Battle Mages Help
Battle Mages introduces magic to Counter-Strike. To start, you first need to choose a school. Different schools has different magic’s, a menu in which you can choose a school will appear when it is a new round and if you have yet to choose a school.
Battle Mages also features an xp system and a spell upgrade system.
You can’t upgrade your spells until you get xp, you get xp automatically while playing. When you level up you will be able to put your points at a spell of your choice by using the main menu (Check binds below on how to display it).
When you master a spell, you will receive a nice bonus or a completely new spell.
Now you need to bind a key to be able to cast magic. You do so by typing:
bind key bm_castmagic
in the console. Where key is the button which you will use to cast magic. Example:
bind f bm_castmagic
Now, every time you press the f key, you will cast magic.
Useful commands to bind:
To cast magic:
bind key bm_castmagic
To choose next magic:
bind key bm_nextmagic
To choose previous magic:
bind key bm_prevmagic
To view the main menu from where you can choose to view help, change school and more
bind key bm_menu
To change school (Can also be reached via the main menu):
bind key bm_changeschool
The main menu has several options: Select spell upgrades, change school, reset spell upgrades, this help and help about the school you are currently in.
When you press the bm_changeschool button or selecting it via the main menu, a menu will appear from which you can choose your next school. Although you wont change school until the beginning of next round.
Type bm_schoolhelp after you choose a school to display information about that
school.
Good Luck!
Battle Mages School Help
Elemental Mage
The Elemental Mage is the master of elements
Fireball
A tool of destruction. The fireball will fly and explode upon impact, causing massive area damage. A spell which Tommho the great elemental mage was first to cast and was also the first spell ever learned.
Ice Implosion
A cold spell slowing the opponents while the ice from the icy gusts inflicts damage. Created during the great hunt to slow the targets, making them easy prey.
Magma Shield
A defensive yet offensive spell. While it melts bullets coming close making the damage lesser towards the elemental mage. It also damages the attackers through
the heat. Created as a defense against the illusionists stealthy tactics.
Enchant Weapon
Enchanting the common weapons with magic, causing the bullets to inflict more damage. Crafted when Life mages arrived with their superior shields.
Enchant Weapon Fire
An upgrade to the usual enchant weapon. With a good shot these enchanted bullets can do damage over time to an opponent. A simple upgrade not long after the initial spell was crafted.
Stone Shield
Creates a shield of stone from the stone and sand nearby. Although it can be razed, it still provides a way to close off an exit, shield the mage from view and offer some small protection versus bullets. Rumor has it that masters of this spell can walk and shoot through the shield as it pleases him. Created by a paranoid mage, time unknown.
Energy Mage
The Energy Mage is the master of the energies that surrounds us all.
Lightning Strike
Pure energy strikes the target of the mage. A simple spell which was the one spell that made the founder of the energy school interested in energy spells.
Chain Lightning
After the first strike, the energy splits up to find things in the proximity. These “things” happens to be other mages. A masterpiece crafted by the founder of the energy school.
Lightning Speed
Manipulates the surrounding energy. Allowing the mage to run faster and making gears weightless. Watching his master with awe, the apprentice of the founder created this spell to be able to do the “meaningless” chores quickly to have time with other things.
Planar Armor
Reaching energies beyond our world, the mage creates a shield sturdier than anything else in the world. Finally the energy mages had the knowledge to reach out further than even the founder thought possible.
Ghost Armor
Not only applying planar energies on the mage, it also partially transports the mage to the other plane.
Leech
Reaches into the energies of a close by mage and transfers it to the mage. It was finally discovered that the energies inside a mage could actually be transferred. The mage that crafted this spell also abused it to gain an advantage.
Aura of Leech
A field around the mage which automatically transfer energy to the mage. Crafted thanks to the crafter of the first spell, who “volunteered” to have his energy transferred to others.
Force Field
Lightning energy within a field that damages anyone inside that field. Since the discovery that fields can be set up, a brilliant young mage used that new knowledge together with the simple spell Lightning Strike to create a powerful new spell.
