Wop Request Thread *NOW OBSOLETE*
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 1:06 am
Alright, I've figured out the ins and outs of wop files and how they tick. I'll be willing to make wops for anyone who asks.
But remember, wop files aren't very flexible. Most of the object's functions are tucked into wg.exe, and I can't edit that. Thus, it's impossible to make things like "Gem Gates" and other things discussed in the past. So be reasonable when making your requests.
The two things I can do to wops is add extra parameters and change the model of the object.
Adding extra parameters are adding things like ScaleAdjust, ZAdjust, etc. to wops that didn't have those things before. For example, adding ScaleAdjust to a transporter is possible, and it works like a charm in the editor!
Modelswaps are very interesting and add for tons of possibilities. For a Spikeyball wop, I could replace the Spikeyball model with a Chomper model, thus it ends up looking like a Chomper with a Spikeyball behavior. Results are often hilarious in-game.
However, modelswaps aren't very flexible. A few minutes ago I tried making a TNT Barrel with the behavior of a Chomper, and the player MAV'd in my face when I played the adventure. So some modelswaps might crash the game.
Alright. Request away.
Also, here's a sample of my work which includes:
Drunk Chomper: A Chomper with Spikeyball behavior. Looks hilarious, bouncing around!
Explosive Chair: It will explode when hit by POW or a Spikeyball.
Wee Chomper: An oddly-textured Chomper with Wee Stinker behavior. It looks a tiny bit glitchy (facing you backwards), but functions properly.
To use new wops, unzip them and put them in any of the folders in Data/Editor/ObjectPresets.
