[Tutorial] Custom Medals

[Nekochan]

Hey again! This is my 'fast-stupid' tutoral. I will show and tell how to make custom medals or 'custom popup'
Medal - this thing like wager, or messages as "Tripple kill!" etc

You need thoose files:

• raw\mp\medalTable.csv
  
• raw\maps\mp\_medals.gsc
  
• mod.csv
  
• Localized Strings knowledge
  
• Mod tools
  
• 
  

I will use my string: MODMEDAL_TESTTEXT

1. Copy raw\mp\medalTable.csv to mods\mp_YOURMOD\mp\medalTable.csv

2. Create in mp_TESTMOD folders (with using AkelPad etc):

english\localizedstrings\modmedal.str

3. Open this file and put following lines:

VERSION "1"
CONFIG "C:\projects\cod\t5\bin\StringEd.cfg"
FILENOTES ""

4. Now Open your medalTable.csv file and make custom medal following default medals as example:
- FOLLOW THIS:

NUMBER OF MEDAL,MEDAL TYPE (NAME),MEDAL TEXT,MEDAL DESC,XP,XP2,0

5. Go in end of file and find last line, you will see number:

62,MEDAL_AIRCRAFT_ASSIST,MEDAL_AIRCRAFT_ASSIST,MEDAL_AIRCRAFT_ASSIST_DESC,0,0,0

6. Create custom (following 4th msg):

63,MEDAL_CUSTOMTEST,MODMEDAL_TESTTEXT,MODMEDAL_TESTTEXT_DESC,100,100,0

7. Now go to

mp_YOURMOD\english\localizedstrings\modmedal.str

and open it

8. Add thoose lines:

REFERENCE TESTTEXT
LANG_ENGLISH "Test medal"

REFERENCE TESTTEXT_DESC
LANG_ENGLISH "Test medal description! This is works!"

9. Save files.

NOTE: Do not use 'self processMedal( );' function! You can be banned, because this Stats Modifer! Read 11th msg for call medal

10. Find

raw\maps\mp\_medals.gsc

and move to

mp_YOURMOD\maps\mp\_medals.gsc

11. Copy this functions ( fixed by me )

processModMedal(medalName)
{
self thread giveModMedal( medalName );
}

giveModMedal( medalName )
{
self endon("disconnect");

if ( level.teambased )
xp = level.medalInfo[medalName]["xp"].team;
else
xp = level.medalInfo[medalName]["xp"].player;

self.score += xp;

addMedalToQueue( level.medalInfo[medalName]["index"] );

}

and put in

mp_YOURMOD\maps\mp\_medals.gsc

in end of file...
NOTE: Only in _medals.gsc !

12. Now for call medal use:

self maps\mp\_medals::processModMedal( MEDAL TYPE (NAME)! );

Ex.

self maps\mp\_medals::processModMedal( "MEDAL_CUSTOMTEST" );

13. Build your mod and test!

Nice tutorial but I doubt using that fucking will get you banned. Also you don't have to use

Code:

self endon("disconnect");

in a function without a loop..

ninja edit: I just typed fucking instead of function, i'm going to hell

[surtek]

+1 bullet.

[Nekochan]

There is will like:
"Tripple kill!"

If we are able to use a function that gets us banned, then thats obviously Trollarch's fault. Afaik they never told us we may NOT use it. They released the files with the modtools so we are allowed to use the function.

[Nekochan]

i said there is was statAdd function .. i deleted it ... so not bannable

Mod tools don't have this file _medalTable.csv.

statAdd doesn't add anything if its not a valid value/name
