Here is the entire code if you need it. Works for both 0.6 and 0.7. You can also download a precompiled binary in the releases section. Make sure to include sv_gametype gdm In your config file

06:05

@lawlion278: do you have a server to run it on? Hosting Teeworlds servers at home is usually not ideal. Because other players will likely have a high ping and you have to fight your NAT.

06:06

I offer fully managed game servers for 2 euros a month. If you don’t want to do anything.

i wanna change some things about how the mode works and i wanted to know if there is a place where i could learn that

11:57

cause it will be 1vs1's and after a person gets a kill both should respawn

11:57

and some things with the ammo system

11:57

are things id want to change

Ah okay then you need to touch the code yes. First you have to get it to compile

13:37

Once you managed to compile I can send you the code for respawn on kill it’s quite simple @lawlion278

13:41

I would also be open to adding a config that respawns a player on kill to ddnet-insta if you are interested in that

13:41

There is also already a configurable ammo system

i did compile it

14:18

Image attachment

14:19

but the votes are fucked

14:19

Looks like you loaded a client config instead of a server one. How did you name your config file?

not at all ;-;

Well first you need a config before you can complain about config issues xd

yeah

Should be called autoexec_server.cfg you can put it next to the server binary

14:25

There you can add votes and also turn off the map listing if you don’t want it

ahh i see

14:27

okay ehm for the ammo system the way i would want it is like 3-4 grenades when out of range of another tee and infinite ammo when like in 10-12 tiles worth of distance of another tee

14:27

not just not infinite ammo

There is no ammo config based on distance yet you would have to code that

and where do i learn how to code anything or where i would put that code cause rn i have no clue where i would start

Start with the easy stuff

14:29

Death on kill

i dont know anything

14:32

i wont be able to find where i would be able to code and i wouldnt be able to code

14:32

its cuz i havent ever touched anything proggraming related ever and i dont know shit about it

14:32

;-;

I think there is a method called OnKill

14:32

Do you know how to search code?

whats a method

Piece of code with name

chillerdragon

Do you know how to search code?

nope

chillerdragon

Piece of code with name

i see

Idk how vs works

14:33

I only know vscode

i will switch to it right now

No need

14:34

If you don’t know something

14:34

You google

14:34

Then you go to stack overflow

14:34

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25310572/how-to-actually-search-all-files-in-visual-studio#37282669

How to actually search all files in Visual Studio

I am using Visual Studio. Say for instance I have a static public method named FooBar() in class Utils. Let's also say that I use this method in a lot of .aspx files. Let's say I change the method

14:34

They say it’s strg+shift+f (you have a German keyboard right?)

ja

14:35

actually no

14:35

xD

Schnitzelsemmel

koennen auch auf deutsch reden wenns dir lieber ist?

Strg/ctrl whatever

14:35

Nein kein Deutschland in diese channel!

okay i understando

Only speak london here

14:36

Okay you found OnKill ?

nop

Where are you stuck?

i dont know anything its genuinly a miracle i got it to compile

14:37

Image attachment

14:37

is that it?

Very good

14:39

okay copy the one from base_pvp.h to gdm.h

where is gdm.h

14:41

Image attachment

You know how to find files?

i dont know anything

14:42

but i google

14:43

where would i put it?

14:43

Image attachment

Inside of the class

14:43

Boundaries of the class are the curly braces

14:43

Order inside doesn’t matter

like that?

Image attachment

yes very gamer

14:46

now you need it in the gdm.cpp too

14:47

try to figure out the shape it needs to have in gdm.cpp by looking at the existing code

what do you mean shape?

once you are done with that you are a programmer equipped with all the skills needed to write any software: compile, ask right question, know how to answer any question, copy and paste code

14:48

its not as easy as copy paste this time

14:48

you need to adapt it

14:48

look at the Tick method for example

14:48

how it looks in gdm.h and how it looks in gdm.cpp

the problem i have is i dont know in which set of curly brackets i would need to put it

Image attachment

do it like the tick

14:49

give it a try and send ur attempt

@lawlion278 are you making your own ddnet insta mod? xd

yes

14:50

he is becoming developer RIGHT NOW

14:50

very fresh

xD

it autfofilled for me

14:50

Image attachment

hax

yeah

when the colors look off either your editor is fucked or you broke the code

14:51

if you use good editor its usually you fucking up

14:51

i see two closing curleys after each other } on the same height

14:51

where do they open?

