Any way to make boss appear only on certain amount of players?

medic917 · **Author**

Is there any way I can make it so bosses appear on certain amount of players in the server?
So if there are 10 people the boss will not spawn. If there is 20 players or more, then boss will spawn.

Also in the characters.cfg file, what are the chances configs? How do they work?

There's no cvar in FF2 to control how many players are needed in order for FF2 to start - it's currently hardcoded at 2 (though it should be easy to change in event_round_start).

Chances allow you to define the chance for a certain boss to get picked. For example, let's say you have three bosses: Saxton Hale, CBS, and Easter Bunny (in that order). Then a chances string of "chances" "1 ; 10 ; 2 ; 4 ; 3 ; 1" will give Saxton Hale a 10/15 chance of being picked each round, CBS a 4/15 chance, and Easter Bunny 1/15.

When you say 4/15 do you mean 26 percent chance (four divided by fifteen)?
Where does the 15 come from?

10+4+1=15
Sum of chances. 15=100%.

Can Freak Fortress 2 handle custom KeyValues?

For example:

you add to the BossCFG something like "minplayers" "15"

after that you edit the Bossselection Plugin to read that value out when selecting the boss.

I was planning to do something like that, would be interresting if that would work that way

FF2 can handle custom keyvalues.

However, it would requiring editing FF2 if you want it to do a specific function. But in your case, just editing boss selection is enough.

Some of the things i've done with my FF2:

Code:

	"subversion"			"31" // FF2 v1.31 - enables new-style HP formula calculations & disables low damage tripling
	"bossteam"				"0"	// 0 - cvar "ff2_force_team" determines bossteam | 1 - Random | 2 - RED |  3 - BLU
