Metamod: Lerks Can Carry Gorges Around

JRock · February 2003

I'm sure this cute add-on will find its uses but a more pressing metamod that would be enjoyed by all would be adding the ability for Lerks to perch on ceilings (upsidedown view when you do that) and walls.
If only someone could code that...

bah, screw that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

but in the meantime I finally figured out how to edit marine resources, so expect *something* that uses that in the near future (a week or two max)

Them, pwetty pwease add Skulk-lifting and item-lifting as well before working on something new?

[WHO]Them · February 2003

hmmm, I'll try to work it in, but any other coder out there is free to take my source and add said changes if they want to in the meantime.

Eternal_Bliss · February 2003

fist attachment is the first version, second one is the updated..

lyndak · February 2003

in the first post: "Edit: new version attached (31 downloads on the old one..... w00t!)"

Grimm_Spector · February 2003

Great idea, as always dude, but I think this will modify the game a little too much....plus then you'll have gorges building in normally ungorgeable places, like the side walls of Forebodying Antechamber....which I did by skulking over...but still <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

ok, brace yourselves, noob question incomming... I just got my own server so I'm new at this stuff, how do I install this metamod plugin? I put the .so file in the dlls directory, but I'm guessing there's more to it.

Open plugins.ini in the addons\metamod directory
and make sure it's referenced in there properly, use the other ones in there as a reference, I'm guessing that the only one in there right now is adminmod...make sure you put adminmod <b>AFTER</b> any other plugin you add, to ensure it runs properly.

The same thing happends when you get stuck. I've had this happen to me while being gorge and fade. When i try to get through a door that is built up with OCs and DCs, and i get stuck, my adrenaline doesn't recharge.

So maybe this isn't a bug in your plugin code, but in the game code itself...

[WHO]Them · February 2003

oh I'm very aware that it's the game code. I'm just trying to figure out a good way around it without doing a stupid hack

Rattrap · February 2003

ok i must really suck or something, cause I still can't get it to work. I put lerklift_mm_i386.so in the dlls folder and added this line to plugins.ini "linux addons/metamod/dlls/lerklift_mm_i386.so" and still it doesn't work. any help would be much appreciated.

lerklift_mm_i386.so should be in your hlds_l/ns/dlls folder
"linux dll/lerklift_mm_i386.so" should be in addons/metamod/plugins.ini

So it just looks like you have to fix your plugin.ini line.

ok sorry for buggin you so much, thanks for all the help so far. I made sure all of the paths were correct and that the file was uploaded the correct location. everything is where it should be so I did a "meta list" in console. It said that lerklift was not running. It's state was "badfile" and its pending action was "load". I've tried absolutely everything. Maybe I just have a corrupt file or something. Can anyone confirm that this works on a linux server? thanks for much for all the help.

Basic Must-Do's to add MetaMod Plugins

1) File must be: ns/addons/metamod/dlls/metamodfile_here.dll/so
2) File must be listed in ns/addons/metamod/plugins.ini to be loaded on server startup.
To load is manually use: meta load ns/addons/metamod/dlls/metamodfile_here.dll/so

murta · February 2003

You probably alread knew this, but that bug you experienced in Cargo on ns_tanith (outside Fusion Reactor) occurs if somebody gestates on top of that grate, so I doubt there's anything you can do about that.
I think to fix the adrenaline problem, you need to lower the co-ordinates that the gorges is 'held' at, otherwise it's stuck inside the model and can't regenerate energy

[WHO]Them · February 2003

well that was one of my first thoughts, but I would have to lower it by such an amount that the code could suddenly be used to easily drop gorges through floors or be used as spies. And overall it would ruin the visual effect if I were to pick any other direction as well.

I've been becoming so busy lately that I doubt I'll be able to make this plugin much better before the next version of NS comes out. And if the rumors I heard are true, lerks will have something similar to this carrying in it which would obviously be much more polished.

make sure that you've typed everything in the same case as the file name displays on the linux box, otherwise it will not load, for example if the M's are uppercase, and you go blahplugin_mm_i386.so it won't work, because you didn't do uppercase M's...adminmod wouldn't load once because of this.

Ppl are asking me where to get LerkLift.. Just bringing this post to first page on forum.
