Hello,
we are looking for someone to modify/correct an 'Invisible Spectator' mod made by necavi.
he is no longer developing this mod and suggested to ask the community for help.

(Game: CSS)

the mod is called 'admin stealth'

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1796351

there are two problems:
1. players become automatically visible, starting each round.
- invisibility should remain till manually changed.

2. connect and disconnect, to the server, is not working when going into 'stealth/invisible' mod.
- it should should show disconnect when going into invisible mod and connect when switching to visible.

I am not a programmer and have no idea how to modify the code/script.

Can anyone help, please?

thanks

Sorry, I didn't understand everything...
What you want do is :
Make player totally invisible when they are in spec team, right ?

I think he say invisible is not working.

On player spawn player should start visible untill manually changed to invisible by command.
Once invisible command call player will invisible and it should PrintToChatAll player "cheat" has disconnected.

EDIT: it sound too cheatty but i like this idea.. lolxx

Okay, gonna do this.

Original plugin updated and fixed. My version is not needed anymore !
Link to the original plugin : http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1796351

--- Admin Stealth (Arkarr's edition) ---

command(s) :

sm_stealth - Active the invisibility on your sefl, type again to go back visibile

Cvar(s) :

sm_stealth_welcomemsg "The player [PLAYERNAME] as join the game" - Display this message when someone become visible.

sm_stealth_leftmsg "The player [PLAYERNAME] as left the game" - Display this message when someone become invisible.

Installation :

1) Put the AdminStealth.smx in your plugins folder
2) Reload plugins folder (sm plugins reload), change map or restart server
3) DONE !

thank you for the replies!
1. this is far from a 'cheat' mod! to the contrary. it enables admins to be invisible and track hackers undetected.
2. Arkarr, thank you for starting to modify the mod.
i have tested it.
current results:
1. sm_stealth does not make me invisible anymore.
2. when entering sm_stealth, it only shows the connect message.

hopefully you can look into it again. this mod is so needed on our servers!

thanks.

PS. mod purpose...to be sure,
1. when entering sm_stealth, admin will be invisible and a player disconnect message will show on the server.
2. when entering sm_stealth again, admin will be visible again and a player connect message will show on the server.

Perfect would be, if a cfg file is generated and i can assign steam id's, to be sure that only certain people can use this mod.

The error shouldn't be a big deal to fix. I have 1 more question, about wich game are we talking ? I Used it on TF2 and everything wroked fine.

NOTE: You need to use this plugin in a team else then spectator.

sm_stealth should only work when dead or in spec. actually, that doesn't matter. as long as admin becomes invisible and a disconnect message appears.

If you have any specific questions about why things are the way they are with the code, feel free to ask - it is by its very nature pretty hacky, being as it uses teams that don't exist. Behaviour between games can be very different.

Holy cow.. i go thru this page few times and didnt notice he actually did not mention what game..


EDIT: Arkarr, as i remember, you need to loose all his weapon except the active one in order to make his equipment invisible or remove them. Once they enter visible mode restore the weapon.
If i m not mistaken, if the player change weapon, the last active weapon or the new active will be visible. Not quite sure since my last CSS plugin, but it will be visible somehow.


EDIT2: Ico, check your other plugin that may use player alpha ( visible/invisible ). If you have one, remove them and test the plugin again. From my read thru the plugin, it should do just fine.
