Custom character: How to Add

MetalMedved · Mar 18, 2011

Code:

NewPlayers[0].SetPawnClass("","Fostermod");

Where is the Fostermod mutator?

Code:

NewPlayers[0].PlayerReplicationInfo.CharacterName~="Corporal_Lewis"

This is replacement by skin. Replacement by ID is at post #34

Code:

if( NewPlayers[1]!=None && NewPlayers[1].Player!=None ){
                if(NewPlayers[1].PlayerReplicationInfo.CharacterName~="Corporal_Lewis")
                {
                NewPlayers[1].SetPawnClass("","KFARGGirlAA");
                }
        }
        if( NewPlayers[2]!=None && NewPlayers[2].Player!=None ){
                if(NewPlayers[2].PlayerReplicationInfo.CharacterName~="Corporal_Lewis")
                {
                NewPlayers[2].SetPawnClass("","KFARGGirlAA");
                }
        }

This is unnecessary.

1.I create <KF root>\FosterWhiteMod\Classes\FosterWhiteMod.uc file with code:

Code:

class FosterWhiteMod extends Object;
// este es un hack by nanomo :D, no borrar
defaultproperties
{
}

And another <KF root>\FosterWhiteMod\Classes\FosterWhite.uc file with:

Code:

class FosterWhite extends PlayerRecordClass;
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=..\textures\FosterWhiteTex.utx

defaultproperties
{
     Species=Class'KFMod.SoldierSpecies'
     MeshName="KF_Soldier_Trip.Officeworker_Soldier"
     BodySkinName="FosterWhiteTex.utx.Uniforms.officeworker_diff"
     FaceSkinName="FosterWhiteTex.utx.Uniforms.officeworker_diff"
     Portrait=Texture'KFPortraits.MRFoster_Portrait'
     TextName="XPlayers.Default"
     VoiceClassName="KFMod.KFVoicePack"
     Sex="Male"
     Menu="SP"
     Skeleton="KFSoldiers.Soldier"
     Ragdoll="British_Soldier1"
}

2.Correctly?

Code:

function Timer()
{
    while( NewPlayers.Length>0 )
    {
        if( NewPlayers[0]!=None && NewPlayers[0].Player!=None && ShouldSkin(NewPlayers[0].GetPlayerIDHash()) )
            NewPlayers[0].SetPawnClass("","Fostermod");
        NewPlayers.Remove(0,1);
    }
}

3.This code replaces the skin for three girls.I do not know how to do differently

the magic is in this: SetPawnClass("","Fostermod"); so, you must code the conditions to get what players will be recieving the new skins, in this thread and this one we discusse about changing with the character name or the hashid, can be changed depending of the palyers name, Again, you must code the conditions that will make to apply the new skin to one palyer and not the others.

Kowku · Mar 18, 2011

I understand you correctly?

Code:

class KFARGGirlA extends Mutator;

var array<xPlayer> NewPlayers;
var config array<string> PlayerIDs;

function PreBeginPlay()
{ 
    AddToPackageMap("KFARGGirlAAMod");
    AddToPackageMap("KFCharacters");
    AddToPackageMap("KF_Soldier_Trip_T");
    AddToPackageMap("TraderPlayer");
    class'KFGameType'.default.AvailableChars[Class'KFGameType'.Default.AvailableChars.Length] = "KFARGGirlAA";
    AddToPackageMap("FosterWhiteMod");
    AddToPackageMap("KFCharacters");
    AddToPackageMap("KF_Soldier_Trip");
    class'KFGameType'.default.AvailableChars[Class'KFGameType'.Default.AvailableChars.Length] = "FosterWhiteMod";
}

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
    if( xPlayer(Other)!=None )
    {
        NewPlayers[NewPlayers.Length] = xPlayer(Other);
        SetTimer(0.1,false);
    }
    return true;
}
function Timer()
{
    while( NewPlayers.Length>0 )
    {
        if( NewPlayers[0]!=None && NewPlayers[0].Player!=None ){
                if(NewPlayers[0].PlayerReplicationInfo.CharacterName~="Corporal_Lewis")
                {
                NewPlayers[0].SetPawnClass("","KFARGGirlAA"); //skin for all girls
                }
        }
        if( NewPlayers[2]!=None && NewPlayers[2].Player!=None ){
                if(NewPlayers[2].PlayerReplicationInfo.CharacterName~="Agent_Wilkes")
                {
                NewPlayers[2].SetPawnClass("","FosterWhiteMod"); //skin for ME
                }
        }
        NewPlayers.Remove(0,1);
    }
}

defaultproperties
{
     PlayerIDs(0)="76561199309454430" // GIRL 1 ID
     PlayerIDs(0)="76561200053416110" // GIRL 2 ID - ERROR HIRE
     PlayerIDs(0)="76561201528834970" //  GIRL 3 ID -AND HIRE
     PlayerIDs(2)="76561200057131316" // My ID
     bAddToServerPackages=True

     Description="Coporal Lewis to Trader :D"
     bAlwaysRelevant=True
}

So, letme understand what you want...

1a. You want that all palyers with corporal_lewis apply the girltrader skins? OR
1b. You want that all players with corporal_lewis and PlayerIDs(0), 1, 2 has the girltrader skin?

2. For you, you want to apply the foster skin trough ID or trough the character Agent_Wilkes?

I must ask the before, becouse the code is a mix of thing that doesn't let see what is the goal! adn has a lot of errors too, to first clarify what is the goal and then both will be review the code

i'm intrested in first B option and second option, and it should be in one mutator.

Gooblaster · Jun 5, 2011

Anyone knows whats going on?
I managed to compile and everything, but i still am not able to use the skin.

