Re: (wip) Ashes 2063 TC - THREAD EVACUATION

[Vostyok]

Small bug report: Whenever I use the sawed-off shotgun alt-fire (=knife), I'm stuck with the knife after the first hit without being able to strike again or change weapon with the scroll wheel. I must change weapon with number keys.
This is with ashes weapon pack.

Lol. Is this your original copy or the modified copy I sent you? It's works fine with the copy I sent you on my machine. And is it just the sawed-off shotgun?

Just for reference, the code for the bootknife should read like this:

---

Code: Select all

ACTOR BootknifeSawedoff : Weapon
{
  Weapon.Kickback 100
  Obituary "%o was shived by %k."
  +WEAPON.MELEEWEAPON
  +AMMO_OPTIONAL
  +CHEATNOTWEAPON
  +NOALERT
  Weapon.BobStyle Alpha
	Weapon.BobSpeed 1.5
	Weapon.BobRangeX .2
	Weapon.BobRangeY .5
   attacksound "weapons/knifehit"
  States
  {
  Ready:
    KNIF A 1 A_WeaponReady
    Loop
  Deselect:
    TNT1 A 1 a_lower
    loop
  Select:
    KNIF AAAAAA 0 A_raise 
    KNIF ABCD 1
	TNT1 A 0 A_CustomPunch(random(3, 6) * 5, TRUE, 0, "knifePuff", 80)
	KNIF EFG 1
	KNIF G 0 A_selectweapon("sawedoff")
    goto deselect
  Fire:
    KNIF A 0
	goto deselect
	}
}

while the sawed off must have this code in it's select state:

Code: Select all

  Select:
    SAWN A 0 A_TakeInventory("Bootknifesawedoff")
    SAWN A 1 A_Raise
	SAWN A 0 A_Raise
    Loop

I know it's probably a very hacky way to do it, but I wanted separate death messages and kill counts for the knife. But if that still doesn't work, let me know. I will show you how to set the sawed-off have a altfire knife attack instead of switching to the knife, which is what I am doing for episode 2.

The borders of the post apocalyptic wasteland can not contain my happiness when I see dem new screenshots.
Go team Ashes!

No, go you!

Thank you for the comment. Just as a bonus, have another picture!

Anyone else having issues with loading saves? Getting error message: Level was saved with a different set or order of ACS modules. (Have VEHICLE, save has SOLARPOW)

And I'am using the same GZDoom version these saves where created with (gzdoom-x64-g4.4pre-313-g331f3d85d).

This is caused by the maps and mod being loaded in an incorrect order, or saving after loading them in an incorrect order. If you are using a launcher, load the maps first and then the mod second. I would also recommend using a shortcut as stated on fp. Try a different load order and see if your saves work.

This is something I will be changing in the next release, which is the split between maps and mod. They shall be a combined pk3, with the only separate modules being the maps/weapons only packs.

That (kinda) did it, thanks. However, i had to load the mod first, maps second and the sfx-mod last in my case, using a batch-file. But the saves now works.

And thanks for this awesome TC of course. That is some outstanding work.

[Vostyok]

Very good. Glad that helped!

Also, to everyone just joining this thread, no we haven't had a new release. False alarm. It just got popular again all of a sudden.

There is no launch threat at this time.

Well the code is exactly the same in mine. The bug is with the original and the new one the same. But after several trial, it appears that it is linked with the other mods I'm playing with. When running the weapon mod with original doom/doom2/Ashes2063 it's running smooth. It's weird it's only affecting the double boomstick

For record, the mods I'm playing with that induce the bug are:

Path=zbloody_hell.wad
Path=ZBloody_Hell_v199.pk3
Path=ZBloody_Hell_v199x_Patch.pk3
Path=AshesWeapons_mod.pk3
Path=AshesFAL_mod.pk3
Path=Ashes_CJs_WastedAshesSFXs.wad
Path=mXhairs_2.0.pk3
Path=sm4BBgorev2.pk3

I think it might be due to the zbloody_hell mod that also have a sawed-off. I did not check the code but it might be that there is a conflict between both shotguns? Like perhaps at the end of the knife hit, it comes back to the zbloodyhell shotgun instead of the Ashes' one and since it does not exist in the inventory (as I have only Ashes weapons), it creates the bug? I will check when I have a time and let you know.

Thanks for help!

I've got a little question about load order here: I want to use the Weapons Mod with both the FAL and the Jetfire Mod. I think I'm supposed to load the Weapons Mod, then the Jetfire Mod, then the Jetfire FAL. Is that correct?

(I use ZDL, for the record. Just want to know what mods in what order, please.)

[JMP-Jack]

No, go you!

That is correct. That is the original order. If you are also using the sound pack, that goes last of all.

So I did have it right. Thanks.

hey, can anyone link me the FAL mod? thanks in advance

[Techy_koi]

Hey Vostyok any good apocalypse/fallout-ish based maps for your mod the maps have amazing replay value (with a lot of reference) so any chance you know one

It's in the OP, under the "Releases" section.

There is the After The Holocaust map, by SgtMarkIV, which is a prototype of his later Hell On Earth pack, I presume. Very action oriented, set in an apocalypse in progress.

There is also the Monster Hunter Limited maps. Very interesting urban maps. Very dark and Stalker-ish.

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/level ... /m-o/mohu2

Lots of maps out there to try which go for an atmospheric, exploration theme. Check out also Bloody Steel, Doxylamine Moon, Hellbound (especially the Middle city maps), Comatose or the Lovecraft-esque Strange Eons!
