Hilariously stupid glitchy mod attempt!
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 2:51 pm
Oh my god... Right now I'm sitting here pretty much laughing my ass off. Here's the deal:
We know that so far any attempt I've made at saving and injecting meta has failed. Today, while I was messing with the mod2 tags, I decided to try it again. First, for the heck of it, I swapped the models for pistol and health pack, mostly because I was bored. I then decided to try some other stuff. Since I don't know exactly what the problem is, I recursively saved the mod2 meta for the active camoflauge. Then I tried injecting it non-recursively into the healthpack. As usual, an error message came up saying an exception of objectclassnil or something had not been handled and the system had to shut down. From there I went and tried out the map. UNLIKE all of my other attempts, this time the map did not fail to load. Instead it loaded up. You have to see it for yourself... I was standing in the middle of an odd grayish-silverish thing that stretched out across the map. When I moved, it seemed to move as well with me. It was everywhere. When I looked where my healthpack/camo should have been, there was nothing. The pistol was of course a health pack, but when you pick it up it still says pistol and it's as if you're holding a normal pistol. I checked where the camo usually spawns, and it was there, normal. I figure my mistake was that I somehow used the meta for how a cyborg looks when in active camoflauge, and so explains the gray anomaly. I tried this in another server... It looked hillarious, watching people run around shooting eachother with healthpacks! I uploaded the map to filefront. Comment below. Any ideas yet as to why I can't normally save/inject would be helpful. Before anyone asks, I used HMT, which is the only thing I can use other than eschaton. The file is called LMAO.
