Primarily in case of client-side mods or settings that affect stock Admin voice clips. They may not be too common, but if they are there they can ruin things a bit IMO.

She does work differently a bit from EP’s though because of her more defensive capabilities (no revolver, but can disguise on backstab).

Interesting config. Looking forward to a full release.

Recently I've been having a problem where when no admins are on, the boss and two other players will just sit around and the round will go on forever.
I just edited the code to make it start at 3 players, but for some reason once the boss hits 2000 HP the countdown goes away despite me changing the lines in the code from 200 to 20. I'm going to attempt to troubleshoot this (I know nothing about Sourcepawn) but I would love to see a way in the future to set how many players are needed for the countdown timer to start without having to edit the code.

Yeah, in the case of changed material files, this is what is troubling me... what happens to all the folks that have the earlier version (downloaded original material files) and now the server changes to new material files. Do we get the case like with maps if not the same version (same checksum) - does everyone get a file mismatch error?

I saw someone had ff2/vsh server with randomizer...anyone try this? stable?

Hey, this will be probably my first boss submission, but here it is:

Spyper
Originally created by Minifett



Abilities:
Teleport to a random player (Crouch, look up)
Invisibility Watch (Mouse2)

Rage:
Teleports to a random player, stuns players and sentries around and gives a revolver with 5 shots.

Here's a small demonstration vid:

The concept for Spyper goes to Minifett. The model was "made" by me.

Please post your opinions on him! He's been successfully tested on our gameserver by players.
This is also my first boss submission to the public So, tell me if I did something wrong, I'll try to do it better next time.

Just switch them (to melee) to be able to attack. The concept for Spyper goes to Minifett. The model was "made" by me.

Switch the weapons around and it shouldn't be bugged anymore.

  "weapon1"
    {
        "name" "tf_weapon_invis"
        "index" "30"
    }
    "weapon2"
    {
        "name"    "tf_weapon_club"
        "index"    "3"
        "attributes" "258 ; 1"
    }

Should fix it.

Okay, thanks for the help, I'll update that right away.

Found another thing, go into addons and change Freak Fortress 2 to Freak_Fortress_2

Otherwise everybody will have to do this manually.
