Multiple Rambo bows possible?
« on: July 09, 2008, 11:40:51 am »
Hullo respected community!

This is my first post on this forum, and I'm looking for a wee answer: is there any mod out there, or any easy way, that enables multiple Rambo bows?

I apologize is this is an old question you've heard a hundred and one one times before, but since a few weeks back, me and my mates are hooked on this game, and what would make it perfect would be if we could have a massive showdown of blood, death and.. well... Rambo bows ::)

Thank you in advance for any answers!

Cheers,
Staffy

It'd be easy to just mod the weapons.ini to have the same stats as the rambo bow. Just copy the stats of the bow onto an auto, and the stats of the flame arrows onto the socom, and disable the other weapons. You wouldn't get the life regeneration, but you could always script that. Plus, with nothing but bows, you're dead if you get hit anyway.
I attend grammar school, last grade, and ignorance is all around me. Well, good for them. Ignorance is bliss.

The mods we usually talk about here are client-side, i.e. graphics, sounds and weapon mods. Spawning weapons is server-side.

With that said, I took a quick glance at the scripting help files and I think you might like the ForceWeapon function. Determine which one of your friends is best at programming and write a quick script, then get someone to host a dedicated server. You'll probably want to disable all of the weapons using the soldat.ini file on the server, then write set their weapon to the bow every time they join or respawn.

That would be cool

I dont think its possible to have it though :/

you can use tools like fistbox to spawn weapons though.  Try downloading fistbox and running it on your dedicated server for you can your friends (or LAN, whatever your using)

or you could go to a fistbox server, there are two that I know of, one is in the USA and theres even one in Australia now :/  USA: Toumaz's Fistbox.  Aus: Lanspace Fistbox (I think)

good luck!

Many thanks guys!

We tried the one with just copying the stats of the bow onto another weapon, the Luger, with some great results :D

I'll now have a few mates more technically cunning than myself have a look at your other suggestions, to see what they can cook up..

Again, many thanks folks - if I ever see you in a game online I'll let you frag me for free  :-* (not that you'd have any problem doing that anyway, but now I could SAY I LET you do it! :D)


Peace! err... I mean... War! in Soldat!

The server needed for scripting is NOT the one that comes with soldat, so you download soldatserver and extract it into a NEW folder, not soldat.

Other things you need to know will be in the scripting sections of these forums.
