Damageless Lightsabers

Koolaid7g · Post by **Koolaid7g** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:07 am

The lightsabers in my map don't do any damage. They can still block, but the regualr attack and saber throw is faulty. I checked a previous post, but that didn't help me. Any ideas?

My memorypool stats:

SetMemoryPoolSize ("ClothData",20)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo",50)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::State",650)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Transition",650)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Condition",650)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Attack",550)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::DamageSample",6000)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Deflect",100)

Quote the odf for your sabre that is not doing any dmg.

But before you do that, if your not using a custom sabre, copy the assets over the sabre odfs and try that.

Make sure your all your .combo files that your sabre odfs call for are in your sides folder.

Also try going to your build folder, then under sides. Now goto your sides that is having the issue and delete all the munged files so it will have to remunge fresh ones.

Your working on a space map? If it is you must place this in the ModIDg_Diet Dr. Pepper lua =P

It's not just one saber, but ALL of my sabers, on both sides, customa nd shipped. I copied over the shipped odf for the common_lightsaber.odf, and it did nothing. All the combo files should be there, as all the combos are performable. I did the munge thing too-no soap. Shoot. Now what?

It's for my Naboo map, btw.

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel = "melee"
ClassParent = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName = "all_weap_inf_lightsabre"
ComboAnimationBank = "human_sabre melee rep_hero_ep3obiwan"

FirePointName = "hp_fire"
LightSaberLength = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture = "bluelightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor = "7 85 255 128"

This is the typical sabre odf. If you don't have any values for LightSaberLength or LightSaberWidth, then the sabres will do no dmg.

The only other thing I can think of how this is happening, is in the .combo files themselves. Search a .combo file real quick for "damage(", include the open parenthesis, there should be a value between 200 and 600 for each swing.

No, that isn't it either. The problem affects ALL lightsabers, regardless of whether they shipped or were custom. The problem might lie with the munged or something, as I had to mess with that in order to get the particle editor up n running. But we'll see.

t551 · Post by **t551** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:20 am

Wait, in your other topic, you said that sabres stopped doing damage after you added the core generator effects. Take them out, and see if the sabers do damage again.

It is possible that those use up a great deal of the game's set memory pools, and so it just gives up on other calculations to render them.

Koolaid7g · Post by **Koolaid7g** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 2:08 am

Wow. The utmost simplistic answer is the one that works. Thanks t551t551!

Is it possible to up those memory pools, or do I just need to come up with something new?

t551 · Post by **t551** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 2:46 am

I don't think you can mess with the effect memory pools, and even if you could, the game itself has a total memory cap.

You probably need to concentrate your work on making the generator effects take as little memory and processing power as possible.

You could remove some of the overhead by making the generators rely less on particle efx and instead use a scrolling texture on some tubes and planes in XSI, with a less intense efx to back it up.

Also, use agressive lowrezing, by creating a much less complicated efx to use at lowrez distances.

Not sure if these will work, but they're worth a shot.
