Question GSC mod loading

[DropppITModz]

ok so i am wanting to see if it is possible to use my GSC menu to load other gsc mod menus, if so it is possible, i would very much greatly want to know how i can do this and what to do.

If you have a working source of the other menu, then yes.
But you'd be better off just remaking the design / options, since you'll eventually run into errors.

well im wanting to add a menu loader into my current menu im working on but i dont know how i would do this for gsc and ingame, kinda like Cod4 mod loading i guess, (even though i dont really know how that works soo..)

This is an advanced example of different menu bases utilizing the same menu. Perhaps looking at this source here might help you with what you want to do.

oh my, this is hella clever, but i was talking about actually loading menus with a gsc menu, but i will indeed make use of this...

Here, this is how I did it for loading patches..

Start off with sharks menu base (use it to change to other patches/game modes)

features:
- Fallens Surge menu base
- Tiny Menu base
- Your designs waw menu base
- when you're not in sharks patch go prone knife and aim to change back to sharks patch/default

im going to be fiddling around with this for a while xD this is pretty much exactly what i was looking for ill see what i can do, i want to figure out how to put menus to load in my main menu so this is great start.

 

[DropppITModz]

but what i want to know how exactly did these menus get loaded and what is calling for what

 

[DropppITModz]

oh **** i think i got it

 

[DropppITModz]

yea nope i have no clue what im doing what so ever. i will never be able to get this to work alone

 

[vampytwist]

I'll try make this as easy to understand as possible:

On game load, it checks the dvar "gametypez" if the dvar equals to any of the names defined in init() then it will load that patch/init instead of the default one which is sharks..

StartGameMode() is the function used to set the gametype/patch, see sharks.gsc on how it's used in a menu.

 

[vampytwist]

Create new script file in gsc studio, add the menu or patch/game mode to that new gsc file. Rename init, onplayerconnect and onplayerspawned.

Main.gsc -- On init()

if (GetDvar("gametypez") == "enter patch name here") level thread init_name_of_patch();

then call the function :

StartGameMode("enter patch name here");
menu example
self add_option("SubMenu1", "enter patch name here", ::StartGameMode, "enter patch name here");

 

[vampytwist]

Also you need to consider function names, some patches share a lot of the same names like submenu(), initmenu(), etc. etc. so you may have to do quite a bit of renaming/editing in order to get things to work smoothly I myself have ran into some issues to this when testing out different menus and patches.

You need to learn the language before jumping into this stuff.
Copy and pasting is going to get you nowhere.

 

[DropppITModz]

i dont know how you did it. i literally cannot get it to work. its impossible.

It's not impossible. Sit down before rushing into things and take the time to learn the language.

 

[DropppITModz]

im doing this to help me learn. this is me trying to help my self learn by experimenting around with it. but it just wont work.

 

[DropppITModz]

all im trying to know is how can i load my menu with a different menu. but i almost got it to work but it keeps giving me unkown errors and when it does work, it crashes my ps3 almost instantly when i go into the game.
