PlayerState_s

[Rawing]

In the comment for PlayerState_s it says, you can't modify it without modifying msg.c too. Can anyone tell me where msg.c is located?? I can't find it in the QuakeIIIArena folder.

It's in the engine source-code (quake3.exe). In general, if you're just making a mod, you cannot add/change the items in playerState_t.

That's kinda bad However, I'll add something to MAX_STATS, but that doesn't really help alot.

[AnthonyJ]

You cannot increase MAX_STATS either, as that will change the size of the ps.stats[] array, and you won't have recompiled the engine with the update.

I've added STAT_PLAYERHEAL, STAT_MEDKITS and STAT_FALLINGDAMAGE till now and all three work perfectly

Yep, you can add a few extra stats to the enum (but no more than eight or nine or you'll overflow the stats[] array).

[Rawing]

Yeah, I've seen that it mustn't go over 16 fields...
Anyone here already manipulated msg.c? I've tried some exe unpackers but no one worked till now... Do you know one that works for quake3.exe?

No, you need to build quake3.exe from the source-code - eg the official 1.32b GPL'd source-code release from id, or the updated version from ioquake3.

Note that if you simply want to up the MAX_STATS constant and rebuild quake3.exe with the updated code (so that you can have up to 32 stats), you'll probably want my patch to msg.c (which is in ioquake3).

It was all hard-coded? Sloppy, Id, sloppy!
