1. open a folder
2. Tools
3. Folder Options
4. View
5. uncheck Hide extantions for known file types.

-go back to that text file

now it's named whatever.txt, rename that to autoexec.cfg

whatever.txt >> autoexec.cfg

make sure the script is in there (and writen right), stick the autoexec.cfg in your Base folder

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base (by default)

hope that helps :)

You're a freakin genius. Thanks a million.:D

not a big deal, glad I could be of some help :)

::this script has been made by Sith Maximus, I only modified it to look right in the console, with the right colors and all)::

Here's my one and only comment on the script thing: thanks for posting it, it was interesting and should be fun to play around with. I don't use scripts in games cos I like the manual dexterity aspect of winning...old school Samurai Showdown :) But to be honest, I don't have problems with scripters...u can still avoid a move regardless if it's scripted or not. I never let one of those multiple backspins in 1.03 kill me and I would stop playing if I couldn't pull off a kick against some one just cos I had to tap twice. In fact, I don't see what the big fuss is...I've never seen a scripter dominate any server, and I've been playing since JK2 first came out. JK2 duels are about timing and dexterity...not just run and gun...so I wouldn't worry bout a little scripting, fellas. It's all in good fun. :)

Reptile Iron
Iron Brigade Iron Jedis

I second that SUPERLEN.

as you can see, it's mostly fun scrits here, this is like my favorite thread in the whole Lucasarts forums :)

Superlen,

Scripters, a skillful scripter, will dominate a server easily. Seen it done plenty of times. Don't flame remark.

Thanks for making the changes. I have so many files that I can not find the right ones sometimes. I took care of those changes but forgot to move it to my "finished" folder. Plus helping each other out is what this is all about so if something is wrong, or could be done another way we should sound out and let everyone know. By putting all of our heads togeather we can come up with much better and cleaner scripts, thanks again!

set player "vstr p-3"

it doesn't work right :( can one of you please help ?!?!



NOt sure is the reborn/forceuser a "mod" skin. The only standard reborn from the game are the ones listed below:

model reborn/boss
model reborn/fencer
model reborn/acrobat
model reborn/blue
model reborn/red
model reborn/default

With that in mind this is how I would do it:
//Name and model
set p-1 "vstr n-1; model (your model here) ; set color1 (saber color here); set name-model vstr p-2"
set p-2 "vstr n-2; model (your model here) ; set color1 (saber color here); set name-model vstr p-3"
set p-3 "vstr n-3; model (your model here) ; set color1 (saber color here); set name-model vstr p-4"
set p-4 "vstr n-4; model (your model here) ; set color1 (saber color here); set name-model vstr p-1"
set name-model "vstr p-1"
bind (your key here) "vstr name-model"

set n-1 "name (first name here)"
set n-2 "name (second name here)"
set n-3 "name (third name here)"
set n-4 "name (forth name here)"

Just fill in the blanks.

Boy this is one long thread. :)
Not sure if this was answered already, but I'm wondering if there is a way to make specific taunts.
I assuming the taunt is based on model type since the taunt is different depending on model I have chosen for my player.
I'm wondering if there's a way to have different taunts without changing player models?

If not is there a way to change player model, make a taunt, and swap back to origional player model without having to kill yourself?

yes, I know how to bind it to one key but what I was asking is how to bind

F1 to name1, saber color1, model1...press the same button and it'll go name2, saber color2, model2

AND

F2 to name3, saber color3, model3...press F2 again and it'll go name4, saber color4, model4

I think you get how I put a number next to each, it's what I want, like name1 would be "remark", saber color1 would be red color saber, model1 would be reborn/acrobat, etc..

and yes, reborn/forceuser IS another secret skin, it's abused less then /boss and /acrobat ;)

This will work. Not sure what the "vstr t" commands are for, add them back in after the saber color if you need to. The reason it would not work is because you had both named to "vstr player" So that will casue the problem everytime. You must give every seperate script its own name so that the program can see them as different commands. One command was canceling the other out. By the way I got your message and will get back to you asap.


