New Weapon type.

[CookiePG]

Well i'm trying to make a new weapon type, Which is a grenade launcher. (Combining the rocket weapon + grenade animation.)

But the issue is, i can't seem to find where the animations are linked to the specific weapon type. I know that the animation is given a name in effect_list.xml but I need to know where they get linked to the rocket type itself.

Any ideas?

wrong section

wrong section

Wrong section? I'm developing something and going to release if it works. Only need some help with 1 thing lmao.

My only guess it in the client itself (the_duel.exe or duel.exe w/e).
So I think you need to work with ASCII, but that's my guess .

its definitely coding work.

1st adding a new weapon type
2nd finding the section of code dealing with rocket launcher
3rd replace the firing animation with the thrown animation of
a grenade.

Almost sounds ez enough to do with xml, but i would suggest a DLL

what is wrong with normal grenades? throwing type same, effect same. Maybe just doesnt have gun instead of grenade in hand lol

i'm trying to do it with XML but i can't find where the animation gets linked to the certain weapon type.

I believe it's just in the default.mrs\combat , as an elu.animation file.

effect_list.xml(SFX.mrs) from there it's a smooth sailing of Swapping animations, Also you can do it by Renaming the ELU files to something else, I managed to make my "Thunder Rocket Launcher" from swapping Animations, really easy, and looks awesome if you do it right.

Here is a small example of Swapping Animations:

It's so fun to mess with the Animations, I'll show you what i'm talking about lol :

Changed Dash Effect:

Changed Healing Effect:

Changed Rocket Launcher Effect:

Changed MG/Rifle Effect:

And you have so much Options it's crazy, You can make a whole new Animations Set, Also Male/Female Animations.

You can do it yourself easily with notepad. Just open the xml file and swap files.

which files?

 

[RevolutioN]

which files?

effect_list.xml(SFX.mrs)

 

[`Styx]

which files?

effect_list.xml inside sfx.mrs.

Just swap animations and meshes around. Quick example:

    <AddEffectElu name="ef_berserker">
        <AddBaseModel name="ef_berserker" filename="ef_berserker.elu" />
        <AddAnimation name="play" filename="ef_berserker.elu.ani" motion_type="0" motion_loop_type="loop" />
    </AddEffectElu>

To:

    <AddEffectElu name="ef_berserker">
        <AddBaseModel name="ef_berserker" filename="ef_event_ongame_jjang.elu" />
        <AddAnimation name="play" filename="ef_event_ongame_jjang.elu.ani" motion_type="0" motion_loop_type="loop" />
    </AddEffectElu>

Makes the berserker use the jjang instead of the aura around the body . I've messed around with it before, it's amusing for a while.

effect_list.xml(SFX.mrs)

What is the name of that new healing effect?

 

[RevolutioN]

What is the name of that new healing effect?

Replace this:

	<AddEffectElu name="ef_healing">
		<AddBaseModel name="ef_healing" filename="ef_healing.elu" />
		<AddAnimation name="play" filename="ef_healing.elu.ani" motion_type="0" motion_loop_type="loop" />
	</AddEffectElu>

With this:

	<AddEffectElu name="ef_healing">
		<AddBaseModel name="ef_healing" filename="ef_lighteningball.elu" />
		<AddAnimation name="play" filename="ef_lighteningball.elu.ani" motion_type="0" motion_loop_type="loop" />
	</AddEffectElu>

You can also try and Edit the "Lesser_healing" if you want.