14:51

i think there is 1 too much

Image attachment

okay better

14:52

but still try to look closely

14:52

is yours structured the same way as the other methods?

You must put the { after the OnKill

spoiler

Image attachment

omg state level hacker

14:53

very good

14:53

now you compile!

14:53

check for errors before writing any new code

70 warnings and it failed to complie

14:54

lets gooo

oh i forgot one VEEEEEEEEEEEERYY IMPORTANT SKILL

14:54

you have to learn!

14:54

and you have good oppuirtinity now

14:54

it is debugging and reading error messages

and what would that be?

14:54

oke

wat the erro say

i mean the servor opened

14:54

but it also said build failed

so no erro?

continue anywas

then its trash vs being crash

14:55

you need a passing build

14:55

why it fail

Image attachment

it should tell u

14:55

try to spot the critical error

14:55

what does it say

i recompiled it

14:56

and it fixed itsaelf

lmao maybe u forgot to save the file

i wanted to say that

ok so u sure it fully compiles all good?

i think i did

14:56

i didnt save

14:56

i saved

ok now

and complied it again

it gets excting my friend

14:57

go to gdm.cpp

14:57

you see there is now the method OnKill

14:57

methods take arguments

14:57

they are in the parenthesis after the method name

14:57

could you try to figure out for me what are the arguments of OnKill?

uhm this seems important no?

Image attachment

that seems important indeed

14:57

but u say it builds?

yeah

Seems he didn't save gdm.h

so lets carry on for now xd

14:58

idk how bad vs rly is

14:58

i think he did now maybe the error got stuck idk

14:58

ok gogo tell me OnKill arguments

14:58

wat are they

class CPlayer *pVictim,

is matrix being slow or did lawlion explode?

14:59

ok ok

class CPlayer *pKiller,

that looks goodish

14:59

yes

14:59

you even split them right

14:59

very gamer

and this no? int Weapon

so as i said between the parenthesis

14:59

and separated by comma ,

14:59

yes weapon too

14:59

so how many in total?

3

pro

15:00

ok arguments are variables

15:00

variables are piece of value with name

15:00

variables also have types cuz c++

15:00

`int Weapon`

15:00

type is int short for integer which is just a number

15:00

and Weapon is the name

int declares type and weapon is name?

15:00

ahh

yes

15:01

then we also have CPlayer *pKiller

15:01

CPlayer is the type its a class in a file called player.h

15:01

every connected gamer has one player instance

15:01

and pKiller is variable name

15:01

the * is a pointer thats to fuck ur program up and make ur server crash

i see

15:01

so delete it?

nono

(xD)

you need it also makes your program fast

pog

its rule of c++ go fast and explode hard

15:02

so be careful with pointer

15:02

if your server crashes it might be pointer

oke oke

ok ok so wat ur plan now?

15:02

in english

15:02

not code

well we put in the onkill method which allows us to put sometihing that gets kalled when onkill happens and that something is that both players respawn

ok nice

15:03

so the pVictim is the victim ... duh

15:03

thats the one that just got killed

uh huh

so he ded anyways

15:04

so we only need to kill the pKiller ez

makes sense

there are bunch of methods in the CPlayer type you can see them in player.h

15:04

but i will spoiler you

15:04

there is one called KillCharacter()

wait

15:04

dont say anything

15:04

KillCharacter(class CPlayer *pKiller)

chillerdragon

if your server crashes it might be pointer

@Pointer

boom

15:04

i think

15:05

ahh you can say again

yesnt

15:05

xd

15:05

so what you can do is just `pKiller->KillCharacter();`

15:05

bbut

15:05

i freestyled this code in my head

15:05

so chances are you server crashes now xd

Image attachment

15:06

Image attachment

15:06

colours are working

15:06

should be fine trust

nana

15:06

pKiller->KillCharacter();

15:07

C++
    if(pKiller->GetCharacter() && pKiller->GetCid() != pVictim->GetCid())
    {
        pKiller->GetCharacter()->Die(pKiller->GetCid(), WEAPON_GAME);
    }

15:07

this should crash less btw

like that?

