Cant figure it out! Making nonmodder mods

Post by AJ88xA8 »

Please can someone help me with making my friend (doesn't have a modded xbox) be able to use my mods that i make. We play with XBC 5.1 and I am the only one that is able to use the mods. He can just view them. The Weapons ar all screwed up 2. So If anyone could point me in the right direction please do so! :-)

Many mods will not work properly through System-Link. The only way to fix that is to give the client the modded map.

The mod needs to be along the premise of working for client side xbox's. So you need to make or find mods, that are compatible. Entity has a fix system link button that tends to take care of it for you. I know there are one or two tutorials that explain what can be used, viewed, or tinkered with that work for both client and host.

Only certain things will work for non-modders. If you inject something that's not usually in the map, others without that map cannot see it, since they have the retail version.

These things work if done right.

Projectile swaps. weapon model swaps. edited powerups. flying warthogs.
And any object spawned by fireing a weapon. Example: (Swap any weapons projectile to vehicle.) Duplicate and use the rocket for custom models.
You cant just make your opponant jump high, but you can make his melae bounce him high by increasing its force. Duplicate edit and use sentinal beam projectile for projectiles to be seen by clients.
And use airlifts as projectiles to reach tops of buildings, this works best in headlong. What ever way you shoot, an airlift will spawn pushing you in the opposite direction. I use plasma pistol, shoot down then jump, keep shooting to go higher, and airlifts stay were you spawn em.
