[TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

:3 [TF2] Dodgeball (1.0) :3
by Damizean, based on Voogru's mod

What's this?
A game mode inspired in the classic Dodgeball. On this mode, all classes except the Pyro are disabled and the respawn is limited to the same rules as the Arena game mode. Each Dodgeball map has a set of spawn points from where rocket projectiles are fired. These projectiles are designed to follow a target player until the player is killed or the rocket has been deflected.

Based on Voogru's original plugin and similar to Asherkin's plugin, I tried to design this one as flexible as possible without having to mess with the plugin's code.

All the parameters of the rocket classes are fully configurable: model, sounds, speed, damage, turn rate, etc.
Each rocket uses a small events system wich can be used to extend the functionality of the rockets by the execution of custom commands, so if you can write Sourcemod plugins, you can easily extend the functionality of the rockets.
You can independently setup the spawn points by defining their full target name, in case you want an specific spawn point to have a different spawn chances table.

The configuration included with the plugin contains a base rocket setup and a sample nuke rocket type (along with the model and it's 3DS Max source).

Changelog

1.0
- Initial release.

TODO

Extend functionality so map makers can enable/disable spawn points through the entities User Outputs.

How do I install it?
Place the files in the zip on the correct folders:

The files placed at the gameserver folder should be placed your game server.
The files placed at the fastdownload folder should be placed in your fast download server.

Remember, this plugin will activate itself only on maps that are prefixed as tfdb_, as long as the tf_dodgeball_enabled cvar is set to 1.

Cvars
Some basic cvars are included, but most of the parameter settings is done through the configuration file.

tf_dodgeball_version - Version of the plugin.
tf_dodgeball_enabled <0/1> - Is the plugin enabled?
tf_dodgeball_enablecfg <path> - Config file to be executed when enabling the game mode. Default: sourcemod/dodgeball_enable.cfg
tf_dodgeball_disablecfg <path> - Config file to be executed when disabling the game mode. Default: sourcemod/dodgeball_disable.cfg

Config Files
In order to setup the settings of the game mode, the plugin looks for a configuration file, wich should be located at /addons/sourcemod/configs/dodgeball/general.cfg. It contains the general settings, rocket classes and spawn point classes to be used in all the maps. In addition to this one, the plugin will try to look for a map specific configuration file, located at /addons/sourcemod/configs/dodgeball/<map name>.cfg, in wich you can override the default settings or even add new map-specific rocket classes.

The meaning of every parameter of the configuration file is explained on the file itself. The example configuration file is the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
// -------------------------------------------------------
// Events
// -------------------------------------------------------
// 
// In order to further customize the rocket types, you can
// set a command to be executed when a certain event happens
// with a dodgeball rocket.
//
// The events that are right now implemented are the following:
//
// on spawn- When a rocket spawns.
// on deflect- A client has deflected a rocket.
// on kill- One of the rockets has killed the client.
// on explode- Same as on kill, only triggered once.
//
// The possible parameters passed for the commands are the following.
//
// @name         - Name of the projectile type
// @rocket       - Rocket entity index
// @owner        - Owner client userid
// @target       - Target client userid
// @dead         - Last dead client
// @speed        - Speed of the rocket
// @deflections  - Number of rocket deflections
// 
// -------------------------------------------------------
// Commands
// -------------------------------------------------------
//
// For using with the events system, the plugin has two useful
// commands if you want to make kickass explosion blasts.
//
// tf_dodgeball_explosion <client>
// Shows a huge explosion at the location of the specified client.
//
// tf_dodgeball_shockwave <client> <damage> <force> <radius> <falloff>
// Wich applies a huge shockwave at the location of the client.
//
// If you are able to write plugins, you can include your custom
// commands too!

Resource files
The plugin implements a resources precacher like the one in the Equipment Manager plugin. The sound files will be automatically precached and added to the download list, and for each model file the plugin will automatically search for a .res file with the same name, in wich every line is a dependency for the model.

For example, with the model called "nuke.mdl", the plugin will search for a file called "nuke.mdl.res". It'll precache and add to the downloads table all the files listed on it:

Code:

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_blu.vmt

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_blu.vtf

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_red.vmt

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_red.vtf

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_neutral.vmt

materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_neutral.vtf

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.dx80.vtx

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.dx90.vtx

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.mdl

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.phy

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.sw.vtx

models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.vvd

Remember! Set the proper whitelist entries if you're going to use the nuke on a pure server! The locations of the files are the ones listed above.

Reserved for future usage.

