Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

It looks like a nice concept, but too much of it is just mindless killing. If it's meant to be real minigames, it needs something extraordinary!

Also I dunno if this can even be played before warmup ends since it usually isn't more than 10 seconds for me.

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

Not sure why, but as long as this plugin is enabled on our server, kills do not show up in the HUD or in console. Ever.

Also, I'd like to see a minimum players setting.
i.e. If there are less than x players, only do free for all / melee madness

Another bug:
A guy who was an invisible spy was still invisible when the real game started.

Also, when it moved the dead invisible spy to spec, he got kicked by our AFK kicker immediately (this one: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=708265). The problem with that is that he is an admin (and we have admins set to be immune), and we require that they be afk in spec for 2 minutes before being kicked.

I'd like to use this plugin, as what we are doing now (Always FF + melee only) gets a little tired, but these bugs kill it right now.

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

Ok, I made a couple of changes in v1.02

(1) New CVAR (tf2_minigames_minplayers)
(2) Fixed the issue with the spies not going back from invisibility
(3) Fixed kills not being displayed in HUD (however, not tested)

What i need clarification on is what exactly are the circumstances in which the invisible spy is kicked by the AFK manager, I don't seem to understand what caused this to happen (from what you have described).

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

I'll give this a try on my server tomorrow for an event. I'll be sure to write back with some feedback afterward. :)

EDIT: It won't compile >_<

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

simple syntax error xD

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

The AFK manager thing was the afk manager iteslf. For some reason it was kicking as soon as someone went spectate, but i think I figured that out.

We just had to stick on a backup of SM on our server, so some things weren't working right. heh.

Thanks for the update. I'll try it out some time later this week.

I noticed that you have this logic:
Shouldn't it be

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

I believe i misunderstood your request. I thought you wanted it to initiate the mini games if there are less than, equal to X players. lol * Corrects

Re: [TF2] Warmup Round Mini Games
 

Here's another bug: Free for all didn't have instant respawn.

Also, kill notifications do work. Thanks for the fix.
