Title: How to make a mod? Post by: gme on July 26, 2011, 09:25:11 AM Hello,
I'v been researching for the past couple of days on how to make a OA mod but I can't find any good tutorials. I have downloaded OAX (http://code.google.com/p/oax/) and changed some of the RL setting and ran the bat files to make the .qvm files, put it all into a .PK3 file loaded up the mod but nothing changed. Can someone help please. (I did check the resource thread but alot of them have been removed.) Thank you. Title: Re: How to make a mod? Post by: sago007 on July 26, 2011, 10:42:42 AM The qvm files must be in a folder named "vm" inside the pk3-file. If the pk3 file is in a mod folder. The mod must be loaded. If the pk3 file is in baseoa it must start with a letter after 'p'.

To fix it I just did the same as you would with any mod but only had the vm file by it's self in the PK3 file. Title: Re: How to make a mod?

I do not see in the code how servers are queried for a certain game; i just wondered if someone would happen to know how it works. Even if i just knew the identification string of OA itself, i might be able to find it in the code. (yes i tried searching for OA and some alternatives...) Title: Re: How to make a mod? Post by: grey matter on March 04, 2014, 04:37:32 PM Do you want to filter an entire engine like OpenArena (GAMENAME_FOR_MASTER, HEARTBEAT_FOR_MASTER, PROTOCOL_VERSION etc.) or just "baseoa" (GAME_VERSION etc.), the default gamecode?
servernode_t.gamename from q3_ui/ui_servers2.c should be equal to the server's fs_game, but this is unreliable to detect mods. You might need to patch the engine (client/cl_main.c), or extend the game to include a cvar (game/g_main.c, CVAR_SERVERINFO) which you filter in q3_ui. |
