[Release] Portal Gun

[braindead]

Hey all

Here ya go....

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20728...alGun+v1.1.rar

edit* (uploaded new version with fixed staticmesh/texture package.)
edit* 20/08/11
Update includes new code by Marco which has many fixes and crosshair.
Also inlcudes testmap by Marco, using great examples for map makers, i.e. new anti-portal volumes etc

edit* 24/8/11

Updated to Marco's new version
Changelog:

- Fixed some online glitches with entering/exiting the portals.
- Fixed some rotation glitches when passing through portals.
- Added screen flash when passing through them (only works in PortalGame mode due to some broken features in UE2).
- Added correct portal sounds.
- Added lasers from Portal 2 which can pass through portals (yet need to add some reflector cubes too) to be used to create puzzles.
- Added "pgPortalSurface" volume which can be placed inside "pgNoPortalSurface" volumes to set as exceptions in "no portal rooms".
- Fixed HUD name display on PortalGame mode.
- Removed all upscaling/downscaling crap from the portals and put up a better 'portable' surface detection.
- Prevented placing portals on-top of each other.
- Added support for fly through air music by setting PhysicsVolume.AmbientSound (through you better set the SoundVolume to 0 too so it can't be heard from the volume)

Inlcuded is a mutator which allows the players to start with the Portal gun.

To buy from trader, please use the custom trader mutator and add the following line to the ini file:

WeaponForSale=PortalGun.pgPortalGunPickup


Thanks....

Shambler for the original UT2004 coding
Fuegerstef for the amazing textures
Benjamin for the awesome 3D effect code
Marco, for brilliant additional fixes and test map









Sincerest apologies for the delay on this but I hope it has been worth the wait

A couple of things....

the portals will only stay open for 1 minute. This is so if you die, your portal doesn't stay hanging around,

also, you can only use your own portals, this is due to being able to frag other players, which isn't very nice (LOL ask Hemi )

This is no doubt too exploitive to ever be considered for whitelisting but if Ben/Marco or anyone else can think of ways to eliminate the exploits, please feel free to do so.

Hope you all enjoy and have fun!

Well done mate! I might actually try to see what I can do with this baby on my server

You do realise how many mods/maps will be made around this weapon right? There has been quite a few ideas already around the forums.

Do you mean you are changing the weight to 10.0000?

[Hemi]

no the cash. Is removed it from 6 and 5...jeez that got out off control fast lol. Its on server 4 now, which is harder and its more expensive.

[dangercake]

OMG the downloads keep going over 100% on the PortalGunT and PortalGunSM

[braindead]

why did it get out of control? can people still use other peoples portals?

plus, have you modded the main file and kept it as the same name? because if you have anyone who downloads my version will keep getting mismatch errors when they try to join your server

jeez, just tried to join server 4 and it said bastardsnd (25mb for a sound file?) and it was going sooooooooo slow so I gave up.

sorry hemi, i for one will not be on the WPC servers for a while, especially if you are changing peoples mods, willy nilly.

what?

I didnt change it...I only changed the damn cash for it. You should have seen the ****storm that thing produced. 2500 is too less for a griefmachine. And ill remove the bastard, np. Jeez, was just trying to help out. And you released the source for marco and benji to change? And I cant do that? Why release it then.

[Hemi]

There the Bastard is removed from server 04 try now.

Remember BD, I offered to help. I fixed this fastredirect problem by posting the sollution that Marco gave me, and I only fixed the price of the mut cous our servers need to have that with all the unbalanced stuff on it(and to see what members would do)...the rest is all you.. Damn, I even put them on the servers right away to support you in this mod, cous I know how much headache they gave you and how little help you got making it.


EDIT :

Ill revert the damn thing, but it wont be on the other servers

These are the files I fixed anyway. You wont get a mismatch...since its animations

http://www.sendspace.com/file/589uxz

btw your current version itself gave missmatches on its own after trying to join, this fix will prevent that, PortalGunT goes in textures and PortalGunSM goes in static meshes

EDIT 2 :

Server runs the cheap version now. So you wont get mismatches.
