Hovels Mod

This is a post from a few days back in the GBA devs section, It isn't doing much there so im moving here. Tue Oct 05, 2010 8:03 am

I'm going to try edit the Game.qmv from KorX and compile it on a spare computer which I'm either going to have Ubuntu or Debian installed.

I will also scour the web for quake three models I can use and convert. It is going to be based of KorX and try get the bugs fixed by looking at the KorX bugtracker.

I shall hopefully start it tonight. There shall be updates every couple of days also.

If i get this customizable gear for humans to work, do you want to add it to your mod?
I don't really feel like doing a whole new mod just for one thing.

Good luck dude.
Methinks this mod will be awesome.

When you say work in progress, does that mean partly coded or something you want to do? If it's the former, "HOLY FUCK I CAN'T WAIT! GOOD JOB!", but if it's the latter, did you hear about how much of a bitch it was to make the Xael and Spitfire?

When it has got that on, it means I have actually started to work on it. All the ideas on there I am going to try to complete.

Most of that was making the new models and texturing so I've cut out about 4/5ths of that by getting the models from elsewhere

P.s. Can someone please help me to compile a game.qmv? I have everything I need (A spare computer with Ubuntu Installed)

I never said it was a work in progress.
But I'm pretty sure I know what i have to do.
The only thing i am sure that i am not sure of is the .qvm. Anyone know how to compile that in windows xP?

I'm pretty sure all i need to do is create several files with the same helmet model, color it for custom-ation, and then code it in the qvm to let tremulous do the rest. Am i right?

I know you can get a pack, But thats for a normal game.qmv not the KorX one...

GLAM GET IN HERE AND HELP US DO .QVM PLEASE!!!!

what is a qmv?

Lawly wrote:what is a qmv?

It's a set of Information and instuctions for the tremulous client to work on, It gives info like...

• Weapons
  
• Buildables
  
• Shot speed
  
• What happens after you snipe
  
• And the teams..
  
• And alot of other stuff
  

Basically it is everything, without it a server wouldn't be able to function

Hmmph, never telling you any of my ideas again...taunt of giggity, and I bagged a noob as main music...Hmmph

OH HOLY SHIT I GOTTA SEE SEEEK'S MD!

It's the same one as on the Z server and our KorX one

Taunt of giggity wasn't your idea, I told you that...

And if you want I'll find something else for the main music :l

Edit: I didn't know, I wasn't paying attention.

I still think "Derp, Derp, Giggity" Would be the best taunt ever...

Beans, maybe find a way to cycle the music so that it chooses a different one on random when you open it?

|Acid| iShadow wrote:Beans, maybe find a way to cycle the music so that it chooses a different one on random when you open it?

A. I don't think thats possible
B. The filesize would skyrocket
C. It would require alot of time (which I don't have anymore)

I don't know if this helps you or not hovel, but i found this program that will take all the programs and make it easier to read.
It's called notepad++
Link: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
So far, it takes qvm, dat files, and more. In fact, pretty much everything other than the pk3's.
Also, i might need a little help with the helmets. I'm not really sure where to put them. 0.0

I've already got it, I thought you did too. I had a microsoft program before that. and I dunno where the helmets are, I need Daylights Chainret before I attempt anything else.

I'd never heard of it before i googled how to compile a qvm on windows xp. -.-
Anyways, all i need is the location for where they keep the list of weapons in korx. I found it in normal trem, but i can't seem to find it in the korx files.
Today was quite insightful.

look for a makefile, then open up terminal and "cd" to the directory the makefile is in.

then type "make".

there is a good tutorial by camper on how to do it on the knightsofreason forums.

Thats all the information I need thanks!

I'll try spit out a game.qmv later and If I get that I'm able to change everything

hope all goes well

its "game.qvm" not "qmv".
qvm is a quake virtual machine, while qmv would be..... qwerquey machine v-tornado or something...lol

A few things:

• I've given up now because i cannot get it to work.
  
• But i'll keep a steady stream of simple ideas if you like.
  
• I don't think that i will be doing any modding for a little while.

I hope your mod goes well. Good luck beansie.
