Title: [TUTORIAL] How to add a Colored Zombie Counter
Post by: WhiteDevil on November 12, 2015, 11:18:26 am
I have done some modifications on the original zombie counter made by Tom_Bmx.
This is how it looks: (https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FV1joLoz.png%3F1&hash=8a7493848d64535d09058c4d594df72fa53100b2)

This is literally my first post on these forums >.> But I'm trying to make my first ever map/mod thing for Waw, and I can't really get this to work. But I did follow everything you said, I only don't get what you meant by including it all in the launcher... But to sum it up, in game, it doesn't show up. Any help is aprieciated ^^;

By include i mean you add the scripts to your mod, so they get loaded in game. Make sure your laucher looks like this: (https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fa8DapDf.png&hash=2e7bedd547e530d042460cedf0afaa7de8c83e5c)

This will glitch out when you have mixed rounds btw.

You mean de dogg rounds?
Title: Re: [TUTORIAL] How to add a Colored Zombie Counter

He means rounds, where there is both zombies and dogs, which use spawn_zombie thing, same thing as here:
That ^
I dont know if you could update it where if the value is -1 or less the percentage is automatically sent to 0, it wont fix the counter but it will fix the progress bar so it is less noticeable

Uploaded a fix for the dogs, and the progress bar can't exceed it's maximum limit of 100%.

Code Snippet
Plaintext
level.zombie_total = max;
your defining this twice in two different places
_zombiemode.gsc
&
_zombiemode_dogs.gsc

Yes. This is because when it's a zombie round this will get the maximum amount of zombies that spawn in that round and when it's a dog round it will get the maximum amount of dogs that spawn in that round. Because call of duty uses 2 different spawning function for dog rounds / zombie round i have added it twice. These two functions will never be called together in 1 round. So therefore there shouldn't be a problem.

ok fair enough, but what about mixed rounds? Will it actually count the dogs? They are spawned "alongside" a zombie if i recall the code correctly like :
Spawning logic() { can i spawn a zombie? yes - can i spawn a dog, if so spawn dog + zombie if no - just spawn zombie }
Title: Re: [TUTORIAL] How to add a Colored Zombie Counter
Post by: WhiteDevil on November 24, 2015, 02:09:12 am
Yes because before a dog or zombie is spawned in a mixed round there is already a maximum enemies(Zombies/Dogs) defined. So for example the maximum enemies is 72. When a zombie spawns, 71 enemies still have to spawn(These enemies can be dogs or zombies). When a dog spawns, 70 enemies still have to spawn(These enemies can also be dogs or zombies). This will go on and on. Until it reaches 0 and no enemies will be spawned, then it will wait until all the enemies are dead and the next round will start.
My counter only grabs the maximum enemies that can spawn in that round.

hmm... well if you say so but the way i read it was
can i spawn 1 zombie? If yes, then also try to spawn a dog, regardless of the remaining count. which would leave you on -1
But i dont remember and cant check atm. If your sure its ok, it prob is

i'm sure because when a zombie is spawned the maxium is lowerd with -1, and when a mixed dog is spawned it's again lowered with -1. Before either one of those spawns it first check if it can spawn(It check if the maxium is higher than 0). Doesn't matter if it spawn first the zombie and then checks if it can spawn a dog and then spawns a dog.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've followed this tutorial about 10 times, but every time I go in game, the counter stays at 0, doesn't matter how many zombies spawn... Anyone know what I did wrong?

Im a noob in scripting and i managed to do it easily. Make sure you edit the script correctly. Also try to rebuild the mod
Title: Re: [TUTORIAL] How to add a Colored Zombie Counter
Post by: TheLapper96 on November 27, 2015, 07:40:35 pm
I have rebuilt the mod, several times even. But it didn't make a difference, sadly.
It's very important you copy your _zombiemode.gsc / _zombiemode_dogs.gsc to your wawroot/mods/MODNAME/maps and include them in your launcher! This means checking them in the iwd file list

I have done this I mean, let me show you in a screenshot: (https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FXQuFwfF.png&hash=cb1902be6eebc7dcc5841ca8fa36476446f0ba30)
I think I did this part correct, I mean, the counter does show up in game, it just doesn't count zombies, it just says 0 all the time.

If the counter shows up in the game then you have successfully included the _zombieCounter.gsc and started the main function of the script(Step 1 to 3). You probably have edited the _zombiemode.gsc and _zombiemode_dogs.gsc in your raw/maps instead of your mods/MODNAME/maps. So make sure you do step 4 to 7 correctly.

Off topic but why do you appear to have your map source folder in your mod? ???
I followed a youtube video and it literally said I had to do that >.> But I guess that youtube video was wrong, I'm pretty sure there's much more in the wrong places...

Yeah map source does not need to be in mod folder. Just in the root of the folder.

stevie people teaching other people to have map source folder in their mods coz they want to steal it , i would have do that if i'm a youtuber :troll:
odds are there would be nothing to steal, would just be extracting prefabs which they dont have the resources from,so will just be a assortment of red cubes and patches/brushs with the default texture on them
his point was, its completely unnecesary and bloats your mods size
* edit, unless youve been really silly and put your map file in there lol
