sb_omen_v2 Artifact Locator

In 1 collection by HungarianPatriot

Description
An E2 chip and the attached EGP HUD, that can help you find the four artifacts on the map sb_omen_v2. This device is useless and won't work on any other maps.

After pasting, you need to press use on the EGP to see the markers.

By default, the distance to the artifacts is measured in meters and rounded to the nearest integer. You can modify both the unit of measurement, and the amount of decimals to round to by setting the E2's "Unit" and "Decimals" variables respectively, in lines 27 and 29.

Obviously, you must have Wiremod to use this device.

@HungarianPatriot ah yeah, im not the best with e2 and didnt understand that part i guess. thanks man, and also good job with the E2 that thing has made me a hero when the artifacts go missing like when someone steals them and hides them or if they fall to the bottom of the map.

The find algorithms are completely different. For this locator, I find map objects of the specific type. This type includes artifacts, but also garbage like floating ice on Neptune, or the two statues in the Mars catacombs. Then the E2 checks the physical dimensions of the found objects, and filters out those that do not have the size of the artifacts. The artifacts are very slightly differently sized, the E2 uses these differences to identify which is which. More importantly, the artifacts are located only once.

Finding players is actually much simpler, you make a list of them upon placing the E2, then update that list every time someone connects or disconnects. You remove yourself from the list so you won't see a marker on yourself, you add data like HP and armor, and make sure that markers are not visible over dead players. Basically, that's it.

@hungarianPartiot ah yeah, this cod ewas so well built and its hard to find anything like the egp and e2 together that marks things onscreen, i have something similar i just wanted the nice targeting look, also im not 100% sure but i think you can just change it from finding artifacts and just changing that to find players.

Nah. This thing is totally different from a player marker, it'd be easier to make a new E2 from scrach than to modify this one. Maybe I'll make it some day, but I'm not a big fan of uploading things that can be used in PvP.

hey do you think you could modify the code to instead of tracking artifacts they track players?

As far as I know, no way to duplicate them, as they are map objects, and not simple props. This also made finding them rather difficult, as you can see in the E2 code.

Besides, where's the fun in cheating?

Alright, cool. Any way to duplicate them or anything? I'm having a hard time trying to get the one on Mars(?) out of the weird maze-thing.

You bring them to Earth (the starting planet, where the screenshot was made), and place them in the Combine Thumper-like machine's 4 corners. From the screenshot's point of view, the machine is to the right and slightly to the back, at 4 or 5 o'clock, about 30 meters away. Once all 4 are placed, the machine can be turned on, which will activate a teleporter right above Earth, in space. Enter the teleport, I won't spoil the rest, although it's not a big deal.

Once I find the Artifacts, what do I DO with them?