//Player select 1
set p-1 "set name ^7the^5F^7ive^5S^7tar; model reborn/acrobat; color1 0; set player-1 vstr p-2"
set p-2 "set name ^8.BlackSunOverMidland.; model reborn/fencer; color1 3; set player-1 vstr p-1"
set player-1 "vstr p-1"
bind F1 "vstr player-1"

//Player select 2
set p-3 "set name ^3.the golden fighter.; model reborn/forceuser; color1 2; set player-2 vstr p-4"
set p-4 "set name ^7[^1fatal^7.^3switch^7]; model reborn/boss; color1 1; set player-2 vstr p-3"
set player-2 "vstr p-3"
bind F2 "vstr player-2"

hahaha, thanks sooo much, Ill try it now

P.S. my game play is so much better now, the edited CTF script, names, taunts, breakdance, flip saber (guns servers), spin, etc and so on, it's soooo much more interesting now, with a switch of a key I'm a whole different person, new name, model, saber color, heh

what's next ? maybe setting up force powers ^_^

EDIT: worked, here is how I have my (with a little bit of editing)

//Player select 1
set p-1 "set name ^7the^5F^7ive^5S^7tar; model reborn/acrobat; color1 0; set player-1 vstr p-2"
set p-2 "set name ^8.BlackSunOverMidland.; model reborn/fencer; color1 3; set player-1 vstr p-1"
set player-1 "vstr p-1"
bind F1 "vstr player-1"

//Player select 2
set p-3 "set name ^3.the golden fighter.; model reborn/forceuser; color1 2; set player-2 vstr p-4"
set p-4 "set name ^7[^1fatal^7.^3switch^7]; model reborn/boss; color1 1; set player-2 vstr p-3"
set player-2 "vstr p-3"
bind F2 "vstr player-2"

//Player select 3
set p-5 "set name ^1|:|^5R^7e^5M^7a^5R^7k^1|:|; model reborn/red; color1 0; set player-3 vstr p-6"
set p-6 "set name ^7the^5F^7ive^5S^7tar; model reborn/blue; color1 4; set player-3 vstr p-5"
set player-3 "vstr p-5"
bind F3 "vstr player-3"

You asked for it you got it! The numbers for the forcepowers come from your saved force configurations. This script changes your force powers, model, and saber color. You can edit this in with your other scripts to change your force powers, skin, saber, and model when you die. The numbers are under your base directory. Open them with notepad and copy them into the place that says (PUT NUMBERS HERE). If you just want your powers changed next time then just do a script for that. But you must have at least this much to make it work:

set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); forcechanged

You can figure it out from there.;)

//Power selector
set p-1 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^1DARK ^6JEDI ^6MASTER ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model reborn_master/default; set color1 5; bind DEL vstr powers"
set p-2 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^1DARK ^6JEDI ^6KNIGHT ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model reborn_master/default; set color1 5; bind DEL vstr powers"
set p-3 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^1DARK ^6JEDI ^6GUARDIAN ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model reborn_master/default; set color1 5; bind DEL vstr powers"
set p-4 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^4LIGHT ^6JEDI ^6MASTER ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model luke/default; set color1 3; bind DEL vstr powers"
set p-5 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^4LIGHT ^6JEDI ^6KNIGHT ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model luke/default; set color1 3; bind DEL vstr powers"
set p-6 "set forcepowers (PUT NUMBERS HERE); echo [^4LIGHT ^6JEDI ^6GUARDIAN ^6POWERS^7]; forcechanged; model luke/default; set color1 3; bind DEL vstr powers"
set powers "vstr p-1"
bind DEL "vstr powers"

you have a PM ;)

I've also seen a script that lets you get around the cheats off option, it turns them on only for you and lets you shoot like hundreds of rockets really really fast (that's done with cg_yawspeed_fire 1000 and cg_rapid_fire 600 I think) this would be usefull but an ultimate cheat, shame on scripters who use their powers for evil :p

If not is there a way to change player model, make a taunt, and swap back to origional player model without having to kill yourself?

