Hide compass on killcam

[alyosha]

Hi, is possible to hide the compass during the killcam? Because in CTF,  looking the compass on killcam is possible know where is your flag.

Not the entire compass, but you can hide the objectives.
You will have to update the client iwd for this, so new downloads for players.

Extract ui_mp\hud.menu from the iwd.

Locate this:

Code: [Select]

itemDef // Objective pointers
{
name "compasspointers"
decoration
visible MENU_TRUE
rect 0 0 COMPASS_SIZE COMPASS_SIZE
forecolor 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_COMPASS_POINTERS
}
Make it look like this:

Code: [Select]

itemDef // Objective pointers
{
name "compasspointers"
decoration
visible MENU_TRUE
rect 0 0 COMPASS_SIZE COMPASS_SIZE
forecolor 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_COMPASS_POINTERS
dvartest "ui_hide_pointers"
hideDvar { "1" }
}
Save and place back in iwd. Upload to server (and download redirect).


Open maps\mp\gametypes\_killcam.gsc

Look for this (starting at line 39 in v2.5):

Code: [Select]

killcam(attackerNum, delay, offsetTime, respawn)
{
self endon("spawned");

// killcam
if(attackerNum < 0)
return;

self.sessionstate = "spectator";
self.spectatorclient = attackerNum;
self.archivetime = delay + 7;
self.psoffsettime = offsetTime;
Make it look like this:

Code: [Select]

killcam(attackerNum, delay, offsetTime, respawn)
{
self endon("spawned");

// killcam
if(attackerNum < 0)
return;

self setClientCvar("ui_hide_pointers", 1);

self.sessionstate = "spectator";
self.spectatorclient = attackerNum;
self.archivetime = delay + 7;
self.psoffsettime = offsetTime;
Look for this (starting at line 210 in v2.5):

Code: [Select]

removeKillcamElements()
{
if(isDefined(self.kc_topbar))
self.kc_topbar destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_bottombar))
self.kc_bottombar destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_title))
self.kc_title destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_skiptext))
self.kc_skiptext destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_timer))
self.kc_timer destroy();
}
Make it look like this:

Code: [Select]

removeKillcamElements()
{
self setClientCvar("ui_hide_pointers", 0);

if(isDefined(self.kc_topbar))
self.kc_topbar destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_bottombar))
self.kc_bottombar destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_title))
self.kc_title destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_skiptext))
self.kc_skiptext destroy();
if(isDefined(self.kc_timer))
self.kc_timer destroy();
}
Save and upload to server.

This should make all objective pointers disappear during killcam.

Ok, I will wait the extreme 2.6 for a new downloads for players, the code to will be the same also in 2.6?

p.s. The test server is with release candidate the new release is near?

[PatmanSan]

Yep. Code will be part of v2.6, which is nearly done. Some more testing, small adjustments...
