VIP Mod (1.0.H) Server Plugin for CSS - 16 June 2007
 
VIP Mod 1.0.H

Quote:

What Is VIP Mod?

Old school Counter-Strike players will remember a gameplay mode called "assasination mode" that randomly changed a member of the CT team into a VIP. The VIP player was only allowed the pistol he spawned with as his weapon. But, he also spawned with 200 armor. The misson in this game play style was simple: "Protect The VIP Team!". The CT's were to escort the VIP to a rescue zone to win the round. The terrorists objective was to kill the VIP. If they did, the round ended no matter how many other CT's were alive.

This game play mode, maybe more so than any other, demanded team play and co-operation. It was exciting to play and was a dream for those of you in to tactics and stategies. Unfortunately this game play mode died when Counter-Strike: Source was released. Valve Software didn't include it in the "Direct Port" of Counter-Strike to Counter-Strike: Source.

Woot!!! Uploading now to my servers!!!

tron73 02-15-2006 20:06

Installed and .....


w00000000t


Nothing more to say!

Dag 02-15-2006 20:14

I installed it on the server, but no one is the VIP. Perhaps I am not following how to use Vapour delivery system for client side ? please explain.

Update: Ok I have been reading some more about Vapour. Am I to usderstand that if my server has regular CSS maps running then we switch to a VIP map, everyone would need to exit CSS, start Vapour and connect to the server again using the VIP mod client side through Vapour ?

kingpin 02-15-2006 20:19

woot, nice work lduke!

sedmorph 02-15-2006 20:30

Installed and working nice :)

bots get a bit confused lol, but thats expected, also when you spawn after being VIP sometimes you hold the gun upsidedown, and facing your chest LMAO, anyway, will be keeping and playing on my server for sure

NICE WORK!!

No. when a non as map loads css will play as normal. When server changes to an as map, the plugin recognises it as a VIP map and 'Protect the VIP team!" Also are you sure that the plugin has loaded?

L. Duke 02-15-2006 21:49

Thank you everyone!

Dag: Wolvie's right. You shouldn't need to do anything for the clients, just load it on the server and change to one of the as_ maps. Make sure you load it by adding the correct line to "metaplugins.ini"

Try typing "meta list" at the server console. Does it list the VIP Mod?

FlyingMongoose 02-16-2006 00:17

This is one of the few instances where custom maps actually GAIN population, thanks L. Duke. It's a hit!

Holy shit its done! *downloads*

Hi,
great work on the VIP-Mod.
Just one issue i see on as-maps :
The time elapsed without the VIP being killed or escaped. Normally the Terrorists must win the map. But that doesnt happen.
Played with BOTs on both sides and me as VIP.

Rebell 02-16-2006 05:27

LDUKE ROXX !!!


:D

Same thing happened on all as_ maps when playing with humans, 1 per side. Timer reaches 0:00 and the round does not end.

This was on the windows version.

Roger Devil 02-16-2006 07:08

Found another issue :
mp_winlimit 10
mp_timelimit 0
mp_roundlimit 0

Normally the map ends after one team reaches 10 Wins, but not on VIP-Maps. Have to set mp_timelimt to activate map-change

The plugin is running(verified in console with meta list), but no one is the vip, it is just like the regular CSS maps. I'll try a re-install

First, try changing map to an as_ map ?

L. Duke 02-16-2006 10:42

The round timer not working correctly and the map not changing are issues that need to be addressed. There will be an update at some point which fixes those, as well as some other minor issues such as firing vip_killed and vip_escaped events for other plugins to know what's going on.

In the meantime, if you find any other issues like that please let me know.

FlyingMongoose 02-16-2006 12:05

Seems like the map changes too quick...for some reason.

Dag 02-16-2006 12:11

I got it working. I pause and unpause plugins for certain maps. For some reason because vipmod was paused for all other maps, when I switched to an AS map and unpaused the plugin in the as.map cfg, VIPmod wasn't working. Now I don't pause VIPmod for any maps. So when it switches to a AS map everything works fine.

sedmorph 02-17-2006 12:01

Bug
1) If you use the warmup timer from mani plugin, the person that was vip in the warmup round doesnt have a gun or a knife, and cannot buy any guns, or even pick them up, the player just runs round about with his arms out to the sides. After the first round has passed it goes back to normal

2) Sometimes when you look at the person that was VIP in the round before at spawn, they hold the pistol upsidedown, and facing towards them

Server is linux

Keep up the good work L. Duke

Isn't that the best way to shoot yourself? Nifty bugs though...

i can confirm that bug... im using a windows version

using mani 1.2K mm and metamod 1.2.1

L. Duke 02-17-2006 17:11

Mani's always screwing things up. :lol:

I don't know how he's resetting the round, but the VIP plugin must not be getting notice that the round has ended to reset the VIP code. I'll ask him about it next time I catch him on IRC.

Rebell 02-18-2006 10:27

Hello !

Ive packed all files for the client and uploaded it ! Get it here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/13550714/...s-v10.rar.html

( klick on FREE ! )

Also set up an 12 slot VIP server : 81.169.170.222:27015
:wink:

FlyingMongoose 02-18-2006 14:32

I've found a bug, every so often if there's a player (normally 3 or less player) who was VIP last round there are times when he can't pick up weapons the next roudn even though he's not VIP anymore.

I noticed in my plugin, round_end isnt fired if I use UTIL_TermRound...

c0ldfyr3 02-18-2006 20:21

If I enable the VIP with any of my plugins, it crashes on load.

Yes :( well, somewhat, it will crash eventually though not immediately, it's been established by the server I run.

ztaky 02-21-2006 15:12

If I start the server with VIP MOD only it runs fine, but when I use MANI (metamod or normal version) it does not start.
Eventscripts runs with it.
Linux server.

Another problem, the as_arctic ran about 4 hours, and still sampling the area...

Any idea?

L. Duke 02-21-2006 16:34

Some of the mappers didn't include nav files since bots don't understand the VIP game play. Try turning off bots for as_ maps.

tron73 02-21-2006 17:29

Okay, but it seems, that these issues are a kind of "unnormal":

We have a linux-Box running with:

Metamod-Source
Metamod-Mani
Metamod-Hostitron (a bit buggy, but no crash)
Metamod_StatsmeMinimum
Metamod_Glittermod
Metamod-Jetpack
Metamod_Goremod
Metamod-VIP-Mod

there is no crash, only some issues with the hostage-models not showing everytime and missing sounds!

Choose vater out of my sig :)


PS: Sorry, but I am happy, that it runs !!!
