KF Mod Version 3 - progress

[Vanico]

Santa Clause, NOOO!

[N3Cr0]

I'm not sure if we need this, but I wish to have a Linux version of the next release. Therefor I've made an installer script with many features (e.g. cache extractor).
Haven't tried it yet, but when V3 comes I will build a package with it.

Just to present any result:

cool man, this will help 100GPing100 and Linux users!

Thanks!

The ragdoll program. What is it exactly? What type of files does it create?

The reload animation seems a timing issue when the reloading state was coded. If that is the case it would just be a matter of changing and testing until it got right.

I also noticed that when I use multy firemode weapons it changes the weapon mode (automatic, semi-automatic) when I aim down the sights. I do not know if this is intentional, but it should be something changeable by a key on the keyboard (say Z) and not by the mouse.

I am able to get you whatever animations you want from files of the game. I can extract everything from the game. So if you need an animation to tweek it I can extract it for you.

The KAT program creates a karma ragdoll.  KAT: (under this page heading "Getting KAT" gives a link for download) http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/KarmaAuthoringTool.html

The KAT program produces .ka files.  .ka files can be found in KFMod20\KarmaData.  .ka are also editable in notepad.
The best ragdoll creation tutorial: http://www.unreal.shaungoeppinger.com/devragdollkat.html   This tutorial got me very close but editing a few details in the ragdoll file made ragdolls work nearly exactly as I wanted.

I agree, changing firemode by pressing Z or some other key would be better than the mouse.  Everytime raising the gun and it changes, single / auto, is yes, very irritating.

The Taurus and Winchester empty fire.  If they are in the anim "Raise" the Empty anim looks ok.  But if they are lowered, they jump to "raise" and activate 'empty' (emptyfire) anim.  It doesn't look correct.  Knife has 'smoothing' code that bypasses certain anims - I think that's similar to the Taurus and Winchester problem.
But I was also thinking of deleting the empty and empty fire anims from the code which may save some work?

You can extract any file to tweak!! Amazing!!  I would like to modify the KFSoldier to include the new 3p weapons reloads.  And this may also mean I can add another solider character...  Perhaps even modify some of the weapons to include "Raise" - the Deagle for example.

Oh my Guutness! That is what I have been looking for. You have an apps that extracts and compile the files? Can you share it with me too? I want to tweak the characters (zombies) and weapons for my own personal use.

NOTE: I have a UMake apps, but I don't exactly know how to use it.

[100GPing100]

To recompile the extracted animation, etc, I allways use the editor. After I've changed what I wanted I go to the editor open the package where I extracted it from, delete the old one and add in the new one with the same name.

I never used UMake, so I'm not sure how it works.


@Sniper34 When I extract something, I extract everything from a file. So, if I want to extract something from a static mesh package I extract all the static meshes. But if I also want the textures for it I need to extract the textures file.

So, do you need 1 specific skeletal mesh (and animations for it), or also the textures? (Combiners and shaders do not get exported because there is no file type for them out of the UnrealEnginel).

[poompoom500]

  To 100GPing100,

I am sorry for butting in, but exactly do you extract a file? What application do you use?

It is a console application.

[poompoom500]

  To 100GPing100,
 
Thanks much bud! Will try it now.

UPDATE: I tried using "cmd" in "Run" and I get the DOS mode. What do I need to type to extract a *.u file? Can you type help? What's the code for options?

[N3Cr0]

I didn't try it yet, but you should have taken a look to the download page. It seems easy to handle (as far as you know the name of the package you wanna view/extract - take a look in the Animations folder): Just define the path as an argument.

for example:

Code: [Select]

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004/KFMod20 KFCharacterModels
the line above will show you all contents of that package

To extract it try this:

Code: [Select]

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004/KFMod20 -export KFCharacterModels
This should work and Linux and Windows the same way.

EDIT: By the way:
1st try: For me it displays much more (the full help text) - even without setting any argument (poompoom500, don't use symbols like "?" or "/" behind the command)
Just to demonstrate what I see in my terminal (Linux version):

So I would say, if you can work with a console (it's not as difficult as many people think) you should be able to handle it easily.

EDIT2:
Holy Sh!t 111
I just opened the KFCharacterModels , it immediately started loading all the content and then a new window has opened , rendering a clot.
personally I like this tool - it fits my style

EDIT3:
Wow, I didn't know the chaingunner is still in V2.52
Nice! ^^

Thx N3cro for that advice!

100GPing100, thx I will use the app to extract!

[poompoom500]

  To Necro,

Where will the UModel place the exported files?

First of all, I placed the UModel.exe under a folder from C:\Program Files\UmodelUViewer. And I run it under DOS mode using the "cmd" in "Run". Then I change the directory to C:\Program Files\UModelUViewer. Then I run umodel. And I got the options (see picture below):

[N3Cr0]

Oops, haven't tried extracting yet (I will do that when I'm back home), but I guess it will store the files eighter in the same directory as the .exe or the directory where you specify the path.
OK, now where you got the program running the rest is very easy:
your fault was you have not set any parameters - this can't do anything except of displaying you how to use this tool.
Well, what you entered in the cmd was

Code: [Select]

umodel.exe(with or without the .exe extension - it should make no difference under Windows)
But you had to type in the following:

Code: [Select]

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004/KFMod20 KFCharacterModels  or if you only wnat to export all content

Code: [Select]

umodel -path=c:/games/ut2004/KFMod20 -export KFCharacterModels 

[100GPing100]

I think there are some user made GUIs, so that it makes it easier for people who do not know how to use the console.

@poompoom500 to extract files from a .u package I use ucc.exe.

For example, to extract all classes from a .u file I open CMD and do:

cd C:\Unreal Anthology\UT2004\System
ucc batchexport .\MyuFile.u classes .uc ..\MyuFile\Classes\

"cd C:\Unreal Anthology\UT2004\System" will make the current directory the one indicated, in this case my System directory.
I can then call ucc.exe with ucc because I am currently in it's folder, the system folder.
I use the command batchexport that allows me to export things.
I indicate what file I want to export with. ".\" indicates it is the current directory and then the file name.
I tell the compiler I want to export classes into a file type of '.uc'.
Last I need to tell the compiler where to place the extracted files, so I use "..\" to indicate 1 directory back from the current directory ("...\" for 2 directories and so on). I told ucc to extract it into "C:\Unreal Anthology\UT2004\System\MyuFile\Classes\" so I can compile it without needing to move folders.
