KillCam and PRM 2.0

[Parrot]

Kill Cam is not working in S & D and Ret gametype modes, but it does work in TDM mode.

I saw a previous thread from Cobra where the kill cam wasn't working at all, but this is slightly different. I'll paste the pertinent info from my server.cfg file.

set sv_mapRotationCurrentmap "mp_brecourt "

I am also running Serverwatch server side monitor and messaging only right now, but wether I have Serverwatch on or off, it doesn't make a difference.

The strange thing is that it works for TDM- but not SD or RE

Thanks

I have the exact same problem, it worked until I disabled it and after that I could never get it to turn back on. It's not a big deal with me right now but if anyone knows where the problem lies please speak up THX :smile:

PS I have tried making the cvar change thru console also but no luck.

[Parrot]

I thought I found something, but I guess I was wrong.

KillCam still isn't working.

[Sitting_Duck]

I myself haven't opened the guts of PRM, but I would think maybe its in the realism scripting that you need to edit it. I'm sorry I don't have the right answer for you, but then again 3.0 should be out soon and hopefully it will adress the issue you are having.

[Parrot]

Well, I think I did find the reason why the MP40 runs the reload animation even when the weapon is full. The magazine load has been changed to only 28 rounds, versus the standard magazine load of 32. Maybe??? dunno- I'm not any kind of major modder.

I'll just sit tight too and wait for 3.0.

nice work Poolmaster.

Below, I'll put into a quote what I thought was the reason. take a look at the difference between the TDM and the 2 other kill-cam scripts.


TDM.gsc file excerpt

attackerNum = -1;
if(isPlayer(attacker))
{
if(attacker == self) // killed himself
{
doKillcam = false;

attacker.score--;

if(isdefined(attacker.reflectdamage))
clientAnnouncement(attacker, &"MPSCRIPT_FRIENDLY_FIRE_WILL_NOT");
}
else
{
attackerNum = attacker getEntityNumber();
//doKillcam = true;

if(self.pers["team"] == attacker.pers["team"]) // killed by a friendly
attacker.score--;
else

BEL.gsc excerpt

attackerNum = -1;
level.playercam = attacker getEntityNumber();

if(isPlayer(attacker))
{
if(attacker == self) // killed himself
{
doKillcam = false;

attacker.pers["score"]--;
attacker.score = attacker.pers["score"];

if(isdefined(attacker.reflectdamage))
clientAnnouncement(attacker, &"MPSCRIPT_FRIENDLY_FIRE_WILL_NOT");
}
else
{
attackerNum = attacker getEntityNumber();
doKillcam = true;

if(self.pers["team"] == attacker.pers["team"]) // killed by a friendly
{
attacker.pers["score"]--;
attacker.score = attacker.pers["score"];
}
else


SD.gsc excerpt

attackerNum = -1;
level.playercam = attacker getEntityNumber();

if(isPlayer(attacker))
{
if(attacker == self) // killed himself
{
doKillcam = false;

attacker.pers["score"]--;
attacker.score = attacker.pers["score"];

if(isdefined(attacker.reflectdamage))
clientAnnouncement(attacker, &"MPSCRIPT_FRIENDLY_FIRE_WILL_NOT");
}
else
{
attackerNum = attacker getEntityNumber();
doKillcam = true;

if(self.pers["team"] == attacker.pers["team"]) // killed by a friendly
{
attacker.pers["score"]--;
attacker.score = attacker.pers["score"];
}
else


Notice the doKillcam = true is commented out on the TDM gametype- and it works in TDM... but in the SD and RE gametypes, it is not commented out- and the kill cam does not work.

Could this be the issue?

[Cobra]

add me to your msn,
chance54444@hotmail.com

And i will upload you my config file and you can see if it works then.

[Parrot]

Done. Thanks.

[imported_PoolMaster]

Hehehehehe :P

Your problem m8, is that you have a 0 instead of a 1 for the cvar. sv_nokillcam, no being the key part. 1 = yes, 0 = no, so a 1 = no killcam.

[Parrot]

hmm.. that is contrary to the directions that are in the setup, and it still doesn't explain why it works for TDM but not SD and RE game types.

[imported_PoolMaster]

-Other various cvars:
sv_healthpacks // 1 = drop health, 0 = no health packs dropped
sv_nokillcam // 1 = killcam disabled, 0 = killcam enabled
sv_noDropSniper // 1 = snipers not dropped, 0 = snipers dropped
sv_bleeding // 1 = bleeding on, 0 = bleeding off

Straigh from the ver 2.0 READ ME. If kill cam is'nt able to be disabled on SD and RE etc... gametypes... then I dunno, works for us, and everyone else, try a re-install, possibly something in your cfg... not really sure there m8 :?
