HELP

i got this errorError: C:\UNREALTOURNAMENT\Koth\Classes\Kothscoreboard.uc(32) : Error, Redefinition of 'function DrawNameandPing' differs from original whats going on with the code CA?

Check the parent class of the class the function "DrawNameandPing" is in.
The function probably uses wrong return or parameter types or something like that.

In one of the patches (432 iirc) Epic changed a few functions relating to the HUD & score board, you may remember that this broke quite a lot of mods around at the time.
The KOTH tute dates from quite a while before this, and the code definately worked at the time, I know becuase I used a tweaked version in a mod I was working on.
If you look in TournamentScoreBoard you'll see that DrawNameAndPing has one more parameter (bCompressed).

If you look in TournamentScoreBoard you'll see that DrawNameAndPing has one more parameter (bCompressed).
So what does this mean

 

[mr.s-d]

It means use the declaration for DrawNameAndPing that's in TournamentScoreBoard, as there's an additional parameter.

 

[Dr Slue]

I noticed that too.
It means that the function line should say:
function DrawNameAndPing(Canvas Canvas, PlayerReplicationInfo PRI, float XOffset, float YOffset, bool bCompressed)
instead of: function DrawNameAndPing(Canvas Canvas, PlayerReplicationInfo PRI, float XOffset, float YOffset)

But even then, it gets another error saying: Error, Unrecognised type 'kothbotreplicationinfo'.
Why isn't this class defined in the tutorial?
Could someone make the necessary code and edit the tutorial so that it actually works? I would really appreciate that since i am using a lot of that code as a base for the first project that i am working on.

 

[Dr Slue]

Could someone please a) fix up the code on the tutorial itself.
b) just post the necessary finishing code here or
c) move this thread to the Coding Forum so that more people will see it and be able to help.
Thanks, because i really need this code to start out on my first project.

i must have typed something wrong before, because i tryed it again and it worked just fine. Just copy the KothPlayerReplicationInfo code and change the necessary words from 'player' to 'bot' and it all compiles just nicely.
My mod seems to be working quite nicely now...even though it is just the base gametype and HUD (alterred HUD) and a silly little scoreboard.
The next things on my agenda are: Changing the Practice Session window to get rid of some stuff, making a 'FinishZone'(if the player reaches this, they are the winner), perhaps a StartZone, a more customised HUD, game start-up messages and many other things. Argh! Oh well, all the base stuff is done and that is what matters most.

 

[Lemoni]

cool ill try that thanks

 

[Lemoni]

it worked thanks slew it compiled, u want to get together to make a tut/mod?

 

[Dr Slue]

like what? i'm interested, since i'm only beginning, but also because i'm just starting to get a bit better.
I actually made my own ammo last night It looks like a grenade, too bad i can't skin though Oh, and it came out about 3 times too large. hehe
then i made it as the projectile also for a grenade launcher (from one of the tutorials on chimeric) and it was quite fun seeing grenades the size of you flying around a little test level that i made.
Anyway.
If you want to discuss it more, you can email me @ Drslue@gamesden.net.au.

Stupid quetsion but, to use koth do i make a map zone it and put koth zone in it?

 

[2COOL4-U]

Yes

 

[Lemoni]

lol thanks
how do i modify to code to have random zone selection
eg zone 1 2 min with a player changes to zone 3 etc (rozing zones).?

 

[2COOL4-U]

Sorry don't get you

 

[Lemoni]

in perfect dark if the zone counter reaches end of limit the active koth zone will move, how do i get it to move to a new zone.

ME A LAMO HOW DO i actually use it in ut i added a zone portal to my level then made this int file[Public]
Object=(Name=Koth.KOTH,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus)

Preferences=(Caption="KOTH",Parent="Game Types",Class=Koth.kothGame,Immediate=True)
is this right?

 

[mr.s-d]

Nope, should be:

Object=(Name=Koth.KOTH,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.TournamentGameInfo)

 

[Lemoni]

done that but i end up with a blank pannel
WTF is wrong?[Public]
Object=(Name=Koth.KOTH,Class=Class,MetaClass=Botpack.TournamentGameInfo)

Preferences=(Caption="KOTH",Parent="Game Types",Class=Koth.kothGame,Immediate=True)
