The bonus round can be a slap in the face when, after a long hard battle, defenceless losing players get gunned down, with no weapons to defend themselves!
Dog's Bonus Round plugin allows the losing team to hide, as they turn into random objects and try to blend in....hoping the winning team pass them by.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!

This is a conversion from my EventScripts plugin.

Servers running this plugin (http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=dog_bonus_round&type=variable)

Retsam has provided many additions and improvements to the plugin.

Installation

Copy dog_bonus_round.smx to addons/sourcemod/plugins

Configuration

sv_bonus_round_third_person <0 | 1> - default: 1

If enabled, players are given a third person view of themselves which can help them blend in, better.

Changelog
Version 1.07
SourceMod release.

Version 1.08
+ Fixed the bad ragdoll problem by making players return to the normal model if they get shot or killed.
+ Added 8 more models
+ Fixed a bug where dead players were included in the model change routine

Version 1.09
+Fixed a bug where players who get returned to their normal model, assume the "Jesus position". Players are given a pistol.

- Config is auto-created by plugin(plugin.propbonusround.cfg). Because of the cvars, this makes life a little easier.
- I removed some of his original models I did not like personally. These were some of the larger more obscene ones such as all the vehicles, boat, huge rock, large tree's etc... If its a problem, its fairly easy for someone to copy and paste from the original back. Just change the model count as well... The model count is now 26 instead of the orginal 33 if that matters.....
- Added many cvars for more control. Cvars to enable/disable plugin, to force thirdperson on players, enable client triggers, and removing models on hit. Note: By default, I have disabled removal of prop on hit and force thirdperson view. Some may want these enabled by default, so youd have to change them.
- Added cvar for client controlled SM triggers for thirdperson. The triggers only work on the losing team (props) and only during bonus round.
- Removed the code for stripping weapons. I think the reason for this was to make sure the weapons dont show up on prop'd players. Instead, I decided to make them invisible so you dont have to worry giving them back a 'pistol' when their model is set back. Also, if SM was old or offsets were ever changed before server could restart, that would crash the server.
- Various other small changes that arnt worth talking about......

Version 1.11

- I found a problem related to the regconsolecmd code in the plugin. Looks like it kept duplicating itself on map changes. My bad. It is now fixed, but you wont be able to change the triggers(not that you should be anyways) until a plugin-reload happens. Ill have to figure out a smarter way to recode that...
- Cleaned up a bit of unnecessary code.
- Added a centertext msg for model name.

Version 1.12

Hi INsane!

We've been running it for the last couple of days on our DoDSBeta linux server and it's been very stable

Dude I love it, how you made it go thirdperson. How are you able to do that? I've been looking for a plugin that allows you to go thirdperson by typing /thirdperson for sourcemod for awhile.

strontiumdog

06-05-2008, 13:43

The trouble with thirdperson is when you change observer mode, you can't change weapons...you keep your primary.
The crosshairs also remain but at least the gun shoots where the crosshairs are!

Another problem is with TF2. If you change observer mode, and then turn off the model drawing (to get rid of the gun on screen), the player model often disappears as well. It works better in DoDS and CSS.

This is why I was asking about trying to find the handle of a player in the Scripting forum.
In Eventscripts there is a command that lets you find the handle of a player. This is very useful as it tags which weapon belongs to which player. It is also useful when setting thirdperson so you set the observer target to the player handle.

As I'm relatively new to SourceMod, I was wondering if such a command existed...

Anyway, the bonus round plugin is a good application of third person...it's fun running down the street as a flowerpot, trying to find a hiding place and watching the enemy run past. As DoDS' bonus round only lasts 15 seconds, it adds a 15 secs of fun!

Very happy to see this as the ES version always caused me problems. I hope this one is smooth hehe.

One request, it would be awesome to be able to choose whether or not it goes to 3rd person or 1st person.

Thanks & GJ!

You mean per player?
Or as a variable for the server?

The server one is done (sv_bonus_round_third_person <1 or 0>) - but I could look at doing one per player....

One thing I should mention, is that DoDS is very unstable when changing models and is way less forgiving than CSS. I guess this may be the reason why model changing in TF2 is so hard.

Just as a reference, we run ours with SourceMod 1.1.0.2222 and I have to say I have been impressed with the stability of SM.

Try it without the third person and see if it helps.

In the meantime, I'll try and make my server crash!

I have no idea where those two models came from - they are not in the script ...lol

Most of the models in the script are selected for their stability. There are many other models that we have experimented with - for example I have memories of a whole army of toilets coming up the beach on Strand as I was testing...but the toilet model was unstable.

The bad edict is one I'll look at on a Windows server...

Mosalar

06-23-2008, 10:25

I have no idea where those two models came from - they are not in the script ...lol

Those two must be in the map and have nothing to do with this.. I never even checked, my bad.

strontiumdog

06-23-2008, 11:34

It's like I said earlier. It's a case of YMMV.
DoDS is (compared to CSS) a very unstable platform to script for. Changing the players' models is just asking for it. Other plugins may be messing with it. I know on our server, it's a basic SM setup with sm_dod_pistols and this one. I've seen a few of the 32 players servers out there, running this with no crashes at all...So it's very hard to debug!

