Outpost 2 DLL Programming

actually, Energy Cannon HAS TO BE the scorpion weapon, and if its not maybe its a hidden Ion Cannon easter egg.

How about, we put different names into a different namespace. (Very simple then, you could do this)

In header:

Code: [Select]

namespace newNames {
enum map_id { 
// blah
}
}

In your source, to use the new names just do something like

Code: [Select]

using namespace newNames;

or you could go the long way by doing something like

Code: [Select]

... newNames::LYNX ...

I figured something nifty out for all of you trying to enumerate a rare ore mine. If you used the map_Mine 0x15 then you will never get a rare ore mine only common mines.
the folowing can be added to the outpost2 headder file but is not the "official name"... yet
map_Mine_Rare = 0x16,
This should only be used for enumerateing rare mines, but I have not tryed useing this value for createing new mines.

I personaly think that map_mine 0x15 sould be named map_Mine_Common
and that the new value i found should be map_Mine_rare

[EDIT]Pay special attention to the map_Any : it is NOT to be used in any definitions, but it should be used in things like enumerators or triggers. For example a countTrigger to count ALL cargo trucks (regardless of cargo).

[BlackBox]

We have that already.

Code: [Select]

#define plr_all -1

Thanks again (This was going to end up in the new SDK header anyway).

[Eddy-B]

So that's what plr_all is for huh ?  
...

plr_all is for sending messages to all players.
map_Any (as i defined it), is ti be used where the function requires a map_id.
I know both represent the same value (-1) but for me; it's much clearer when using the map_Any   :-)
