Trying to make hitmark script for 1.3 / 1.4

[virus]

Just to make it not look like S_hift is talking to himself.

Good Guy Greg.

Shift, we're all keeping up with updates. Thanks.

This is what I needed to make mine better.

Code: Select all

$Presto::screenSize["320x240(V)"] = "320 240";
$Presto::screenSize["400x300(V)"] = "400 300";
$Presto::screenSize["480x360(V)"] = "480 360";
$Presto::screenSize["512x384"] = "512 384";
$Presto::screenSize["640x400"] = "640 400";
$Presto::screenSize["640x480"] = "640 480";
$Presto::screenSize["800x600"] = "800 600";
$Presto::screenSize["1024x768"] = "1024 768";
function Presto::ScreenSize() {
	%res = $pref::videoFullScreenRes;
	if ($pref::VideoFullScreen) {
		%posRes = $Presto::screenSize[%res];
		if (%posRes != "")
			return %posRes;
		}
	return $Presto::screenSize["640x480"];
	}

who knew presto was so badass? though i think i might need to add a few resolutions to that though...

also shift, this is what you were looking for.

Code: Select all

function mHUD::CreateBitmap(%frame, %name) {
	%var = newobject(%name, FearGuiFormattedText, 0, 0, 255, 255);
	addToSet(%frame, %var);
	if ($mHUD::DebugMode) echo(%name @ "\(" @ %var @ "\) Created in " @ %frame);
	return %var;
	}	

it's using the same method that im using atm. creates a hud, then toggles it on and off.

perrinoia udpated it, but it only makes the reticle blink. Its not really ahitmarker

Code: Select all

    function onClientMessage(%client, %msg)
    {
       if(%client)
          $lastClientMessage = %client;

       // filter messages here
       if(%msg == "~wButton3.wav");
       {
          %maxWinks = 2;
          %WinksPerSecond = 2;
          for(%i = 0; %i < %maxWinks * 2; %i++)
              Schedule("mHUD::SetVisible(reticle, "@ %i % 2 @");", %i / (%WinksPerSecond * 2));
       }
       return true;
    }

Crow, these are the hitmark variations I made in tribes bmp format. They can't be opened unless you convert them. They should be transparent.

Updated to 64x64

+1 for tribes evolution. I don't know why anyone hadn't done this before. Anyway here are some variations of the HitMark.png for 1.4


I've tested this size out on 1024x768 it should look good on other resolutions. Its a very subtle design, tactile, and non distracting. The white one is probably the best one for the crosshairs I've posted. The green one probably matches well with some of the stock reticles.

fuuuuuuk!!!! i used it on this morning and its GREAT!!!!!
it gives me good feeling of shooting.

[S_hift]

yeah sometimes you can't hear the hit sounds in the fray, it definitely helps to see it
