I was thinking more of a Alien Swarm or Unreal Tournament campaign.
A set of missions that you go through from first to last. Every mission is a certain game mode with certain settings.
Every mission starts with some kind of little backstory like "you have to escape from here to there" and the level for that mission is randomly generated.

It's more simple BUT, it will (make it easier for me to) allow players to mod their own campaigns AND SHARE THEM.

This weeks devlog and public test build are available right now at http://xiphias.org
Enjoy.

Ok, so.
I made a Glock. I loaded it up in the game and all, it says 'queuing glock' or whatever, how do I get it in-game?
I tried spawnweapon = glock, but it won't appear. It also never showed the loading thingy in the console, it said the glock was queued but never actually loaded.
So, uh? What do I do?

Looks good at the minute.
One qualm: In Windowed mode, the cursor is free to leave the window, meaning I lost focus of the window often.

To get a mod working you need several things.
1. loadMod = "mod folder" in mods.ini (seems to be working)
2. loadWeapon = "weapon name" (seems to be missing)
3. "mod folder"/Weapons/"weapon name"/weaponname.ini with stats in it, see any other weapon for reference

If all of those are in place, please, upload your mod so I can have a look at it.
Many thanks.



I'm not 100 certain how to fix that but I'll make sure to look into it.

Just the mod please, not the whole game. I've got really shitty internet and it would take me ages to download that.

I gave you the modData folder man.

God damn! I'm sorry I just realized how big it actually is.

EDIT: Ah, it's the music that's so big. I'll make sure to move it somewhere else in the next build.

Ofcorse I just have lots of other things that have to be done before they can move.
I could make them always follow you and bump into each other without any AI for now, if that would make you happy.

Here's the fixed version of your mod.
You need to have an 'index' .ini file in your mod, named like your mod, containing all the content of your mod.
In your case, you were missing Glock.ini that said loadWeapon = Glock

It's not difficult, I could do that.

EDIT: Damn, I always forget that posts don't merge on this forum. I'm sorry for spamming.

Thanks. It loads now, but how do I spawn it in?
spawnweapon = glock isn't working.

My game is very snobby about values, if it's supposed to be a decimal then it wont accept a comma and vice versa.
I'll try to fix it in the next version but for now.
Here's the REALLY working version. You just have to fix the transparency on your sprite.


Also, it's spawnWeapon (or sW) not spawnweapon. Capitalizing matters.

Nothing special since I mostly worked on engine stuff and not content.
