Nice job :3

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Awesome Extension, Thanks!

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

This is a saviour for a lot of servers on HL2DM :)

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Detours are fun :3

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

asherkin you are my hero! This is by far the most important plugin on my new coop server. Not only does it give me access to twice as many maps as I would have otherwise, now mappers have no reason to leave zombies out of their 'Ravenholm' map.

You've changed the game. Thanks : )

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

HL2 DM is still alive? :D :D :P

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Would there be any way to get this to work with the SourceForts mod? The plugin fails to load when I try it with my SF server.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

It's not the same crash in SourceForts, SourceForts is already patched to fix this crash.
If I get a chance I can try and find out what the issue is, but it may not be for a while.

Hello
 

Wow, All of these extensions are wonderful. I downloaded this and put it in the scripts folder, I still get error signs for zombies. I have 5 with the .5 patch. :)

Re: Hello
 

This post got lost in the database crash, so reposting it.
Not sure if this is just not being accurate or a lack of understanding.
Just in case, this is meant to go in addons/sourcemod, so that zombiefix.ext.1.ep1.dll ends up in addons/sourcemod/extensions.
Also, this isn't meant to fix any errors or other crashes, just one specific crash related to the idle sounds.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

And you can do the same thing but under Windows 2000?
In windose 2000 does not function "EncodePointer".

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Update today will have stopped this working.
It is unknown as of this time if it is still required.
If time permits, update will be made 48 hours from this post if it is still needed.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Yeah, we will be needing it.

edit (on reflection): Thanks for the update Valve.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Should be working now.
Redownload.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

thx

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Yep all working now Asherin, TY.

BUTTTT they didnt had the FastZombie....Do you think you'll be able to fix that???? I found the CPP file but dont know what to do with it...

And by the way I found a way to spawn the zombies were I want and by troups, with points and Fade_corpse On..... Just like in Phoneburnia....

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Awesome speed asherkin, Thanks.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

thanks asherkin, speedy fix!

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

so...this just removes all zombies on maps... i was hoping when i saw the title that it would actually fix the zombie problem and make it so you can play with zombies...

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

No, you have that backwards.

This prevents spawning zombies causing Windows servers to crash allowing you to use them for the first time ever.

This is the extension you want.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Hey asherkin, are you still considering fixing the vortigaunts aiming issuse?.

Right now that seems to be the biggest threat to Half-Life 2: Deathmatch's cooperative gaming field.

Well at least for Windows, Linux servers still have a ton of issuse. Hehe

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

We were asked not to post feature requests, however, just in case someone is working on a fix:

http://www.mayhemgamingonline.com/in...id=12&id=11288

Tesla-x4 has found the function parameter and exact bit which needs to change.

When I tried this hack it highlighted the next problem with the Vorts: When you orb them they dissolve without ragdolling so they can still kill you. They can also get you through meshes which they couldn't before.

Its funny how the main complaint people have is about not being killed easily enough, bet that would change quick. lol.

Hopefully someone is working on these issues (Valve?) Otherwise, give me an open ended amount of time I'll learn cpp, signature scanning, Metamod scripting and I'll see what I can do.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Updated for today's engine update.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Is there a problem with the old version? Its running for me just fine.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

This does not appear to work anymore after the 4/19/2012 update. It shows the extension as loaded, it just doesn't do anything anymore..

I tried with sourcemod 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 not that it really matters I don't think.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Like WildTurkey said, doesn't work after the TF2 update of 4/19.
Please update this, it's vital to any decent coop server.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Plugin dead, pls fix!

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Gamedata has been updated.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

The download link doesn't seem to work.
Mind fixing that too ?.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Oops, sorry, I changed it to a zip file.
Done.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Any chance of an update to this for linux?

The update at the weekend now crashes linux servers with zombies in them.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

It's unlikely to be the same bug.

Re: [HL2:DM] ZombieFix
 

Hi, May I first thank you for creating this plugin it has worked great for the last 8 months on my Linux Server. But I have the same problem as cmulder, since the update from Steam we can no longer play any maps that have zombies and we have a lot of maps done by our mappers that have zombies.
Here is the error log we get L 11/06/2012 - 00:41:57: SourceMod error session started
L 11/06/2012 - 00:41:57: Info (map "dm_lockdown") (file "errors_20121106.log")
L 11/06/2012 - 00:41:57: [SM] Unable to load extension "zombiefix.ext": /home/lrcpanel/userfiles/LRC120212659/orangebox/hl2mp/addons/sourcemod/extensions/zombiefix.ext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
L 11/06/2012 - 06:22:51: Error log file session closed.

If you can help that would be great.

Thanks
