Programming three team CTF

#41

I don’t think that’s avoidable when you’ve got three teams, @KuehnhammerTobias. If it is, then you’re welcome to put whatever it is it should actually be in there. Otherwise it’s gonna have to stay like that.

#42

Of course, it’s your project, it’s your decision!

#43

Maybe I’ll make a side mod where baseq3 uses Q3TA’s “Prepare your team!” sound when beginning TDM/CTF matches while I’m at it then… missionpack will still work fine, it too will use it when starting a TDM match.

#44 
gametype == GT_CTF && gametype == GT_3WCTF

This is always false. Gametype cannot be two values at once. Use or (||) instead of and (&&).

gametype != GT_CTF && GT_3WCTF

GT_3WCTF is not compared to gametype and is non zero so it has no effect. The statement will be true when gametype is GT_3WCTF which is not your intent.

	eventParm = ( otherTeam == TEAM_RED ) ? GTS_REDTEAM_TOOK_LEAD; 
	eventParm = ( otherTeam == TEAM_BLUE ) ? GTS_BLUETEAM_TOOK_LEAD; 
	eventParm = ( otherTeam == TEAM_GREEN ) ? GTS_GREENTEAM_TOOK_LEAD;

This should use else if. (I have no idea if the your original code actually works)

if ( otherTeam == TEAM_RED )
	eventParm = GTS_REDTEAM_TOOK_LEAD;
else if ( otherTeam == TEAM_BLUE )
	eventParm = GTS_BLUETEAM_TOOK_LEAD;
else if ( otherTeam == TEAM_GREEN )
	eventParm = GTS_GREENTEAM_TOOK_LEAD;

Thanks for giving me suggestions to the code @zturtleman. Also, in ai_main.c, in line 261, empty area is misspelled. Is it supposed to be that way for legacy Q3 versions (like the demo/demotest)?

#46

No, it is not spelled wrong. This is for colored text, in this case default(white)/red. Assuming you are concerned about the \r^1remtpy SOLID text.
So it’s spelled correct.

#47

kk. emtpy -> empty

#48

Sorry, my bad, thought coltongit meant the ^ character.
coltongit: nice catch, read it 100 times but didn’t notice!

Hmm, I wonder if it is worth to fix more places where something is spelled wrong or missing characters.
I can extract all strings, so they are easier to check.
But I need a (native) english speaking Person, because for example I can’t even translate:
%s: Runt packet\n
in cl_main.c/CL_PacketEvent, what is runt? No translater can translate ‘Runt’ into German, so I don’t know if this is right or wrong.

or what does this mean (sv_client.c):
ioquake3: 'Try removing setu cvars from your config.\n’
Spearmint: 'Try removing setu%s cvars from your config.\n’
Isn’t here a p missing?

Anyways maybe I will place all strings here, and every american or english speaker can check one line?

#49

Maybe I’ll go ahead & make a model pack with skins that were previously attached to a model (for example, Wrack, Phobos, Slammer, Stroggo, etc.) Apparently even Xaero has a Stroggo skin so that might be fun to play against as well. I would love to see the Q3R skins ready to play too… I’ve got them if you need them…

#50

Maybe there IS no equivalent of ‘runt’ in German, @KuehnhammerTobias.

#51

Okay, but can you explain, in other words, what ‘runt’ is?
Is it an animal from outer space? A new programming language?
What’s your native language? What is ‘runt’ in your language?

#52

In English, it means “youngest child/other animal in the litter”. Also, I’m currently making a chatfile for the Santa model from QL, so this oughta be interesting…

#53

:laughing: Honestly?

#54

Yep. That’s what it means in English, @KuehnhammerTobias.

#55

Okay thanks than! Though, I don’t understand %s: Runt packet\n in CL_PacketEvent than. If you an American, what do you think, does this message make sense, to you?

#56

I’m a Canadian, but we make sense of it in the same way. So yes, in that case, it would be the smallest packet.

#57

Smallest animal in the litter, not youngest.

In the case of “runt packet”, runt means “too small” or “undersized” or “less than acceptable size”. I read runt packet and runt frame are mentioned in the Ethernet protocol definition.

“setu” is a Q3 command that can create user info cvars. It makes sense that the error for user info string being too longer would mention the command. Though, it could also be a mod’s fault.

Spearmint references commands that do not exist for splitscreen players, such as setu2 for second player. I should probably add those…

#58

Best to go ahead & add those, @zturtleman.

#59

Thank you guys, what would this world be without Americans/Canadians? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

#60

We certainly are the best, aren’t we? With both Canada Day & Independence Day on the horizon, what should we plan to do?
