Looking for means to list all weapons in a level

Post by Ocelot »

Since Azenera's (PCL) creator, Salix, is back at university and not readily available, and per Salix, all weapons used in Azenera haven't been cataloged, I'm looking for a means to do this.

There's supposed to be a "cheat" used in developer mode that does this, but when I follow the instructions below, I get a count of how many objects/sounds/effects are used (e.g. "4 - Switches;" or "1 - Particle Effect"). The cheat is as follows:

1) Enable developer mode in Riot Engine
2) After level loaded, type "\debug on" and Enter (no text appears after this, btw)
3) Type "\all weapons" and Enter
4) The objects/sounds/effects list for the level appears and stays on screen until one types "\debug off"

Obviously this "cheat" doesn't work, or I'm not executing it properly. The reason I want to get a list of all weapons in Azenera is because there's a particular sword (not the Leech, I know that one) with a specific name and characteristics that I want to take a closer look at (with the editor).

If anyone knows how to make the above debug mode command work to actually list all *weapons,* or an alternative means to list weapons--for instance, by using the editor (I'm just beginning to puzzle that thing out, so detailed instructions are a must--I would greatly appreciate a reply. Feel free to e-mail me at cat@eskimo.com.


Thanks in Advance --

Check his database within the editor. There probably is a made database file, K just had a look, Theres .odb files and .db files check them for any weapons. If you were looking to add a weapon to another lvl, you are making, the database file maybe linked to one of the many database common files he has made as well, and you would need both to get the weapon to work.[8D]

First off, Axe, thanks for the reply.

I wasn't sure how to gain access to the database files since the editor only opens up .lvl files, but with a little stumbling around, I found what I was looking for. (Man, just looking at the first level mapped out like this sure makes me wish that Salix would do one or two more levels to finish off the MOD. Azenera is an incredible piece of work!)

Thanks Again --
