[TUTORIAL] Creating a Gametype

Postby Vekiorus » Fri Oct 22, 2010 2:51 am

Hey
WHATS UP
//fluffee off
As i did some research into making a mod-gametype, i found a quite interesting way to make your own.
This is addressed to server admins, whole for example wants to rotate one in the chamber, gungame from zxz and, lets say, my mod.
Using the maprotation command of course.
As you know, we can change gametypes AND maps witht the map rotation command.
So here is how to make your own gametype.
Note: This tutorial will show how to create gametypes with 1 file mods (exemple: _rank.gsc). It is perfectly possible to make multifile mods gametypes, but would be to long to explain, but I guess people with IQ over 70 can find the way ;)

Creating the base
First step, navigate to your mw2 "main" directory.
Backup the file "iw_25.iwd"
Now open the original copy. If you have the alterIwnet one, your iwd should look like this:
maps/mp/gametypes. In the gametype folder:
Spoiler: Toggle

Now, open the _gametypes.txt file. It should look like:
Spoiler: Toggle
Code: Select all
dm
dom
sd
sab
war
koth
oneflag
arena
dd
vip
ctf
gtnw
oitc

For the purpose of this tutorial, my gametype is going to be called "vek1"
So add "vek1" under "oitc":
Spoiler: Toggle
Code: Select all
dm
dom
sd
sab
war
koth
oneflag
arena
dd
vip
ctf
gtnw
oitc
vek1

My gametype is going to be based on Free For All.
So, i am going to find the "dm.gsc" file. You can get it from a gsc rip, google it.
Im going to rename it to "vek1.gsc" and put it into my IWD (in the gametypes folder obviously). Dont touch it anymore for now.
Last step of this part :
You need to create a "vek1.txt" file. In it, i'm going to put this content:
Code: Select all
"Veki's Arena"

YES, with the quotes. It's important.
Your IWD now looks like:
Spoiler: Toggle
Image

Dont mind the whited out part.

Converting the mod
Okay.
This might be the easiest part.
Find your "rank.gsc" mod file, or whichever one you choosen, and copy it. Now, name it "_vek1.gsc". NOT "vek1.gsc". You need to rename it with an underscore or you will overwrite your gametype.
Put it into your "gametypes" folder in your iwd25.
Thats all for this part!

Calling the mod into the gametype
Okay, last part.
You are now going to open your "vek1.gsc" file. (the GAMETYPE one, without the underscore.)
Find this:
Spoiler: Toggle
Code: Select all
main()
{

maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::init();
maps\mp\gametypes\_callbacksetup::SetupCallbacks();
maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::SetupCallbacks();

registerTimeLimitDvar( level.gameType, 10, 0, 1440 );
registerScoreLimitDvar( level.gameType, 1000, 0, 5000 );
registerWinLimitDvar( level.gameType, 1, 0, 5000 );
registerRoundLimitDvar( level.gameType, 1, 0, 10 );
registerNumLivesDvar( level.gameType, 0, 0, 10 );
registerHalfTimeDvar( level.gameType, 0, 0, 1 );

level.onStartGameType = ::onStartGameType;
level.getSpawnPoint = ::getSpawnPoint;

game["dialog"]["gametype"] = "freeforall";

if ( getDvarInt( "g_hardcore" ) )
game["dialog"]["gametype"] = "hc_" + game["dialog"]["gametype"];
else if ( getDvarInt( "camera_thirdPerson" ) )
game["dialog"]["gametype"] = "thirdp_" + game["dialog"]["gametype"];
else if ( getDvarInt( "scr_diehard" ) )
game["dialog"]["gametype"] = "dh_" + game["dialog"]["gametype"];
else if (getDvarInt( "scr_" + level.gameType + "_promode" ) )
game["dialog"]["gametype"] = game["dialog"]["gametype"] + "_pro";
}

Under the maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::init();, you want to add:
Code: Select all
maps\mp\gametypes\_vek1::init();

This calls the INIT function of your mod. If your mod doesent have one, then i wonder what the fuck game are you modding.
Now save the file.
You are done.
Good job Delta Squad.

By the way, your rar should look like :
Spoiler: Toggle
Image

Ah, and to call your gametype, type in console
Code: Select all
g_gametype vek1

It will then say:
Code: Select all
g_gametype will be changed upon restarting.

Just start the map or do map_restart if you are in game.


Proof the method works

Good luck, and have fun!

Note: However, because changing to dm gametype is bugged, you will need a couple extra commands to make it look like a real ffa.
I let you find out,

And please dont steal this tutorial/claim it as yours.
Thanks

Edit: If anyone wants my iw_25 PM me.

Making an Intermediate Mod.

3. Creating / Loading a custom gsc
4. Coding
5. Conclusion

Hey guys, in this tutorial I'll be showing you how to create a simple mod, which should help you in future modding. Also at the end, be sure to archive it as a zip iwd file. If it is archived as a rar iwd file then it won't load properly. If you're new to modding, I suggest you look at this thread: Basic GSC Coding


Image
Firstly, lets create a new folder on the desktop, and call it anything, for now just use "Your iMod" (i meaning intermediate). Ok, open up notepad. Now we're going to put in a clean _rank.gsc. Copy the code below and copy it into your notepad.
Code: Select all
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\mp\_utility;
#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;


doDvars()
{

}

init()
{
level.scoreInfo = [];

precacheString( &"RANK_ROMANII" );
precacheString( &"RANK_ROMANIII" );

Ok, now save it as a .gsc into this directory: \\Your iMod\maps\mp\gametypes\_rank.gsc.


