some questions about modmaking

[pipje2001]

I just started trying to make my own mod, but i have absolutely no experience with modding for any game. I do know the basics of python so that shouldn't be a big problem. So far i tried to follow this short tutorial https://bitbucket.org/_vb_/wot.mods/wiki/GettingStarted with the help of google translate.

 

# -*- coding: utf-8-sig -*-

import BigWorld
from gui import SystemMessages
from Account import Account

#file for using philips hue in python
from mod_phue import Bridge

#some stuff needed for philips hue
b = Bridge('192.168.1.101')
listOfLight = b.lights

def hello(self):

    parent(self)

    SystemMessages.pushMessage('Hello WoT!', type=SystemMessages.SM_TYPE.Warning)

    #sets the ligt red
    b.set_light(4, 'xy', [0.1938, 0.6821], transitiontime=10)
    b.set_light(5, 'xy', [0.1938, 0.6821], transitiontime=10)

    #sets the ligt on max brightness
    b.set_light(4, 'bri', 254, transitiontime=10)
    b.set_light(5, 'bri', 254, transitiontime=10)
    
    Account.onBecomePlayer = parent


parent = Account.onBecomePlayer

Account.onBecomePlayer = hello

with some modifications i got the lights to change to red and on max brightness, so it is possible to control the lights with a mod, but i am trying to make the lights flash when i get hit. But i guess i have to use onHealthChanged but i have no idea how.

 

If somebody could help me it would be appreciated

Like this:

from Vehicle import Vehicle
from random import randint
from time import sleep

def _set_brightness(value):
    b.set_light(4, 'bri', value, transitiontime=10)
    b.set_light(5, 'bri', value, transitiontime=10)

def new_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID):
    old_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID)
    
    if not self.isPlayerVehicle:
        return
    
    #make light randomly flashes for 10 times
    for _ in range(10):
        _set_brightness(randint(0, 254))
        sleep(0.1)
    
    #restore brightness to default
    _set_brightness(254)

old_onHealthChanged = Vehicle.onHealthChanged
Vehicle.onHealthChanged = new_onHealthChanged

@Kotyarko_O Awesome, that really helped me, although i still have some more questions though. is it possible to get the currunt hp and max hp of the tank you are playing at that moment? and is there somewhere where i can find information about an ingame settings window for my own mod? like some populair mods have?

Sure:

from BigWorld import player
from PlayerEvents import g_playerEvents
from Vehicle import Vehicle

maxHp = None
curHp = None

def setMaxHp():
    global maxHp
    plVeh = player().getVehicleAttached()
    maxHp = plVeh.typeDescriptor.maxHealth

def new_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID):
    old_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID)
    
    if not self.isPlayerVehicle:
        return
    
    global curHp
    curHp = newHealth

def reset():
    global maxHp, curHp
    maxHp = None
    curHp = None

g_playerEvents.onAvatarBecomePlayer += setMaxHp
#
old_onHealthChanged = Vehicle.onHealthChanged
Vehicle.onHealthChanged = new_onHealthChanged
#
g_playerEvents.onAvatarBecomeNonPlayer += reset

May be mistakes\errors, didn`t test it.

I looked trough the links you send but i dont understand shit about how it works XD, for example if i want to set the ip of the bridge in the game.

b = Bridge('192.168.1.101')

what would i need to make this possible?

 

And how do you get the playerid of the player which i am playing with? never mind already found it (BigWorld.player().playerVehicleID)

@Kotyarko_O  the code you send doesn't seem to be working, although i changed some of it i can't find what is wrong

import BigWorld
from PlayerEvents import g_playerEvents
from Vehicle import Vehicle
from random import randint
import time
import threading

#file for using philips hue in python
from mod_phue import Bridge

#some stuff needed for philips hue
b = Bridge('192.168.1.101')
listOfLight = b.lights

maxHp = None
curHp = None

def DamageRecievedSmall():
    b.set_light(4, 'xy', [0.678, 0.3168], transitiontime=0)
    b.set_light(4, 'bri', 254, transitiontime=0)
    
    time.sleep(0.2)

    b.set_light(4, 'bri', 0, transitiontime=3)

    print("DRS_Done")

def DamageRecievedLarge():
    b.set_light(4, 'xy', [0.678, 0.3168], transitiontime=0)
    b.set_light(4, 'bri', 254, transitiontime=0)
    
