rename your player actor class to something else (like "SimpletonPlayer"), then make a new MAPINFO GameInfo Definition (or edit it if you already have one) with the following line:

Code: Select all

GameInfo
{
PlayerClasses = "SimpletonPlayer"
}

GameInfo

Code: Select all

Script error, "GAMEINFO" line 2:
Expected '=' but got '{' instead.

???

[Tapwave]

make a new MAPINFO

GAMEINFO is a wholly different lump. That gameinfo code you've been shown goes in MAPINFO.

[simpletonnn]

I've been trying to get this to work but it just won't

Code: Select all

GAMEINFO
{
	PlayerClasses = "ProjPlayer"
}

This is all there is in the MAPINFO, and I can't figure out how to get it to work
I NEED HELP

[YukiHerz]

What kind of "Does not work" are we talking about?
Is there any error code?
Are you sure your player class is called ProjPlayer?

[EffinghamHuffnagel]

Your MAPINFO may define PlayerClasses as ProjPlayer, but your DECORATE still has it defined as DoomPlayer. Change DoomPlayer to ProjPlayer. If that still doesn't work, Change the definition to

ACTOR ProjPlayer : DoomPlayer replaces DoomPlayer

That should do it.

[simpletonnn]

ACTOR ProjPlayer : DoomPlayer replaces DoomPlayer

oh shit i just remembered it was still registered as a regular PlayerPawn
Edit: for some reason nothing is working, the playertype never loads in the game

[simpletonnn]

i would post a useful bump/update but i cant because i'm stuck with this goddamn DoomPlayer bullshit that i am hopeless to find the fix to
i've tried using inheritance, GAMEINFO lumps, and a bunch of other methods of replacing DoomPlayer but NOTHING IS WORKING
i've been searching for like weeks for someone that can finally tell me what i'm doing wrong with this and how to fix it but nothing yet

[Gutawer]

Maybe you could try uploading the wad that's having the issues?

[simpletonnn]

Maybe you could try uploading the wad that's having the issues?

it's the mod itself, i've only been trying things on version 1.1

[Gezzdt]

I downloaded your Projectile1.1.pk3, opened it and created a MAPINFO file.
Then wrote this Code into it:

Code: Select all

gameinfo
{
    playerclasses = "ProjPlayer"
}

And changed in DECORATE:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Doomplayer : PlayerPawn 
to 
ACTOR ProjPlayer : Doomplayer

saved everything and loaded it up. I could pickup the FireballRifle and switch between weapons with the mousewheel.

[simpletonnn]

but did the jump height work correctly?

[Gezzdt]

Yes, i could jump higher as normal, over imp fireballs for example.
