TONS of binds my friend...

F is the gas.
Up arrow is down.
Down arrow is up.(Yes my controls are inverted)
Left arrow is left.
Right arrow is right.
R is to drop bombs/ignite bombs.
And alot of others that arent used for controlling airplane.
 
Wont let me edit main post, screenshot link broken. Heres new one: http://img154.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img154&image=bombdropping17lm.jpg

How DID you get it to do that? Delayed thrusters?

All of the cannisters have names (using ent_setname command).
I bind certain keys to activate certain cannisters, then deactivate them when I let go of the key.
I set the front cannisters names to be gas, then bound F to the +gas alias:
alias +gas "ent_fire gas activate"
alias -gas "ent_fire gas deactivate"
Once I release F it calls the alias -gas, which deactivates it.
 
I'd really like to do this, but im entirely moronic at understanding that stuff. i can spawn stuff and thats it :p

If you could upload the save file and the config, thats would be really really great and help me out loads, and many others i should think. Many thanks if you can get round to doing that.
 
yea its a bunch of ent setname and ent_fire commands. Very cool video. I never really tried to do it. Good job. I saw another video with someone who made a robot wars thingy robot. that he could remote control with the same basic script only with wheels.
 
Yeah that was f0rked killing machine, basically a truck, with a frontal battering ram with a rotating mace like thing on the end with chains and breeze blocks attached. it basically ripped combines apart and across the map, very entertaining. I'd like to see pilotable vehicles tbh, especially aircraft. I know its hard, and you die, but cmon someones gotta think of a way soon!

Ill upload those tonight or tommorow with instructions on setting things up. And I think paulys talking about This Video: http://www.pcgamemods.com/9013/
I got the idea for making the bomber from watching this and a few other vids. Basicly same concept just a lil simpler with less cannisters.
 
This engine rocks. I can't wait to see more creative things from the people. Well done! :thumbs:
 
This is cool.

I wonder if theres a way to make a whole mod out of it.... build your own death machine?
 
the screenshot looks whit very low resolutions

is the image or the game is on low setings?

Would be possible. Hopefully you could add more things in (Like, engines and stuff so you don't have to use cannisters for everything)
 
Nice, i'm going to try my hand at doing something like that later when i get home... but - can anyone tell me where i can get the map buildingblocks?
 
You can get it at google.com. If you manage to find the search bar.
 
nice !! I can't wait for the airplane mods to start rolling out !
 
Ok, for all that wanted save file and config, see attachment. You must have buildingblocks_final to play it.
I suggest using the controls that I have set. No need to exec anything or do anything with console, its all done. Just put the .sav and .tga in your Valve/Steam/SteamApps/YourUserName/Half Life 2/JBmod/Saves folder, and overwrite the autoexec.cfg in JBmod/cfg with the one in the zip.
Controls are:
F is the gas.
Up arrow is down.
Down arrow is up.
Right arrow rolls plane right.
Left rolls plane left...
R is to drop the bombs/ignite the bombs.
If you want your plane to go forward at all you gotta hold down the gas.
Thats all you need to know to fly the plane. T is for flashlight incase you need it.

The only thing on low is your language
 
ooh, nice one :thumbs:

The most creative thing I´ve done with the game was a shed of boxes :eek:
 
i was messing around earlier with the plane, trying to get it controllable...can anyone explain in more detail how to get it so the cannisters activate when you press the button and deactivate when you release it?
 
Heh, that's pretty awesome. I've managed to make a plane fly around, but not near as much control as that. I could take off (plane-style, not helicopter-style), turn left and right, and do a backflip. Nicely done, though.
Maybe I'll make a couple of videos of some my wicked killing machines. Although, I don't know how to compress them to smaller resolutions. Can someone give me a quick-walkthrough on that?
 
well, to make a cannister activate and then deactivate when you go off, heres how i do it:

To use this cannister, ima use say the name hi. So..
ent_setname hi (pointing at the cannister)
after that, type in console:

alias +hi (ent_fire hi activate)
alias -hi (ent_fire hi deactivate)

Then, say you want to bind it to F1:

bind f1 "+hi" (remember to keep the +, or else it doesnt work with my past experiences.)

I've probably made a mistake somewhere, so someone feel free to correct me!

if i do this will it only change the config for this save game and not my others in jbmod?
 
Just copy the original jbmod cfg and then replace it when you're done with his mod. However, I do believe that he edited it so that it only adds those commands--as in, it won't hurt anything else.

If you were to overwrite your auto-exec with mine, youd just have some extra controls, the only bind that gets replaced is the flashlight. Its binded to T, but if you plan on having more than one of these I suggest making it into a seperate .cfg file named flight1 or something. So everytime your flying the bomber youd type: exec flight1.cfg
That will input the controls I have set in the .cfg.
 
Dude that was freaking awesome. This is some creativity you go there. :D Good job.

1.Start fraps (or whatever your recording with)
2.Record your movie.
3.Open your recorded movie in a good program for compression (I used virtual dub, if you dont have it google it, no link sorry)
4.Compress it with a codec (DivX works best and compresses smallest)
5.Zip it, for even smaller size.
6.Upload it somewhere (pcgamemods is good).
Youv'e just made a movie..
 
I modified the plane to make it ridable, so now, it has a cockpit.. All I did was weld the airboat to it, got in, and controled the plane. Simple! Plus its cool. Here is the save if you guys want it.

Heh, thats what I tried doing. But its very hard to control in first person, also the airboat weighs it down alot so it takes more force to go upward. Still, its hella fun to fly in first person.
 
I just added in three walls made with two plastic hamper crates each, and then welded a sheet metal top to it so I would fly out. :D It works great, but I can never seem to weld two points together on the same object--is that even possible?

Sure is, if you can position it right it can be done with a fixed weld. But if thats too hard a ball socket will work.
 
I suceeded in the feat of making an airplane that I can control! I feel special.
By the way a small tip to add on to the guide of how to make controlloble cannisters. Never label your cannisters left, right, forward,backwards...You won't be able to move yourself. I found out the hard way :-(.
