    At me idea. The player has two weapons: the automatic device and a shot-gun (for example). In the left hand thrusts the automatic device, in right - a shot-gun. Presses on the mouse and starts to shoot with two hands. It really to make?

    Make a new item, add condition numbers so that you can only use it when you have 20 of each (you're looking for condition 0) and finally add effect number 16 to take 20 from bullets, ether and add 20 sniper bullets.

    I'm assuming that the automatic device is another weapon. If so look at the modding library: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.monkkonen.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=944&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15">viewtopic.php?f=8&t=944&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15</a><!-- l -->

    Check debug_start.txt int he main Notrium directory once it crashes before it even starts. The problem should be right at the bottom of the document. Usually you're missing out on a line or did something like this:

    begin_conditions;
    end_conditions;
    16;//effect number
    1.000000;//parameter1
    1.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    begin_effects;
    end_effects;
    end_effects_block;

    how do i make it so the character starts with an item like how the human always starts with the flashlight etc...
    #
    Aegis 16 years ago
    Go to the player_races file and scroll down until you see entries in the specialties section which usually start with "start". Eg.

    Start with (item);//description
    3;//specialty
    0;//difficulty level
    none;//message
    15;//parameter0 - item number
    1;//parameter1 - amount
    0;//parameter2
    0;//parameter3

    Thank you but every thing is swarming with items and props
    #
    SmokinBaraka 16 years ago
    i just thought that maybe, if the map your making is currently just ONE area (as in you don't walk to the left into another area), then in the plot objects file, it says like spawn so many items, it may be having to spawn all those items in that ONE area, so it would be overly crowded with items/props, so you could try just temporarily make the whole area no random objects to stop this, or edit the plot_objects file as to spawn only a few of each thing

    this is just a thought, i dont know if im right or wrong (new to this stuff dont forget) but i like to try and help
    #
    MageKing17 16 years ago
    Actually, I'm about 90% sure those are defined in the areas file, not the plot_objects file.
    #

    Whether it is possible to make the weapon, shooting different types of shells. In particular, a nade.
    #
    Aegis 15 years ago
    Yes. We can see this in the Opposing Forces mod. I'll use a handgun as an example. You'll need an item which runs a script. That script will take away the handgun with effect number 16 and replace with a different handgun, which fires different bullets.

    Start with shellmaker;//description
    3;//specialty
    0;//dificulty level
    none;//message
    215;//parameter0
    1;//parameter1
    0;//parameter2
    0;//parameter3
    cannot drop shellmaker;//description
    4;//specialty
    0;//difficulty level
    none;//message
    215;//parameter0
    0;//parameter1
    0;//parameter2
    0;//parameter3

    this is what i have in player-races to make my human start with a shotgun shell maker, but when i try to play the game, it like freezes at "generating new game", when i remove it from player races teh game works?, is there something wrong with this entry?
    #
    Aegis 15 years ago
    Nothing is wrong with that, by the looks of it. Check the shellmaker in items.dat
    #
    Teshin 15 years ago
    How can I edit the animations.dat file? I tried to edit the text but Notrium didn't work after that..
    #
    Aegis 15 years ago
    Make sure that that the amount of frames matches what you have down there. Eg:

    Intro;//name-----------------------------------
    0;//identifier
    intro.jpg;//texture
    4;//frames
    Story stuff;
    600;//text_y
    0;//start_x
    0;//start_y
    403;//end_x
    767;//end_y
    Other story;
    50;//text_y
    403;//start_x
    0;//start_y
    1024;//end_x
    350;//end_y
    Even more story;
    50;//text_y
    400;//start_x
    0;//start_y
    1024;//end_x
    350;//end_y
    Stuff to make the reader think;
    50;//text_y
    0;//start_x
    0;//start_y
    1024;//end_x
    768;//end_y

    fifth 15 years ago
    well, my english is kinda bad but i'll try my best to describe my problem:
    i wanna make a weapon that is like three (or more/less) kannons on each side of the player like this:
    thats the player
    |
    V
    ___
    | |
    | |A--------
    | |
    | |B--------
    | |
    | |C-------
    | |
    well, A B and C are the kannons and the strokes are the bullets (remember the cannons have to be on both sides)
    and of course you can't aim with em they are bound to the players direction
    the best would be if they wouldnt shoot all at once (first a shoots then b then c)
    i hope you guys can give me a hint how to make a weapon like that (if its possible)(muhahahahaha if you can say me how to do this i finaly get my battleships working )

    That sounds like a great idea! First of all you need 3 different weapons. When you fire the A weapon you lose the A item (effect 16), gain the B item (effect 16) and then wield the B item (effect 59). Then it can simply rotate through all three. Eg:

    begin_fire_effects;
    16;//effect number
    4.000000;//parameter1
    -1.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    16;//effect number
    5.000000;//parameter1
    1.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    59;//effect number
    5.000000;//parameter1
    0.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    end_fire_effects;

    Double check the image and the weapon frames in player_races.

