HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Howdy,
Do you guys think its possible to create a Metamod plugin which does the following: Adds weapons from Half-Life to a Half-Life Mod like Counter-Strike?
Eg. from the serverside: giveweapon egon Player
Would it be very interesting if it IS possible,
just the idea to throw someone a gluon gun in the hands is just amazing :D
I tried it with a plugin like AMXMod, but it didnt worked, so it might work with C++, offcourse with the right precaches etc.

'DutchTiger' :)

Edit: Not really bot related I see now, just move it to the forums you think it would fit Mods

This is rather a HL SDK related coding discussion indeed... :)

What you say is possible, although a bit complicated perhaps. But definitely possible, and it has already been done. But if you're not of those who get discouraged by difficulty, there is already a metamod plugin that adds a weapon to all mods, and I think it comes with source code. I believe it's called "hook mod" or "grapple mod" or something like that. It adds an Opposing Force-style grapple hook to players.

Yup I heard about DrunkenFools HookMod, it made our server famous ;)
To be honest I was more thinking about a real HL weapon, like Egon.
This is cool because its allready in everyone's file suitcase.
What you say is it could be done but I would need to develop alot of coding skills to accomplish it. Hmm well I just request an AMXMod Module for it in that case, there alot fanatic coders there who might like the idea. ATM I dont have enough time for C++, I just learned how to compile those stuff. Thanks for your reply :)

I think all things are possible except that you cannot select the weapon from your hud like with 'normal' weapons. So you have to make a new command to select this weapon.

Btw Pierre isn't this a metamod discussion?

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Well I was thinking of binding it to the command "slot6", "slot7" etc. and then make a csay at the right bottom with the name of the weapon.
That makes it possible to use 6 etc. for it but it doesnt show as usual.

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Hmmm... this is debatable... I think that in the end there will be a lot more HL SDK specific stuff involved with this sort of plugin than things that are specific to metamod...

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Actually it is possible to make new weapons and put them in the hud.

AusIV of The Flipside of TFC posted a tutorial for putting new weapons in the hud on his forums.

[ Edit ]

It seems to have been removed, sorry about that.

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Yeah I was thinking of AusIV's mod aswell, he had some gluon beamer added... very interested if anyone has some will and free time... :)
Never knew that was possible in the HUD though

BTW -- You mean this thread?

Huge pitty his Tutorial files are for TFC.

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

The is a mod called Counter-Life, that does this, but vice versa. U played half life with counter strike weapons.

Re: HL Weapons in a Mod like CS
 

Yest but afaik counterlife isn't a metamod plugin, but is made with the sdk.
