Half-Dead's Random Replacement Release Thread

[Valken]

Here is trick...

First, verify your original KF files first.
Install the revised versions, but when it asks you to overwrite the UCL files in the system folder, don't it.

Instead use the attached UCL files. I just changed the file and character names so it shows up in addition to the original KF files.

Copy it into your KillingFloor\System folder. It won't overwrite anything.

Then add these "models" to ServerPerks or Flux's Custom Character mods - model listings using the file names without the UCL extension.

It will show up if you run your own listen or dedicated servers now with either of those mutators.

But it won't show up on internet servers unless the servers are also running the same UCL files or have replaced the character with these files.

I joined a Russian server and the skins did show up for some of the players. You should be able to select it since you have the UCL files associated now.

It won't overwrite or screw up your default KF files.

That'd make it NOT white-listed if I use server perks or Flux's Custom Character mods. And as I said before, many times, OTHER MODS which do EXACTLY same thing WORK for me, just not these made by Half-Dead. Also, I verified the KF files too, and it didn't help. Only thing it did was made me have to fix my .ini file again.

Added MW3 AK-47 to OP

 

[halbridious]

wow, nice i love the COD AK47

 

[mooarchanox]

Ak47 looks really cool ! throwing in the 3rd person too will be amazing !

thanks :IS2:

 

[halbridious]

Its just a texture and animation... i was kinda disappointed, not gonna lie :/

 

[Half-Dead]

Added MW3 M4 to OP

Edit: Removed for now fixing something

Edit 2: Fixed

 

[halbridious]

does it actually change the model or anything? is there a mutator or is it just replacement? because i'd rather not replace my files when a quick mutator works much cleaner...

 

[Half-Dead]

It replaces files. The reason for this is so that it's clientside (so you can play anywhere on any server with it) and because it doesn't need to be whitelisted (Which could take time)

 

[halbridious]

can we get a mutator version? I won't replace files. there's no need for that, especially when whitelisting is right around the corner and you're not replacing balance issues.

Thanks a bunch for these, Half-Dead. It's nice to see replacements in the vein of source and gold source engine games. Keep up the awesome work!

Loving the red dot sight on the M4, much less obtrusive than the stock one.

Maybe some sort of M14 replacement next or in the future? People seem to get fed up with the iron sight for that.

 

[Valken]

I like the new weapons but on PURE servers, it would start to redownload the stock weapon animation and textures for both AK and M4.

No problem with the zed textures though... It might be better if there was another way just for non-whitelisted server use such as renaming the animation and texture files then modifying only the UCL file.

Edit 2:
Now I finally got a bit further with it and could choose my character to be the cop... and just take a look at this:

Incorrectly specified MaterialID
Should be as 1,2,3
but not 1,3,4
This can be corrected in 3dsMax

 

[Half-Dead]

Updated the AK-47, added Scar and M4M203 and packed all of the MW3 weapons together. Also Valken I've been able to join any server no problem with the weapons so i suggest verifying your content then reinstalling the mods. I'll also do some testing with other computers to make sure that it works for everyone.

 

[Valken]

Thanks Half Dead.

You can try to connect to any of the Wolf Pack Clan servers for testing. As soon as I connected, it started to re-download the stock AK and M4 texture animations (which were no compressed and was slow).

Same on "The Dedicated" server. I had to reinstall the original files then connected with no downloading of stock content.

The old school zed skins works perfectly though... I'm thinking it is a server side setting affect this.

I haven't had any issues with re-downloading yet, and I've been on a few servers with the weapon replacements. I'd be interested to know what the variable is that's responsible for it though. (That way I can make sure it's disabled on mine.)

Interesting, I tried to join a WPC server like you and it started to redownload the files. But anywhere else i went it's fine. What i suggest doing is having the original files if you plan on playing on WPC servers. But the majority (like 99%) of the servers you join should be fine.

 

[Valken]

I think it may be a mod conflict for servers. I tested again on a few non modded servers and it works fine like you said.

When I join a server running serverperks, it would start to download different versions of content with the same file name. I think it has something to do with the way servers cache the files in use or it is enforcing file consistency.

Is there a tool to take a resource file and put that into the KF CACHE folder? I think if we can put the original files into the cache folder, it would allow us to use your files client side, and when we join those specific servers, the original files now in cache would show up instead.

 

[Half-Dead]

Ah ha problem solved. After some messing around i was able to fix it so you can join any server. Please redownload

 

[Gartley]

I was going to suggest it was serverperks, especially when it comes to player skins. That's why I suggested taking a look at that thread. But if you've gotten it all working that's good.

On a side note that's something of an unexpected benefit that serverperks forces client/server file match.
