[DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Fireworks for DOD:S 1.2

This plugin is based on an idea by V0gelz and Eric Lidman. They've created a simple fireworks plugin for CS:S. I've not used much of their code but some ideas.

Here is my plugin - just for DOD:S - that creates a firework every round that is won (or manually). The firework can be seen over the flags (control points).

Installation

To install just compile the source or copy the .smx file to your plugins folder.

Variables

Since v1.2 there is a configuration file dod_fireworks.cfg created in cfg/sourcemod/.

sm_dod_fireworks
Just shows the version information

sm_fireworks_timeout
Fireworks max running seconds before it stops, default: 60

sm_fireworks_sound
Enable / disable Fireworks sounds (1/0), default: 1

sm_fireworks_roundend
Enable / disable Fireworks at round end (1/0), default: 1

Commands (Admin only)

sm_fireworks_start
Fires fireworks into the sky

sm_fireworks_stop
Cancel the fireworks

Version history

:up: !!

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.1
 

Thank you so much, 1.1 fix sounds good.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.1
 

lol now thats kool works great on my server canu make a cfg for this

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.1
 

*** UPDATED ***

I've fixed some issues (see version history) and added automated creation of the config file "dod_fireworks.cfg" in cfg/sourcemod/ :)

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

tested, working & approved!

nice job, Silent_Water! :up:

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

A picture would be cool

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Hmmm - it is very difficult to make pictures of a highly dynamic process like a firework (as in reality) but here are two. Due to the file size limit they are very poor - a video would be better :)

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Works Awesome installed on all three servers

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Nice job, ill update mine with those spheres you made if you don't mind? =) they look sweet

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Yes, please use it as you like - I've tried a lot settings to make them look sweet :) And thank you for your ideas - as I mentioned I've used some code and ideas from you without asking. Sorry :oops:

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Apparently these fireworks are fatal? BTW is there anyway to say program in shapes to explode?

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Sorry I quite don't understand - what is fatal? And what should the program do? Please explain :)

If you want, that there is a check if the fireworks collides with objects (buildings, trees, whatever...), this can't be done.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Fatal as in it can kill players. Fatal = Death I was just letting you know this problem is mostly on Avalanch as teh fireworks explode int eh sniper window. My other question was are the firework explosions random or can you program in a pattern.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Ooops - I didn't know that. But maybe I can fix this by a simple option. Well, fireworks in RL can also be lethal if you get too close :)

At the moment it is completely randomized. I could make a pattern variable where you can decide what to do in what order.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Impessive plugin, maybee maide thise plugin fo TF2. :)

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Yea it's no problem for now but ask in the future. And ye i'm gonna play with this more. Maybe add more effects.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Nice work on this plugin, adds variety and interest. Lots of positive comments so far.

Any ideas on why I am getting these errors and it is not working?

Thanks!

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

Turning on debug mode might give us the answers.

Re: [DOD:S] Fireworks 1.2
 

How do I do that?

I have no experience writing scripts, I seen this on another server and thought that I would add it to mine, as something different as I was impressed with it.

Thanks,
