Random Color Bike and Tail Every Round HACK

RandomColorBike · Post by **RandomColorBike** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 8:01 pm

Okay guys, this is the source code patch to make this work. I think its a horrible hack and could be done elsewhere but here it is:

in the armagetronad source directory, go under src/engine and edit ePlayer.cpp
and look for this:

void ePlayerNetID::WriteSync(nMessage &m){
lastSync=tSysTimeFloat();
nNetObject::WriteSync(m);
m.Write(r);
m.Write(g);
m.Write(b);

Change the above few lines to look like this:
void ePlayerNetID::WriteSync(nMessage &m){
lastSync=tSysTimeFloat();
nNetObject::WriteSync(m);

int bb=1+(int) (31.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
int rr=1+(int) (31.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
int gg=1+(int) (31.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
m.Write(rr);
m.Write(gg);
m.Write(bb);

Recompile and your car and tail will change colors every round. Also there is no way to turn it off yet, but someone could code a patch to easily do so.

Interesting idea. Really good way to confuse other players that happen to be trying to come after you

glad you finally made your patch public, good little hack

shame that the colors are only updated between rounds, would look great if the colors changed constantly during game play giving multicolor walls but that would have a huge impact on bandwidth

If its a patch can only you see it or can others because if it does very interesting!

or it could be my guess that inside the game it changes and i dont see anything .. am i right??

I kinda got confused with it heh..

That patch seem to send your new color code to the network.

So yes, everybody would see it.

[Edit : Uhmm by anychance do you mean the source files or the files that we installed because if your talking about the source i dont know where to get that and the files installed i cant find it .. maybe you can give me a clue or steps cuz im confused.. if you can thanks

source can be downloaded from the download page I think (maybe you need to follow the further link to the betas, it is certainly there).

You have to compilke the patched source yourself.

Sweet, I'll try this out. Maybe it will work and I can figure it out.

When I've copied the code into the source file, What do I do next? hehe.

Compile it?

I downloaded Code Blocks and I compiled the ePlayer File and it doesn't work. What file do I have to open?

Compiling armagetronad on windows isn't exactly easy, and if you don't have any programming experience (scripting language knowledge probably won't help you either) I suggest you don't try it…
