ControlPanel.txt (Version 1.7)

[clairebun]

What is this, you ask? It's a multisource text script used solely for the purpose of convenience in netgames. Technically, I just use it for myself, but since I'm already making it, I may as well show it to the public. This is currently used for:

-Switching characters in a mere second. (Also includes a "Sonic Heroes" script, for those using SRB2JTE. ;) )
-Saying commonly used messages (but too long to type) in CTF with the press of a button.
-Switching between third and first person view, as well as mouse aim.
-Analog Toggling (I doubt any of you would use this. )
-Already loaded bind-key snapshot.
-A help button, for your convenience. ^_^
-More crap.

Currently working on:
-Sonic R replay-type camera. Works, but very buggy. If anyone can help, go ahead and speak up.
-Fixing Single Player's Sonic Heroes script.

Will do in the future (or someone else, if they feel like it):

-Add new character switch buttons when SRB2 JTE has those characters added.
-Make a batch file for the final release; will execute the code automatically, and some other files. Probably a music pack or something.
-Organize the buttons in a less complex way. Already did so, but maybe I can try and organize it more sometime.
-Improvise some of the commands. Done so, but again, see if I can do it more.
-Add "Devmode" to the character switch buttons; this way it'll work in single player.

Copy this code (and edit as you feel necessary) into a text document and use the "exec" command in console:

I'm also up for new ideas, critique, and help. If anyone wants to contribute to this and/or help out on existing commands (Sonic R cam, mouselook, etc.), go ahead, and I'll add that code and your name to the credits.

And if you see bugs, don't hesitate to tell me. Unless I already knew about it, your bug finding will help improve it greatly.


Now for the feedback.

I think this a great idea...

Cept I have a Diffrent camera options... instead of having 2 buttons... you can have 1 button changing the mode

// Change View and Mouselook

bind j "chasecam 0"
bind k "chasecam 1"

//Camera options: pressing the # 2 button makes the camera go into 3rd person, and then pressing again will make you go into 1st person great in Match mode (they work with both the first player and second player (chasecam = 1st player, chasecam2 = 2nd player))
alias camerachange "chasecam 1; chasecam2 1; bind 2 camerachange2"
alias camerachange2 "chasecam 0; chasecam2 0; bind 2 camerachange;"
bind 2 camerachange

you can configure the Bind button
(hey, i think we know alot about this stuff, i could help you out...)

// Advanced Cameras (Currently doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.)
bind del "chasecam 1"
bind del "cam_height 600"
bind del "cam_dist 600"
bind del "cam_rotate 135"
bind del "cam_speed 0"
bind del "wait 30" "cam_speed 0.25"
bind del "wait 30" "cam_rotate 90"
bind del "wait 30" "cam_height 20"
bind del "wait 30" "cam_dist 300"
bind del "wait 30" "cam_still on"
bind del "wait 90" "chasecam 0"
}
bind home "chasecam 0"

Should be:

// Advanced Cameras (Currently doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.)
bind del "chasecam 1"
bind del "cam_height 600"
bind del "cam_dist 600"
bind del "cam_rotate 135"
bind del "cam_speed 0"
bind del "wait 30; cam_speed 0.25"
bind del "wait 30; cam_rotate 90"
bind del "wait 30; cam_height 20"
bind del "wait 30; cam_dist 300"
bind del "wait 30; cam_still on"
bind del "wait 90; chasecam 0"
bind home "chasecam 0"

No problem. Just remember to put semicolons after each command in a bind or alias.

Heh, thanks. I already found out a few moments ago, though. ;)

Anyway, the script has been minorly updated. I've made use of the alias command (now you only have to press J to switch views), and the Sonic R camera is in production, but not ready to be used. The "wait" command apparently seems to be screwing with other console commands, including talking. >_> I think I know the problem, so that'll be fixed soon.

EDIT: Yikes, only sent a third of it. O_o

well... i have an idea...
you can use Cam_still in the console, to hold your camera angle... and then every 5 seconds or so... it would switch... like for example:

cam_rotate <#>; wait .5; Cam_height <#>; wait .5; cam_dist; wait .5; Cam_still on

Well, I mean, it does what it's supposed to do perfectly fine. But if you try to use talk, it delays and adds the name of the next alias at the end of the message you typed. It also makes it difficult to execute any other console commands outside the SonicR function. >_>

 

[Mystic]

The console command for enabling/disabling mouselook is "alwaysmlook".

 

[clairebun]

Alright, thanks.

The script has been updated! I've rearranged some buttons and added a whole bunch of new stuff.

New Thingies:

-More organized
-Help button (Q)
-Echo comments
-Mouselook and chasecam in one button! Wow! o.o
-Sonic Heroes character script (SRB2JTE exclusive)

Known Bugs:

-First and third button Character switch modes show the entire bind table before executing the command.
-SonicR bug still exists. (I didn't bother to work on it at all. XP )
-"Unknown command" message at beginning of execution of the txt file.

EDIT: Oh, and in case you didn't notice, I put in the "Other Team" Shirobon. That's the skin for my Bomberman wad. No, it isn't finished... yet... ;)

Oh sure, reply to his script, but when I give out a useful server cp don't reply at all :|



Could be useful Blue. But I prefer console commands really =3

-Sonic Heroes character script (SRB2JTE exclusive)

I was looking at this... and Said, "Cool, you added a Robot team script"
But there was one notable thing I might consider a Bug :/

I dont seem to see the Tailspickup command after the last bot added...
( wait 6; Tailspickup )

For the speed and power type characters, like if you are switching to sonic or knuckles, you might want to have it off
and for the Flight, you'll need to have it on because you are obviously going to pick up Sonic and knuckles

--------------------------------------------------
EDIT!: IGNORE THE REST OF THE POST! I FAIL AT READING!
(I realized his script said echo, not cecho), Feel free to use the infromation I stated Below

Also, in that Help Command part of the script
Are these, supposed to mean a new line?: --
if they are, you got it all wrong

cechoduration 15; cecho "welcome to\*** Flames Public Netgame! ***\make sure to have fun, and follow the rules\\*That Flame makes up rules in each Match*\\Visit the site too!\*LINK REMOVED BY FLAME*\-More stuff soon to come-"

the cechoduration command tells the game how many seconds the message stays (NOT GAME-TICS), If it was Running by Game-tics, it would be a much higher number... So my cecho duration is 15, It would last for 15 seconds
And from the quote above, the "\" is what is used to separate the lines in a cecho script...

Phew... thats enough writing for me now... XD

Think of it this way: I didn't get many replies. =P I think it just needed a more descriptive thread title, as otherwise, threads at first glance won't seem like anything important.

Yeah, I left that out purposefully. Really, I don't prefer bots that are unpassable like gargoyle blocks. =P Besides, bots carrying other people are determined by "botcanflyme," right? ;)
