Fixing the Nali?

[Bane]

it should, but IIRC that'd require the clients to have it as well, and I mean not just in their cache. A better solution should be to make a mutator that replaces the normal naliplayer with the new version. Can't remember if you can actually change a playerclass without making a whole new gameinfo though.

[Krokus]

Put it in serverpackages and boot server with the class line?
That would work for all players right?

[Bane]

no, ?class= should only affect the local player. For a dedicated server, there is no local player so there'd be no effect.

Someone would either have to download the .u, change their class to the fixed version of the naliplayer and join the server, or join the server, download/load the cache file, then rejoin the server with ?class=. Trying to change the playerclass any sooner than that would result in a crash due to a missing player class, even if they have the file downloaded in their cache. And after closing unreal they won't be able to start it again because unreal won't be able to find the playerclass, leading to an instant crash.

Compare to a properly working serverside playerclass changer; people join with naliplayer, which will never be a missing class, and upon joining the server become a fixednaliplayer.

So...
I need a mutator to do it.
How to make it a mutator?

[GreatEmerald]

Eh? Shouldn't it just appear in your Player Options as NaliFix?

need a .int file.. :p

also, you can use a game rule in 227.. which are much like mutators

Code: Select all

function class ModifyPlayerSpawnClass( string Options, Class AClass )
{
      if( NextRules!=None )
            Return NextRules.ModifyPlayerSpawnClass(Options,AClass);
      Return AClass;
}

It needs to be able to run on a 225 server.
So a .int it is.
Any help on that too?

[スマイル・ドラゴン]

If you want a naliplayer fix for 225 you have to rip the Nali model from UT BonusPack 1, re-import it to Unreal, then completely make a playerclass for that.

I could do it someday, but I'm working on NPCMod.

[Krokus]

Hmm..
Sounds hard.
Any other way? (Simple way?)

[GreatEmerald]

Yes, all you need now is an INT file. I don't see why everyone think it's a huge problem...

Create a file naliplayerfix.int in your System folder. In it, add this code:

Code: Select all

[Public]
Object=(Name=naliplayerfix.naliplayerfix,Class=Class,MetaClass=UnrealShare.UnrealiPlayer,Description="Nali Fix")

[Krokus]

Thanks!
It works perfect!
