Problem with Launch SP Framework.bat

lo all

When i run the Launch SP Framework.bat file i get this error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-03-03_02.42]

Could not spawn a GUI Controller!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help me

If you go into SPFrame.log, it should give you more details about the error. Usually, when you get the above error, you're missing a package or file that the GUIController depends on? Could you paste the entire error message from the SPFrame.log file?

Ok, some questions:

1) Do you have a CodeBase.u file in your /SPFrame/System folder?

2) Are you patched up-to-date? The earlier patches don't have mod support at all.

3) Did you install the entire mod to /UT2004/SPFrame/ ?

 

[Y3AG3R]

1)yes I have
2)i'am not patched the game
3)yes

but when I copy the SP folders contents in the game folders : it run without any errors

 

[Parser]

You should really patch the game then! You're missing out on a lot, not just mod support.

Another dumb question...

I want to know how to activate/deactivate triggers. You see, in my map, I have a trigger that is not initially activated, but I haven't been able to turn that trigger on after hitting another trigger.

To be specific, I want to make it so after hitting the USE button for SPInGameMessageTrigger, a normal touch-trigger is turned on.

Thank all y'all.

(sry this is a repeat, but I just wanna get this answered if possible)

1. You mean weapons that just doesn't respawn? If you're planning to do a total single-player experience (no coop, so no player respawn) that might require a bit of code modification. I can help you out on this if needs be.

2. Yeah, that's kind of a side effect from modifying the damage function - because it's not a "team" game if I didn't modify it players could kill each other constantly in a coop game, which could arise to "lameness", so to speak.

3. Do you mean the checkpoint system or the actual save/load function? If it's the latter, just use the menu to save or load. If it's the former, I'll help you with a map example if you would like one.

1.) Heh, it didn't come to my mind that anyone could make coop "SP" -mod with the framework. But yeah, I want to make a series of SP-only maps. Would be cool if you can help me with this.

2.) Ok, not a big problem really.

3.) Well, _how_ do you save in-game? I know that there is a save/load menu in the main menu, but there is no way to get there without
forfeit/disconnect. Is there a console command to save?

Works ingame and when you save/cancel it doesn't disconnect you.

 

[madspacemarinemustdie]

Ok, it works now. Had to uninstall/install ut.

 

[lvlorpheus]

Hmmm if we don't do a SP mod, I'll give this a try

Problem with monsters

I placed SPMonster_Manta in my map and in game on that place, where I put this monster, is manta and shieldgun. When I kill manta, shieldgun disappear and all is OK. How insert manta without hereof shieldgun in my map?




Sorry for my terrible english.

 

[Parser]

I think I understand what you mean. When you place an actual monster (example SPMonster_Manta) in the map, it spawns with a ShieldGun and AssaultRifle because of the gametype. I think I know how to fix this, and I will do.

For now, though, try using a TriggeredMonsterSpawn under SPActors - once triggered you can spawn monsters with custom health, AIScript, tag and event properties (if you want). Basically, spawn the monsters through a trigger, don't place them in the map!

 

[Darky]

Thanx.

 

[Creavion]

Hey guys, any updates of your sp framework after this very long time???

 

[Parser]

Yeah, now that you mention it..

pBoost (Return to Nyleve) likes the idea of using the framework, and he suggested that I make the cows/rabbits/nali more interactive, so I've recoded some of the monsters, including the above and the titans/queens/mercs, so that they have a wider variety of expressions and sounds.

I'm also going to address the transition/load gear at start mixup, and maybe add some new actors/features. Any suggestions?

 

[Choel]

Is it just me, or does it seem like Titans have unlimited health?

While I was playing a map, the previously mentioned Titan killed a Behemoth. That Behemoth went ahead and respawned. Is that intentional? If so, how would I go about changing it.

I haven't tried using the TriggeredMonsterSpawn actor yet, I'm gonna do that now. Maybe it'll fix both problems.

 

[meowcat]

Parser: I love the framework so far (actually inspired me to try and make a SP portion of my mod). Suggestions for added features:
1. Adding additional bot behavior code would be handy for placed pawns. I have been messing with the bot code (added patrolling etc.) and the ability to set those up in a pawn in the map is pretty handy. Of course that could take a lot of time though.... but even UnrealI scriptedpawn AI would be alright.

2. Triggered cutscenes, intro and outro (kind of like assault). This would be really great to add to the experience. I suppose the cutscenes would just be triggers that switch the PlayerController(s) view to some "camera position" long enough to see whatever it is to see then switches back. Being able to set intro/outro information up in the SPLevelInfo (or where ever appropriate) would be handy.

 

[Nexys]

Hey there. First, let me just say a big THANK YOU for the SP Framework. I hope you keep it updated with more goodies.

I have an issue, though. I'd like to change the type of light that is spawned for the lightsuit, and also eliminate the power indicator. I'm only a dabbler in code, but I'm willing to get my hands dirty if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

That can be done with Matinees (as in AS).
Or are you looking for something with more features?
