Jason Demon · Aug 4, 2020

Please watch the video for support me. thanks.
Hello everyone, im releasing code for gunz, in this opportunity we gonna learn how to switch scoreboard in option menu inside gunz, like you see in the picture.

Im leaving a video, explaining how to do that, and explaining all code we gonna use in this tutorial.

In ZConfiguration.h search:

PHP:

struct ZCONFIG_VIDEO{

Add this almost at the end

PHP:

bool bChangeScoreboard;    //new change scoreboard button  //demon

Now go to the end of file, and above of #endif add:

PHP:

#define Z_VIDEO_CSCOREBOARD (ZGetConfiguration()->GetVideo()->bChangeScoreboard)
#define ZTOK_VIDEO_CSCOREBOARD "CSCOREBOARD"

In ZConfiguration.cpp search:

PHP:

childElement.GetChildContents(&m_MovingPicture.iResolution, ZTOK_MOVINGPICTURE_RESOLUTION );

and add above:

PHP:

childElement.GetChildContents(&m_Video.bChangeScoreboard, ZTOK_VIDEO_CSCOREBOARD); //new scoreboard button //demon

now we gonna search

PHP:

parentElement.AppendText("\n\t\t");        aElement = parentElement.CreateChildElement("NHARDWARETNL");
        sprintf(temp, "%s", m_Video.bTerrible ? "true" : "false" );
        aElement.SetContents(temp);

and add below, this

PHP:

parentElement.AppendText("\n\t\t");        aElement = parentElement.CreateChildElement(ZTOK_VIDEO_CSCOREBOARD);
        sprintf(temp, "%s", m_Video.bChangeScoreboard ? "true" : "false");
        aElement.SetContents(temp);

now in ZOptionInterface.cpp search:

PHP:

mlog("start InitInterface option\n");
    /*    // Mouse Sensitivity Min/Max (Z_MOUSE_SENSITIVITY_MIN ~ Z_MOUSE_SENSITIVITY_MAX)
    BEGIN_WIDGETLIST("MouseSensitivitySlider", pResource, MSlider*, pWidget);
    pWidget->SetMinMax(Z_MOUSE_SENSITIVITY_MIN, Z_MOUSE_SENSITIVITY_MAX);
    pWidget->SetValue(Z_MOUSE_SENSITIVITY);
    END_WIDGETLIST();    */

and add just below, this:

PHP:

//new scoreboard button //demon    
MButton* pWidgett = (MButton*)pResource->FindWidget("ScoreBoardOption");
    if( pWidgett )    {        pWidgett->SetCheck(ZGetConfiguration()->GetVideo()->bChangeScoreboard);    }

in the same file we gonna search:

PHP:

bool ZOptionInterface::SaveInterfaceOption(void){
ZIDLResource* pResource = ZApplication::GetGameInterface()->GetIDLResource();

and add just below, this

PHP:

//new scoreboard button //demon    
MButton* pWidget = (MButton*)pResource->FindWidget("ScoreBoardOption");
    if(pWidget)    {        Z_VIDEO_CSCOREBOARD = pWidget->GetCheck();    }

in ZScreenEffectManager.h search:

PHP:

ZScreenEffect*    m_pScorePanel;

add below, this:

PHP:

ZScreenEffect*    m_pCScorePanel;

in the same file search:

PHP:

void DrawScoreBoard();

below, add this

PHP:

void DrawCScoreBoard ();

now in ZScreenEffectManager.cpp search:

PHP:

m_pScorePanel    = new ZScreenEffect(m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_in_tab.elu"));

and just below, add this:

PHP:

m_pCScorePanel    = new ZScreenEffect(m_pEffectMeshMgr->Get("ef_in_newtab.elu"));

in the same file, search:

PHP:

void ZScreenEffectManager::DrawScoreBoard(){
    m_pScorePanel->Draw(0);
}

and add this below:

PHP:

void ZScreenEffectManager::DrawCScoreBoard(){
    m_pCScorePanel->Draw(0);
}

in the method:

PHP:

ZScreenEffectManager::ZScreenEffectManager()

search:

PHP:

m_pScorePanel = NULL;

and just below, add this:

PHP:

m_pCScorePanel = NULL;

in the method

PHP:

void ZScreenEffectManager::Destroy()

search

PHP:

SAFE_DELETE(m_pScorePanel);

and add just below, this

PHP:

SAFE_DELETE(m_pCScorePanel);

now in ZCombatInterface.cpp search:

PHP:

void ZCombatInterface::DrawScoreBoard(MDrawContext* pDC){

and inside the method search:

PHP:

ZGetScreenEffectManager()->DrawScoreBoard();

and replace with this

PHP:

if(ZGetConfiguration()->GetVideo()->bChangeScoreboard){
        ZGetScreenEffectManager()->DrawScoreBoard();
    }
    else
{        ZGetScreenEffectManager()->DrawCScoreBoard();
    }

this is all for source code, now we gonna do the interface

now in interface/default/option.xml search:

PHP:

<FRAME item="AudioOptionGroup" parent="OptionGroup">

and above add this:

PHP:

<!-- Button Scoreboard Change -->
        <LABEL item="Label" parent="VideoOptionGroup">
        <FONT>FONTa9</FONT>
        <TEXTCOLOR>
            <R>205</R>
            <G>205</G>
            <B>205</B>
        </TEXTCOLOR>
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>2</X>
            <Y>290</Y>
            <W>300</W>
            <H>24</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <TEXT>Change Scoreboard</TEXT> <!-- ????? -->
    </LABEL>    
<BUTTON item="ScoreBoardOption" parent="VideoOptionGroup">
        <BUTTONLOOK>Custom1ButtonLook</BUTTONLOOK>
        <PUSHBUTTON/>
        <BOUNDS>
            <X>229</X>
            <Y>290</Y>
            <W>24</W>
            <H>24</H>
        </BOUNDS>
        <ALIGN>
            <HALIGN>right</HALIGN>
        </ALIGN>
        <CUSTOM/>
    </BUTTON>

now in interface/default/combat/screeneffects.xml search:

PHP:

<AddEffectElu name="ef_in_tab.elu">
        <AddBaseModel name="ef_in_tab.elu" filename="ef_in_tab.elu" />
</AddEffectElu>

and below add this:

PHP:

<!-- new scoreboard button // demon -->
<AddEffectElu name="ef_in_newtab.elu">    
<AddBaseModel name="ef_in_newtab.elu" filename="ef_in_newtab.elu" />
</AddEffectElu>

great contribution, I hope you publish more good things like this contribution.

Very good, but I do not think it is very useful, and that would be just one more option for the game that nobody would use, you will notice, but very good code.
