    [Help] Adding a new ammotype Empty [Help] Adding a new ammotype

    Post by kkk911 Sun Dec 28, 2014 1:27 am

    So i've recently tried to add a new ammotype (rocktes for a rocket launcher), but got run into troubles, and after several attempts, i gave it up.
    Is there any tutorial for this (except Poet's one, which is writen for DOS), or can anyone write a step-by-step tutorial?
    Because i didn't seem to find a proper one.

    Another suggestion: try Poet's tutorial again. I think it should work in SDL, but now you have to specify (weapontype) in SDL. Compare the CheckWeaponChange and GiveWeapon functions between the vanilla DOS and SDL source code for an idea of how/when to use it.

    And when you run across any errors, post them here as you encounter them so we can help debug them.

    "but now you have to specify (weapontype) in SDL" What does this exactly means?
    Also: sorry for being like a newcomer (I'm in coding for 4 years now), but honestly i never applied new ammo type in any of my mods.  And a Rocket launcher that uses regular ammo just looks odd.

    I was merely saying that Poet's DOS tutorial should work in SDL. The only difference that I recall is that you have to add "(weapontype)" in some places.

    If you compare the DOS and SDL WL_AGENT routine CheckWeaponChange (or GiveWeapon), you will see how "(weapontype)" is used. If it's not added, the compiler complains about a type mismatch and won't create an EXE file.

    In your new code, you'll have to add the "(weapontype)" (without quotation marks of course) to where the compiler complains about the type mismatch. Use either of the above SDL example routines to figure out the correct placement.

    In SDL, some things must be explicitly stated, where in the DOS it wasn't necessary (I guess it was assumed by the compiler). Another example of this is the "(statefunc)" that must be added in SDL in WL_ACT2's statetypes when referencing one of those T_Chase or A_DeathScream routines.

    Hope this helps,

    Okay, i've experimenting with Poet's code a little bit, and in GiveWeapon function:

    Code:
    void GiveWeapon (int weapon)

    {
       if (weapon != wp_rocket) {
          switch (weapon) {
             case wp_pistol: GiveAmmo (4); break;
             case wp_machinegun: GiveAmmo (6); break;
             case wp_chaingun: GiveAmmo (12); break;
             case wp_rifle: GiveAmmo (6); break;
          }
       }
       else { // weapon == wp_mlauncher
    /**
          if (!gamestate.gotmlauncher) {
             gamestate.extraammo = 1;
    //         GiveAmmo (1);
             gamestate.ammo++ ;
          }
    **/
          gamestate.gotmlauncher = -1;
          GiveAmmo2 (2);
          if (gamestate.weapon != weapon /* wp_mlauncher */) {
             gamestate.weapon = gamestate.chosenweapon = weapontype;
             if (!gamestate.ammo) {
                gamestate.extraammo = 1 ;
                gamestate.ammo++ ;
             }
          }
          return;
       }

       if (gamestate.bestweapon<weapon)
          gamestate.bestweapon = gamestate.weapon
          = gamestate.chosenweapon = weapontype;

       DrawWeapon ();
    }
    I ran into these errors:


    wl_agent.cpp In function `void GiveWeapon(int)': 

    Line: 643 wl_agent.cpp expected primary-expression before ';' token 

    Line: 654 wl_agent.cpp expected primary-expression before ';' token

    your

    "= weapontype;"

    should be

    "= (weapontype) weapon;"

    in both cases.

    Ohh, i get it. That fixed it!

    Now there is another problem: When i shoot with the rocket launcher, it not just uses the new ammo, but also the regular ammo, even if i run out of new ammo.
    What does causes that?

    Make sure when you use the rocketlauncher (probably in GunAttack), you're not allowing  gamestate.ammo-- to happen.

    Here's a code snippet that illustrates this.

    In the case of the missile launcher the return after the MissileAttack(ob) statement means we leave the GunAttack routine completely so we never process gamestate.ammo--, which is C++ equivalent to gamestate.ammo = gamestate.ammo - 1.


    Code:
    void    GunAttack (objtype *ob)
    {
        objtype *check,*closest,*oldclosest;
        int      damage;
        int      dx,dy,dist;
        int32_t  viewdist;

        if (gamestate.weapon == wp_mlauncher)  
            {
               MissileAttack (ob);
               return;                    // return to calling routine, stop processing GunAttack
            }

        switch (gamestate.weapon)
        {
            case wp_pistol:
                SD_PlaySound (ATKPISTOLSND);
                break;
            case wp_machinegun:
                SD_PlaySound (ATKMACHINEGUNSND);
                break;
            case wp_chaingun:
                SD_PlaySound (ATKGATLINGSND);
                break;
        }

        gamestate.ammo--;            // decrease regular ammo by 1
        madenoise = true;

        //
        // find potential targets
        //
        viewdist = 0x7fffffffl;
        closest = NULL;

    I've recently found an old new ammo type tutorial, done by Luke Strauman (hope i writed his name down correctly). Tried it out and these errors came in:
    [Help] Adding a new ammotype Ammotype_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_
    Been trying to apply new ammotype for a week now with no luck.....didn't thought that it's that complicated.
    (just wondering why no one has been written a single tutorial about adding new ammotypes in SDL.)

    Edit: Here is the link for the tutorial: http://boytoy31.tripod.com/addanewammotype/

    The problem is that i barely understand how that thing works at all. (wich doesn't happen often though)
    And that's why i've started this topic in the first place.

    Anyway i nearly succeeded with Poet's tutorial, as i wrote some posts ago, but still have the same problems with it.

    KKK911XD So try it:

    Just tried it out and it worked!!!!
    Finally!

    The only problem left is that there is a minor GFX glitch. When i ran out of missiles and the i use the chaingun, when the chaingun animation reaches it's last "frame" (sprite actually), it turns to the first "frame" of the missile launcher for a split second.

    Edit: Oh noes, there is another one....
    When i shoot with the missile launcher directly to an enemy, the rocket instantly disappear and hits it, just like the normal bullet weapons. But when i shoot elsewhere, the missile flies like supposed. Wierd.
