Wow.. this may take awhile. There are tons of bugs. The bugs isn't the hard part, the hard part is me getting used to the new 1.7 syntax :/

Watch the Develop Branch of https://github.com/War3Evo/VSH-Advanced/commits/develop for progress information.

Actually it's not hard, it was alot easier for me lol...

I love typing 'float' instead of 'new Float:' everytime I want a float vector array.

I actually like putting 'void' for functions that don't return anything without having to scan them if they return an int or not.

Should be somewhat testable. Only has Saxton Hale boss at this time.

I'm managed to convert the private forwards so that it will send to "all bosses". I'm working on converting this so that it will support multiple bosses. The multiple boss support is not yet ready.

There is still much to do, in order to make it easier on developers of sub-plugins. I'm still working on a way to reload sub-plugins during game play. With all these Timers, Its going to be very frustrating to create something that will allow a sub-plugin to reload during game play.

I think it maybe playable, but don't expect much right now. It still has more development to go.

To make development go faster, I plan to add another boss tomorrow.

Anyone want to take a stab at it, and make suggestions are welcome.

I'll have a look at it and remake HHHJr if you want

xXDeathreusXx, that would be nice. I just pushed an update to fix this plugin's model issue on spawn. A bunch of the current work I plan to do is make it more developer friendly and make the code easier to read.

I am happy to say, that I've added a easy way to add models, sounds, materials, and other misc configuration stuff.

for instance, you put VSHA_LoadConfiguration("configs/vsha/saxtonhale.cfg"); in your public void OnAllPluginsLoaded() function.

Or you can just handle it mainly via a triggered public void VSHA_AddToDownloads(){};

That is the developer's choice. I personally think having VSHA handle the loading of your configuration file is much easier than creating your custom loader.

if you want VSHA engine to Precache files for you, just change bPreCacheFile to true, or bPreCacheModel to true.

if you want VSHA engine to Add To Downloads Table, then change bAddFileToDownloadsTable to true.

VSHA_OnConfiguration_Load_Misc(char[] skey, char[] value) is created so that if you want to have custom configurations in the same file as the models, sounds, and materials.. then you can add those into a section called "misc" {} in the configuration file, and load them into your sub plugin.

You can check how I did it in this link: https://github.com/War3Evo/VSH-Advan...-saxtonhale.sp

To get details on what I've done so far, check out: https://github.com/War3Evo/VSH-Advanced/commits/develop

Overall, the whole focus is flexibility.


Note: I still need to make it easier to handle "Multiple Bosses" for SaxtonHale sub plugin. Currently I do not think I'm handling that part easily. It is doable, but not easy for the developer.

Just note this plugin will be compatible to allow a Multiple Boss Mode if the server owner wants to enable that feature.

I still need to figure out how to go about that.. In the "force teams" part as far as mutliple boss mode. If anyone knowledgeable on how FF2 does that, please let me know.

I fixed quite a big of bugs found while playing the game a bit. It now is more playable, and the issue with changing maps is now gone.

I haven't gotten around to making another boss yet for multiple boss preparations... but I do plan to play testing it with more people other than myself.

[El Diablo War3Evo]

With current fixes, this game is now playable. You get to only play Saxton Hale, because that is the only sub-plugin working right now. Hopefully either me or other developers could create some new sub-plugins for it.

The only issues currently.. The balance of the game sucks a lot! Spies can kill Hale in one backstab, various weapons shouldn't be allowed, etc. The balance part of the game needs alot of work. I'm not sure if I will have the VSH engine balance the game out, or let the sub-plugins handle their own balancement.

I personally think the sub-plugins should handle balancing for themselves, so when multiple bosses are played, each boss can have its own weakness and strengths.

Some commands need to be added... like checking how many que points you have, and a few other commands I can't seem to remember.

I moved the stable code to the Master Branch, but I will still continue to keep the default branch on develop.

PHP Code:

you put VSHA_LoadConfiguration("configs/vsha/saxtonhale.cfg"); in your 


Why not just load anything that happens to be in that folder?

Capital letters in keyvalue files is bad... well, at least if you're writing to them - they won't write capital letters which will break your stuff most likely.

It looks like it wouldn't be too hard, I'll have a go at making all the current VSH bosses, except maybe EB, I never felt he belonged