Re: [TF2] Dodgeball (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Been using this for quite the while - it's perfect, much better than the one requiring extensions. It's flexible and modificationable with a single config file. Just perfect. A million thumbs up.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

OOH I'm having huge problems with the other dodgeball plugin. Damizean, you are once again my saviour.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

not working for me ...

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

ummm... the map link in that other thread is dead

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

It seems that sometimes you don't have unlimited ammo to airblast with, could you make it auto detect when to change the burstammo cvar?

Edit: It looks like it takes a liking to one player, instead of going to a random person after reflecting.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

i really wan tto test this but i dont have a map for it.. would someone be kind enough to link me one... from their fast dl server or some thing...

thanx in advance

edit: ok, i found a couple... seems to work alright as far as i could test alone with a bot... however, it seems to me that it should reset the round when a second player joins... right now if 1 player is in there the round never ends so other players that join after the round starts cannot spawn and their is nothing to kill the lone player so it is infinite... joining players get frustrated and leave...
maybe if it let joining players spawn into the game right away rather than making them wait for the next round...

edit2: upon further testing it appears to have been a conflict with an old respawn plugin i had fogotten was there... works well now except for some lag spikes... i will peruse the error logs later on when i have more time and post anything i think is pertinent... till then, Thank You for this excellent plugin!!!

I'd have to disagree with this suggestion, the only time you'd really need ammo is if you spamblast other players, which really shouldn't be encouraged. Once someone dies they drop ammo anyway so you're never at a loss unless you spam it away.

I've noticed this too. Kinda like a dual where it keeps going back and forth two players.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

The airblast ammo thing was the only thing that we ran into when using this.

Sorry for the late responses.

Can you be more accurate? What is not working? It's packed so installing is just deploying the files, so it should work out of the box without doing anything special.

The plugin executes a .cfg file when activating/deactivating the Dodgeball game mode. You could change the tf_flamethrower_burstammo in there (and it does in the provided cfg file), as well as any class restriction or respawn plugin (yeah, this is important).

As for taking liking of one player, the target selection is done with a random number to wich a modifier is applied using the direction the player's looking at when deflecting. There may be occasions where the RNG isn't very random, hence it keeps going back and forth for those players.

If you want to do it purely random, set to 0 the "direction to target weight" parameter. If you want to do it purely based on the direction the rocket has been deflected, set the parameter to some really big value (1000, for example)

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Any known plugins it is not compatible with,
Im running the latest prophunt, as well as rmf, besides those the servers pritty vanilla.
Installed dodgeball correctly, is working but clients are being kicked by console at random times.
Btw installed rmf after i had encountered the problem.
Cheers

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

It should have the same compatibility issues as asherkin's plugin: Class restriction and Fast Respawn plugins.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

cheers
not sure what Ive done wrong then.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Thanks for the wonderful plugin, this allows us to integrate dodgeball into our default map selection without interfering with other game modes. Just a heads up the disable config sets that burst ammo cost to 25 when the default is 20 now. Other than that small fix this thing has worked 100% without any problems whatsoever. :mrgreen:

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

ok, after extensive playtesting here are the issues we found... there is a small lag spike after rocket spawn about 1/2 the time... not severe... just a hiccup...
there is a serious shortage of maps that will work with this... we tried a dozen or more and only found four that let you play... most of the ones in asherkin's thread make console kick you at round start...
this leads to biggest bug... console randomly kicks clients during the game... no error is logged and my anticheat isnt responsible (there would be a log). this is very annoying as it will usually cost the player who was kicked's team to lose the round...

As for the lag spike on spawn, I never got any of that but I'll try to see if there's any critical stuff that's making the lag spike. If you mean the small artifact with the trail particles on spawn, then that's normal :3

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

no, the rockets just l;ag out and teleport a bit right after they spawn, but it rarely causes any gameplay issues as they seem to mostly fly smoothly after that

ima look for the kick issue... clients get "kicked by console" message, but no record is made... its strange... ill play with it and post back if i figure it out...

