since this is still in beta, will the items will have separate costs? like this one is with money the others with APs.

@abdul : Correct .

because other items that are simple will only cost money.

while special items will only use APs.


like an online game.

[ZP] Game mode selection is running into an infinite loop. Check server settings.

What's wrong . I just add some features to frost nades ,add some human classes , extra items ( old ones )
And then I encounter this .
All game modes are enabled .

I remind abdul words again...

@MeRcyLeZZ: i think we should remove the current method through which game modes are selected becoz:
1- Not all game modes are given a chance every time
In ZP 4.3 every game mode was given a chance since you use to check the chance level for every game mode (and you know how well it works)

PHP Code:

    // Set up some common vars
    static forward_id, sound[64], iZombies, iMaxZombies
    
    if ((mode == MODE_NONE && (!get_pcvar_num(cvar_preventconsecutive) || g_lastmode != MODE_SURVIVOR) && random_num(1, get_pcvar_num(cvar_survchance)) == get_pcvar_num(cvar_surv) && iPlayersnum >= get_pcvar_num(cvar_survminplayers)) || mode == MODE_SURVIVOR)
    {
         // Lots of code
    }
    else if ((mode == MODE_NONE && (!get_pcvar_num(cvar_preventconsecutive) || g_lastmode != MODE_SWARM) && random_num(1, get_pcvar_num(cvar_swarmchance)) == get_pcvar_num(cvar_swarm) && iPlayersnum >= get_pcvar_num(cvar_swarmminplayers)) || mode == MODE_SWARM)
    {        
             // Lots of code
    }
    else if ((mode == MODE_NONE && (!get_pcvar_num(cvar_preventconsecutive) || g_lastmode != MODE_MULTI) && random_num(1, get_pcvar_num(cvar_multichance)) == get_pcvar_num(cvar_multi) && floatround(iPlayersnum*get_pcvar_float(cvar_multiratio), floatround_ceil) >= 2 && floatround(iPlayersnum*get_pcvar_float(cvar_multiratio), floatround_ceil) < iPlayersnum && iPlayersnum >= get_pcvar_num(cvar_multiminplayers)) || mode == MODE_MULTI)
    {
         // Lots of code
    }
    else if ((mode == MODE_NONE && (!get_pcvar_num(cvar_preventconsecutive) || g_lastmode != MODE_PLAGUE) && random_num(1, get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguechance)) == get_pcvar_num(cvar_plague) && floatround((iPlayersnum-(get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguenemnum)+get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguesurvnum)))*get_pcvar_float(cvar_plagueratio), floatround_ceil) >= 1
    && iPlayersnum-(get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguesurvnum)+get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguenemnum)+floatround((iPlayersnum-(get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguenemnum)+get_pcvar_num(cvar_plaguesurvnum)))*get_pcvar_float(cvar_plagueratio), floatround_ceil)) >= 1 && iPlayersnum >= get_pcvar_num(cvar_plagueminplayers)) || mode == MODE_PLAGUE)
    {
         // Lots of code
    }
    else
    {
        // Lots of code
        if ((mode == MODE_NONE && (!get_pcvar_num(cvar_preventconsecutive) || g_lastmode != MODE_NEMESIS) && random_num(1, get_pcvar_num(cvar_nemchance)) == get_pcvar_num(cvar_nem) && iPlayersnum >= get_pcvar_num(cvar_nemminplayers)) || mode == MODE_NEMESIS)
        {
            // Lots of code
        }
    } 


2- Also in this new method you are first selecting a gamemode randomly and then applying another random chance level of the game mode which reduces every game modes chance to be chosen.

So a new method should be implemented in which looping is done and every mode is given a chance, then the respective game mode would apply the random chance level, if it returns PLUGIN_HANDLED then the loop should continue, in the end infection mode should be chosen to start if no other mode has started yet

I m just quoting this from our original project, this is what i mean (in code):
Also i have been using this method to select custom game modes in ZPA as well and it works pretty well

    // No custom game modes registered, start infection mode instead
    if (g_gameModeCount == 1) {
        start_game_mode(MODE_INFECTION, players[random(playerCount)])
        return;
    }
    
    // Loop through every custom game mode present
    // This is to ensure that every game mode is given a chance
    static gameMode, gameModeData[eModeInfo]
    for (gameMode = 1; gameMode < g_gameModeCount; gameMode++)
    {
        // Retrieve the game mode's data
        ArrayGetArray(g_aGameModes, gameMode, gameModeData)
        
        // Unpause it
        unpause("ac", gameModeData[File]);
        
        // Inform the game mode about its turn, this is where it will decide to run itself or block itself
        ExecuteForward(g_Forwards[fwGameModeStarting], g_Forwards[fwDummy])
        
        // Useful Debug!
        client_print(0, print_chat, "[ZP debug info] Return Value: %d", g_Forwards[fwDummy])
        
        // The game mode doesnt want to run itself
        if (g_Forwards[fwDummy] >= PLUGIN_HANDLED)
        {
            // Pause this one and give other game modes a chance
            pause("ac", gameModeData[File])
            
            // Debug!
            client_print(0, print_chat, "[ZP debug info] Game Mode %d refused to start!", gameMode)
            continue;
        }
        else
        {
            // Otherwise start the game mode
            start_game_mode(gameMode, players[random(playerCount)])
            return;
        }
    }
    
    // No game mode started ? Start the default infection mode
    start_game_mode(MODE_INFECTION, players[random(playerCount)])

Using this method we wont require checks for infinite loop thing etc, otherwise its up to you

Recheck your game mode's cvars, there might be a problem.

I'm going to recode it to be like ZP 4.3. For this I'm also planning to add a native to specify which should be the mode to fall back to (by default Infection Mode), then we can avoid the infinite loop situation entirely.

I can add to items a third parameter which would specify which should be used. So by default it would work with both, but you will be able to change that in zp_extraitems.ini.

Aren't that abit too much includes? You guys really sure to keep it like it is right now?
