I need to make this drop objective hidden from the player at the start, and when the player finds the item, then gives a new objective for him to drop the book

at a certain place. I tried using hidden objective but that just stops it completing at all. So how do you do this?

 

While I'm at it, is there an easier way to setup a briefing using a video than as mentioned in the wiki? Sounds awfully complicated

and the video intro is definitely how I want to go.

When your objective is hidden at mapstart, you can use a atdm:target_setobjective_visibility entity to switch the visibility. I have one hidden objective in my WIP, that becomes visible, when a certain item is picked up. I have simply set it up with an S/R Frob on the item that is to be picked up, with the effect "Trigger atdm:target_setobjective_visibility". That way it works for me. See also the "Objectives Editor" article on the Wiki. It is described in more detail there.

Ahhh thank you Destined. Another, is there an easier way to do a intro video briefing that the wiki says? Or do we have to do it that way?

I thought the easiest way was to just replace the TDM logo video with your own under the same filename in your pk4. Then it plays automatically. It just has to be in the right format.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Do you know what .roq format is? I saw in the file tdm_gui01.pk4 in videos was briefing.roq so I'm guessing that's where it goes. I'll go through some other fms and see if I can find it. Then google it. In case I don't find it, if you know just post it here pls.

 

Thanks

Is there a way to have a door close on it's own after say 10 seconds?

This is a switched door, not a normal door, and that spawnarg doesn't seem to work. I tried it on both the door and the switch. My fault, I should've mentioned that lol

 

Also, I'd the players voice to tell him to follow an specifiy AI, trigger_entity do that?

Create a trigger_multiple entity, make it so that no one can touch it (I believe the spawnarg is simply notouch) and then set the wait on that for 10 seconds. Once the door has been opened, trigger the timer which is targeted back at the door and after 10 seconds it will close.

The easiest way would be to make a trigger_once brush (create brush, right click create entity -> trigger_once). When the player walks into that the brush will trigger its targets, such as the speaker. The speaker needs the spawnargs s_waitfortrigger "1" and s_global "1".

 

 

The proper name for the spawnarg I mentioned earlier is actually auto_close_time. Is that the one you used?

I don't think that would work Dragofer, since the player will enter this room a couple of times. I need it so a specific AI triggers it. I thought Trigger_Entity could do it

as I could name the entity. However I don't know how to use the players voice, as I'd rather do that than use a speaker which would be displaced from the player.

 

There's no way to know where the player would be in the room when it's triggered. What does s_global 1 do?

 

Yes I used that spawnarg D

 

One last thing. Crowind is doing a video for the FM, so I'm wondering how to play it? I thought just replace the TDM video, but then how

do I skip the briefing part which would be empty? How is it usually done?

An alternative then is to let one of the AI's path nodes target the speaker, so he triggers the speaker when he reaches the node.

 

s_global makes the sound play in the whole map at the same volume, so it could sound like the player is saying it. s_omni on the other hand makes it sound like it comes from all directions equally but will still have falloff in volume depending on how close you are to the speaker.

 

Regarding auto_closing doors, best extract the .map from St. Alberic's curse and copy over the spawnargs from one of the doors in the church to be absolutely certain.

 

Briefings I'm not sure about. Do you maybe have a briefing.xd file that you could delete, if you used the starter pack?

Yeh the door is sorted now. Goldwells method solves it beautifully.

 

Don't think I can use an AI node either as this is the AI for the drop object, and his node is targeted through Stim Response system rather

than a straight target. What about a trigger_once_entity? I've tried a few ways to do it, but nothing is working. See he has to set off

before the sound plays (obviously lol) as he's saying I should follow him.

 

Oh when will your map be done? Can't wait to see it.

 

Thanks once again

The speaker gets triggered the moment the AI hits the path node which targets the speaker, so the way how the AI is told to walk to the node doesn't have an influence.

 

A trigger once entityname brush is also an option. It needs the entityname spawnarg, naming the AI.

 

 

Oh when will your map be done? Can't wait to see it.

Interesting that you should ask: I'd like to wrap things up this week and enter beta next week. It looks like the community is set for a double release.

The problem is he only has one node, and it's on the other side of the house. So by the time he gets there, it's too late to tell the player to follow him

 

So I figured I'd use the Stim Response on the AI when we setup the dropitem set ai on patrol. This is the setup on the new effect etc.

 

Trigger response, new effect add target to trigger relay, with a delay added to the relay, and targets a trigger_once (make sure sound plays once), then use that to target the speaker. Problem is the sound plays as soon as the AI is triggered, and the delay isn't working, even though it's setup exactly the same as the delay I used to unlock that door awhile ago. This should work. Just need to get the delay issue sorted.

 

Since you'rs is almost done, I played One Step to Far tonight. Really nice map. Only criticism, was the beach texture was the wrong scale. How the hell did you make such a large area as that final map perform so well?

 

Yeh I'm just waiting on a video and working out how to show it and I'm done. So yeh double release lol haha. After I saw ur pics in the WIP thread can't wait to play it.

If you want to insert an ROQ i'm pretty sure all you need to do is the following:

 

Create a folder inside your FM called "guis" (if you haven't already) and inside that create a file called "mainmenu_custom_defs.gui" and paste the following inside it:

Rename your ROQ to "briefing.roq" and place that in a folder in your FM folder called "video".

 

Now the only thing you have to change is the milliseconds of the video (I'm sure Crowind could help you out there if you need help) and search in that guis file for "#define MM_BRIEFING_VIDEO_LENGTH_1 139000" and then change that "139000" number to whatever the ms for your video is.

 

Now you need to add in the audio file. Just export the audio track of the briefing video as an OGG and call it "briefing_video.ogg" now place that file in your "basefmfolder\sound\video"

 

The last step to this is creating a simple material file. Create "briefing.mtr" in "basefmfolder\materials\" and place the following inside it:

video/briefing
{
	 qer_editorimage textures/editor/video
	 {
		  videoMap video/briefing.roq
		  
	 }
}

I hope this helps, but that should be everything you need to get it working. If you need any further clarification just open up any mission i've released as they all have briefing videos and reverse engineer that :)

You're a legend Goldwell. Thanks mate. Question. Why can't you just add the audio to the video file? Does .roq not play audio? So good, I've been trying to work

this out, today so perfect timing. :)

I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games. Come and have look here:

I'm not too sure why but when I tried to keep the ROQ audio in the video file it was just mute. Taking an educated guess i'd say maybe the engine can't read audio from ROQ's only video which is why it needs to be it's own separate ogg track.. but that's just a stab in the dark.

 

For a while there has been some proper codec implementation mentioned (like AVI, MP4 sort of codecs) but I don't think any programmers have taken that on board sadly so for now we're stuck with ROQ's.

Question: is there functionality for FM outro videos reserved for the end or mid-play (as in videos that play in a specific location once the player reaches it)? Does the engine have that function as it was possible in T:DS?

I am aware of the in-engine supported cutscenes that NHAT and Somewhere above the city had.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
