Description:
lmModule is a location reporter/marker plugin that lets a server admin mark polygon areas in maps and give them a text description. These polygon areas and descriptions can be saved to files and will be loaded every time that specific map is loaded on the server. The saved location mark files can be traded between server admins so that each admin does not have to "reinvent the wheel", I highly encourage this...it is a way for admins who are not coders to help the community by releasing location mark packs.
THE PLUGIN IS MOD INDEPENDANT. It was written for
Hostile Intent (
http://www.planethalflife.com/hostileintent/) but as of version 1.1 it works with all mods that AMX Mod X supports even those (like NS and DoD) that has their own similar systems. This system requires
NO changes to the mod or it's files.
The marking/editing of the polygon areas are all done ingame, no offline editing of configuration files are nescessary (even though it is possible due to the easy human readable file format.).
The users can later access the descriptions by adding the tag "%pos" in a say_team message:
say_team "Reporting In @ %pos"
...could for example be seen as...
(TEAM) Kulfaangaren![OwP]: Reporting In @ Hotel reception, right side
