    There is currently no fix, however using 32bit RenX will result in it happening less. Using 32bit also leads to more VRAM crashes, so it's kind of a trade-off for one or the other.

    [Tutorial] Create a mutator to add special abilties/passives to infantry

    in Tutorials

    Posted

    In this tutorial I will explain a bit how to use Rx_PassiveAbility, and utilize it fully to create a mutator that is compatible with other mutators (don't need to overwrite any classes). This mutator will give Sydney a healing passive ability.

     

    Rx_PassiveAbility is a class that is spawned when a character is spawned(bought or spawned from crate). This all starts in the SetCharacterClassFromInfo function of Rx_Pawn. From there, we can see in that function that GivePassiveAbility is where abilities are given, so that will be our entry point in the mutator.

     

    (Rx_PassiveAbility_ArmourHeal)

    First, let's create the passive ability that we will apply to Sydney. We define a couple variables that we will be using so that we don't have plain numbers lying around in the code, and we can tweak the code easily using DefaultProperties. The Init function is called when a passive ability is attached to a Pawn, so let's use that as the time to start the timer for the healing. We also need to create a heal function, so we will create that function with all the needed checks and functionality. Since we don't want this to be too overpowered, let's add a penalty for taking damage, which is easily doable using the NotifyTookDamage function provided in Rx_PassiveAbility.

     

    (Rx_Mutator_HealingSydney)

    Using CheckReplacement we can see when an Rx_InventoryManager_GDI_Sydney is spawned, this means a player just bought a Sydney or got one from a crate. Whenever we verify this information, we can go ahead and call GivePassiveAbility on the player's pawn. Since Other is the InventoryManager, and the InventoryManager is spawned by the Pawn, we can check the Owner of the Other and get the Pawn from there.

    The code is decently commented, so it should be self explanatory, however, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

    Vehicles are getting some FOV changes applied to them. At the moment FOV is applied on a per vehicle basis using a specific FOV. I just changed it to a FOV multiplier instead of a static FOV replacement number.

     

    tldr vehicles got changed recently so they will multiply ur fov instead of changing it (not in live yet)

    Server list to show if its Nod vs Blackhand?

    The only current indicator is this little icon here.

    This means it is in the CNC gamemode, which is Nod vs GDI. In this example, EU is on NodVNod Lakeside, and NA is on regular Nod vs GDI Lakeside.

    Little circle icon = Nod v GDI

    No icon = Nod v Nod or other custom gamemode

    You need to add a Rx_Tib_NavigationPoint for GDI. There is only one for Nod. If you want it to go to the Nod tiberium patch, you must add path nodes and make sure they are connected to the Nod tib field. Press P to see paths.

    Getting the same issue. The game seems to start but some kind of error aborts the launch. When I checked the log I found this:

    [0000.75] Critical: appError called: Failed to find file for package Core for async preloading.
    [0000.75] Critical: Windows GetLastError: The system cannot find the file specified. (2)
    [0007.51] Log: === Critical error: ===

    I suggest anyone getting the same issue to check their log in 'Renegade X\UDKGame\Logs'.

    You're missing some game files. I suggest verifying game integrity in the launcher. Click the settings button in top right.
