I Like This Perk, :)

But there's one small problem, lack balance the weapons.

The blue Gravity, I have a good idea of what to do with it (besides increasing the price, making the weapon have to wait for a recharge equal to the medical syringe) that is possible between 3 and 5 shots per wave, could even make the player stand a faster recharge the weapon, which would be interesting extramamente. (And leave it there until you can increase the level of the player)

How to know something of the code UT2004 (I corrected the price and damage of some weapons) but still do not have enough knowledge to make the blue gravity the way I described above.

Another idea would be to make a timer for the turrets (which was overheating as a weapon) then she had to stop shooting for a while to cool.

Another thing (is to make the Scrake Husk and affect more damage to turrets and Sentrys.) (Since they use weapons in hand)

I'll research more codes next week and maybe I can do something. :confused:

Can you make the advanced welder a stand-alone mutator? I cant find any such mut anywhere...only have been using it in KFL-mod. I need it to repair turrets. Sorry, but i do not use Sentry above v1.04...

PS! I don

Sentry Tech Advanced Welder Problem

Sentry Tech Advanced Welder Problem

Hey i am loving the sentry tech perk, but i am having one issue with it. If you take the advanced welder to a door the server will go kaput. Had to disable the Advanced Welder from the class.

This was the error thrown on the server when someone tried to weld a door

Code:
Critical: UObject::ProcessEvent
Critical: (AdvancedWelderFire KF-Arcade-Gas-Station-V1.AdvancedWelder.AdvancedWelderFire0, Function SentryTechWeapV110.AdvancedWelderFire.Timer)
Critical: UWeaponFire::ModeTick
Critical: AActor::Tick
Critical: ABaseKFWeapon::Tick
Critical: TickAllActors
Critical: ULevel::Tick
Critical: (NetMode=1)
Critical: TickLevel
Critical: UGameEngine::Tick
Critical: Level Arcade-Gas-Station
Critical: UpdateWorld
Critical: UServerCommandlet::Main
Exit: Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Exit: Exiting.

Hmm, i have heard about people have problems with the advanced welder doing that, and that is why I was iffy on placing it on the perk. But, after testing it, and i use it on both my modded servers still, I haven't had any issues with it. :confused: does the server crash any time someone welds a door with it? Or was it just that one time.?

Great job on the perk, just what i was looking for, was thinking of making something similar myself but now i don't have to :)
I installed it on one of my servers just now for testing.

All works great except for the advancedwelder, i walked up to a zombie and tried welding it and instant server crash, same with anything else i try to weld.

i've removed it from the trader.

The same thing happens with other scripts which use extension of welding classes (weldarmour / vehicles scripts) apparently some TWI update a while ago changed something to welding mechanics?

Tested it twice just to make sure and it seems to be everytime. I have the cust weld armor mutator in the server but not loaded do you think it may conflict?

I just now realized, i never updated a newer version once TWI updated the melee damage type... I thought I had put an update for that, but, I hadn't. :( Do not use the advanced welder until i get an update posted. Sorry again :( I honestly thought I had updated this on here but, I never did... :\ I'll try to get one up as soon as I can.

UPDATE: V111



Update: V111

1. Fixed Advanced Welder, no longer will crash the server, due to the damage type switch TWI changed in November.

2. Added Flare Gun, for those dark areas ;) Thanks goes to 3xzet, for creating this weapon :)

3. Added SentryTech ini file, to allow user to set damage and health of portal turret. Also, a setting that will or will not allow the turret to be knocked over. Preset to be stationary. :)

4. Other small changes I cannot remember :)

Enjoy :D

Hello,

And thanks for your fabulous mutator.

I have a problem with "SentryTechWeapV111.TechHL_BlueGravityGunPickup"

The players said to me that this weapon is too powerful and that it don't perk. Could you lower the power of this weapon ?

Thanks a lot.

Your welcome :)

Do not add the weapon to the trader if your players on the server do not like the weapon. :) I increased the price because it's an extremely powerful weapon. ;) However, depending on how much money your server starts out with and what level players start out, depends on how easy it will be to get the weapon. I would suggest not adding it to your trader list, if your server is not setup to need such a powerful weapon :)
