Ready Up Lite

Test Server
I have a test server set up, and it is currently running two of my custom plugins:
Friendly-Fire Lite v0.2
Ready Up Lite v0.8a

You can connect to it here: rankedupl4d2rpg.game.nfoservers.com:27015
Here you can play around with the plugins and provide feedback that I can use for future updates.
Or, you can simply choose to play there if you wish.


Description
This plugin provides a ready up system similar to l4d2ReadyUp, but with minimal extras, and in a
compact, new look.

It provides a simple panel to show who is still connecting, who is ready, who isn't, and who is
spectating and allows players to switch between ready and not ready through the menu.



There are no chat commands - toggling ready or not ready is done entirely through the panel!




This plugin doesn't restart the map or restart rounds. While players are loading, and during ready up, all
players are frozen in place, to prevent early starting. This is also set to only occur at the start of a map
and between rounds.

Competition Mode:
- Two random grenade types randomly given to two survivors when the ready up period ends (first round).
The two same grenade types randomly given to two survivors when the ready up period ends (second round).
- All defibrillators, medical packs, and grenade launchers are removed from the map when the ready up period ends.
- Grenades can be passed to a different survivor by shoving them, if they don't have a grenade. (competition mode only)
- All survivors receive pain pills when ready up ends.
- Ready Up period before second round is enforced.

Hello,

thanks !

[Skyy]

Oui, mes plans est de creer une traduction a cet effet. J'ai attendu parce que je voulais voir si populaire. Parce que vous demandez, je ajouter une traduction dans prochaine mise a jour.

A question:
Ready To Change > allows players to change their status by writing ready in chat?

the system include:

    !ready - change player status to "readied up" (when all 8 players are ready the round will start)
    !unready - change player status to "not ready" (if going AFK or want to abort live countdown)
    !reready - ask for a ready-up period at the end of the first half (usually the second half will be live right away)

would be nice.

Sorry, I can not code so I do not understand exactly how your plugin works ...

There is no need for more in my opinion

[Skyy]

!ready toggles their state, so multiple commands are not needed, as well as players can just use the menu command to change their ready state. I didn't put a reready state in since this plugins purpose is really to prevent players from bolting out before everyone loads. During the second half, I don't really see a reason to have a ready up period, and it would be something that everyone would have to vote on mid-game, but I may add the feature. The goal is to keep this plugin small and simple.

Edit: No, if there is a live countdown, the ready up period will end even if a player is AFK. If you don't want that, you have to disable the live countdown as it states in the config.

[eric0279]

thanks for answer ! Nice.

[Sev]

Should probably add no friendly fire while ready up is in play otherwise easy griefing.

[eric0279]

Yes it would be very appreciated!

Until the players have not put their status on loan then we disable friendly fire to prevent players play at TK.

[Skyy]

Yes, I will post another update to address these requests shortly.

[WolfGang]

Probably have a timer and print it to chat to see who haven't typed /ready.