    time.sleep(0.6)

    b.set_light(4, 'bri', 0, transitiontime=3)

    print("DRL_Done")

def setMaxHp():
    global maxHp
    plVeh = BigWorld.player().getVehicleAttached()
    maxHp = plVeh.typeDescriptor.maxHealth



def new_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID):
    old_onHealthChanged(self, newHealth, attackerID, attackReasonID)

    print(attackerID)
    print(attackReasonID)

    if not self.isPlayerVehicle:
        if attackerID != BigWorld.player().playerVehicleID:
            return
    
    global curHp
    curHp = newHealth

    # if attackerID == BigWorld.player().playerVehicleID:
    #     t3 = threading.Thread(target=hue3)
    #     t4 = threading.Thread(target=hue4)

    if attackerID != BigWorld.player().playerVehicleID:

        if curHp/maxHp <= 0.2:
            DRS = threading.Thread(target=DamageRecievedSmall)
            if DRS.isAlive()==False:
                DRS.start()
                print("DRS_Start")
        if curHp/maxHp > 0.2:

@pipje2001, any errors in python.log?

@Kotyarko_Oo i see i forgot to add them

My bad. Try to use "onAvatarReady" instead of "onAvatarBecomePlayer".

[pipje2001]

@Kotyarko_O and what about the 

onAvatarBecomeNonPlayer

[Kotyarko_O]

onAvatarBecomeNonPlayer

It`s ok. This is "leave battle" event.

[pipje2001]

@Kotyarko_O Awesome, i got one more problem though, i try to run this code in a loop:

def LowHp():
    while curHp > 0:
        b.set_light(1, 'xy', [0.678, 0.3168], transitiontime=0)
        b.set_light(1, 'bri', 254, transitiontime=10)

        time.sleep(1)

        b.set_light(1, 'bri', 0, transitiontime=10)

        time.sleep(1)
    
    print("LH_Done")

But i only want this function to run once at a time so i use this method to check if the tread is already running but it "forgets" that its running so the next time i get shot it just runs it again which kinda breaks my lights XD

 

if fcurHp/fmaxHp <= 0.1:
	LH = threading.Thread(target=LowHp)
	print(LH.is_alive())
	if not LH.is_alive():
    	LH.start()
    	print("LH_Start")

 

mod_hello.py

Because every time you get damaged in this condition (fcurHp/fmaxHp <= 0.1), you create another thread and checks it.

First of all, "LH" must be a global var. So the code must be like:

LH = None

...

if fcurHp/fmaxHp <= 0.1:
    global LH
    if not (LH and LH.is_alive()):
        LH = threading.Thread(target=LowHp)
        LH.start()
        print("LH_Start")

@Kotyarko_O Thanks, that did the trick, do you mind if i ask you some more questions? 

- how do you know if the tank is on fire?

- how do you know if modules are hit? and which module is hit?

- and how can you make a settings window in the game?

 

I tried to search for answers but because most stuff is in russian searching is kinda difficult

from gui.Scaleform.daapi.view.meta.DamagePanelMeta import DamagePanelMeta

isVehInFire = False

old_setFireInVehicleS = DamagePanelMeta.as_setFireInVehicleS

def new_setFireInVehicleS(self, isInFire):
    global isVehInFire
    isVehInFire = isInFire

DamagePanelMeta.as_setFireInVehicleS = new_setFireInVehicleS

@Kotyarko_O I tried using https://bitbucket.org/The_IzeBerg/modssettingsapi/src and https://bitbucket.org/P0LIR0ID/wot-modslist/src/ce1e5c1d2662?at=master, but i can't find where the settings are saved and how is can access them from my own mod...  

for example i want to be able to set the ip adress of the hub in the settings menu, but i have no idea how

mod_hello.py

mod_modsettings.py

[pipje2001]

@Kotyarko_O still don't understand it though, how do i get the value from the textinput into my own mod? and how can i run a function in my mod when i press apply in the settings menu?

When apply button pressed, event "onModSettingsChanged" is performed. In thatfunction you can do what you need to do. For example:

def onModSettingsChanged(linkage, newSettings):    
    if linkage == modLinkage:
        setNewSettings(newSettings)

def setNewSettings(settings):
    print settings['textInput']

I`m not sure that "settings['textInput']" is correct. You need to test it. I don`t know what exactly contains "newSettings"-argument.