This has been working for me:

//Taunt by other models binds
bind kp_slash "model lando;wait 30;+taunt;-taunt;model stormtrooper/red"
bind kp_star "model kyle;wait 30;+taunt;-taunt;model stormtrooper/red"
bind kp_minus "model chiss;wait 30;+taunt;-taunt;model stormtrooper/red"
bind kp_plus "model vader;wait 30;+taunt;-taunt;model stormtrooper/red"

You'll want to customize your own models and play a bit with the wait, but I found that 30 is best for me. Once it's made the model switch once, it does so faster next time around. I wouldn't use one of these taunts in the "heat of battle" otherwise you'll get sliced and diced during the wait of the first switch. You can get away with it (usually) after the first model switch.

This was posted somewhere in this thread (I think), but you're right: this is one LONG thread

BTW... can someone remind me which Kyle model it is that says "Just Takin' Care of Business."?

SkinWalker

i dunno if this has been mentioned it this thread b4 coz i can't be bothered to surf all 10 pages of posts and replies. Heres my question is there a way to make ur character turn 180 degrees with a press of a button?

bind x "+right; wait 10; -right"

change the number of wait in the middle cuz i made that up just then

does that make a 180 degree turn right away or do i have to hold it and turn manually? coz i am finding one that would turn 180 degrees right away in one press w/o holding the button

Just press the button one time. You have to adjust the wait states in the middle to make up for the changes with your system. For me I think it is "wait 4", but on my brothers machine it is like 12. Just mess with it until you get your turn. It may not be perfect everytime, but it will be close.

Thanks SkinWalker :D


BTW... can someone remind me which Kyle model it is that says "Just Takin' Care of Business."?

I know the Red Kyle say's that, do the models say different things based on color? :confused:

This might be a weird place to ask this, but I have a lot of binds for Jedimod, combos, etc. in my autoexec.cfg, and when I play SP, whenever I go to the console and type a letter of any key that is bound (while still in console), it starts doing the action associated w/ that bind. This is very strange, and I wasn't sure if anyone else ran into this, or knew how to fix it. Is there a way to make it so that autoexec.cfg only runs for MP? Thanks :)

I know the Red Kyle say's that, do the models say different things based on color?

It turns out that the model I'm using in the example I posted for you says that..... I only just tried that switch last night :-)


SKin

hi i know this is wrong section to be asking this question but noone else seems to know the answer. as u can see from my subject, i want to know how to make my NAME BLACK! i know how to make name any other color via ^1 etc etc. i can even get black colored TEXT via ^0 but when i try
name ^0JohnDoe in console it becomes WHITE after i enter it! i seen people with black letters and they refused to tell me how to do it saying it is a TK clan secret! i say down with this secret and maybe you scripters know how to do since your all so smart. thx for the scripts i luv them!

dont put all the binds in the autoexec.cfg... have other cfgs so that you can exec those cfgs with keys in autoexec....but its strange in that jedimod binds should not affect the sp and mp game binds as it has its own folder....strange



i thought ^7 was black but i could be wrong...

[i]"make my NAME BLACK!" [/B]

Sorry but the game engine does not allow for black in names, it always switches them to white. This is because in a dark map you cannot see the name. Sorry but your sol on that request.

Right your are! I use the autoexec.cfg to load my other cfg files. Currently I use one for my player, one for scripts, one for my command controls, one for communication, one for system, and another for my ctf text script. All of my mods have cfg files in the mod folders that I load when I eneter that mod. Like the one for jedimod is jmod.cfg. Its the only way to go.:D

Hey all. I actually took the time to read through all of the pages in this thread (now I think it's time for a nap...), and I don't recall seeing this question before.
I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to switch Force powers in game without having to kill yourself and respawn.
Example: I usually set my Seeing to max power, but I want to be able to hit a button and toggle over to a configuration that puts all those force points over to Absorb (for when I find myself in the middle of a mele).
If there's anyone out there that could give me a hand, I'd appreciate it!! :cool:

no, actually i do have the 1.04 patch and stil the person had a black NAME!! the first part was green and red while middle was BLACK! there must be a way to get black name because either the guy hacked the server or hes some kinda guru who knows everything about JO..................:jawa

I think you'll have to kill yourself and respawn. As far as I've been able to discern, there's no way to make the new force powers go into effect until the next spawn.

