Rocket Maps?

[EduCatOR]

Are there any maps for Unreal that only have rockets? I seem to remember a map that was a large oval arena that had nothing but rockets, though I'm not entirely sure I'm not completely making it up. Could have been for UT as well I guess. Anyways, any maps that have just rockets? Or a healthy heaping of them?

Thanks

[Gizzy]

IIRC, there is a map in Unreal that goes by the name of DM-Morbias that only has Eightball guns. You could use a simple mutator to replace weapons on other maps if you wish.

[Shivaxi]

Yeah Dm-Morbias is the Rocket arena...it's in Unreal and UT99 too....infact hasn't that map been in every single version of Unreal ever? It's like a famous map

Sorry, I was n00b'n out.

Wish there were more like it....

Sorry, I was n00b'n out.  :P

Wish there were more like it....

Code: Select all

public class WhatTheFu[ch1089]k expands Mutator;

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
if(Other.IsA('Weapon') && ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.EightBall"))
return false;
if(Other.IsA('Ammo') && ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.RocketCan"))
return false;
return true;
}

Compile and save as Something.u.

Unreal DmMorbias.unr?mutator=Something.WhatTheFu[ch1089]k -server

I'm new to mods coding - but this small example shows me enough to understand how it works and where to start - cool - thanks!

One question though....(soz this is the wrong place/thread).
Is CheckReplacement a known interface - i.e. how does it get called.??

Thanks..

There are loads of rocket only maps...
Sparky from the DOG clan might be able to list a load for you..

Yes, AFAIK CheckReplacement is called every time something is spawned.

However, it would be more logical if it was like this:

Code: Select all

class WhatTheFu[ch1089]k expands Mutator;

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
if (Other.IsA('Weapon'))
{
ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.EightBall");
return true;
}
else if (Other.IsA('Ammo'))
{
ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.RocketCan")
return true;
}
else return true;
return false;
}

{

return true;
}
else if (Other.IsA('Ammo'))
{
ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.RocketCan")
return true;
}
else return true;
return false;
} 

got you Thanks!

return false;

need to check i&& !Other.isa('EightBall') and !Other.isa('RocketCan')

or else you'll get some nice infinite looping going on

[Smartball]

You also need to be careful of the default weapon  :P

Code: Select all

class EightballMut extends Mutator;

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
      if( Other.IsA('Weapon') && !Other.IsA('Eightball') && Other.Class != Level.Game.DefaultWeapon )
            return !ReplaceWith(other, "UnrealShare.Eightball");
      else if( Other.IsA('Ammo') && !Other.IsA('RocketCan') && (Level.Game.DefaultWeapon == None || Other.Class != Level.Game.DefaultWeapon.default.AmmoName) )
            return !ReplaceWith(other, "UnrealShare.RocketCan");
      else
            return Super.CheckReplacement(other, bSuperRelevant);
}

[EduCatOR]

This forum is nice, so friendly...you guys are the shit, always willing to help. Thanks!

[GreatEmerald]

Ooh, Smartball's returns are very interesting and make a lot of sense. Should be documented on the UE Wiki. Except that you also need return Super.CheckReplacement(other, bSuperRelevant); at the end, because otherwise UCC might complain about no return value.

{code}

It works identically as my code, but my code is shorter and I'm used to writing mutators like that take less time.

Yeah I fail.

Code: Select all

public class WhatTheFu[ch1089]k expands Mutator;

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
if((Other.IsA('Weapon') && !Other.IsA('EightBall')) && ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.EightBall"))
return false;
if((Other.IsA('Ammo') && !Other.IsA('RocketCan')) && ReplaceWith(Other, "UnrealShare.RocketCan"))
return false;
return true;
}

Now that's more like it.

[Smartball]

My code contains no path that doesn't return a value, so UCC should have no warnings.

return false;

Compile and save as Something.u.

Unreal DmMorbias.unr?mutator=Something.WhatTheFu[ch1089]k -server

Or just use a general-purpose mutator like WMutate

[GreatEmerald]

My code contains no path that doesn't return a value, so UCC should have no warnings.

I believe that some UCC versions complain if there are no standalone return values in return functions.

Remember this one?

That statement is false. UCC compilers ONLY give warnings if theres NO return's inside the function, unlike C++ compilers that give errors when not every path returns a value.
