what is wrong with this.

[lofantasy]

can anyone tell me why this doesnt work. i got a few of the lines from a "tutorial" which didnt really show how it was supposed to work. this is ment to be run from a Server. i want this to be done from a mod because i dont want ot make my own game ver.

class myMod extends Mutator;

var int XSize, YSize;
function PostRender(canvas Canvas)
{
Canvas.Reset();
Canvas.Font = Canvas.MedFont;
Canvas.DrawColor.r = 255;
Canvas.DrawColor.g = 255;
Canvas.DrawColor.b = 255;
Canvas.SetPos(10, 500);
Canvas.DrawText("This is a test");

//tutorial..
If (NextHUDMutator!=none)
NextHUDMutator.PostRender(canvas);
//tutorial..end

Super.PostRender(Canvas);
}
//tutorial..
Simulated Function Tick(float delta)
{
If (level.netmode==NM_DedicatedServer||bHUDMutator)
Disable('Tick');
Else
RegisterHUDMutator();
}
//tutorial end
defaultproperties
{
//tutorial..
bAlwaysRelevant=True
bNetTemporary=True
RemoteRole=Role_SimulatedProxy
//tutorial..end
}

heh. I see it is from my tutorial

Um, how does it not work? compile, in game drawing bug, or what?

 

[lofantasy]

yup. its from ur tutoria..an it just didnt work. at all. it sends nothign to the client. any client sees the normal screen. but if i run it on the client (pratice game) it shows up just fine. its not helpfull if u cant use it on a server =)

 

[usaar33]

er..uh... that sux

Try removing the bnettemporary from the default...

ugh... my bad.

 

[lofantasy]

ok, i tryed taking out that bnettemp thing. but it still doesnt seem to work. when running off my server, it shows nothing still.
i have tryed using the following
simulated function PostRender(canvas Canvas)
function PostRender(canvas Canvas)
simulated function RenderOverlays(Canvas Canvas)
function RenderOverlays(Canvas Canvas)
but none seem to work.

any other ideas

 

[usaar33]

ok.. make sure postrender is simulated and also put back in the bnettemporary.

I bet your problem is that your mod isn't in the serverpackages list, right?

 

[lofantasy]

ahhh...im dumb..heh. it wasnt in the serverpackages. i didnt even think bout that since it was showing up in teh game. course i cant try it now cause my motherboard is freaking out on me =( but im sure that is what it was. thanks dood =)
