We Gotta Powaa

I’ve been pretty busy with boring real life stuff lately, but took a much needed break and watched a bunch of Dragon Ball this weekend with Mrs Ninja.  Overdosing on DB (again) resulted in these work in progress logos that should be exciting to any fan of the show:

From top left to right: Kame (Turtle School), Kami (God), Ma (Demon used by Piccolo Daimao), Kaio (King Kai), Satsu (Kill used by Tao Paipai), Son Goku, and the Majin symbol for Boo and others that Babidi controls.

I’ll be testing and tweaking them this week, as time permits, and should have some in-game screens up soon.

Also, I know that everybody is excited for the new missions, and I hope to have some news and a playable build up soon. Thanks for everyone’s patience and supportive comments and emails while I finish this last part of v1.9. Rest assured that it is still coming and I haven’t forgotten about it!  ;)

    Idol,
    Does anyone know how police roadblocks work? I tried modding them in notoriety_spawns.xtbl, but it didn’t show ingame.

    Question. How do you add hair to a plastic surgeon?

    • IdolNinja says:

      @rudemaker
      It’s like any other entry in customization_items.xtbl. If it’s enabled and in the right slot, then it will show up there. The problem is that all of those extra hair options crash the game when enabled. I tried everything I could think of to get them working with no luck. Let me know if you have any success with it.

      Also, keep in mind that customization_items.xtbl is maxed out (in a strange way.) If you enable an item then it will remove the last item in the file from the game. It’s already done that with a few items, but we never noticed since they were unused in-game. So, for example, if you enable a hair option (and it works) then the 5′oclock shadow will not show up in-game. The solution would be to find and move an unused item to the bottom of the file so if it’s disabled then it doesn’t matter.

      Also, no idea about the police roadblocks. What exactly are you trying to do?

  3. rudemaker says:

    Well, what I’m really trying to do is use Veteran Child’s hat hair. Is that possible?

    • IdolNinja says:

      @rudemaker
      I told you all I know. All extra hair simply crashes the game when I tried to enable it in any slot. I don’t have any other advice, sorry.

    I’m trying to see if I can use the police car roadblocks from the first mission in the game as level 3 roadblocks, and, if possible, make Ultor have riot vans in some roadblocks. (It makes a bit more sense in the context of my heavily modded police responses).

    How would you put the regular T3K Urban back into the game? I really miss dual wielding them.

    • IdolNinja says:

      Well, you can dual wield the new ones, but the positioning is weird on the left hand. Check the syntax for the SKR-9 in weapons.xtbl and add that same dual wieldable flag to the tec9 (which is the T3K.) You should be able to dual wield now.

      If you do want to change the mesh itself back, you’ll need to make 3 changes.
      * Edit items_inventory.xtbl and change the tec9 entry mesh from p_tec9b.smeshx to p_tec9.smeshx.
      * Do the same for items_3d.xtbl
      Edit preload.tbl and change the preload mesh from p_tec9b.smesh to p_tec9.smesh.

  7. rudemaker says:

    Will it automatically be in my inventory, or will I have to find it again?

    • IdolNinja says:

      @rudemaker
      The game considers it still the same gun, so yeah. It will just change the mesh for the existing one already in your inventory. You will not have to find/buy again.

  8. rudemaker says:

    Okay, thanks I think I got it right then.

  9. rudemaker says:

    Hey Idol, I think i found an interesting discovery. I found that putting the hooker eyelashes in the around eyes slot makes it to work just fine. You can color them and everything!

    Sweet thanks, I’m very glad I could help!
