[User Tutorial] BO Perks w/ UGX-Mod v1.0.3 (fix for BamSkater33's perks) in Scripting

For those looking for a completely fixed Mule Kick and perk loss on death: CLICK

First of all I'd like to thank BamSkater33 for his time and effort he put into making the perks work with stock maps, he helped the community a lot. Also, please note that this is only a temporary solution untill the UGX team releases UGX-Mod v1.1.

I'd also like to mention that I'm still not able to make the perks go away after you die. ALL other things have been fixed that were needed to be fixed for UGX compatibility. If anyone has a solution for this, please feel free to share this with us.

First of all, I'm asuming that you already have done all modifications to the code needed to continue with this tutorial. If not: http://www.zombiemodding.com/index.php?topic=10345.0 DO NOT add in the codes for Quick Revive sine UGX already has a fixed Quick Revive.

Now onto the fixes:

1. Fixing Mule Kick

Go to mods/mapname/mapname.gsc and look for this line from Bam's tut:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

mule_kick()
{

self.given_kick = false;

while(1)
{

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();

if((self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 1)&&(self.given_kick == false))
{
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_colt")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_colt");
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_kar98k")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_kar98k");

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if( player_load.size == 2)
{
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_m1carbine")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_m1carbine");
}
self.given_kick = true;
}

if((self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 2)&&(self.given_kick == false))
{
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_colt")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_colt");
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_kar98k")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_kar98k");

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if( player_load.size == 2)
{
if(!(self hasweapon("zombie_m1carbine")))
self giveWeapon("zombie_m1carbine");
}
self.given_kick = true;
}

if(!(self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 3))
{
player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if(player_load.size == 3 && self.being_revived == false)
{
self.muleweapon = player_load[2];
self takeweapon(self.muleweapon);
}
self.given_kick = false;
}


wait .1;
}
}

Replace this WHOLE chunck of code with:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

mule_kick()
{

self.given_kick = false;

while(1)
{

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();

if((self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 1)&&(self.given_kick == false))
{
if(!(self hasweapon("silver_deagle")))
self giveWeapon("silver_deagle");
if(!(self hasweapon("m9")))
self giveWeapon("m9");

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if( player_load.size == 2)
{
if(!(self hasweapon("m14")))
self giveWeapon("m14");
}
self.given_kick = true;
}

if((self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 2)&&(self.given_kick == false))
{
if(!(self hasweapon("m9")))
self giveWeapon("m9");

player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if( player_load.size == 2)
{
if(!(self hasweapon("m14")))
self giveWeapon("m14");
}
self.given_kick = true;
}

if(!(self hasperk("specialty_extraammo"))&&( player_load.size == 3))
{
player_load = self GetWeaponsListPrimaries();
if(player_load.size == 3 && self.being_revived == false)
{
self.muleweapon = player_load[2];
self takeweapon(self.muleweapon);
}
self.given_kick = false;
}
wait .1;
}
}

What this does is it basicly tells the game to add the weapons from UGX specified in the script to be added to the players weapon slots. Feel free to change the weapons to your likings.

2. Fixing Jugg (Yes, it's bugged after using the BO perks...)

Go to mods/mapname/ugx_mod.iwd/maps/_zombiemode_perks_black_ops.gsc. On line 43 change this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	set_zombie_var( "zombie_perk_juggernaut_health",	160 );

Into:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	set_zombie_var( "zombie_perk_juggernaut_health",	280 );

Change the health value from 280 to anything else. (250 is the default in Der Riese, but I just like 280 more.

)

3. Fixing perk shaders (icons)

There is a simple fix for this. Due to custom perk shaders having to be included in a .ff file we will have to tick the "Build mod.ff fastfile" option:

After compiling your map the Project Mover application will rename the mod.ff file you created to "localized_mapname.ff". (if set up correctly)

EXTRA'S

4. Lighting issues on perk machines
Go into Radiant and select one of the BO perk machines. (Mule Kick in this example) Then press the "Stamp" button.

Normally your perk machine should be lighted ingame now. (IDK why they aren't when still in Radiant as a prefab) If not, select the model entity for your perk machine and turn it into a misc->model by right clicking and selecting misc>model.

