not if u hit in the mid hitbox, they nvr go flying.

to anyone whom this concerns

In my VSH server, I decided to change the map to cp_dustbowl for the lulz to play normal maps with the modded vsh weapons, when we finished the first part of the map, hale appeared as the entire blue team of the map and made everyone go "wtf lol" so we played normal with hale trying to kill us and cap the point, but as soon as hale died trying to cap the second last point, my server crashed with me going LOL as i restarted it.
What im trying to say is, how do I make plugin more CP or payload friendly?

I KNOW THAT HALE IS DESIGNED FOR ARENA, but im wondering for other gametypes can it be done?

It can be done with KOTH using a special config/method (read the thread a bit, search button, Stripper:Source)

Also, doesn't matter where you hit them, only where you hit them from. If you hit them straight downwards they of course won't fly. But chances are you hit them off to the side.

Is it possible to make hale run on cp maps without crashes?
Its funny in the fact that u gotta keep hale from capping the first point just by bouncing him around.

It depends on how you hit them e.g. if Hale is on level ground with me, he can get me easily, but if I'm above him, then yes, I go flying. I go flying too if Hale is crouching and whacks my head xD. Maybe increase the damage against dead ringer even more so you don't have to three-hit KO them anymore?

[FlaminSarge]

That's the plan.

nergal: no.

I found a small bug in the player_death code.
All my regulars were complaining that dead ringer spies had a different kill icon (the shovel one instead of the fists one) and therefore were easier to spot.
The problem is with:

PHP Code:

if (!IsValidClient(client) || GetClientHealth(client) > 0)
        return Plugin_Continue; 


that should be:

PHP Code:

if (!IsValidClient(client) || (GetClientHealth(client) > 0 && TF2_GetPlayerClass(client) != TFClass_Spy))
        return Plugin_Continue; 


I do understand this was added to prevent fake kills from being counted, but apart from the goomba plugin I have nothing else that fakes kills in my server, and I also added some checks for the weapon_logclassname to prevent goombas from being counted. You could add a check for the goomba kill though, since I believe all VSH servers don't have anything else that fakes kills.

So THAT'S where that bug is. Thanks. Completely missed it for the longest time. I may have that as a cvar if I don't nerf DR spies.

Lol, I've always used this to my advantage whenever I'm Hale, it'd be great if it was a cvar.

Also, as spy, even without the dead ringer delay it's still quite hard to get away from a stab because hale always gets the floating ghosts when he rages xD

Oh and are you still taking suggestions for the Manno Technology bundle?

EDIT: Hmm...what if the Fan O War was like the Jarate? I.e. hitting vag shortens his uber, and with cbs it removes an arrow? Or maybe cbs arrow removal is too OP...

where do we find some of the required things like <colors> to permit compiling VSH

or will someone post the compiled plugin with the latest bug fix?
