Optic

[Btcc22]

I think HAC 2 will replace Halo Chat V2 as well? Does it prevent the no-text glitch from occurring?

The idea was to offer similar functionality, so I suppose so. You'd still be able to use Halo Chat V2 if you had a preference for it though. There's no text lag/glitching with this system, thankfully.

I really hope OS v3.1.1 stable works with this.

Yeah, I'd like to see this happen too. There are a couple of issues to sort out but fingers crossed.

I'm looking forward to this.

I know some lua, and I've some ideas for rewards that I'd like to whip up.

As far as the stats tracking is concerned, all I really give a shit about is k/d, and games won/lost/quit out of.

Is there a way to detect when damage is dealt by you to another player so I can add COD hitmarkers

[t3h m00kz]

that'd be a sick script to implement, assuming yeah as you said, there's a way to listen for damage dealt

Every weapon would need their own custom hit marker, considering the reticule sizes

[Rentafence]

Would be wonky with the no load fix because shots don't always get detected on client side even though the server recognizes a player taking damage. There could be instances where you get a valid hit on a player but the client doesn't see it and a hit marker doesn't come up.

The API in the first release will be fairly basic since I haven't come to a final decision on how I'll be gathering events from the game to pass them to Lua. It's a tricky problem since the client is fairly stupid compared to the server.

[Rentafence]

Not really a programmer nor familiar with how the fuck you're even doing this but I'd imagine the ghetto option would be to detect whenever the game plays the "ding" noise when you hit someone.

[Btcc22]

Detecting hits is certainly doable, it's just something I haven't added yet because I'd likely end up having to redo it when I've settled on a solution for the other events I'd like to get working.

Most mods are broken until they are updated. Keep an eye on this thread to see which mods are updated to work and which are still broken.

I have just tested Optic in v1.10, though, and it works as normal.

i sayed it because i am doing a lot of kill streaks that saap's servers detect but in the game does'n appears any medal or sound, and when i press F2 it show medals that i got before halo 1.0.10

it stop working when i actualized my game

I'd be fine with having it called with the "ding" noise if nothing else.

So, are there going to be lua scripts shipping with the updated HAC2 that I'll be able to use for reference for the medals? And perhaps a library I can look at of the available functions?

Ideally, the idea I have is as follows:

When the "ding" noise plays, a .wav and an X-texture are called. The texture is based on whatever weapon the player is holding (wider bitmap for wider reticules). A pure white "X" texture that recolors based on whatever HUD color the player is using. On a killshot, the hit sound called could be a bit meatier to communicate a kill.

I'm not much of a coder/scripter.. but I can get around. the logic would be something like (whipped this up in like 5-10 minutes, it's sketchy as fuck):

global HitMarkerImage = "smallasshitmarker.png"

function hitmarkervisuals() -- this sets the texture called based on weapon held and changes the color
SleepUntil([|
    weapon is switched or user's set hud color is updated
    |]);

    TextureColors = user's set HUD color

    if (WeaponReadied = "Shotgun");
    or (WeaponReadied = "Assault Rifle");
    or (WeaponReadied = "Rocket Launcher");
    or (WeaponReadied = "anything else with a big ass reticule") then
        HitMarkerImage = bighitmarker.png;

    elseif (WeaponReadied = Sniper Rifle)
    or (WeaponReadied = Pistol)
    or (WeaponReadied = blah blah small shit) then
        HitMarkerImage = smallasshitmarker.png;

    else
    return;
    end
end

function displayhitmarker() -- this displays the hitmarker in the center of the screen
    SleepUntil([| ping sound is hit |])
    DisplayTexture ("HitMarkerImage");
    TextureCoordinates = middle of the fucking screen;
    playhitmarkersound();
end

function playhitmarkersound() -- this plays the hitmarker sound based on damage or kill
    if (enemydamaged) then
        playsound HitSound.wav;
    elseif (enemykilled) then
        playsound KillSound.wav;
end

e:
Ideally there'd be a way to listen for headshots as well, could add headshot-specific hitsounds. not certain how feasable that would be.