Image
Ok, now we want to make it easier for us to code. Open up a new notepad. Now type something like this in:
Code: Select all
initMod()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
}

Ok, we're getting somewhere.... Now we're going to add some threads:
Code: Select all
initMod()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );

self thread myPerk();
}

Save this into directory: \\maps\mp\gametypes\_iMod.gsc.
Ok, now we want to make it that it will load when loading the mod. In your _rank.gsc, add to init(): "level thread maps\mp\gametypes\_iMod::initMod();". Now that we have added that in, let's try creating a custom perk, shall we.


Image
Alright, take a look at the code below, this is what your mod should look like. I'll explain the code below it:
Code: Select all
initMod()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );

self myPerk( "juggernaut" );
}

myPerk( perk )
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
perk.name = "juggernaut";
for(;;)
{
perk = perk.name;
if(perk == "juggernaut")
{
self thread juggernaut();
}
}
}

juggernaut()
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
for(;;)
{
self.maxhealth = 200;
self.health = self.maxhealth;
}
}

Ok, so basically what we have done is made a custom function with myPerk( perk ). The variable "perk" is set as "perk.name" and "perk.name" is set to "juggernaut". So within the myPerk code, we created an "if" function to show if you put it into this: self myPerk( "juggernaut" ); then it would use another thread we created, called "juggernaut" and implement that on "self". Basically we created a perk that increases health by 2x. So if we want to create another perk, do something like this:
Code: Select all
myPerk( perk, perk2 )
{
self endon( "disconnect" );
perk.name = "juggernaut";
perk.name2 = "ownage";
for(;;)
{
perk = perk.name;
perk2 = perk.name2;
if(perk == "juggernaut")
{
self thread juggernaut();
}
else if(perk2 == "ownage")
{
self thread ownage();
}

Then you would create a thread called "ownage" and continue from there. Of course there is a more advanced way of doing this, yet it's more simple once you know how to do it.

So, that's it for now, I'm not particularly sure if there is any syntax errors in there, someone would let me know that would be cinch :D. Anyway I hope this tutorial has taught you something, and you have a better understanding of gsc coding. I might post another tutorial later.



Always here to help :mrgreen:

[TUT]Native Mod Support

Well, since ModLoader is unusable since 37a, we have gotten native mod support working again.

Note: You need atleast Build 10723-2 for this to work, older builds will bug out.

Lets go step by step.

How to convert existing ModLoader mods into native mods
First of all, you need your mod. Mods are like structured something like this, depending on which file they load :
Code: Select all
\---Mod
\---maps
\---mp
\---gametypes

1) Just take everything from mod onwards, so you should be left with
Code: Select all
\---maps
\---mp
\---gametypes


2) Now use a compression tool and zip the folder up, maintaining the original folder structure.

3) Rename the extension to .iwd.

Congratulations, you have made the file that is going to be loaded into the game.

How to load the mod
Now to actually loading the mods.

1) Make a new folder in the root of your MW2 folder called "mods"

2) In the "mods" folder, make a new folder with the name of your mod, for example "MyMod"

3) In your mod folder, place the .iwd file you made earlier into the folder. The .iwd can be named anything.

At this point you should have a folder structure like this :
Code: Select all
\---Modern Warfare 2
\---mods
\---modname


4) Run the game

5) Type in fs_game mods/MODNAMEHERE . Note that MODNAMEHERE is the name of the folder you created in "mods".

6) Type in vid_restart and start a game, the mod should have loaded if everything was done correctly.

A few extra things

a) fs_game can be done anywhere, however in-game it should be preceded by map_restart instead of vid_restart, and its not advisable to change it while in a party.

b) No longer applicable for Build 10728-2 onwards.

Your stats will reset since the game generates new stats for every different mod that is loaded. Don't worry, your normal stats have not been reset.


c) Encrypted mods will not work as this isn't ModLoader.

d) Here is an example of how a correct mod looks like and its folder structure, the mod I'm using here is scoutknivez : Download link. In this example, you'd use fs_game mods/scoutzknivez to load the mod.

e) fs_game "" will cause the game to load back to normal.

f) Unlike ModLoader, this is OS-independent.

Using something to compile mods
Batch file
Spoiler: Toggle
First you need 7za from here : Download
You also need the batch file here : Download

1) Place both 7za.exe and compile_mods.bat into the same folder.

2) Place your mod starting with the maps folder into the same folder as above.

3) Run compile_mod.bat and type in the .iwd name(z_* will always be loaded first in the game).

4) You should end up with a .iwd which can be used following "How to load the mod" above.

GUI app
Spoiler: Toggle
Get the app from here : Download

1) Run the app

2) In the first textbox select the maps\ folder.

3) In the second textbox select where you want the .iwd file to go (It can be anywhere, but if you want to save the trouble of moving it, just select your mods\modname folder.

4) Press compile
