[MAP] Ground Force 5

[Dokujisan]

wait...there's a progs.dat in the MAP pk3 file?

[Dokujisan]

ok, I got it working and I put up a server called TURRETS! which only has gforce3 in the maplist. It seems to have a good response so far. Everyone keeps asking about variations, like "can it shoot nex shots? Can I operate it? Can you make it track faster?"

This is pretty neat stuff

Nice =)
Ronan was kind enougth to run a ctf+turrets testserver for a while, setting it up he and i added turret in .ent files for a few maps. if you are interested perhaps ronan sill gace those ent files somwhere.

As for the "can it do this and that", each turret tupe has its own .cfg fle that controls its operation. precicely what can be done depends on teh turrets but they are generaly ratehr configurable.

some maps are too evil, many people didn't really like them.

[Dokujisan]

yeah, I can understand the config files for each turret, but I can't figure out which TYPE of turret is being used on the gforce3 map. Is there a description of each of them somewhere?

[tZork]

looks like he is uing turret_mlrs

[Dokujisan]

thx.

hmmm, I tried ronan's ent files and they didn't work. The turrets show up as triangles. What would be different between using those and using the gforce3 map?

[tZork]

Did you use the 'real' install of turrets or the stuff included in the map pk3?
My guess is that you used the supplied pk3 stuff and that its incompleate (eg only includes the models used for the turrets in teh map)

[Dokujisan]

yes, that is correct. I just pulled the progs.dat out of the pk3 for gforce3.

I'll do the proper install tomorrow. Can I do it with the very latest nexuiz hotfix?

[tZork]

I compiled a new progs based on the current SVN code, it should work with the hotfix version. get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2md9m2crmbc First setup teh turrets data as descripbed in its thread, then unzip this in nexuiz/data and it should be fine.
