How to fix the SBD Chunk's (FAQ)

Post by Qdin »

Hey ya'll

I just got tired of the Super Battledroid's chunks were the normal Battledroid, so I decided to fix it

all in all (+ munge etc.) it took me about 5 minutes, because it's so simple (I'd wonder why it hasn't been fixed... :? anyways)

in the Side Folder, cis, you copy the cis_inf_default.odf and rename it to cis_inf_default_sbd.odf

you now scroll down to the Chunks Section which is just below it -

CHUNKSECTION = "CHUNK1"
ChunkGeometryName = "bdroid_chunk1"
ChunkNodeName = "bone_neck"
ChunkTerrainCollisions = "4"
ChunkTerrainEffect = "dirtspray"
ChunkTrailEffect = "com_sfx_chunksmolder"
ChunkPhysics = "FULL"
ChunkOmega = "4.0 4.0 4.0"ChunkSpeed = 8.0


you see the green line? make it call for sbdroid_chunk1 so it'll be like this: ChunkGeometryName = "sbdroid_chunk1"

in other words, you just add an 's' in front of it then you save it, and we're almost done!

now you save that .odf and open cis_inf_default_rifleman.odf
ClassParent = "cis_inf_default"
should be:
ClassParent = "cis_inf_default_sbd"

you save and munge.

so all in all, this won't take much longer than 5 minutes to do it and munge

here's the proof:

I hope you'll all enjoy it :)

and you're welcome :wink: should this be released as a mod, or would anyone else do it?

It might be good to make this a quick, downloadable side so the n00bs :P can do this easy as well.

Well, okay - but I hope this will be the LAST map with the SBD chunks with regular chunks :P

I'll upload the cis.lvl right away, and then release it on filefront :)

EDIT:
btw, what about the cisshell.lvl? should it be uploaded too?

He means just make a side folder as in data/modid/sides/sbd, with all the sbd stuff in it.

Now, I think he mines the whole cis.lvl. Its finally fixed. It took a teenager 5 minutes to do it and pandemic . . .infinity


This is one of those things that make you want to yell : "Oh. My. Go. .osh"

Whoa... why upload the entire CIS.lvl? That means an extra 2-6mb for every download. Just do a separate side just for the SBD and it'll work the same.

*EDIT*

If he uploaded cis.lvl AND cisshell.lvl you could overwrite game's original, thus fixing it for every map.

A lot of things where taken out of the game due to memory issues so they would run better in the non-PC market. I believe this is one of those things.

Anyway, nice work.

Nice fix Qdin! Definitely one for the community patch.
I didn't see any magnaguard chunks, but I suppose someone could retexture some sbdroid chunks to kinda look like it. Or, you could always model some chunks.

I've run into a slight problem and it is this:

A CRASH.

It even happens with my defualt assests folder cis sides.

I don't need to change any reqs or lua calls do I? (therefore rendering this usless as a side mod)

*EDIT*
I got Skyhawk to give me his lvl and now I'm working on a simple easy installer. . .

Ace, Qdin, and I made a patch that fixes the game. You can download this "patch" here:

http://files.filefront.com/SBD_Explosio ... einfo.html

Credits:

Qdin - The tutorial (Even though I didnt fix it this way, lmao. :roll:)

Ace - The handy installer

-_-/Skyhawk - Fixed cis.lvl

Bugs:

This will NOT work online, it'll only work if the server has this patch as well.

p.s- if an admin/moderator wont mind sticki-ing this, it would be much appreciated.