The Eventscripts version is way more unstable than the SM one.

But I will go through the code and see if I need to set any other props. One thing that has always happened. When a transformed player gets shot, he disappears, since a table or a piano has no ragdoll. This may be part of the whole problem...
Maybe, on a player hurt event, the player's model could get changed back to what it was....

I ran the es version of this mod on my 2 linux servers for over 12 months without any probs before the new update. It has been the most popular plugin ever (thanks Dog) and so I was a bit worried it would be broken by the new DOD:s update. It isn't. I updated my eventscripts to version 2, reinstalled the plugin and hey presto - it's a ripper!!!!! Completely stable and the punters love it! The bonus round version I'm running is 1.07.

I'm gonna give this version a go instead, to see if there's any diff

BTW I run the es version 1.0.100 of dogs_pistols as well - works great :up:

strontiumdog

07-15-2008, 19:47

AFAIK it is still working really well.

Just as an FYI, Biggles, the SourceMod version seems to be more stable, but then YMMV!

B!ggles

07-17-2008, 17:52

Aarrghh! I think I've turned n00b. I can't get the SM version to work Dog and I think it's got something to do with the cvar - I reckon I haven't typed it in correctly in my autoexec.cfg file....

I know you have posted the config before but there are two in this forum and they are both different, one says <1 and the other says >1. Can you please post the correct one again so all I have to do is copy and paste to enable it?

Yeah I know, lame but I love this plugin and I want it to work :)

strontiumdog

07-17-2008, 20:13

Just add

sv_bonus_round_third_person 0

to your server.cfg!

Then drag the .smx into the sourcemod/plugins directory.

The beauty of SM over ES, is that there is no adding to autoexec.cfg. If it is in the plugins directory, it'll load up.

B!ggles

07-17-2008, 20:20

Thanks Dog :) I had it all correct apart from the 0. I'm gonna replace my pistols plugin too now that you have updated it. I took the ES version off my servers after the update and almost had a muntiny on my hands :grrr:

strontiumdog

07-17-2008, 20:28

:D

I started on SourceMod after ES went to Python and aWuh's ES_Tools stopped working on DoDS, even prior to the OrangeBox upgrade. I gave up because I had 20-something plugins that all had to be converted.

What I like about SourceMod is that is has always been Pawn (which I know from AMX plugins I used to write) and Pawn hasn't changed in syntax much.

So I feel bad for anyone wanting any of my plugins to run under ES, now, because they simply won't work. My fault for relying on ES_Tools....
I will never write a plugin that relies on a third party plugin, again.

It will be no problem.
It's in the Bonus Round, so when the new round restarts, all the weapons are reset anyway. Besides, the losers can't use the pistol anyway. It's just to stop them adopting the "Jesus position"

Ver 1.10:

I have recoded this plugin a bit. I just saw it recently and liked the plugin idea for the "lols" and thought it could use a little more functionality.

Changes in my 1.10:
- Config is auto-created by plugin(plugin.propbonusround.cfg). Because of the cvars, this makes life a little easier.

- I removed some of his original models I did not like personally. These were some of the larger more obscene ones such as all the vehicles, boat, huge rock, large tree's etc... If its a problem, its fairly easy for someone to copy and paste from the original back. Just change the model count as well... The model count is now 26 instead of the orginal 33 if that matters.....

- Added many cvars for more control. Cvars to enable/disable plugin, to force thirdperson on players, enable client triggers, and removing models on hit. Note: By default, I have disabled removal of prop on hit and force thirdperson view. Some may want these enabled by default, so youd have to change them.

- Added cvar for client controlled SM triggers for thirdperson. The triggers only work on the losing team (props) and only during bonus round.

- Removed the code for stripping weapons. I think the reason for this was to make sure the weapons dont show up on prop'd players. Instead, I decided to make them invisible so you dont have to worry giving them back a 'pistol' when their model is set back. Also, if SM was old or offsets were ever changed before server could restart, that would crash the server.

- Various other small changes that arnt worth talking about......

PS: I have not tested this on a full working server yet, hopefully its good to go.

hi i have problem with this one .. i want 3rd person after round is over but always players are 1st person till they type "!third " i try add sv_bonus_round_third_person "1" to my server.cfg but nothing happens. some advice?

retsam

06-01-2010, 14:25

Youd put sm_propbonus_forcethird "1". The cvar is in its config already too, you shouldnt be messing with the server.cfg.

sv_bonus_round_third_person "1" was from Dogs older version. If youre using my version, thats gone.. Its sm_propbonus_forcethird "1" to force thirdperson on them in bonus round. sm_propbonus_allowtriggers "1" to allow triggers for clients.

This plugin probably needs a quick update too. I notice a couple things that need fixing.

garfin

02-03-2014, 21:01

Plugin works well except for a minor bug.....Sometimes the third person view is from a location nowhere near your model and you can't see it to control it.

Also, another modification would be to make the winning team change to objects instead so that the losing team is being hunted down by boxes, pianos etc... How could that be done ?