5. Changing prices
Open mods/mapname/ugx_mod.iwd/maps/_zombiemdoe_perks_black_ops.gsc and look for: (line 166)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		cost = level.zombie_vars["zombie_perk_cost"];
		switch( perk )
		{
		case "specialty_detectexplosive": //phd flopper
			cost = 2000;
			break;
 
		case "specialty_longersprint": //staminup
			cost = 2000;
			break;	
 
		case "specialty_extraammo": //mule kick
			cost = 4000;
			break;	
 
		case "specialty_bulletaccuracy": //deadshot
			cost = 1500;
			break;		
		}

This contains the prices for all BO perks.

For an example I will be editing the price for Mule Kick. Find:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		case "specialty_extraammo": //mule kick
			cost = 3000;
			break;

And replace "3000" with the price you want Mule Kick to be, for example:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		case "specialty_extraammo": //mule kick
			cost = 4000;
			break;

6. Changing "Second Chance" string for Quick Revive to "Quick Revive" & changing the price (this is NOT a string for Bam's perks but for the UGX Revive)

String:
Open mods/mapname/ugx_mod.iwd/maps/_zombiemode_perks.gsc and find:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// UGX_SCRIPT - self-revive quickrevive hintstring change
ugxm_sp_quickrevive_hint_update()
{
	self SetHintString("Press & hold &&1 to buy Second Chance [Cost: " + 500 + ", Uses Left: " + level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses + "]");
	while(1)
	{
		level waittill("ugxm_selfrevive_used_quickrevive");
		usesleft = level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses - level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses;
		if(level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses >= level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses)
		{
			self SetHintString("Second Chance disabled!");
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			self SetHintString("Press & hold &&1 to buy Second Chance [Cost: " + level.ugxm_chance_cost[level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses] + ", Uses Left: " + usesleft + "]");
		}
	}
}
// UGX_SCRIPT END

Change this to:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// UGX_SCRIPT - self-revive quickrevive hintstring change
ugxm_sp_quickrevive_hint_update()
{
	self SetHintString("Press & hold &&1 to buy Quick Revive [Cost: " + 500 + ", Uses Left: " + level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses + "]");
	while(1)
	{
		level waittill("ugxm_selfrevive_used_quickrevive");
		usesleft = level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses - level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses;
		if(level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses >= level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_maxuses)
		{
			self SetHintString("Quick Revive disabled!");
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			self SetHintString("Press & hold &&1 to buy Quick Revive [Cost: " + level.ugxm_chance_cost[level.ugxm_sp_quickrevive_uses] + ", Uses Left: " + usesleft + "]");
		}
	}
}
// UGX_SCRIPT END

Price:
Open mods/mapname/ugx_mod.iwd/maps/_zombiemode_perks.gsc and find:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	// UGX_SCRIPT - ability to disable vendings
	level waittill("ugxm_voting_complete");
 
	if(!level.ugxm_settings["allow_perks"])
	{
		self SetHintString( level.ugxm_strings["hint_disabled"] );
		self SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
		return;
	}
	level.ugxm_chance_cost = [];
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[0] = 500;
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[1] = 1500;
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[2] = 3000;
	// UGX_SCRIPT END

Change to this for the BO prices: (constant 500, please note that this might not be the most efficient method but it is however the easiest)

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	// UGX_SCRIPT - ability to disable vendings
	level waittill("ugxm_voting_complete");
 
	if(!level.ugxm_settings["allow_perks"])
	{
		self SetHintString( level.ugxm_strings["hint_disabled"] );
		self SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
		return;
	}
	level.ugxm_chance_cost = [];
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[0] = 500;
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[1] = 500;
	level.ugxm_chance_cost[2] = 500;
	// UGX_SCRIPT END

As I already said, I stil haven't fixed the issue where perks won't go away when you go down. If anyone knows how to fix this, please post a reply and I'll add it to the tutorial and give you credit. Also, if you encounter any other problems, please tell me and I'll try to fix them. I don't remember there being any other problems I fixed but it is possible I forgot some.

I hope this helped you guys out a bit.