The good news is that there were several posts in this thread on force settings.

BTW, if I'm wrong on this, someone PLEASE correct me. But the respawn makes sense... I'm sure it has to do with the player config being initiated.

SKinWalker

i've also seen a black name, not untill I wanted one I cared, now I want one (.BlackSunOverMidland.) and I see it black in the menu but ingame it's white, I'm 100% sure I've seen a black name

there must be some way to make it black, medetate on this I will... (even though that won't help anything, hehe)

perhaps you see white, they see black?

I've asked, on my name they see white too, I've tried ^8 and ^0....mabe there is some number that's secret and actually does make it black....hmm.....

You MUST die first! No other way. What you could do is use one of the force change scripts above and add in the kill command at the start of it. That might work...I have not tried that, I just wait until I die.

i shall heaven and earth asunder till fid out how to make my name black! i' glad someone else finally saw a black named person...u prolly saw a TK.....some scripter in here must KNOW! these guys are so smart!

Hey, thanks guys...unfortunately, it wasn't the answer I was hoping for.
I'd hate having to put a -1 in my kill total. (although it would be a hell of a lot better than falling off the edge of a map because of f*ing LAG!)
:swear:

I've found this thread to be incredibly informative - keep it up! :D

MakaVeli_Da_DoN, I can't figure out why you'd want your name to appear in black. When I play, my screen resolution is maxed out and I can barely read the messages or names when they're in white! If they're blue , forget it. I can only imagine how poor black would look (especially on a dark map).

We will work on it for you. I personally have never seen it but will give it a shot as I pop on and off my server tonight. Get back to you on Friday.:D But do not get your hopes too high...........:nut:

Heh yeah we're smart.

:joy: :laughing: :newbie: :nut: :naughty: :cheers:

Nuff said!

any progress on the scripts in your PM, Maximus ? no hurry, just wondering

and Hand_Solo, it's not for you that we want the black font, it's for us to feel better about our name and to have our names the way WE want them ;)

"maybe I should do that **** so J can get payed" - ICP : "Terrible"

Try to post by tomorrow.......been setting up my server this week!

hey i'm looking for a script that 1 change my name 2 change my model and 3 change my model when i klick on one buttom...

i have tried with "bind i name ^1[JHQ]^5Master_Duchai;; bind i model jedi;; bind i model reborn" with no luck :-\

and do anyone in here know how to change the saber color with the TCK Color Mod?? (the one thats with the jedimod)

This changes your name, tck saber color, model and the hilts that you use. Just replace the names and so forth. The default bound key is INSERT (INS) but you can change that to the one you want.
The numbers for the tck are the same numbers from the slider bar. tck_red1 would be the red value of saber no 1 and tck_red2 is the red value of saber no 2. You get the idea.....enjoy!:D

Thx Just what i was looking for :D i'll just copy them into the Autothing.cfg file right?

I understand where you're coming from... I play MP using a Boba Fett or Darth Vader skin, but unless an opponent has the same skin in their base folder, they can't see it......
Just throwing my 2 cents in there.
Tell you what...if I figure out how to change the font to black, I'll be the first guy to post it here!:D

DAMN can't get it to work...
wrote this in the autoexec.cfg file in the mod folder (then it should load it automatically right?) and btw the CS is my bro's clan... i wan't so that the JHQ is on the "i" key and the CS is on the "o" key... so can anyone tell me what i have done wrong??

set hilts-1 "set hilt Anakinep2; set hilt2 anakin"
set hilts-2 "set hilt Anakinep2; set hilt2 ancient"

Burner:

Let's see...
* most aliases are called xxxxx-1 but dinsult1 and yinsult1 are not. Is this correct?

* name-3 is used both in JHQ and CS section.

* the last hilt alias is hilt-3 not hilts-3.

* I don't think the "vstr name-1" command is executed in the
"set my-name" setting.

donno don't know very much about scripting.... but at least i can see where your going with the name-3 and hilt-3(or the other numbers) all i did was copy Sith Maximus' and edited it...