Image attachment

15:08

ohh

yes like that very nice

Image attachment

that should compile but might crash

15:08

that looks good

15:08

the basedm onkill at the end

15:08

do you see it?

15:09

it calls another method with the same name OnKill defined in some base dm file

i do not see shit

there is already logic happening on kill

xD

bliet dis

15:09

ah i cant send images gg

get of irc

Embedded image

15:09

dis

and go dc like normal functiuoning human

so dis method call of basedm on kill

15:10

does a bunch of kill stuff

i see i see

i forgot which things like print a kill message in the top right and play a sound and give score and so on do killing sprees

15:10

so you can decide of your killing the killer should happen before or after that

15:10

by reordering the code

15:11

i think in this case it doesnt matter much but just u know

oke oke

ok now build and test

no save?

yes save

woaah

Image attachment

15:12

it work

i just tested the simpler pKiller->KillCharacter(); version and it worked too lol

15:12

i had so many concerns about it

xD

sooo many

15:12

xd

you know the thing i proposed built aswell and there was a server

15:12

it did give 3 errorstho

15:12

so i just switched

ok now we make the server crash

15:13

you need to learn how to debug crashes

and how do we make the server crash?

on the top of your method put pKiller->KillCharacter();

15:13

this will delete the character

15:13

ah wait the code below doesnt crash yet sec

like that?

Image attachment

C++
    pKiller->KillCharacter();
    pKiller->GetCharacter()->Die(pKiller->GetCid(), WEAPON_GAME);

15:14

remove if

15:14

its too safe

is good?

Image attachment

nono has to build

15:15

but crash on kill

15:15

by remove the if i meant remove if plus condition in parenthesis and its curly braces

i pressed yes and the server exists now

Image attachment

so only add the two lines i sent

15:15

go make kill

15:15

see if it dies

this?

Image attachment

you miss the die line

15:16

we need kill and die

like so or?

Image attachment

im gonna crashout xd

15:17

put both of the lines in there i sent

15:17

first kill then die

Image attachment

epic

15:18

build

15:18

and make kill

ehm

15:19

i press kill ingame

it crashged the server?

Image attachment

15:19

and i just respawn

and it crashed?

no

then connect dummy

prob cause im not in right mode

do kill with grenade

15:20

you tested the code earlier the one that worked didnt you?

i dont know how to change modes xD

BRUU

15:21

you said "it worked"

15:21

without testing=?=?????

xD

not cool

15:21

you do sv_gametype gdm

15:21

in rcon or config

15:22

ok here is the lesson learned for the non working code:

15:22

the thing is that in teeworlds there is the player instance as i said everyone has one who is connected and there is also something called character its another class defined in character.h and that thing only exists while you are alive. So while a player is spectator or in death screen there is no character. And because we use evil pointers the ones with * and -> if you try to access a character of a dead player the server explodes. Very common mistake actually.

15:22

i do laundry now

15:22

on crash vs should tell you the line you crashed in

15:22

if you access a pointer with -> such as pKiller-> or pVictim-> it might be nullpointer thats the issue

15:22

gz your developer now

oke

15:23

it did crash now

did it tell you the line?

yeah

15:24

i clicked on analyze with coipilot

get used to it it will happen a lot :P

15:24

ok pro

15:24

then try to fix it by going back to the old version that doesnt kill twice and does not access a dead character

15:25

if you are serious about programming you probably want to figure out what the following things are: variable, method, class, object, loop, type, pointer

15:25

you can do that in so many places like blogs, videos and chatgpt and so on

15:26

oh and you also want to learn about if statements they are op

i just want ranked gDM :p

then you need to write some by hand to get comfy with where to put the {{((()));;;;

i see i see

if you just want ranked gdm and not learn to code you should have told me to build it

15:27

you would already be done :p

15:27

but i have to go now xd

xD

15:27

good luck with laundry <3
