June 2002 - Questions

#1 just been reading the june newsletter and i think i found a little bug:
in the Q&A-section it reads:

Guest, Stefan Moises responds: add the below into the createPlayer function in example/common/client/scripts/default.bind.cs

i couldn't find the createPlayer in example/common/client/scripts/default.bind.cs, (to be honest i couldn't even find /example/common/client/scripts/default.bind.cs) ;)

the file should be /example/fps/server/scripts/game.cs !!!

approved by stefan "beffy" moises.

#2 Ah yes, I think that was accidentally left in after a cut and paste mishap.

We'll get that fixed tomarrow. Thanks for the heads up!

#3 Hey Matt, if you're going to change it, please add the (better) code Tim Gift provided later on in that thread
(which does basically the same, but it doesn't create the weapon and ammo objects, so there is no overhead involved...):

%player.incInventory(Rifle,1); 
   %player.incInventory(RifleAmmo,RifleAmmo.maxInventory); 
   %player.use(Rifle);

or, if someone uses Tim's Inventory Manager, it should read:

%player.incInvItem(Rifle,1);
   %player.incInvItem(RifleAmmo,RifleAmmo.maxInventory);
   %player.use(Rifle);

Thanks!

#4 Stefan, I've looked and I can't find Tim Gift's Inventory Manager - do you have a pointer ?

#5 Oh, sorry, it's Tim Newell, you can find the three parts of his tutorial with this search.
Great stuff, here's a screenshot of our early implementation (will change later on...)

#6 Ok, Stefan - thanks. I know about Spock's stuff. From reading a few of your replies elsewhere I mis-formed the idea that Tim Gift had done one as a resource as well. Dorfy-doo...

#7 Sorry about that, I was kinda confused by all these Tims around here... ;-)