Illusion Mage
The Illusion Mage manipulates how others see reality.
Invisibility
Although doesn’t hide the mage completely, it does make the mage a lot harder to spot. Created by Jazmina who accidentally triggered the spell when she was studying the ancient teachings. She became the youngest master throughout the history and also the leader of the illusionists.
Supreme Invisibility
Grants the user total invisibility. However since it requires a lot of concentration to sustain this illusion, the mage cannot walk as fast as normal and if the mage starts attacking someone, the illusion fades.
Mana Shield
Shielding against most of the damage, decreasing mana instead of life. With the minds in center the illusionists created a way of defense.
Mind Blast
The mage reaches out to opponents in an area and damages them through a psychic attack making it hard for them to see straight. The illusionists finally turned their eyes on other people, devising ways to play with other minds than their own.
Mind Flare
Creates a havoc of agony in the minds of mages in an area. To fire weapons or spells straight with this spell on is nearly impossible.
Self Illusion
The mages takes on the illusion of a predator. Not only changing the looks, but also granting the mage to do massive damage with a knife. Created during the assassination days, when the emperor paid a huge amount of money to get rid of his enemies.
Replenish Mana
Replenishes mana. Crafted since they could no longer upgrade their invisibility and mana shield, and the current form used up a great amount of mana fast.
Mana Regeneration
Creates a field around the head of the illusionist. Soothing the mind of the mage and constantly replenishes mana. Created after spying on the energy mages, learning their secret of fields.
Life Mage
The Life Mage uses the energy of the nature. Asking it to help them.
Heal Self
Simple healing spell. Together with heal other, this was the first spell created by the Life Mages. First discovered by Y'lien healing a burn wound that Tommho, the leader of the elemental school, had accidentally hit him with.
Heal Other
Simple healing spell, but directed towards others.
Full Heal Self
Powerful healing spell that also cures bad effects.
Full Heal Other
Powerful healing spell that also cures bad effects on a friend.
Shield of Y’lien
Increases the life of the mage. Created by Y’lien, the mage calls for the nature to inhabit the body of the mage.
Shield of Y’lienelle
Increases the life of the mage, and also returns a small amount of damage back to the attacker. Created by Y’lienelle the daughter of Y’lien by accident. Y’lien was teaching her his shield spell, but Y’lienelle had her concentration on a beautiful rose and its thorns, which gave the spell some exceptional properties.
Regeneration
Accelerates the normal healing power of the human body. A spell created by Y’lien and his daughter Y’lienelle after their discovery of the rose. By concentrating on some wildlife with good natural regeneration, they were able to add that regeneration on their own bodies.
Avatar
Powerful spell that allows a mage to take a huge amount of damage for a short period of time. When Y’lienelle was returning home one day, her village was attacked by renegade elemental mages. Possessed with an extremely strong will to save everyone, she triggered one of the most powerful spells of the life mages. Thanks to the quick thinking of her father, who healed her while using the spell to defend her people. Both she and her people survived that day

Thank you everyone who puts their codes up for people to see, great way to learn how to code.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I only use MySQL server to save xp?
I have only tested it with MySQL. I don't know if the query's will work with other database servers.
I get the error bad load when I try to use this plugin, why?
Check so that you have all the necessary modules loaded (cstrike, engine, fun and mysql).
It just doesn't work! Why?
Perhaps if you provide some information I might just help you solve the problem.
How to install
• Make sure amxmodx version 1.0 or later is installed
• Make sure the modules cstrike, engine, fun and mysql are enabled
• Extract the zip file in your cstrike folder
• Run the server
Note:
The self illusion model is quite large (size: 2 400 692 bytes), and every player must download it to use it. If you dont like that, then you can change the cvar bm_usepredator 1, to bm_usepredator 0 and uncomment it in the config file. Battle Mages will then use the old Halflife model for robo instead. Looks like crap, but ok if you dislike large downloads.
Line in battlemages.cfg:
//bm_usepredator 1
Change to
bm_usepredator 0
