K.A.T.T Mod update thread

[BTTFModMachine 260]

Like I said, I am not a good enough coder to actually "Remove" all references to the flying delorean from this script. Maybe uokka or somebody else can help.

[peter 25]

I'll go and ask him

[uokka 117]

Woah!

IIRC, There aren't that many references but I edited the provided plain source code (.txt), not decompiled SCM gibberish.

And only after long time reading the scripts and getting an idea of where it loops and why.

Sorry but I hate editing SCM. It's worse than coding in batch (which is still way more eye friendly).

[peter 25]

epic cuz then now I can use that addon with del88mp's mod on the time circuits where it gives me flying mode etc etc, its pretty cool

[Delorean88MP 41]

@peter

it's ok. You may copy my delorean88mp code.

(Remember green.wormhole to regwormhole).

[peter 25]

Thanks Delorean88MP, I'll give credit to everyone who's helped and who's code I use etc etc

[uokka 117]

OK I had a look but didn't test and I wouldn't be suprised if more is needed. Anyway, it's a start for you.

Remove or comment out this line:

gosub @TIME_3860

In plain source code this gosub is called :Fly.

And change this:

:TIME_6253
gosub @TIME_3672 
if 
25@ == 469
else_jump @TIME_6294 
0AB4: 24@ = var 904
jump @TIME_6321 

:TIME_6294
if 
25@ == 541
else_jump @TIME_6321 
0AB4: 24@ = var 905 

:TIME_6321
Audiostream.PerformAction(24@, PAUSE)
gosub @TIME_583 
if 
25@ == 469
else_jump @TIME_6369 
0AB4: 24@ = var 904
jump @TIME_6396 

:TIME_6369
if 
25@ == 541
else_jump @TIME_6396 
0AB4: 24@ = var 905 

:TIME_6396
Audiostream.PerformAction(24@, RESUME)
return 

... to this:

:TIME_6253
gosub @TIME_3672 // @Effects
gosub @TIME_583 // @TimeTravel
return 

:FlyTravelCheck

Messing around with decomppiled code has several disadvantages.

Use plain source whenever possible.

[peter 25]

hey thanks man it works, now I can do a few more things

I actually need one more bit of help and its to do with models...I put a new model into GTA and the game crashes regardless of which vehicle I set the model and texture as

I got the Idea from Delorean88MP's post earlier on about doctor who so I thought I'd try something

[uokka 117]

Maybe corrupted download or wrong/missing vehicle lines.

Also I'd highly recommend Mod Loader for replacing vehicles so you mess with .IMGs as little as possible; IMG editing tools can break things.

[peter 25]

haaa I found that out the hard way in 2010 when I had to re-do and re-edit the original texture for KATT...yuuuup his original design was all blue coils, the knight industries on the front grill and the knight industries logo on Mr fusion along with Knight Automated Time Traveler written onto the rear bumper

I'll try again with that stuff, the models spawn BUT when I get into the vehicle the game crashes

[uokka 117]

Much likely a coding issue then rather than a model issue.

[peter 25]

I used SAMI to install it and now it works fine...its down to the handling, vehicle ID's etc etc

Well Hopefully I can release KATT as a standalone thing without the other DeLoreans soon and get people to beta test and report back with bugs, errors etc

[uokka 117]

Did I already mention that Mod Loader is super awesome?

It can read vehicle lines from txt files.

GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\mycar.dff
GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\mycar.txd
GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\data\carcol.txt
GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\data\carmods.txt
GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\data\handling.txt
GTASA\modloader\MyCAR\data\vehicle.txt

[peter 25]

mwahaha yeah, also I'll have links to the mod on my skydrive :3 because awesome

[BTTFModMachine 260]

Good job! I like the orange and blue sparks idea.

[peter 25]

it was going to be yellow and purple sparks but I couldn't figure out the effects, they wouldn't work

[BTTFModMachine 260]

The sparks are made up of two effects: the spark core, and the spark. The orange ones are called REGSPARKCORE and REGSPARK. The blue ones are BLUESPARKCORE and BLUESPARK. Find them in effects.fxp. Find FX_INFO_COLOUR_DATA in the spark effects and change the RGB values.

[peter 25]

yeah I did all that but it never worked for me, I dunno why but anyways I'm happy with what I have so its all good

[dclrocks 0]

Great job man!

[peter 25]

hey thanks, once I look over everything I will release K.A.T.T only on here

[BTTFModMachine 260]

You'll need permission from thisdp to release the model.

[peter 25]

if he's on youtube then I'll ask or even if he's on here

[BTTFModMachine 260]

Nice update! Although some of your video was black screen with sound only.

Could you send me your KITT laser script?

I also have an all proof car script that activates automatically when entering a car. It makes the car impervious to everything, including when upside-down. The only things that reverse the all proof car script are refueling the Mr. Fusion and getting busted or wasted. I could send it to you.

[peter 25]

sure no problem also the black screen is my fault its something that happened in my editing software

[BTTFModMachine 260]

After dodging all the bugs in PC game mods, video editing should not be a problem.
