"Base Under Attack"Sound?

[Shifty]

You know how when aliens attack human rc you get that cp message or what ever it is "Base under attack!"? Would it be possible to, through a client side mod, add sound to this like on aliens? Like...what are the files governing this and all?

[Demolution]

There is a sound like that already. It's "The Overmind is under attack!"

no clue/good idea/there's probably a reason devs decided to do it this way

When a human building in range of the DC is hit, the game qvm creates an event of type EV_DCC_ATTACK. In the cgame qvm, in file cg_envent.c this event is handled:

Code: [Select]

   case EV_DCC_ATTACK:
      if( cg.predictedPlayerState.stats[ STAT_TEAM ] == TEAM_HUMANS )
      {
        //trap_S_StartLocalSound( cgs.media.humanDCCAttack, CHAN_ANNOUNCER );
        CG_CenterPrint( "Our base is under attack!", 200, GIANTCHAR_WIDTH * 4 );
      }
      break;

So apparently the devs intended to play a sound here, but the sound was commented out later (due to a lack of a sound file ?). So you just have to remove the comment markers and register an appropriate sound (modify cg_local.h and cg_main.h).

:facepalm: I said..FOR THE HUMAN RC....LIKE on ALIENS..I already know there is one for aliens...I just want to replicate that on humans.

Thanks gimhael...so I assume this would mean I would need to write a custom qvm to get this to work?

Yes, although with the commented code and such it should be incredibly trivial once you have a sound file.

the humans also get a message if their spawn nodes are attacked aliens get it for their overmind but dont get the warning for eggs the rc currently doesnt give any warnings(unless if this has changed in 1.2)

the aliens really need the rc to give no warning its hard enough to get it down w/out the attack being broadcast out. they dont have range like the humans do they have to actually get on it

[Shifty]

So theoretically, you could make things a whole lot easier for you (and cheat) by adding code to give warnings for arms, meds, rc, nodes, eggs, om, and anything important?

It's a cgame change, so the server would have to OK it or you'd have to cheat, same as with aimbots etc etc.

[UniqPhoeniX]

But basically the client already receives information from server about base status, more then the "Base is under attack"? If yes, fail.

[gimhael]

No.
