Multimod Plugin
 

This plugin was inspired in
- My idea to run in the same server different sets of plugins
- I found some plugins and the very best aproach was this
Advanced end map vote


UPDATED TO v2.2
- Remember to download language file for correct update.
- Now map voting it's in a separate plugin. You can download from here.
- There was a mistake with the uploaded file mapchooser_multimod.sma. It's fixed now (12/23/2009)
- Fixed all errors found until thread #321 (12/23/2009)
- Files to download: multimod.amxx + multimod.txt (lang) + mapchooser_multimod.amxx (replacement of mapchooser.amxx)

- v0.8 Still available to download. Install instruccions for v0.8 are in multimod-v08.txt file.
- Files to download for v0.8: multimod-v08.amxx + multimod-v08.txt (instructions)



NOTICE
* This plugin is compatible with mapchooser_multimod (you can download it here)
* This plugin may be compatible with galileo. Give it a try!


Description

Once this plugin is loaded for the first time, it restarts the server to correctly setup and choosing the first mod available in config file.

When it's time to vote map, all players must vote for the nextmap plugin-set (I prefer to call as Mod).
After that, you can vote for custom maps using mapchooser_multimod or Galileo

So, with this you have:

- Plugin-sets/Mods to play
- Per-Mod mapcycle file
- Per-Mod cvars file

Cvars
amx_mintime: Minimum time to play before players can make MOD voting
amx_multimod_mode: Compatibility mode 0 [auto] ; 1 [mapchooser_multimod] ; 2 [Galileo]

Commands
amx_votemod: Admin only command to launch MOD & MAP voting
say /votemod: Player command to launch MOD & MAP voting
say_team /votemod: Player command to launch MOD & MAP voting
say nextmod: Check which MOD will be running in next map

Installation

check this out: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...&postcount=289

• Compile and put it in your plugins folder
  
• Create the folder multimod in your game base directory (ej: cstrike/multimod czero/multimod)
  
• Create file multimod.ini in multimod folder (see file format in examples)
  
• Create those files for each mod in multimod folder (TAG is the one used in multimod.ini file)

• TAG-plugins.ini: plugin list to be loaded for the mod (you must include multimod.amxx, admin plugins, mod specific plugins, etc)

• TAG-maps.ini: maps list for the mod (same format as mapcycle.txt)

• cfgfilename.cfg: custom cvars and values for the mod
• Add multimod.amxx into addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini
  
• Remember to disable mapchooser.amxx
  
  
• If using mapchooser_multimod, be sure to delete addons/amxmodx/configs/maps.ini if it's there
  

How it works?
* This plugin doesn't move, rename nor create files on the fly
* This plugin doesn't have a map voting code at this time
* This plugin will restart the server at first run to setup correctly
* After first restart, default plugins.ini will not be loaded anymore
* When there's 3 minutes left for the current map, this plugin will bring a menu for MOD voting
* Then, mapchooser/galileo will have time to work on map voting

Comments are welcome.
If you need help to setup your own multimod server, you're welcome.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

So if map goes to deathrun the deathrun mod turns on, and if it goes to a gg_maze or a gg_map then it turns on gungame?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

That's pretty neat. Good idea :)

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

No, it brings up a vote for which mod you want to play next then it only gives you maps that are allowed for that specific mod.

Why are you so "anti-whitespace"?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Ohh, then i like it, very good idea :D

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Actually this is cool :D

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Updated

Fixed some minor bugs.
Added admin command amx_votemod to force Mod votting

I will add some commands and checks to avoid errors in server log (empty arrays, empty/inexistent files, etc)

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

pause a plugin is not efficient for some mod, example with csdm and ffa mode on, i bet that pause csdm won't turn off ffa.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Couldn't you just not add the FFA into the other sections so it auto-pauses then?

EDIT:
This plugin would be awesome if you could integrate a RTV function to it.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

yeah

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

You just add that plugin to the list under CSDM.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

I think it's a good plugin :)

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

please add the existing plugin

amx vote war3ft superhero

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

What in the world are you talking about?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

I'm going to add some features but I want to test for stability first.
Currently I'm working to add sanity checks and improving the code.
I take your request to add taht feature soon.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

And to make it clear, this plugin do the following:

- First, at plugin start, it pauses ALL plugins listed in multimod.ini
- Next, it unpause ONLY plugins for the selected MOD

avrlil-lagvigne:
There's nothing to add specific for an existing mod/plugin-set. All you have to do is to setup correctly multimod.ini and the related files for each mod.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

It's not a plugin, it's a part of csdm module.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

This is intended to manage plugins only so, if some plugin interacts with a module I cant say how will work...

When I say MOD in this plugin, I'm talking about a group of plugins and not amx modules. Just to clarify.

Thanks Connor for your explanation.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Csdm should be disabled by a command, you may take it in account.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

You could do that in the Mod specific cfg files. Just put the command to turn off CSDM in every other config file (and maybe also put the command to turn it on in the CSDM config file; probably not necessary though).

My original though was to use only on/off command/cvars to disable the "Mods" but figured pausing them would be most efficient.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

It's kinda nice. Someone confirm that this works?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

It really only work with CSDM?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

No, it doesn't need CSDM.

It's for setup different plugins sets to change gameplay style.

And you have to vote for the next gameplay mode when maps finish.

I have 2 servers running this

200.49.68.250:27016
200.49.68.250:27022

With this plugin-sets of:

SURF
DEATHRUN
CAPTURE THE FLAG
LOCO (a set of plugins to play a crazy style)

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

I've had a couple people running my version. Maybe you need to get them to try this out.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Very nice plugin :)

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Haha, nice job joro :D

// Now spanish part D:

buena joro, te zarpaste! XD

//english again ¬¬

For everyone : I'm admin of joro's servers and i've tested the multimod. It works great!!! Try out the LOCO mod :P It uses Sentrys, Landmines, TripMines, Runes, Deagle Nail; its just... GREAT!!

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

It doesn't work :(
They are not the plugin in each mod
Only the cvar and the map

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

huh?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

sorry for my english :wink:

I have that for exemple:
The plugins don't work when I have a deathrun map

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

You have to write the maps down also :)
Maybe you can just add a prefix? I mean deathrun_ :D

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

yez I wrote the map in deathrun.ini
I have in first a vote for the mod (surf, deathrun,...)
And after a vote for the map
But the plugins don't work

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Oops, I accidentally deleted stuff here :|

Are all the plugins in your main .ini file paused too?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Yes deathrun wins

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

I only have the plugin of amxmodx
Not custom plugin in plugin.ini

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

You have to include all plugins in plugins.ini otherwise it will not work (as you are experiencing).

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

ok

I thank that mulimod.ini replace plugin.ini

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Can you do multimod with zombie plague 4.3, deathrun and normal 4fun?

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Yeah, just download, configure it and use it as you wish.

I'm going to update to version 0.5 with some improvements.

Maybe tomorrow.

Re: MULTIMOD PLUGIN
 

Updated!!
