http://www.teamprkl.org/Hitsounds.zip – Download and extract to Painkiller/Data

Hello everyone. Last night I heard that there is nobody working on a chainsmod/minimod-like modification for BooH, so I decided to create the most important part by myself: the hitsounds (well, tbh I copypasted most of the stuff from the old chainsmod).

Anyways, Blowfish asked me to write an article about how I did it, so here goes 🙂

So first, I downloaded the PK .pak extractor, which is posted in the minor news section of this site.
Next step was to extract Boohs LScripts.pak and the old 0.56 Chainsmods .pak files. LScripts.pak contains all the necessary scripts to do you own mods. The language the scripts use is LUA, which has a very simple syntax and is easy to understand if you have coded something else.

After that I started looking up for stuff from both the Boohs and Chainsmods lua-files. Finally I found these lines from Chainsmods Classes/CPlayer.lua:

if Player and Player.ClientID == killerID and (player == nil or player ~= Player) and Cfg.CM_HitSounds then

PlaySound2D(hstype,Cfg.CM_HitSound_Vol,0,1)

After this one, there was some statscripts, which I didnt want to use. Naturally, I wasnt using the Cfg.CM_Hitsound-variables, so I just changed the code to fit in to my plans:

if Player and Player.ClientID == killerID and (player == nil or player ~= Player)

PlaySound2D(hstype,100,0,1)
end

Then I added it to the same location (in the CPlayer:Client_OnDamage-function) at the BooHs Classes/CPlayer.lua. After that, I created a few loaders.

LScripts/Loader.lua:
DoFile(“../Data/Hitsounds/Loader.lua”) <- Loads the main loader for Hitsounds-mod. Hitsounds/Loader.lua:
… original booh Loader.lua stuff …
path = “../Data/Hitsounds/” <- set variable path
DoFile(path..”Classes/CPlayer.lua”) <- load the modified CPlayer.lua

And bang, I was done! I also created a killsound, but youll probably figure that one out, when you compare boohs original CPlayer.lua and the modified.

I didnt get this stuff working inside a .pak-file for some reason, so if anyone knows how to get custom paks working, send me a message.

cubik over and out.

Hello everybody 😛
I want to say that I have updated my fan site and English version comming soon. So I hope that you will often visit my website. Greetings for all 🙂

Valid brightskins in BOOH are now:

Red, Green, Blue
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
Black, White

These are set in the config here:

Cfg.BrightskinEnemy = “Red”
Cfg.BrightskinTeam = “Blue”

With Cfg.FixedColors = true, Cfg.BrightskinTeam refers to the team named ‘blue’ on the scoreboard, and Cfg.BrightskinEnemy to the other.

With Cfg.FixedColors = false, Cfg.BrightskinEnemy always refers to the opposing team, and Cfg.BrightskinTeam always to your own team colour.

Hopefully by now many of you will have your FPS playing mitts on BooH. You may have realised that the gameplay is a damn sight smoother, and the rewritten netcode a joy compared to the old version.

Provided with the netcode are a lot more options for tweaking your connection with the server. The PKEURO team have worked tirelessly and have compiled a Readme section to help you find your optimum settings. As always, your feedback is appreciated and we will continue to work on the Readme where necessary.

Find the Readme HERE.

Please appreciate the work that has gone into creating this readme and do not replicate without PKEURO permission.
