MiniVS - A Vampire-Slayer port



☉ Description

MiniVS is a port of Vampire-Slayer as a mini-mod for Half-Life multiplayer. Players won't need to download anything outside of the game to play on your server.

☰ Commands

• say !team - Show team menu.
• say !class Show class menu.
• sv_restart - Restart the game, both teams scores are reset.
• sv_restartround - Restart the round.
• mp_roundtime <value> - Round time in seconds. Default: 180.

☰ Requirements

• HLDS Build 8308 or newer.
• Last AMXX 1.9
• HL Player Models API
• HL Weapon Mod 0.8
• HL Restore Map API

☉ Preview



⤓ Download

• Source package contains the source code of the mod.
• Full package contains compiled plugins with Orpheu and WeaponMod ready to use.
• Maps package contains the map pack for MiniVS.

You will find the Full package along with the Source (maps package too) here.

⚙ Installation

1. Install everything required before you install MiniVS or nothing will work.
2. Download the attached files and extract them in valve folder.
3. Compile all the files and save them in your plugins folder.

Now you are ready to play MiniVS.

⛏ To do

• ☐ Add CTC mode (Capture the Cross) and mode where slayers have to destroy all coffins.
• ☐ Add missing weapons for Molly and Eightball.
• ☐ Add missing powers for Louis and Nina.
• ☐ Add human decapitation.
• ☐ Add reload animations for third-person mode (Hack this by changing the animation extension).
• ☐ Add motorcycles.
• ☐ Improve bots support. RCBot works but slayers don't know how to kill vampires and vampires need to do high jump only when target is too high from them.

☆ Thanks to:

• KORD_12.7 for his HL Stocks and HL Weapon Mod.
• BIGs & X-RaY for the KSG-12 weapon.

☉ Notes

• The mod has multi-language support. You can translate the plugin into any language editing minivs.txt file found in lang's folder.
• Corpses limit has been raised to 8. Default is 4.
• This weapon mod version crashes with some maps. Using the latest one fixes the issue, but it doesn't work with latest HLDS build.
• The maps in the mapcycle work out of the box. I do not guarantee anything with the others ones.

Please, feel free to create any issues or pull requests, any feedback will be appreciated.

Yeah, the only problem I have is with WeaponMod that is not compatible with ReHLDS, or something doesn't work well in Windows or Linux, causing crashes, etc. That's something I should adress for my next mod.

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

glmmlg, I need more information, show me the output from these commands:

version
amxx plugins

Are you sure you installed everything required? I see ReAPI there, probably it doesn't work in ReHLDS, meaning you should use original HLDS.

Really is a pain to install this mod, too many dependencies and too many files to compile. I should include a full mod package next time with everything configured to avoid any issue.

Look, I downloaded everything and started from zero in this order and it worked perfectly

Last HLDS from SteamCMD -> Latest Metamod-P from SoloKiller and latest AMXX v1.9 -> Orpheu 2.6.3 -> HL Player Models API 1.2 -> HL Restore Map API -> HL Weapon Mod v.0.8 -> MiniVS

Probably you installed WeaponMod before MiniVS?

Hi rtxa, great work with this mod, really hope to get a server up and running for it.

First of all I tried this with windows locally, I followed the step by step instructions and everything is running. I do have a couple of issues if you might have any advise on. Server works and I can join the game, however crosshairs appear to be missing for the weapons. I don't know if this is something to do with Bug fixed HL or with Weapon Mod.

I host my main servers using Linux, so I followed the same steps as I did with windows and I am able to start a server using Linux with all plugins running. However, once I try to connect to the server, I receive the following errors and the server crashes, so I am not actually able to join the server, it crashes as I connect.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the first dump from the console

Hi sook, thanks for trying the mod. I know that is not easy to setup this mod. I had some issues in the past with some incompatibilities when using Linux and some crashes which I'm not sure if it comes from my side or from modules like Weapon Mod or Orpheu.

What I know is that some maps of VS don't work for no reason and the server crashes, you should try to start the server with more simpler ones like vs_quaint. Also, I need to know what HLDS version you are using, with all the new updates (particularly 25th anniversary update), the mod it's probably broken.

I'm gonna try update the mod to work with latest BugfixedHL by tmp64, which has native support for WeaponMod (which is the module it has been giving me headaches when working on the mod). Probably, it could have been easier to work this by modifying the HLSDK code instead of trying to do things using AMX Mod X and Metamod, but I just like to do things the hard way for no reason ��.
