Adding that cool Lithium
shell effect to items
This will show you how to
add a colored shell to any spawned item. In this example we will first give the
shotgun a green shell then we will add a colored shell to the ctf tech runes.
Open g_items.c and find the
SpawnItem function.
Right after
ent->s.renderfx = RF_GLOW; put:
if
(strcmp(ent->classname, "weapon_shotgun") == 0){
ent->s.effects |= EF_COLOR_SHELL;
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN;
}
All this says is that if
the spawned entity is the shotgun then make it shine FULLBRIGHT, give it a
SHELL that it the color GREEN. "weapon_shotgun" is the classname for
the shotgun... you can find classnames for other items in gitem_t itemlist[]
jus below the SpawnItem function.
If you want other items to
have the same effect you could do this:
if
((strcmp(ent->classname, "weapon_shotgun") == 0) ||
(strcmp(ent->classname, "weapon_supershotgun") == 0)){
ent->s.effects |= EF_COLOR_SHELL;
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN;
}
This says if the spawned
item is a shotgun or a supershotgun then make it shine FULLBRIGHT, give it a
SHELL that it the color GREEN.
If you want everything to
have the above effect, then just get rid of the if statement so that it looks
like this:
ent->s.effects |=
EF_COLOR_SHELL;
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN;
Adding colored shells to CTF tech runes.
Open g_ctf.c and find the SpawnTech function.
Right after
ent->s.renderfx = RF_GLOW; put:
ent->s.renderfx =
RF_FULLBRIGHT;
ent->s.effects |= EF_COLOR_SHELL;
if
(strcmp(ent->classname, "item_tech1") == 0){
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN;
}
if (strcmp(ent->classname, "item_tech2") == 0){
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_BLUE;
}
if (strcmp(ent->classname, "item_tech3") == 0){
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_RED;
}
if (strcmp(ent->classname, "item_tech4") == 0){
ent->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_DOUBLE;
}
This does the same thing as
the shotgun example with one exception... the RF_FULLBRIGHT and EF_COLOR_SHELL
are not in each if statement. Why... because we plan on giving all etches a
colored shell and we don't have to repeat it four times! Use RF_SHELL_DOUBLE
for yellow and RF_SHELL_HALF_DAM for white.

Ok... another Dhoooo!
I noticed that when you drop a ctf tech... it no longer has the shell effect!
So here is the fix!
Open g_items.c and find *Drop_Item function.
Right after dropped->s.renderfx = RF_GLOW; put:
dropped->s.effects |= EF_COLOR_SHELL;
if (strcmp(dropped->classname, "item_tech1") ==
0){
dropped->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_BLUE;
}
if (strcmp(dropped->classname, "item_tech2") == 0){
dropped->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_RED;
}
if (strcmp(dropped->classname, "item_tech3") == 0){
dropped->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_DOUBLE;
}
if (strcmp(dropped->classname, "item_tech4") == 0){
dropped->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN;
}
This will make sure the tech will have a colored shell after
it has been droped.

I mentioned RF_FULLBRIGHT but forgot to add that into the
tutorial. Dhoooo!
In each example, just add ent->s.renderfx = RF_FULLBRIGHT
just above ent->s.effects |= EF_COLOR_SHELL;
ent->s.renderfx = RF_FULLBRIGHT is not nessesary but is
nice to have if for some reason the item or tech spawns into a dark area.
