This is like telling someone not to breathe. Hehe, I joined the "pick on JM" bandwagen, woo!
The jkSetSaberInfo could also be placed in the startup message with a short Sleep in front of it.

Ah yes, but thats the way LEC did it(I just used theirs as an example)

Wait, that was LEC code? Why did you post this? :confused:
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

No its not, I made it from scratch.

I just used theirs as an example, as stated earlier.
I did no copying annd pasting or editing of any cog, it's all done from scratch.
Thats why mine is the way it is.

^Newer version^

BTW I've only been cogging for a week so yes im a n00b.

Now paste the code into item_wrench.cog or some other existing sp cog that works in mp, and have Compos Mentis or Quib_Mask help you in making it pass checksum.

I'll make it pass checksum if you want, but I don't see why you would want to.
2005-09-04, 4:36 AM #10
Hmm, you're right, doesn't make sense, since custom templates/textures wouldn't pass checksum anyway...
Oh well, but you could run around with a dflt textured lightsaber that explodes on impact.

Actually, I'm confused. What is a custom template for saber? Like custom wall, blood, and saber templates for the last three params of jkSetSaberInfo() ?

I can see how you would want to change your saber texture ingame, which is easily enough done, but template, that seems pointless.

Adding to my confusion I don't understand how a cog like this would work in a startup message...

Hehe I'm just one confused guy!

Well, you can "hardcode" the desired textures and templates (in the symbols section), then launch the game. No big deal. Nothing to get confused about (it's probably the simplicity that got you confused).

You can change the size of the saber, like make it 3 feet long or 3 feet thick.

Custom templates and materials do pass checksum; the limitation on templates is usually you can't use class COGs on your custom templates, and they won't sync up (both because the other player wouldn't have the templates and because static.jkl templates simply don't sync in the first place). With materials, you'll see them, other players will see dflt.mat.

I wonder if default explosion templates applied to the lightsaber sync up over MP or if you'd only experience them client-side.

Unfortunately there's not enough free code in any of the key item COGs to implement this code; you'd have to modify one of the meatier COGs to get this to work.

I think the idea is so your customization would be applied every time you played, without having to activate anything.

I just did that for, well someone might want to change the templates.

I'll see what I can do for mp, but...
2005-09-05, 6:58 PM #16
Ok, being my lazy self I did not test the newer version. It does not work! The one with the Timer message does but not the sleep one.
[EDIT]Slap me I didn't put in a code section
2005-09-05, 7:53 PM #17
Whoa I was messing around and created a crazy hack with jkSetSaberInfo();
set the templates to something like +sequancer_exp
Just put it in a sp cog that works for mp
