| Post subject: | Can't get new BW inputs work under Linux in UT2k4 |
Hi, I recently joined on the thenicam.ch BW servers in UT2k4 and was struck by sheer awe playing this mod, with all the awesome weapons, different fire modi, gore et cetera and wanted to experience this also in Instant Action and locally hosted LAN games, so I went to this site and tried to install Ballistic Weapons 2.5, meticolously following the Installation instructions and installing from the zip/rar archives. Most of the games works fine, however I can't get the input keys for Loadout Menu, Switch Fire Mode etc. to work; in the ingame settings no new bindings show up, so I tried to set them myself in my ~/.ut2004/System/User.ini and manually in the console, sadly to no avail, with the lucky exception of Reload. When issuing all the other commands manually in the console, it also says unrecognised command, so I guess there somewhere lies the problem. However, the bots happily use different fire modi, iron sights and dual wield pistols, so it can't be that broken. I also can choose new Weapons in BW Conflict mode in the Esc-Menu, and when playing a loadout game, the loadout menu appears at the start of the match and works fine, but I can't get it to show up later. Since Reload works I thought it might be a whitespace issue, but escaping whitespaces, enclosing it in quotes, etc. does not work, also sprint is unrecognised when using the sprint mutator. Thinking it might be a Problem with 2.5, I also installed 2.1, however the same problem still occurs while everything else runs smoothly. On said server I am also able to use all new functions and even can configure the new inputs in a separate tab when hitting esc. Also hosted a server with BW2.5 installed and tried to join with my other machine, still everything works fine but the input keys. All installations where tested on two machines, running funtoo (a gentoo flavor, so all relevant files are exactly like in gentoo), having UT2k4 installed with the following packages: games-fps/ut2004-3369.3-r1 games-fps/ut2004-bonuspack-ece-1-r3 games-fps/ut2004-bonuspack-mega-1-r2 games-fps/ut2004-data-3186-r4 Also tried to directly install the mod in the root owned ut2004-folder /opt/ut2004, also to no avail. I don't exactly know how the linux installation works, but I hope that data-3186-r4 is not the problem, since there are no newer packages available (maybe in some overlay, dunno), and well, it works fine except the input stuff. I'm out of ideas here; maybe it's possible to make the keybindings a bit more explicit, like BallisticV25.bla.Switch Fire Mode or so, but I don't know how that should look like. I hope someone can give me a hint, maybe I did somewhere a totally obvious and stupid mistake. Kind regards Edit: So, I guess I got it working more or less, had to learn some stuff about ut modding and so, but I found everything I needed in the BWCoreV25.u; Reload did work because duh, the exec (simulated) function for this was called Reload, so here are the other associations I worked out, in case someone stumbles upon the same problem: Reload Weapon: Reload Dual Wield/Quick Draw: DualSelect Switch fire mode: SwitchWeaponMode Weapon Special: WeaponSpecial Use Sights: ScopeView Cock Gun: CockGun Loadout Menu: Mutate loadout It seems to me there is some bug which prevents the application of the new key bindings under "class BallisticKeyBinding extends GUIUserKeyBinding". Maybe this can be fixed? Kind regards |
