Adding Melee Weapons to Sides

Ant · Post by **Ant** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 4:27 pm

I have a question, and I'm positive you guys have a answer....since I seen it done before.

How would I make, for example, the Imperial Officer, be armed with a custom weapon.
I put the weapon's .msh and .tga's in the Msh folder.
I made a new .odf with the following info:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code][WeaponClass]

ClassLabel          	= "melee"

ClassParent         	= "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName        	= "gam_weap_vibrolance"

ComboAnimationBank  	= "human_sabre melee imp_hero_darthvader"

FirePointName    	= "hp_fire"

LightSaberLength        = "0.4"

LightSaberWidth         = "0.75"

MinRange            	= "0"

OptimalRange        	= "1.5"

MaxRange        	= "3"

HitSound            	= "com_weap_inf_grenade_bounce"

OnSound			= "overrideparentsound"

TurnOnSound		= "overrideparentsound"

TurnOffSound		= "overrideparentsound"[/code]

I updated the units .odf so it has the weapon:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code][GameObjectClass]

ClassParent         = "imp_inf_default"

[Properties]

PointsToUnlock      = 8

[/code]

But then when I munge, no weapon shows up at all. It's as if he is swinging in the air with nothing but his fist. Any help?

Ugh I must be doing something wrong.
I added your odf and changed the
GeometryName = "knife"
HighResGeometry = "knife"
with the name of the model. Then when I go into it, it shows up but then crashes a second later

JimmyAngler · Post by **JimmyAngler** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 8:16 pm

The geometry name knife is just the name of the model of a knife. you could use anything in its place. If you have a mesh named knife then it will work. If not then it will crash.

and you need a hidden object such as a triangle named hp_fire in the mesh.

Why are the _ord and _ord_high identical?

JimmyAngler · Post by **JimmyAngler** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 10:30 pm

idk but you need them both.

They aren't, look at the damage they deal, ord_high does more damage. This line in the odf of the weapon tells BF2 to use a different ordnance at a certain charge (in this case .8 )

:

The Weapon ODF wrote:OrdnanceName = "com_weap_melee_ord"

OrdnanceName = "com_weap_melee_ord_high"

I have a challenge for someone. Been playing around with the .odfs and got majoirty of the swords I need working. This one however:
http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 64&t=20909
seems to be impossible. Anyone who can get a working .odf for one (or both) of those two weapons wins a free cookie.

NOTE: Cookie will be charged with $100 Shipping with a $500 with not giving money after 5 seconds from receiving gift.
Any member who lacks particular in this challenge will be given cookies made by my mom...you don't want cookies made by my mom. *shivers.

I assure you the problem is not with the model, as I used that same model in my (long gone and defunct) Mega Man map.