Ok, right off the bat, that's about the funniest thing I've heard all week. Mind if I use that?

JaraDaj: Are you a programmer by any chance? If not, you should really consider a career in Application Develoment (That's what I do), you seem to have a talent for it.

Scripting for the Quake 3 engine (JK2 is based on the Quake 3 engine and 99% of the scripts written for Quake 3 will work in JK2) is a lot like programming.

For all those who have flamed in this thread: Get over it man. Whether it's cheating or not, whether it's unfair or not, it's not going away......ever.

I'm an application developer, which means that I write the code behind programs such as media players, word processors, and video games. Lemme break it down for ya. When JK2 starts up, it reads in all the QVM files (Quake Virtual Machine). In these files are the building blocks of the game (basically the mathematical operations performed by the computer that are then translated into what you see on the screen). Then comes the audio/visual stuff: models, images, .wav files (actually JK2 utilizes MP3 sound files). After this is done, the final step is to load the configuration files (cfg). These configuration files tell the game engine which keys should perform what actions and how the graphics, audio, and other environment settings are configured on the local machine. So, you see, without the configuration files, it would be impossible to play the game because no keyboard buttons would actually do anything.

"So", you say, "Why not just 'hard code' the button configurations into the game engine itself and do away with the ability to change the default button settings all together?"

That's a good question, here's why Raven will never do it:

It would require a complete retooling of the original source code. They would have to replace certain variable names, whose values are read in from the configuration files, to their literal counterparts. We're talking about a major change-up of several thousand lines of code. Then you have to remember that the keys on a standard keyboard in America are not represented by the same characters on a standard keyboard in any other non-english speaking country. This means that Raven now has to not only re-work the code, but has to re-work the code for every single language in the world. You starting to see why this just isn't cost effective? We coders aren't cheap you know.

Ok, I'll get down off my soap box now.

I wanted to let everyone pertinent to this thread know that there are several VERY high quality tutorials on the Web for writing these things. If you'd like to learn more about how it's done, you can start by going to http://www.planetquake.com/thebind/)

This site is written for binding in Quake 3, but for the most part it works the same in JK2.

Here are a few of my own scripts (excuse the comments in a few of em, I sometimes tend to get a little comment happy):


// When you press the bound key you crouch, press again to stand up
set crouch1 "+movedown; echo Crouching...; set crouch vstr crouch2"
set crouch2 "-movedown; echo Standing...; set crouch vstr crouch1"

set crouch "vstr crouch1"

bind c "vstr crouch"

// When you press the bound key you run, press again to walk (you have to disable the always run feature or the messages will display backwards)
set run1 "+speed; echo Running...; set run vstr run2"
set run2 "-speed; echo Walking...; set run vstr run1"

set run "vstr run1"

bind shift "vstr run"

// Press the bound key to start recording a demo, again to stop
// Record up to 80 demos in a session before they start to overwrite

// ******************************

// Installation:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Place this code into a Notepad text file.
// Save the file with any filename you wish.
// Edit the file's ".txt" extension to ".cfg"
// copy the file into your "Quake III Arena\baseq3" folder
// (this folder is usually found at "driveletter:Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3")
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Usage:
// ---------------------------------------------------
// While playing Quake 3: Arena
// Load the config (cfg) file: /exec ConfigName
// ---------------------------------------------------

// Begin code

// demo(01 - 80) are basically variables with specific commands attached to each.
// The commands attached to the demo(01 - 80) alternate the recording process.
// The first time the bound key is pressed, demo1 is triggered.
//
// demo1:
// Turns on Synchronous Client mode
// Begins recording of a demo with the filename "demo0001"
// Turns off Synchronous Client mode
// Binds the key (whichever key was bound to demo) to demo2
//
// demo2:
// Stops the recording of current demo
// Binds the key (whichever key was bound to demo) to demo3
//
// The cycle continues up to 40 demos and starts over (this will record over previous demos).

Keep up the good work, I'm working on a comprehensive explanation of how scripts work and a few good scripting habits. I'll post it here when I finish it.
