Galtanor's Invasion [Beta][Pics][Updated 10/26/2008][v022][Patch 1.3]

[bushbomb]

Galtanor, do you know how I can do this, and have it work with your mutator?

UTHUD(PC.MyHUD).AddPostRenderedActor(newHUD);

I'm drawing something on the canvas, after the HUD is rendered. If I use a default gametype (like CTF, DM, etc) it works fine, but I don't seem to get anything with your stuff on. Maybe it's not working because of the UTHUD(...) part not being your hud? Is there a place to determine what HUD is actively being used?

I am subclassing UTHUD, so I do not think that is the issue. I only override a few functions: DisplayScoring, DrawPostGameHud, DisplayMap, and DisplayHUDMessage. I know what is doing it tho
Earlier I had a problem with the custom HUD disappearing after a while in network games. So in the RestartPlayer function in the gametype, I send a command to the client to reset the HUD to my custom one. Of course when that happens, the client *DELETES* the old HUD, (including its list of PostRenderedActors) and creates a new one. Your part is working, it just gets dumped when I reset the HUD. Since I am already subclassing UTPlayerController, I will add some additional checking to prevent the HUD from being reset when it does not need too. This should fix the issue. (and hopefully won't break the fix for the earlier problem )

I have seen it (did not download it tho, no point too when I have my own ) I knew when Epic did not make one that several people would try to. It is good in a way, because it demonstrates how popular the gametype is. Even for UT2K4 people made several versions of invasion with many different mutators for it. I made mine because I wanted a challenge that would help me learn the new game engine and because there were a number of people asking for one. I am sure he has his reasons for making his own and wish him the best for it.

I will finish the build for version 006 (including the fix listed above), then run some final tests. I should have it up in a couple hours.

Tried it out, works great!

possible addition, didn't the original have teamscore, or was that something else I'm thinking?

I'm sure it's on your list, but after you win all, it says "red team wins" instead of something more suiting to invasion.

With my drawing on top of the hud thing, it works now with this (the way that only works on reg games is commented out:

                ForEach PC.AllActors(class'UTHUD',aHUD)
                {
                    aHUD.AddPostRenderedActor(myCustomPostRenderActor);
                }
//                UTHUD(PC.MyHUD).AddPostRenderedActor(myCustomPostRenderActor);

Keep up the good work, I'm sticking with this version of UT3 invasion

if you get bored, you can try your mod w/ the "toys" I've added on.

has the location of a test server at the top.

[GUPraeToriaN]

oh yeah just for the sake of asking, is there any way to put the translocator in?

[LauZaIM]

How do you delete the old gametype selection. I have 2 Galtanor Invasion's in the gametype selection screen.

[Downfall[AT]]

so far still great

[BuffyTheSlayer]

yay new version is out !

thank you !!!

Sorry to hear it is sill not working. This catches my eye for some reason... are you running any mutators?
If not, I may have to build a special version with at ton of debug output to see where its crashing

I originally had the team scoreboard up because I am subclassing the UTTeamGame, but when I created my own scoreboard, I did not put the team score on... if its something you want, I can look at adding it on.
Yes, getting rid of the "you are on red" and "red team is the winner" is something I still am working on. I have a friend who is going to make new voice clips, but it might take him a little while.
Glad you got your mutator working, I just hope it does not break the other issue I had I will have to check it out.

oh yeah just for the sake of asking, is there any way to put the translocator in?

Yes, now you can enable the translocator or the hoverboard. Open the UTGaltanorsInvasion006.ini file, find the [GaltanorsInvasion006.GaltanorsInvasion] section, and set bInvasionTranslocator=true.

How do you delete the old gametype selection. I have 2 Galtanor Invasion's in the gametype selection screen.

To delete the old version, you will need to delete the old UTGaltanorsInvasion from the config folder and the GaltanorsInvasion.u from the script folder. You can also delete the GaltanorsInvasionTextures.upk from the textures folder, but its not going to hurt anything to leave it there.

[bushbomb]

Bug to fix:
Playing a ctf map, after starting the server, the minimap shows and has a black background with a grey grid.

Game ends, start another game, voting for the same CTF map, this time when it loads, the minimap black/grey part is gone and the middle is transparent. Still shows all the dots correctly.

Either way works for me, just caught me off guard. It almost seemed nice with some transparency so I didn't have as much of a blind spot.

This didn't work. I removed all traces of anything that said Invasion or Galtanors or both and I STILL have Galtanors Invasion as a gametype. I'm not impressed with the new UT filestructure.

EDIT: Ay, I got it. Apparently there is 2 different locations for the same thing. One under program files, the other in Documents/My Games. No idea why it would be like this..