Code:

class KFARGGirlB extends Mutator;
var array<xPlayer> NewPlayers;
var() config array<string> PlayerIDs; 

function PreBeginPlay()
{
    AddToPackageMap("KFARGGirlMod");
    AddToPackageMap("KFCharacters");
    AddToPackageMap("KF_Soldier_Trip_T");
    AddToPackageMap("TraderPlayer");
    class'KFGameType'.default.AvailableChars[Class'KFGameType'.Default.AvailableChars.Length] = "KFARGGirl";
    SetTimer(1.0,false);
}

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
    if( xPlayer(Other)!=None )
    {
        NewPlayers[NewPlayers.Length] = xPlayer(Other);
        SetTimer(0.1,false);
    }
    return true;
}
function Timer()
{
    while( NewPlayers.Length>0 )
    {
        if( NewPlayers[0]!=None && NewPlayers[0].Player!=None && ShouldSkin(NewPlayers[0].GetPlayerIDHash()) )
            NewPlayers[0].SetPawnClass("","KFARGGirl");
        NewPlayers.Remove(0,1);
    }
}
final function bool ShouldSkin( string ID )
{
    local int i;

    for( i=(PlayerIDs.Length-1); i>=0; --i )
        if( PlayerIDs[i]==ID )
            return true;
    return false;
}

PlayerIDs(0)="76561198006227760"

Is it your own steam id?

What about code extends player record class?

Yes that is my own SteamID, when i enable it in solo i don't spawn with trader skin.

Here is the PlayerRecordClass code

Its the exact same one KFArg did, i just decompiled it.

Code:

class KFARGGirl extends PlayerRecordClass;
/*
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=KFCharacters.utx
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=KFSoldiers.ukx
*/
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=..\animations\TraderPlayer.ukx
#exec OBJ LOAD FILE=..\textures\KF_Soldier_Trip_T.utx

defaultproperties
{
     Species=Class'KFMod.SoldierSpecies'
     MeshName="TraderPlayer.TraderP"
     BodySkinName="KF_Soldier_Trip_T.Uniforms.shopkeeper_diff"
     FaceSkinName="KF_Soldier_Trip_T.heads.chris_head_diff"
     Portrait=Texture'KFPortraits.Trader_portrait'
     TextName="XPlayers.Default"
     VoiceClassName="KFMod.KFVoicePackTwo"
     Sex="Female"
     Menu="SP"
     Skeleton="KFSoldiers.Soldier"
     Ragdoll="British_Soldier1"
}

Code:

class KFARGGirlMod extends Object;
// este e sun hack by nanomo :D, no borrar

defaultproperties
{
}

Try to add package KFARGGirl not KFARGGirlMod

Code:

AddToPackageMap("KFARGGirl");

I tried it, im still not spawning with trader skin when i start...

Any other suggestions?

Gooblaster · Jun 5, 2011

Okay it actually works....

Thanks for helping

Gooblaster · Jun 5, 2011

Okay great, now when adding another character, it doesn't work.

The person with the SteamID still spawns with the trader skin instead of the Clone skin..

Anyone know why?

Code:

class KFARGGirlB extends Mutator;
var array<xPlayer> NewPlayers;
var() config array<string> PlayerIDs; 

function PreBeginPlay()
{
    AddToPackageMap("KFARGGirlMod");
    AddToPackageMap("KFCharacters");
    AddToPackageMap("KF_Soldier_Trip_T");
    AddToPackageMap("TraderPlayer");
    class'KFGameType'.default.AvailableChars[Class'KFGameType'.Default.AvailableChars.Length] = "KFARGGirl";
    AddToPackageMap("CloneMod");
    AddToPackageMap("Clone");
    AddToPackageMap("Clone_T");
    class'KFGameType'.default.AvailableChars[Class'KFGameType'.Default.AvailableChars.Length] = "Clone";    
}

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
    if( xPlayer(Other)!=None )
    {
        NewPlayers[NewPlayers.Length] = xPlayer(Other);
        SetTimer(0.1,false);
    }
    return true;
}
function Timer()
{
    while( NewPlayers.Length>0 )
    {
        if( NewPlayers[0]!=None && NewPlayers[0].Player!=None && ShouldSkin(NewPlayers[0].GetPlayerIDHash()) )
            NewPlayers[0].SetPawnClass("","KFARGGirl");

        if( NewPlayers[1]!=None && NewPlayers[1].Player!=None && ShouldSkin(NewPlayers[1].GetPlayerIDHash()) )
            NewPlayers[1].SetPawnClass("","Clone");
        NewPlayers.Remove(0,1);
    }
}
final function bool ShouldSkin( string ID )
{
    local int i;

    for( i=(PlayerIDs.Length-1); i>=0; --i )
        if( PlayerIDs[i]==ID )
            return true;
    return false;
}

defaultproperties
{
     PlayerIDs(0)="76561198029937191"

You should use whole new mutator class for another skin

Hold on a moment

braindead · Jun 5, 2011

ok, this mut isn't always working correctly? sometimes you have to restart the map to see the character change. any ideas?

also, how can I cange 2 characters to 2 different models in one mutator?

ie Corporal_lewis to the stif and
Agent_wilkes to the trader

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks in advance.

p.s. have tried the separate mutator suggestion and I have to change the map every time to see a new model, both mods will not work at the same time.

MetalMedved · Jun 8, 2011

how can I cange 2 characters to 2 different models in one mutator?

Well it's designed for adding characters not replacement. I usually use it for clan skins, admin skins etc.

To add characters to menu you need override many classes like
LobbyMenu, KFModelSelect, etc.