    I think your problem is that you don't have the item which opens the inventory. Notrium doesn't automatically assign "I" to the inventory, you need to do it yourself. In Barebones, however, this has already been done for you. Simply pick up "default item" and then try.

    fifth 15 years ago
    ah, thanks for this but i still got the main problem how to make em shoot to the left/right like the cannons of a ship. (sorry im realy not good at modding yet)

    edit: i know its starting to get ridiculous but i just realised that i would have to place the canons by myself so they wont be all at one spot. if anybody would have a clue how to place em at designated spots around the player id be the gladest modder you ever saw (hope you're even able to understant what i wanna say)

    MageKing17 15 years ago
    Effect 24:

    24=fire weapon parameter1, times parameter2, (parameter3, 0=normal direction, 1=towards nearest enemy, 2=random direction, 3=shoot in direction parameter4 from the creature, 4=shoot in absolute direction parameter4),

    So you want it to look like this:

    24;//effect
    <number of your weapon>;//parameter1
    1;//parameter2
    3;//parameter3
    <direction you want to shoot in>;//parameter4

    Guys (& gals) I have a problem... I want to include a shop in my mod, this is a simple menu based shop system However... the buy concept is fine, its the sell... in principle the Idea is thus: when the play obtains an item the item in question is deposited in the players inventory... this happens all the time in Notrium... BUT a secondary 'sell: (Item name)' is placed in the Sell menu of the shop.

    This item simply removes the sold item from the player inventory and adds the currency value to the player's purse.

    Problem... the player can simply drop the sell-able item (but the option to sell it remains... the condition (0=must have item parameter0 amount parameter1) will prevent the player from being able to use the 'sell: ' item but it will clutter up the sell menu) is there any known way of remedying this?
    #
    Aegis 15 years ago
    You have two options for this. I highly recommend the first one as it will not clog up the scripts file and game performance will be better. But the first one will require you to change some of your selling stuff and buying and selling will be done in seperate inventories.

    1. Give all items a second use key (I recommend "s"). The effect under this should then detect whether the player is near the shop plot_object (Condition 1) and the normal selling effects would then apply. Here's an example for double item uses:

    begin_effects_block;
    Item used!;//event text
    none;//event failure text
    use.wav;//sound, none for nothing
    0;//vanishes after event, 0=no, 1=yes
    U;//use key
    -1;//quick key
    begin_conditions;
    end_conditions;
    begin_effects;
    0;//effect number
    0.000000;//parameter1
    0.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    end_effects;
    Sold!;//event text -Start of next use
    none;//event failure text
    use.wav;//sound, none for nothing
    0;//vanishes after event, 0=no, 1=yes
    S;//use key
    -1;//quick key
    begin_conditions;
    1;//condition
    4.000000;//condition parameter0
    94.000000;//condition parameter1
    end_conditions;
    begin_effects;
    0;//effect number
    0.000000;//parameter1
    0.000000;//parameter2
    0.000000;//parameter3
    0.000000;//parameter4
    end_effects;
    end_effects_block;


    2. Make several constantly running scripts which detect if the player has the item, and then the items get taken away etc.
    #
    Admiral 15 years ago
    Yes 1. sounds MUCH easier than 2. (I had planned for buy/sell to be in different inventories: The player uses the shop item: selects buy/sell: buys/sells: returm to shop menu or leave)

    Though (it came to me last night ) it might work if certain shops only bought certain items from the player... the later in the game, the more items the shop will buy from the player. So there is a set number of 'sell: item' items in the sell menu?

    I'll try both and see.

    Many thanks Aegis

    People how to put sectors in the certain order on a map, as in OP and Tutorial, but on two axes X and Y.
    #
    Redemption 15 years ago
    Edit map.dat (You will need to edit areas.dat to give each area it's own class).
    #
    FaV 15 years ago
    How? With the isolated areas all is clear. With starting - too. But how to establish two axes. In tutorial I have found law (area class 0-7), but the second axis?
    Меня понятно?\Me it is clear?
    #
    MageKing17 15 years ago
    Look at the default Notrium's map... it gives a pretty clear example.
    #
    FaV 15 years ago
    But they are random generated on a map!
    #
    MageKing17 15 years ago
    So? How does this stop you from seeing how to make a 2-dimensional map?
    #
    FaV 15 years ago
    We each other have not understood. I have created 20 maps \ sectors and I want, that they settled down on a global map of all Notrium how it is necessary for me. Shall tell, that one sector was above another, and the third - at the left and other.
    #
    Redemption 15 years ago
    -1;-1;-1;-1;-1
    -1;-1; 1;-1;-1
    -1; 4; 0; 2;-1
    -1;-1; 3;-1;-1
    -1;-1;-1;-1;-1

    The above code is an example of a left/right and up/down map. From the start area (0) the player will have the option to go up (to 1), right (to 2), down (to 3) or left (to 4). The numbers (excluding the -1's) are area class numbers from areas.dat, so area 3 for example will be any area with a class of 3. The vertical placements of areas is the same as horizontal placement, only the areas are placed above each other instead of to the side.

    my question is similar to this one.
    i have created my map, named it but now need to get its climate and everything else sorted out, but have no idea how
    please help
    #
    Aegis 15 years ago
    Go to to areas.dat. Create an entry for your maps and fill in the climate_type lines. The climates are from climate_types.dat.
