Fucking HUD elements

[Rezil]

It's 2 in the morning, I haven't slept well in days, I have a homework assignment due tomorrow night. So excuse the sloppy scripting.

My problem is this, I have the following code(supposed to be a working Blackjack - so far it only displays 4 cards on screen and does some basic math):

Code: Select all

//made by rezil, do not modify!

/* position can be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

pos 1: first card the player is dealt
pos 2: the second card the player is dealt
pos 3: if user hit, draw card here
pos 4: if user hit after pos 3, draw card here
pos 5; if user hit after pos 4, draw card here
*/

Now, I get the 'too many unique materials (1024)' engine error when trying to run this(triggering). I have 54 precached shaders but that shouldn't be a problem because cod2 can handle more than that(the shaders are precached in a seperate file, will post that if you need it as well).
If I display the cards and delete them after spawning(and undefing the values) it works fine. The problem is when I don't do that I get the error. Perhaps I did something wrong in the script or there are simply too many 2d images precached(unlikely).

Hope you guys provide some answers to this, me and IzNoGoD have been at it for hours to no avail.

[Drofder2004]

I suspect your precaches are hitting a major limit.
The 1024 is (to my knowledge) a matter of not only size but "text size". So the amount of characters must be less than 1024 (across all content).

Why not make 4 shaders (symbols) and then use the ingame text to simulate the card numbers?

It should not be hard to do using 5 text Placeholders and 5 symbol placeholders.

[Rezil]

Hm, I guess it would work that way as well. Although it wouldn't be nearly as nice to look at. I'll try to reduce the ammount of precached shaders and report back.

[Drofder2004]

Option2:
31 total precached

13 Red, 13 black numbers
4 suits (with full card)
1 card reverse side

Make sure everything is one/two letter longs (either use letters or "_1" etc)

[IzNoGoD]

Updated the script for you rez, but it still crashes.

Well, it's not as pretty and the black hidden card is not the final back image, but it works and that's what matters.

It seems the problem was in the back image of the card. I have no clue why it would make the game crash(the image is a power of two, compiled and converted without problems) but I'm happy that it at least works.

Even though there are more HUD elements in this version(4 white shaders + 2 shaders(value, suite) for each of the cards - 2 with alpha 0) it seems to work better than the first version. Insane.

[Moustache]

You can't use "black" as a shader? That is possible in CoD4.

I also made a Blackjack game
But I can't add extra images because this mod is added to promod.

It is on this server: 62.133.194.28:30081. You can check it out if you want

[Rezil]

It is the black shader, it's set to 72x96 so it resembles a card shape. The black is just temporary until I can find out what's wrong with the damn card image I used before.

[Moustache]

Hmm oke.

And if you only place your created card on the hud?
