M
• M7A3M
• KrissM
• KSG
• NailGun
• AA12
• Single
• Magnum44
• Deagle
• MK23
• M14EBR
• Bullpup
• Thompson
• AK47
• GoldenAK47
• M4
• MKb42
• SCARMK17
• FNFAL_ACOG
• MAC10
• FlareRevolver
• FlameThrower
• M4203
• ZEDGun

Also, I've figured out how to subclass KFPawn, so I plan on making the mutator work with dualies with my next update.

EDIT: No longer relevant.

 

[nd2spd]

I meant the custom weapon, yeah that's what I thought.
I look forward to future updates.

EDIT: I couldn't get it to work with single 9mm on my end for some reason.

Not a bad mod for what i've seen and heard but im worried about the compatability issues it gives. You will not be able to use this on ServerPerks, any other custom perk system or one that replaces the weapons (which is majorly on PoosH system).

 

[a1eat0r]

I've had a closer look at the way manual reload is implemented in ScrNBalance (which I should've done from the beginning), and it seems there's no need to replace every weapon, just a subclass of KFHumanPawn should work, though I haven't tested it yet.

EDIT: It works, but I need to write a new code from scratch. I'm going to edit the first post and update the download links after I've made more progress.https://www.dropbox.com/s/97fyqyl8xw6d8tr/test_Source.zip

 

[a1eat0r]

Updated.

 

[a1eat0r]

Updated. The mutator no longer replaces weapons, so it should also work with custom ones. I don't think there's anything more to add to the code, except make it work online. This is something I can't do, because not only do I have no clue about networking, but I also don't run a server to test it online. So for now I'm just going to wait for any feedback and fix any possible bugs.

 

[nd2spd]

Everything seems to be working fine... 9mm, Hunting rifle. Nice work, liking the new options.

I did find some odd behavior though, the 'You're all out' message displays when using any melee weapon, because they never have ammo I guess...

 

[a1eat0r]

the 'You're all out' message displays when using any melee weapon

Fixed and updated, thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to check bMeleeWeapon and bConsumesPhysicalAmmo before displaying the message.

I propose you submit this for the new round of mutator whitelisting:

Updated.

Everything works the same way, except now it's less advantageous to cancel reload. If the mag has been removed during the reload animation, interrupting it will set the current mag capacity to zero (no ammo will be lost). The interval before the mag is removed ranges from 0.3s to 0.7s for different weapons and is adjusted for any reload speed bonuses. The Interrupted! message has been changed to be shown only when the capacity is set to zero.

I am impressed by this mutator! Nice closeable options, too, I love options to select/deselect to my preferences.

Guys please help a1eatOr the netcode and serverperks compatibility.

 

[a1eat0r]

Updated:
- rewritten the mutator using an interaction;
- added a mid-game tab with the options;
- made aliases that can interrupt the reload animation configurable.

Disregard my old posts in this thread, the mutator's finished and should be working online.

This surely must be whitelisted and popularized like AntiBlocker once was! I wonder why reloading wasn't interruptable from the very beginning - what moron will continue to fiddle with that AA-12 mag or juggle those Dualies for eternity when he's being eaten alive, if he got an AK, Bullpup or some other spare wapon fully loaded and ready for action?

 

[Zuko]

did you submit this for white-listing?
