[TF2] Custom Boss Spawner (v.5.0.2) [11/13/2016] - Page 22

Some issues / changes I have found with Boss Spawner:

1. Even though I have set the health parameters the bosses spawn with their default health eg: 3000. No additional HP is added per player on my server. I have checked my cfg's and they all seem fine, i will post them below anyway. No errors generated.

2. Please add a cfg feature to remove hud elements, The countdown till next boss for me is pointless as well as the HP : 3000 when a boss spawns, I don't see the need for HUD HP element when you have the HP Bar. We run other hud elements so disabling hud elements on this plugin would be a blessing. I could manually alter the plugin to remove the hud params, but i think its a feature others may want as well.

3. When you kill Monoculus a Halloween book appears, jumping into or touching this book will teleport you into the roof of the map where you are stuck or must kill yourself. Could you implement a teleport location cfg option for the monoculus book where we can set the x y z location a player is teleported too upon touching the book?

Please let me know if and/or when you can make these changes, if soon i will wait, but i want this running correctly in time for Halloween so if you are too busy let me know and i will make the changes myself.

Thanks.

in bossspawner_maps.cfg there is a line for the telelocation

Code:

"TeleportPosition"	"0.0,0.0,0.0"	//The xyz coordinate seperated by commas which indicate location player is teleported when monoculus/merasmus is killed

Lately it turns out this plugin is the cause of random crashes on my server

Once I've removed it my server stays online until it restart around midnight. I'm going on 4 days of no crashes since its been disabled.

@1 I will take a look at the health scaling
@2 Can be added easily, will be done next version
Also i plan to update the plugin for halloween where i assume there will be a new boss

@fiala06
Try a different sourcemod build, i remember i had to use 3 different sourcemod builds until the crash stopped for me.

Heyo, Thanks for the responses. So it appears the Halloween update is out, and unfortunately no new boss from what I can see.

I wanted to ask if you have started making the changes and if so when you are releasing the next version? I appreciate any info, thanks!

First year without a boss...
Anyways i've been trying to fix this bug and have been unsuccessful in fixing it yet. My plan is to release it on halloween but depends whether i can fix this bug before then.

mysty

how do i uh enable the notification when they spawn? like the usual notification that appears on the left of the screen when a boss appears.

Is it possible to disable the "Boss: xxx seconds" counter for when the next boss will spawn? Do I have to recompile the plugin and edit that line out?

edit: Ended up commenting out some lines and then recompile, seems to have done the trick.

It seems that hitbox scaling is not working well?
I've set my horseman size to 10, and it does spawns very well with big ass size, but the hitbox's still in it original size.

It does work however if the boss's size is less then 1.0, or the boss's merasmus.

--------------------------------------------

No, ignore ^ these.

It seems hitbox scaling doesn't work if the boss spawns with hat model.

Hello,
I was able to get plugin installed and working well. I decided I wanted more so I extracted the extra boss pack and copied the config over. Whenever I spawn one of the custom bosses, I get a big 3D ERROR that runs around killing things. Any ideas?

DeathMaster

Lately iv noticed anytime someone joins or disconnects when the boss is present he is slain.
