[CS:S] Be Medic
 

Be Medic

Features :
This plugin allows people of both team to buy (or randomly get) medic training (<sm_bemedic | say !bemedic | say_team !bemedic> ). People with medic training can heal people. To do so, they need to be near the wounded target, with their knife in hand and hold the use ('e') key. A progressbar (defusebar) will be show showing when the target will be healed.

A specific model (or an over-head icon if you don't want to make your user download the model; be sure to check the config created by the plugin) is given to the medics and a little animation can be seen when there is healing going on. Note that if you disable models in the .cfg file, they won't be precached/downloaded. That may be wanted if you want to avoid players downloading models.

Players willing to call a medic can bind a key to "sm_medic" or "<say | say_team> !medic". A radio-shout will be used ('!' + glow on radar + radio message), unless disabled (can be replaced with an ambient shout).

Changelog :


Todo list/my requests :

• Add a channel-beginning sound so we know someone's going to be healed (a link to a bandage-wrapping kind-a sound would be greatly appreciate :) ).
• A better terrorist medic would also be nice. I'm not a huge fan of terrorists that we can see the whole head's skin.
• Test http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=206651 for alternative sprite parenting.
• Ensure that file exist before using animation/icons; same w/ model I guess,
• Try to do it as with the sandvich in TF2 (drop a medkit).
• Tell who was randomly chosen to be medic when that's the case.
• Show when we're a medic on the HUD.
• HL2DM ?

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Great Plugin, testing it now. Will come back with feedback

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Awaiting it =).

I do know I need some sound when beginning to heal (any file-link would be great).

My point making this plugin is to get a non-rigged medic; so I can add something great to CS: S while having something fairly balanced (that's why I did put something such as interrupting overtime heal ;)).

EDIT : Added brazilian-portuguese translation. Credits for that translation go to lokizito.

RE-EDIT : Added russian translation. Thanks to Leonardo.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

looks great, there's that half life to medic machine sound, Ill try find it, I always liked that. Ill see if I can find it

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

There's some health related sounds in this zip. I couldn't find the one I was talking about but there's a couple of heartbeats and a few ambient machine sounds that may or may not help. If you want anything edited or made PM me red.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Hi this plugin looks great i dont suppose you would be willing to add skin support

I have just recompiled this one from gamebanana to be used for server side

[IMG]http://img820.**************/img820/643/ctmedic.th.jpg[/IMG]


All credits go to orignal skin creator i just simply recompiled for server side use

http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/26846

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Those sounds are interesting; however I don't really see them in my plugin, since I never do anything when life is low; but that might be something to add; thank you. For the healing; I was more expecting "bandage unwrapping/wrapping" sound. A kind of sound that in other circumstances you would say "wtf is that", dunno if you understand my point of view ><.

Wow !!! Thanks for the tip; I never considered it.

I looked at your link and the model is awesome; however I would feel cheap if only a team had a custom medic model. I've searched all the skins on gamebanana for CS:S and I'm divided between those 3 for CTs :

(your) http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/26846 ; the best because of quality / redcross on arm IMO
(other1) http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/17594
(other2) http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/22318 ; really cool, but no redcross

Also; I'd like to know if HL2 models are compatible with CS:S (don't know much about models) ; because I'm considering those ones for the terrorists :

http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/screens/74684

... as there isn't much choices :'(.

But I'm definatly interested in adding those models and maybe remove my redcross overhead. Just missing a Terrorist one...

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

I would be willing to recompile the other 2 just so you can have a choice of what you would like to use as its only a 5 min job per each model

1st Edit : Other two models now done ( again i take no credit for these simple recompile for server side , all credits go to orignal creators )


[IMG]http://img191.**************/img191/1223/ctmedic1.th.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img200.**************/img200/131/ctmedic2.th.png[/IMG]


These seem to be a bit more complex , and require the model to be hexted to the standard css models which is something i have yet to learn :(

Yes i agree i spent quite some time trying to search for a good terrorist skin but couldnt seem to find one , if it comes to it i will find a good t one or even your self and i will add a medic logo :up:

2nd edit Managed to find you this already done for server side / css

[IMG]http://img827.**************/img827/7397/medict.th.jpg[/IMG]

All credits go to s-low http://s-low.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=103

best regards

smithy

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Wow; thanx !

Thanks again; that'll be the "best" (strangely xD) terrorist medic model at the moment.

