Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

SuperHero Monitor v1.5

This plugins is definitely useful! I've always been asked: Why don't I have 700hp???? Now, these annoying questions won't be asked again. THX vittu!

ill browse through the code later... gj

Good idea vittu. What if you removed hp/ap from the hud and added your plugin as the hp/ap ?

gj have alot of people saying "i havent got extra hp" lol very nice plugin :wink:

only problem is that it sucks away a HUD channel. You should use a hud sync object so it will cause the least possible interference with other hud messages, with this it would always try to use an open hud channel first, then if they are all in use it would erase an existing message.

looks really good wuld be nice in other server, but in my serve max hp is 200 so i hawe no problems :P

I like it :)
Good job vittu :)

Sounds good, i will install it on my server asap. Hope their are upgrades to this plugin to make it more neat.

Upated: Using jtp's and freecode suggestions

Now requires: AMX Mod X 1.70 or above

Update Features:

• Now uses a hud sync object as to interfere less with other hud messages. It will try to find an available hud channel. If one is not available it will overwrite one instead of constantly overwriting a single hud channel. Meaning it will try not to overwrite other hud messages now.
  
• Now with optional replacement of Hud's AP/HP, to use this mode you must uncomment the define in the sma and recompile the plugin. *Warning: this mode also removes the Radar from the hud, as seen in the second image above.

gj. i like it 8)

srry vittu removing radar sucks!!! is it possible u get it back on in futur updates?

The radar is not removed by default. Only if you enable the option to remove the HP/AP on the HUD. There is no way to remove the HP/AP on the hud without removing the radar also.

Which modules are required to run this plugin?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

******** AMX Mod X 1.70 and above Only ********

ShowSyncHudMsg is in the core module, your not running a high enough version of amxx. I'm about to make lots of heroes use this as well, so you should update. Or at least update when amxx 1.75 comes out.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

I got the same error, and I'm pretty sure I'm running AMX 1.60, so, if i need 1.70, how/where can I update? And would I have to like delete the old amxx and then re-install all the heroes and stuff, cause that would be a pain in the butt....

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

This plugin won't wor for amxx 1.6, you have to upgrade, go to the amxx website (http://www.amxmodx.org/). I would suggest delete verything, keep your config files and sma files (on a different folder), then upload new amxx and copy all your configs over (settings only, not the actual files), then start the sma compile, then upload the compiled plugins to the plugins folder and your done.

Helpful guide: http://wiki.amxmodx.org/index.php/Upgrading_AMX_Mod_X

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Ok, im going to try some of that. But how do I do a sma compile? I really don't know anything about compiling, so....is this going to screw me over?
Oh, and if I just copy all my configs over to the new amx thing, will that include SH mod, or will i have to re-install that?
-Sorry if I sound like a newb at this computer stuff.
I am.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

The shero folder will be the same, you can copy that over. Just click the exe or something file in the scripting folder and it will compile all your plugins in the folder.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Ok, im still confused on what to keep and stuff. Should I keep the whole configs folder? Or are there specific files I should keep? And where are the sma files I should keep?

EDIT:
Ok, so I kept the whole scripting folder and put all the sma files into there, and I see a .exe file that's title COMPILE, may I assume that that's what I need to compile? Ok, so anyways, what about the configs, what do I keep?

EDIT (again):
I just double-clicked the COMPILE.exe thing and it compiled all the sma's of the heros and stuff. So, did I do that right?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

If you go over the guide, you will be fine, keep the config files. The only file that has changed the sql.cfg, just overwrite it and if you use that to store things, then just change the settings, that's all that needs to be changed in configs. Now, overwrite everything, download all your heroes and plugin smas and compile them using other the 1.75a compiler or the web compiler, then upload all the amxx files to the plugins folder and then your done.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Wait, I have to download all my heros again?!
And am I supposed to delete everything in amxmodx folder or not?
I'm sorry, but I really am a noob...

EDIT:
OK, so I just replaced all the binaries and data/lang files, and stuff, as it says in the guide. But then it says I need metamod v 1.19, and I only have 1.18, how do I upgrade that?
EDIT: (again)
Alright, since I had already complied all the old sma's and stuff, is there anything left for me to do? And should I move the 1.75 scripting sma files (like Admin, adminvote, mapsmenu, nextmap, so on...) into the old scripting folder replacing the old ones?
Also, from www.amxmodx.org I downloaded the Amx 1.75 Base, and I downloaded the amx 1.75 Counter-Strike Addon, what do I do with the addon?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

To upgrade metamod, go to http://metamod.org/ and download it for your os (operating system). No, you don't need to download heroes again, they all should work, but its best to recompile them.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

nice! I love this plugin

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Omg i love this plugins just got install on my server. Now newbs won't ask me why my hp is 188 and not 700. Good job :D

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

this is something that would not be put to waste

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

gj , works well :)

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

how do u install this plugin

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Can you make a code of that is not for sh?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Yea that's not hard to change.

What do you want in it? health and armor or only one of them? You want anything else in it?

And would this be ok for displaying:
[AMXX] HP # | AP #
or you want a different setup?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

what should i do with the sma file? please help?
should i do the same thing as installing the heros?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

yeah put it in your scripting folder and compile it... put the compiled file in ur plugins folder and add filename.amx(x) to ur plugins.ini

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Hey, could someone help me with this one ? i installed PLugin and source.

But i dont now where i shall write:
********************************************* *******************************
*
* ******** AMX Mod X 1.70 and above Only ********
*
* Description:
* This plugin will display a hud message to the user showing their true
* current health and armor just above chat messages. Might possibly
* add other things into the message in the future, suggestions?
*
* Why:
* When a users health is over 255 in the HUD it loops over again
* starting from 0. When a users armor is over 999 it does not show the
* correct number rather it shows a hud symbol and the last few digits.
*
* Who:
* This plugin is intended for SuperHero Mod servers that have heroes that
* make it possible to have more then 255 hp or more then 999 armor.
*
* Known Issues:
* If using the REPLACE_HUD option, clients radar is also removed from the
* hud. If lots of hud messages are being displayed at the same time the
* monitor may flash briefly, but does not happen enough to be concerned.
*
********************************************* *******************************
*
* http://shero.rocks-hideout.com/
*
* Notes: Currently there are no cvars, message will not display when sh mod is off.
* However, loop will still run incase shmod is enabled again. Plugin tested
* at 800x600 to 1280x1024.
*
* Changelog:
* v1.1 - vittu - 06/11/06
* - Used a hud sync object instead of taking up a single hud channel (suggested by jtp10181)
* - Added option to remove the hud's hp/ap and place message there (suggested by Freecode)
*
* v1.0 - vittu - 06/05/06
* - Initial Release
*
* Thanks:
* - OneEyed for the basis of an entity as a task

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

where shall i write the code ?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

i dont think u need this... isnt this only description of what the plugin does ??

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

What code? If you mean cvars there are none, it simply runs when superhero does. There is no need for cvars with this really. Someone requested it to work without SH but they never answered my question so i never bothered, don't know if that is what you mean.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Updated mainly optimized with better methods, new version is recommended to anyone using older ones.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

oh finaly i can see the true hp :)
but why dont make it a anubis power?

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

Cause that would be stupid to require users to get a hero to see their actual health.

Re: Plugin: SuperHero Monitor - Shows True HP/AP on screen
 

but it would make anubis better
and ppl would acualy pick him O.O'
