Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Random Monster Fun 1.1.204 (released: December 15, 2007)

This plugin will spawn random monsters on random people at random times. Why? Because it's funny.

For each individual player, approximately every 5 minutes, RMF will randomly decide whether to spawn monsters on that player or not. The player must be alive and the freeze time for the current round must be over for monsters to spawn.

You can receive support for this plugin either within this thread or on the GameSurge IRC network, channel #mixedberry. Non-Steam servers are not supported.


Installation
top

Default File Locations:

• .\gamemod\addons\amxmodx\plugins\rmf.amxx
• .\gamemod\addons\amxmodx\configs\rmf.ini (sample provided with this plugin)

• .\gamemod\monster_precache.cfg (provided with monster mod)

Options (CVARS)
top

rmf_chance <iPercent>
Specifies the 1 in iPercent chance of having a monster spawned per event (approximately 5 minute interval).

The default is 10.

Setting this value to 1 would result in monsters spawning every event.

rmf_precache_file <cFileLocation>
Specifies the location and name of the monster precache file that came with Monster Mod.

If left blank, as it is by default, file is assumed to be .\gamemod\monster_precache.cfg

rmf_ini_file <cFileLocation>
Specifies the location and name of the ini file that tells RMF which monsters to spawn and how many of each.

If left blank, as it is by default, file is assumed to be .\gamemod\addons\amxmodx\configs\rmf.ini. Only monsters that were precached by Monster Mod will be spawned.


Additional Requirement(s)
top

The "Monster Mod" metamod plugin must be installed for this plugin to work. You can find the version I use for *Windows* below. If anyone has a version of Monster Mod for Linux, please let me know.

If you already have a copy of Monster Mod installed, you certainly don't need this. If you're using the version I supplied, follow these steps to install:

Step 1

Extract everything in the monster.zip file directly into your mod folder (i.e. cstrike, dod, etc.), maintaining the folder structure within the ZIP.

Step 2

Add the following to your metamod.ini file:

Step 3

Edit the extracted .\gamemod\monster_precache.cfg file to your heart's content. Don't go overboard though. My server can only handle about 5 different monsters being precached at a time. Your mileage may vary.

[2007-12-15] v1.1.204

• Monsters are killed on round end now rather than upon round start. This fixes an issue where players could die when they spawn, as the monster is in the process of dying.

Re: Random Monster Fun 0.0.180 (BETA)
 

Hi, Brad. I believe this plugin has stolen the monsters that were under my bed and I would appreciate it if they could be put back there. Thanks

Re: Random Monster Fun 0.0.180 (BETA)
 

Fixed.

Re: [BETA] Random Monster Fun 0.0.180
 

Woah! Since when does AMX Mod X endorse in theft?!

But you made real good use of those stolen monsters Brad. Nice work.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

OMGZORS! I took the liberty of approving my own plugin because I'm hawt like that. This is version 1.0! No more beta*! Woot! You know you love it.

* because absolutely no one other than myself tested this, i gave myself the okay to say it's bug-free and feature complete (that's just how i roll)

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Anyone have monstermod for linux? Us linux people love monster too :(

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Try this : Monster v3.01.04

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Awesome, thanks :)

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

If I wanted to change the location of the precache file, is the following correct to add to my amxx.cfg file (cs 1.6 server):
rmf_precache_file ".\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs\monster_pre cache.cfg"

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs\monster_preca che.cfg

would be fine but it's not really something that I'm aware you can change. that particular file comes with Monster Mod and I believe it expects to find it, well, where it expects to find it.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Damn, that monster_mm_i386.so got a bad load :( Output from a "meta list" command in HLSW:
Any ideas Brad? Thanks for your help by the way.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Put the wrong path in metamods' plugins.ini *sigh*

Thanks Brad !!!

The version you gave me works, it loads in with metamod just fine. It looks like it's hardcoded to precache.cfg and skill.cfg in the addons\monster\config\ directory.

When I use your monster_precache.cfg and monster_skill.cfg (renaming them to get rid of the monster_ prefix) I get the following errors in the error log:So I tried using the 3.5 version of monster_mm_i386.so I found here. The file wouldn't even load. But the 3.5 version has a prefix.cfg and skills.cfg, and when used with the so file you gave me I got it to work: Then I subsequently configured your amxx plugin by entering the following in my amxx.cfg:But your plugin still doesn't work. The monster metamod seems to load and precache OK.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Bump... anyone??

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Don't edit your posts, unless you do it immediately following when you posted it. Otherwise, things can easily get missed. Further, don't bump your posts, as that's a site-wide rule.

Do you know that your version of Monster Mod works? Not that it loaded successfully, but that you can spawn monsters using Monster Mod itself? Type "monster" in the server's console to see usage instructions.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Rodger that, thanks Brad.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

New Version! I've just released the latest version.