And also, do you have any link related to server model conversion (I'm interested), else from the valve developper community (or within; like http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w...piling_a_model) ?

I'll try to add models to my plugin in a near future,

Thanks,

Red

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Yes my friend no problem

Basically i learned from this tutorial

http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/joo...434&Itemid=128

With basically a lot of trial and error along the way

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

I have added the German translation.
And i have a questions:

1. Can I dissable that a player only buy in a buyzone a medic?

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Thanks for the translation.

Also; no you can't. I'll add a CVar to overcome that (+ buytime restriction) in the next version.

EDIT : First post is edited; also added translation.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Updated plugin to 1.1.0.

Read changelog in first post.

BTW : The german translation is incomplete (announce at the beginning of rounds is missing; translator didn't reply; I'd appreciate the missing line (currently using the english announcement)).

I plan on adding custom models. I'm also able to do so in a separate plugin, but I'm trying to compress them so I doesn't have the CT medic model at over 4 MO (as heavy as a small map :/).

EDIT : http://s-low.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1516 ; me requesting tips about compression

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Updated german translation. It is now fully done. Thanks to BrianGriffin.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Sorry for the delay my friend

Compressed the files as much as possible without loseing quality , removed the need for a few files

Hope this helps

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

smithy You could try hex edit, instead of recompil :D
http://www.gamebanana.com/tuts/8003 (i think it is easier)
ex Can't i recompil, because i run Steam and CS:S through wine, and wine are not developed enough that the program I need work..
But hex edit, works on "all platform" :D

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

COOL ! You did that 1024x1024 thing. Thanks. I'll try using DXT 1 & 5 and I do believe it will drop under 1MO (I will also remove bump map ("ct_urban_normal.vtf") since they take ~half the package size, and I doubt of his real utility).

I'll play around compression today.

Thanks !,

Red

EDIT : I've checked again the difference between your 2 packages : any idea what are _spec and _glass model files were for ? (curious)

RE-EDIT : I'll be removing normalmaps; since I don't find them useful; and it cut half size.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

You cannot remove any of the files without recompiling the model as it would just display as an error to any one that tries to use it

The reason this doenst have so many files as the other one is , i used the files allready availble without having to force people to redownload others

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

You're wrong I'm able to remove few things :P.

ct_urban.vmt file linked to ct_urban_normal.vtf ... I just broke that link; so it'll get default normalmaps ;).

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Updated to 1.2.0.

Added models. They aren't too heavy ;).

Thanks to smithy, S-LoW and d0nn (See first post to see why). They helped a lot with model implementation.

Also, tip of the day : if you don't reboot your client CS: S, it will consider that it has the models precached, even if they were deleted after download. I nearly lost 3 hours trying to find why I was seeing invisible people 1 time on 2...

Also configs (.cfg) can prevent switching effectively from icon to model (i.e. admin change CVars ingame but they will apply on map change; and configs executed just before mapstart = :( ).

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Could you make a cvar to restrict to one team? I rather have just the T's or CT's have this but not both.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic
 

Sure, this is easy to do. I'll work on it in the upcoming hours (I'm a bit lazy right now).

EDIT : I'll also add verbose related to it...

RE-EDIT : Updated to 1.3.0. You can now restrict a team from buying medic training.

RE-RE-EDIT : Added brazilian-portuguese missing line due to 1.3.0.

RE-RE-RE-EDIT : Updated to 1.3.1. Fixed team restricted from buying medic being able to call medic.

RE-RE-RE-RE-EDIT : Updated to 1.3.2. Added CVar to allow medics to heal other team.

RE-RE-RE-RE-RE-EDIT : Added "bemedic_team" CVar russian translation. Thanks to Leonardo.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic - 1.3.2@06-07-2011
 

Corrected some translation code (1.3.3). Thanks to Bacardi.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 06-07-2011 v1.3.2)
 

any chance that you could make some of this? :)

a command to give players medic
something like bemedic_givemedic <steamid | #userid>

and also an option to disable so players can buy medic and use the !bemedic command this would be awesome since we are running our own knifeking plugin, then we would be able to do so it's only the knifeking who can be a medic.

else really nice plugin!

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 06-07-2011 v1.3.2)
 

Re-uploaded translation's phrases. The only changes concern the german translation, as it was completely redone by "Dr. Greg House"; so thanks to him.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Added lithuanian translation. Thanks to hleV.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Items preventing approval:

DONTRECORD is not placed on version cvar
Say and SayTeam hooks for commands

If you fix the above items this plugin would be approved. :3

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Won't DONTRECORD make my plugin untrackable via game-monitor ? Also a lot of approved plugins doesn't use that flag...