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

edit: i dont think those are doing it... idlemaxtime is 2 minutes, idledealmethod is just move to spec, and timeout is 900 seconds...

however i am gonna dissable the whole mess of them and see if it clears up...

edit1: DOH!!! sorry... did not mean to dp... typed in wrong box... <facepalm>

edit2: also, a small request... i think it would be cool if we had the option to force players onto a team and into the game... with automated team balancing and only 1 available class to play, these steps are kind of pointless on the way into the game... however this is also a nominal issue so if it is difficult or you dont have the time foget i mentioned it.. :) thank you for your efforts and support so far... this is a great mod!

edit3: seems that the console kicks everyone out of the map at the beginning on all maps that do not use the arena splash screen where you click on the "fight" door... if the map lets you go straight to class selection screen or into play the console kicks you.... if the map makes you click the door to get to class selection screen then the console does not kick you... i think you may have been correct about the idle time cvars... i commented them out and i have not been randomly kicked again, but only time will really tell...

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

The Plugin is very VERY unstable. Graphic Errors and what not. I dunno if i have a bad config but everything is just like bugged. Server spikes every 2 minutes. : /

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

it is working well now for me... read what i said earlier about what does and does not work with it... the plugin is solid, but has a few quirks yet... the author is working to correct the lag spike that happens at the first rocket spawn, but other than that one it run smoothly for me... biggest issues i have found were related to maps that should be, but are not compatible... find good maps and it works really well

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

kk thx

2 Questions:

1. How do i make it so it works like arena where people die once and it's done and the round ends and a new round starts similar to v's servers?
2. How do i fix it so that the compression blast is bigger and fatter so you don't have to look directly into the rocket to compress it?

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

1. you must disable all things that control respawn (including premium accounts and such) then if you r using a correctly made map it should just work

2. ... i have no idea...

edit: i can confirm that these al work well with tis plugin so if you are using any of the below maps, the problem is in your setup

tfdb_castle
tfdb_tennis
tfdb_dream_island_b2
tfdb_mechanicus_rc1
tfdb_harvest_event_a4

Hai

Fix your FastDL and disable all class restriction and respawn plugins.

Thanks.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Where can I find theses maps? Every source I find points to the same server which is down.

tfdb_dream_island_b2
tfdb_mechanicus_rc1
tfdb_harvest_event_a4

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

I've never had problems with this plugin. If you're having troubles with it then you need to have more control of which plugins you're running alongside.

@r3dw3r3w0lf: you're rather known for having issues with... every plugin out there fgfdg
make sure to follow the install instructions because this is a very stable plugin

One small bug I noticed, that I think is to blame on the maps. The rockets spawn straight down.. I have overcome this by adjusting their turn rate. So they can turn before they hit the ground. I was wondering if there was another way to get the rockets to launch out instead of down?

Feature request:
Admin menu for adjusting rocket variables on the fly.
More random selection of targets. ( I set weight to zero testing that now)

Again. This is far superior to the other dodgeball plugin. And as of right now is working flawless. You the man!

Only issue I have with it so far is nukes say "Error!" in a pulsating red but at the same time it kind of looks like its supposed to be like that.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

kk lemme rephraise what i've seen so far.

1. When you hold down primary fire, you get crits, the glitch occurs in it. Rather normal, not saying this is a bad thing but it happens more often then normal.

2. The Rocket sometimes goes through the walls when it's fired so it just keeps doing that, just reload the map to fix it.

3. For some reason, when i aim at the rocket, i have point RIGHT towards it where in voogru's server, your compression blast feels open like you don't see it coming but you still right click if it's in the compression blast and it fires back.

Besides those, good plugin. I know i do have problems with plugins sometimes but that's because i like to make sure things are perfect and most of the time, when i think something is like this, it's actually like this.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Any cvars in my server.cfg or autoexec.cfg i should remove or add?

Add the nuke model to your fastdl

It didn't do anything, this is what I have.

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

you need to push those models out to your download server... the client is not getting the nuke model

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

that's not a fastdl lol

are you running a local server or a dedicated server?

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

Dedicated (HLDS one) at home since I have enough upstream for my # of players. I wonder if its possible to run a HTTP server on the same machine capped to a certain bandwidth to act as the fastdl as this limit Valve put in it stupid, 128Kbps to everyone including myself thats connected locally. :|

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

1. Is there a way to change the cfg settings and not have to turn off/on the map to see the effect each time?

Re: [TF2] Yet Another Dodgeball Plugin (1.0) - 08/05/2010

1. Is it possible to disable the weapon restrict. I notice that i am restricted to my flamethrower and can't switch to my melee or shotgun. Can you make an option to disable or enable this?

2. I notice that the nukes don't orbit well. I tried the lowest turn rate settings and still does not orbit around me while i stand still. I tried to increase the nuke speed but when it begins to orbit, it slows down and makes sharp turns in order to hit me. Can you allow an option to disable this or something.

3. Overall this plugin is much better than the other one.