[2007-12-15] v1.1.204

• Monsters are killed on round end now rather than upon round start. This fixes an issue whereas players could die when they spawn, as the monster is in the process of dying.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Answer please, why does not work? What is the problem? There are only one spiders … and all!

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

It looks like you edited the Monster metamod plugin's precache file, adding the number after the monster name.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

All is correct, indeed. Numbers has cleaned, now has earned.
But here a new problem: monsters work only
00:03:35: [Spawn] 11 snark monsters on 3y6uk 60J|uT :(
00:11:06: [Spawn] 2 tentacle monsters on! 3m_6OHY $ (NO SOUND)

00:30:42: [Spawn] 2 controller monsters on - = GEKA = -
All the others which are in monster_precache.cfg do not work. And it would be desirable … that it can be?

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

The monsters have to be uncommented in Monster Mod's precache file AND be in rmf.ini with a number after it to denote how many to spawn.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

It would be really, really helpful if you showed the contents of your rmf.ini and your monster precache file. Really helpful. Really, really, really helpful.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

erm.. I need Help? :cry:

No clue what I'm doing wrong, I put the appropriate things in their appropriate folders.
Maybe a more detailed step-by-step? :o
If thers any other info you need please tell me.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

I do not support the Monster mod itself. All I can suggest is that you verify that you put the correct path in your Metamod's plugins.ini file and that the DLL is where you said it would be in the plugins.ini file.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Thx alot, its working now xD I put dll path to addons\monster which threw everything off

Is there a command that allow for the monsters to spawn sooner?8)

aww, shucks, 5 minutes is a long time to wait T.T
Anyways, thanks again.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

You can't make them spawn sooner, but you can make them spawn more often.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

For a little more insight for all you people who are stuck....
if your error has anything to do with the monster precache look at mine

-as you can see some of the names have // in front of them, this means that these monsters are not enabled into the server
-also make sure that you dont have a number after the monster name
for example: islave 15 , just delete the 15 and you should be good to go.

Please take note that your server can only take a certain amount of monsters, If you look at my list you can see that I only have 2 monsters enabled because thats the limit for me.
So, if you have all of the monster names without the // then your server WILL NOT start because it will say "failed to precache because the item count is over the 512 limit." meaning it cannot support that many monsters at a time

Hope this was Helpful :up:

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Working on dod 1.3 ?

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Did you try it? You tell me.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Ok should the plugin say chlvl?

[ 1] AMX Mod X RUN - amxmodx_mm.dll v1.76d ini ANY ANY
[ 2] Monster RUN - monster_mm.dll v3.00.00 ini Chlvl Chlvl
[ 3] Fun RUN - fun_amxx.dll v1.76 pl1 ANY ANY
[ 4] CStrike RUN - cstrike_amxx.dll v1.76 pl1 ANY ANY
[ 5] CSX RUN - csx_amxx.dll v1.76c pl1 ANY ANY
[ 6] Engine RUN - engine_amxx.dll v1.76 pl1 ANY ANY
[ 7] FakeMeta RUN - fakemeta_amxx.dl v1.76d pl1 ANY


cause it says that, and i dont know if that is correct or whats going on. so far the plugin hasnt done anything.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

This plugin doesn't say that. The Monster metamod plugin, that I don't support, does. However, it's fine that it says that.

If THIS plugin is not working for you, give me the value of rmf_chance and the contents of both your monster mod's precache file and rmf.ini.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

HEY BRAD, I HAVE SOME PROBLEM TO SHARE WITH YOU.
I LOVE THIS RMF PLUGIN SO I HOPE YOU COULD FIX THIS IF ITS A BUG..
FIRST OF ALL.. SOME OF THE MONSTERS DOESN'T SEEM TO DIE AT ROUND END..
LIKE ZOMBIES AND TENTACLES.. OR ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THAT?
SECONDLY, MY SERVER CRASHED AT CS_ASSAULT.. IM NOT SURE WHAT
IS CAUSING IT BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED..
I STARTED SHOOTING HEADCRABS WITH MY SHOTGUN IN THIS HOLE PLACE
ON CS_ASSAULT AND MY SERVER CRASHED.. I AM ALSO RUNNING THIS PLUGIN

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

I have noticed that as well, though solely with Zombies. I've never looked into it as it hasn't bothered me too much. I'll keep it in mind next time I look at this plugin's code.
Not sure what to tell you. If you can consistently get your server to crash, then start disabling things until it doesn't anymore.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Hey i have a question..
I am not sure what to write in this cvars..
I just left it blank though and it seemed to be alright, just wondering..
Hope there will be more features to this plugin.
Maybe a cvar for that 5 minutes approx thingy..
I am sure this plugin will be famous soon enough :)

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Hello

Plugin stable in Linux?

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Presumably.

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

For shits and giggles, can anyone ─ that pretty much knows what they're doing ─ download this and see if it still works?

Re: Random Monster Fun 1.0.180
 

Works. But,can you set up that the monsters come every 2-3 minutes?