And why is :

incorrect ?

I'm pretty sure from what I've read from experienced users in the past (don't remember exact source, sorry) that it's better to use "AddCommandListener" rather than using "RegConsoleCmd"...

Thanks for reviewing my plugin for approval,

Red

EDIT : Also I'm pretty sure that none of what you said is in this; updating it would be nice.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

DONTRECORD prevents it from being written to the .cfg file. Without it, it will read the value from the config file. This only really happens when paired with AutoExecConfig(); Since you do exec a config file, and don't have dont record, it will always show the version number in the config, not the plugin.

You should not hook say and sayteam when the purpose is a command. This is incorrect and would cause IsChatTrigger() to fail because your command is not properly registered. Use RegConsoleCmd() on sm_medic and sm_bemedic. This will automatically create the chat triggers !medic and !bemedic.

Edit:

Its really impossible to put everything in that post. We try to cover the big items. The issue here is coding style to minimize errors and maximize the API for you and others. There isn't a hard and fast pass/fail for plugin approval based on rules. It requires code review, and everyone has different styles.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Thanks, I shall update this in the future.

EDIT :

So I have to make my plugin partially-trackable to get this approved... ? I guess I'll have to wait to see that bug corrected ... :/

Tracking my plugin is the best way to get recognition and throwing that by the window...

RE-EDIT : Apparently that thread was about NOTIFY (mistake from the thread starter) and the bug has been corrected since. I'll update in the future. (Thanks to asherkin @ irc for his answers)

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

hello,
The plugin works very well, except when you use respawn, then you have to retype !bemedic over and over.
Is it possible to type it just once and be a medic from that point on?

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Hi,

you stay medic when respawning, unless you died (if its not the case please tell me; update might have broken something, but I highly doubt).

If you're talking about staying medic even after death, try replacing line #483 :
by
Red

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Commands are still improperly registered if you want to use them as chat triggers, and the say and sayteam hooks are incorrect for the same reason.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Dude I didn't get time to work on this. When I do an update I put a lot of time, and currently school is taking a good part of my time (testing I didn't break anything). I didn't forget I had to do that.

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Oh, I thought you said you updated it. So I just did another review. No worries.

rukia

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

Thanks that worked very well!

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

What is the chance that you can make a plugin just like this
but one that gives ammo

Same principle, pull knife, press e, and it gives ammo
I really could use it on the mod I am running

thanks for this plugin

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

None, since I don't like to release unsupported things and I don't feel like releasing another plugin, having most of this plugin's current code (nothing new really unless giving ammo and a lot of cleanup to do with the code; i.e. regeneration of ammo ?), but not bringing anything good to "vanilla" CS:S, which my intent while coding is to increase its gameplay/fun.

Also, since it wouldn't increase gameplay it wouldn't be used much, which is raging when you're doing a plugin (and I don't aim zombies servers when coding/concepting a plugin nor I do private plugins since I believe SM coders are paid too cheap AFAIK; however I can tell you some easy code-twists as I did in my previous post if it doesn't take too much of my time).

Plus, if I were to release such a thing, someone would request adapted models and such, which is a ton of ******* to implement/optimize/test alone, and I'm not willing to make an ammo-bringer class being a normal-looking guy, after I've done this plugin (I've set the next step high for myself if I'm to do another class thing).

Finally, I'm currently busy with school at the moment, and when I'm releasing a plugin, I don't like releasing crap : models (said above), but also sounds, translations, readable-code must be present, and in appropriate manners.

I'm sure someone else in this forum would be willing code/implement your idea for money (or for free if you're lucky), just post in the appropriate section and you'll see.

TL/DR : No chances.

I hope I wasn't too harsh,

Thanks for the interest towards this plugin,

Red

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

LOL...
I would have been happy to pay you for it
As for the models, I really do not need them.
Should you change your mind send me a pm and I will be happy
to send you a generous donation to complete it.
Otherwise, thanks for your response, and good job on the plugin.
I really enjoy it

Re: [CS:S] Be Medic (Updated 07-07-2011 v1.3.3)
 

That'd go to either Christmas' vacancy, next summer, or as I said never (might, but that would be when I've plenty of free time, which I doubt will happen).

Also thanks for the proposal and the comments.
