Anyway, to make a plug-in so choosing teams/spec is a GUI LIKE CSS/DODS/TF2? join the server and you have to choose your model then you connect?

eh?

i've played on a server recently where you join and are immediatley placed into spectate, works very nicely
Anyone have any details about this plug-in (i forget the server ypou see :( )

PS - This way is different to how the pirates clan seem to do it..

My recent plugin does that. When you join you immediately go into spec, at no cost to you or the team ( if in team mode ).

@nino, no that's a client thing. You can't create screens from the server. Would make some admin functions easier, but oh well...

kandyman.eXcess has an eventscripts thing in his server for 1v1's, i think thats what you encountered pig.

It automatically puts ppl in spec when they join and match ends at 21, loser is moved to spec and winner stays on.

Yeah, dro used to use the spectate function of my headshot plugin. Don't know if he still does.

That was always fun to play...last man standing :D

could you two like work to make it a stand alone plugin without eventscripts?

That would be pretty tight m8.

As it is, i'm working on a match mode plugin. It will have several modes initially, with hopefully support for second server warmup reconnects.

it would be cool if you had it have commands and features like:

an adminlist, in which they can turn off or on the match.

commands such as:

kp_fraglimit x
kp_timelimit x

a count down timer that shows the time going down in the center of the screen.

a console menu


stuff like dat.

Speaking of joining upon connect:

I was thinking that it's a fact that people DO crash/disconnect during matches, and if you reconnect you currently end up as spectator. It would be very cool if you (keeper) could make it so that you're put in your team right away. Don't know if it's possible to do this via some kind of flag where any SteamID that were in a team upon match start will autojoin the correct team upon reconnect, whereas everyone else ends up as spectator? Or maybe anyone who via score restore has a score different from that of a spectator? That way it would work even if a player is replaced mid-game, and then this new player disconnects for whatever reason.

And yeah, I should probably have posted this in the keeper's plugin topic :D

edit: actually, I'll post this in a slightly expanded version in the released plugin forum.

Hey keeper, any thoughts on what I wrote in my post above? Maybe you didn't see it.

Keeper

Yeah, seen it. Just have been busy. I'll try to work on that this week. I had to upgrade my Visual Studio at work (for my mod work as well) and some things aren't Kosher :(

Ah, that's cool man. At least I know you saw my thoughts. And what I wrote in the released plugin topic is more appropriate: http://www.hl2dm-university.com/forum/p ... =54&t=2258 but I guess you've seen that too then :)

Hope things work out for you.
