CTF Different Berserker Effect

[Patrick2607]

Ok, so I have the default berserker (ef_berserker) and a custom berserker (ef_berserk02).
I fixed the elu's and added it to .xml. That's not a problem but just information.

It's in the source. I thought it was something I (a C++ newb) could fix, but it was more complicated than I thought.

I want the CTF berserker effect to be ef_berserk02 but I can't seem to fix this. Any help where to look? (ZEffectManager / ZEffectAniMesh)

This is the original code for CTF.

        if(nTeam == MMT_BLUE)
        {
            ZGetEffectManager()->AddBerserkerIcon(pFlagChar);
            ZGetEffectManager()->AddRedFlagIcon(pFlagChar);
            pFlagChar->SetTagger(true);
        }        
        else if(nTeam == MMT_RED)
        {
            ZGetEffectManager()->AddBerserkerIcon(pFlagChar);
            ZGetEffectManager()->AddBlueFlagIcon(pFlagChar);
            pFlagChar->SetTagger(true);
        }

Follow the AddBerserkerIcon until you find ef_berserker and then add a new definition or replace it.

EDIT: ef_berserker is in ZEffectManager.cpp

m_pBerserkerEffect = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserker");

[own_prox]

RMesh* m_pBerserkerEffect[1];

m_pBerserkerEffect[0] = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserker");
m_pBerserkerEffect[1] = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserker02");



void ZEffectManager::AddBerserkerIcon(ZObject* pObj, int nType)

pNew = new ZEffectBerserkerIconLoop(m_pBerserkerEffect[nType],pObj);

Ok fixed it, it was easy yeah I forgot to look at ZRuleDeathMatch.cpp... -__- stupid me.
Anyways, for people who'd like this too:

ZRuleDeathMatch.cpp:
Search for:

ZGetEffectManager()->AddBerserkerIcon(pFlagChar);

Replace with:

ZGetEffectManager()->AddBerserkerCTFIcon(pFlagChar);

^ Do this step 3 times.

ZEffectManager.h:
Search for:

void AddBerserkerIcon(ZObject* pObj);

Add under:

void AddBerserkerCTFIcon(ZObject* pObj);

ZEffectManager.cpp:
Search for:

m_pBerserkerEffect    = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserker");

Add under:

m_pBerserkerCTFEffect    = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserk02");

--------------------------------------------------

Search for:

void ZEffectManager::AddBerserkerIcon(ZObject* pObj){
    ZEffect* pNew;


    for (int i = 0; i < eq_parts_pos_info_end; i++)
    {
        if (

        Add(pNew);
    }
}

I'll put it in the tutorial section too. Thanks.

[own_prox]

if you do mate shorten it down using my ways :) thanks for the like.

sec ill shortern it even more

[Chrisss]

Yeah i agree ^^ It should be shortened but anyhow it works. Good job.

I'll add this to the tut but where do I need to put this:

char name[40];
for(int i = 0; i < BEffectSize; i++)
{
sprintf(name, "ef_berserker%d", i);
m_pBerserkerEffect[i] = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get(name); 
}

[own_prox]

delete m_pBerserkerEffect = m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_berserker"); and place it there

also give me some credits in the tut :) <3

[Patrick2607]

Yeah for sure. I added the lines from your comment, but how does the CTF mode know which one to pick?

[own_prox]

AddBerserkerIcon(pObj, 0) for berserker
AddBerserkerIcon(pObj, 1) for ctf
