Reply To: MAFIA II – melee weapons

MafiaEmpire wiki is a good touch, but we need something more complete. I am currently working on a list of HumanMessages enumerations as you requested, it should be done today or tomorrow.

SetDamageMultiplier does not work on player, because player character does not use melee archetype from civilian.xml in “tables.sds”. Well to be correct it uses, but it takes only melee animset from it. Damage dealt by player character is set in human2config.xml in “ingame.sds”. Blame 2K for this mess 😆 .

Another issue you mention is simply something we will have to put up with. “Prazdne ruce” (empty hands) is the one and only weapon capable of entering a melee duel. Any other weapon breaks melee duel. I guess you are using “squeegee” item as a trigger to change faked melee weapon in hands. Well that will also break melee duel and currently I have no workaround up my sleeve. Will try some luck with HEXstuff, snooping in human_items.tbl file.

BTW we are yet to tackle another issue – what if we want melee weapons to be changed dynamically in a fight? On NPC side there are no problems, but player character has to be something diferent again and does not adjust animset immediately but has to go outside of close combat, switch animsets, enter close combat again. Now that will be something to solve…
