Hi,

i just wanted to know how to adjust the TDM limit. At the moment it's somthing about 180. I want it to be something about 50.
It wouldn't be a problem for me to hardcode it. But i want to be still able to adjust the limit with the games settings. Can someone tell me how to do it??
I changed the victory condition to this:

Code: Select all

local scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetHuntScoreLimit()
if ( self.isCelebrityDeathmatch ) then
	scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetAssaultScoreLimit() - 130
elseif ( self.isUberMode ) then
	scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetUberScoreLimit()
end

It works, but it shows the wrong limit. So i wanted to do something like that too, but it won't work, because the function does not get the limit, but an 2.

As you can see in the ObjectiveTDM, Ubermode is much easier to set. So make your ObjectiveTDM variable isUberMode = true, and set uberScoreLimit = [whatever you want]

Posted: **Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:05 pm**

actually i don't wanted to change all scripts again. And if i make an ubermode you can not adjust the limit with the assault limit in the settings. So i'd prefere an offset solution.

Posted: **Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:15 pm**

You can have the ubermode score limit depend on the assault limit in the settings. Let me just understand what it is that you want. You have many different map/game mode scripts that you don't want to modify? And so you just want to modify the ObjectiveTDM file directly? And what score limit do you want to display? (GetAssaultScoreLimit - 130)? --> This would range from 20 to 170 (a BIG range), with a default of 50. How about (GetAssaultScoreLimit)/3 instead? That would range from 50 to 100, with a default of 60?

Posted: **Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:22 pm**

/3 would be fine, too. Not sure if 60 for default is maybe a bit too much. But you understood everything right.

Posted: **Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:33 pm**

Okay, cool. Based on your first coding attempt, I'm assuming that in all of your scripts, your objective has isCelebrityDeathmatch = true.

In this case, just start with the default ObjectiveTDM and change

Code: Select all

      if ( self.isCelebrityDeathmatch ) then
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(2)
      elseif ( self.isUberMode ) then
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(3)
         ScriptCB_SetUberScoreLimit(self.uberScoreLimit)
      else
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(1)
      end
   end

to

Code: Select all

      if ( self.isCelebrityDeathmatch ) then
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(3)
         ScriptCB_SetUberScoreLimit([your formula here, e.g. ScriptCB_GetAssaultScoreLimit()/3])
      elseif ( self.isUberMode ) then
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(3)
         ScriptCB_SetUberScoreLimit(self.uberScoreLimit)
      else
         ScriptCB_ShowHuntScoreLimit(1)
      end
   end

and

Code: Select all

            local scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetHuntScoreLimit()
            if ( self.isCelebrityDeathmatch ) then
               scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetAssaultScoreLimit()
            elseif ( self.isUberMode ) then
               scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetUberScoreLimit()
            end

to

Code: Select all

            local scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetHuntScoreLimit()
            if ( self.isCelebrityDeathmatch ) then
               scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetUberScoreLimit()
            elseif ( self.isUberMode ) then
               scorelimit = ScriptCB_GetUberScoreLimit()
            end

I was messing around with a custom shell.lvl recently and found the part of code where you can make the game options higher or lower, hero timer, conquest reinforcements, etc.

Sadly, it involves making a new shell, which will replace the shell.lvl (if you have 1.3 patch, probably not smart to replace it.

)

How ever making it is simple.
Copy Shell folder from assets and past it in data_abc
Then in data_abc\shell\scripts edit ifs_instant_options.lua

Scroll down shortly to this

Hidden/Spoiler:

local HEROPoints = {low = 1, high = 50, increment = 1, default = 10}

local HEROTimer = {low = 0, high = 120, increment = 5, default = 60}

-- mult = reinforcements

local CONMult = {low = 10, high = 500, increment = 10} -- inc 10

local CONTimer = {low = 0, high = 60, increment = 5} -- off, then 5 to 60

local CTFScore = {low = 1, high = 15, increment = 1}

local CTFTimer = {low = 0, high = 60, increment = 5} -- off, then 5 to 60

--local ELIMult = {low = 50, high = 300}

--local ELITimer = {low = 0, high = 300}

local HUNScore = {low = 50, high = 150, increment = 5} -- inc 5

local HUNTimer = {low = 0, high = 60, increment = 5} -- off, then 5 to 60

local ASSScore = {low = 150, high = 300, increment = 5}  -- inc 5

As long as you can understand English, you should be able to understand what does what.
Increment determines how many times the score will multiply when you adjust the ingame slider.
If increment is 1, you will change the score 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
If increment is 10 you will adjust score 10,20,30,40,50 etc.

When you munge, select Shell. Replace shell.lvl in your main game's _lvl_pc with your new one.

I tried very hard to hex edit different things to the existing shell.lvl but every time I changed something, it broke the game options (could not click those buttons)
For now, we're stuck with replacing the file.

No you could make a wrapper

Maybe with an custom script, or you do it the way i did with the background images. Only overwrite the custom parts. It should also work to just add the option you like. But for more infos about it you should contact Zerted. He is an expert in these things

But i'm sure razac920's idea will do.

==EDIT==

@razac920: worked.
