[DOD] weapons, classes, teams Addon (request/solution)

TheVaskov · **Author**

Introduction
To avoid chaos. I publish my research on the use of amxx for Day of Defeat strictly in this forum thread. After many years, I hope that the next researcher will find a centralized warehouse of useful information right here. I edited and updated all the messages from my authorship, once there were stupid questions and drafts, but now everything will be structured and understandable here.
My short story logfile:

2015 Internet playing in DOD
2018 Create map dod_froze::Learning Valve Hammer Editor
2019 Help to one guy collecting models and sprites to make japan and ussr mod::learning the Milkshape 3D 1.8.4
2020 CS 1.6 server's modeller and map assistant::learning Blender 2.7
2021 Advanced training in the study of the HL engine, start learning amxx.
2022 Continue AMXX Learning, start learning QuakeC and Godot engines::make mods for Quake, Try to create DOD in GDscript (base online works)
2022 Continue AMXX Learning, creating own plugins.
2023 Continue AMXX Learning, Job with foreign offerer to build HLDS DOD server with custom settings.

So the target is: Add Soviet troops to the game, without replacing the standard ones, add capabilities and weapons. Leave behind a significant collection of information and plugins. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional, and my work needs the right patches.
I hope that I will retire from the computer in 2024, I am already very tired of sitting and wasting my eyesight and strength. I lost a lot of weight, my dog died and my son was born. I don't think anyone really wants to cooperate, but I'm always happy to work in a team. Next, I will give a list of useful sources and links to the section in this branch.

How to start create amxx plugins?
Without any theory, you can always start practicing effectively, but I still recommend taking a shallow but broad basic training:

Learn C, C++, Pawn : You should know what types of data storage exist, what operators, loops and methods. But I haven't found any good programming courses yet, because because of the attempt to adapt scientific knowledge to the consumer, you will be told about some boxes and other shit, instead of making you a professional. But I am sure that such training courses exist
You need to study the related information about Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat.
..they say that Half Life is made on the Quake 2 engine, respectively, Quake 2 on the Quake engine. today, the sources of these games are available to us.
Learn how to create maps, how to make models. what is: face, vertex, hull, wastextures, texture render types, HL entitys.
You should study all the related information regarding the game in order to understand well what data you can access, read, overwrite. what are the limitations of the game on resources (simultaneously pre-cached files on the server, the maximum number of entities, the maximum game space, and so on.)

I recommend:

the official release of AMXX 1.8.2 Full Pack - As the most stable for Day Of Defeat .later versions and variants in ReHLDS do not work cleanly in my opinion
Install AMX Mod X Studio and use it for about a week to feel the weight of fate
Install Visual Studio Code with AMXX addons (open the settings inside the program and activate the available add-on for AMXX and PAWN)
Set up quick launch shortcuts so that your work is convenient, because you will often rewrite some parameters or code options, after which you will need to complement the file, replace it in the server folder, restart the server (sometimes you need to not just write a command, namely close the server application and restart it) I use hotkeys to compile and replace and short commands to restart the server. I save a lot of time thanks to VSCode.
Duplicate key events in your plugins with chat messages with information output, this helps a lot.
Keep in mind that even if you wrote your code absolutely correctly in amxx for DOD, it may not work, because some methods are not reliable. don't be sad.
Study the architecture of the game code and events. read other people's plugins, Test and good luck!

For me, the game processis technically implemented like this:
We have a huge table with ordinal numbers inherent in game objects. these objects may have different types of data in a certain column, but in general, this entire basic data package is updated 100 times per second for smooth movement and fast gameplay. We can overwrite the data in these cells (for example, the name of the player, the number of rounds or the point of his location in the space) all programming is a mathematical function that refers to certain cells or columns in the table. the plugin is a script as an additional part of the code for the existing paradigm. A plugin is a procedure. The game is a product of object-oriented programming.Think about it

Installing AMX mod X for Day of Defeat 1.3 server (Goldsrc) for Windows

Example

DJEarthQuake · 09-26-2021 , 08:26 Re: [DOD] weapons, classes, teams Addon (request/solution)

I suggest optimizing that code a bit.

fysiks · 09-26-2021 , 14:21 Re: [DOD] weapons, classes, teams Addon (request/solution)

A couple months ago when dodplugins.net was up, I grabbed most of the plugins' source code so if you knew of a particular plugin that you are looking for, I could try and find it for you. I didn't backup anything other than the source code (no models, sprites, etc.) so I won't be able to get you those.

How to make your own dod plugin

Example

fysiks · 09-26-2021 , 16:00 Re: [DOD] weapons, classes, teams Addon (request/solution)

If you're new to AMX Mod X scripting, you need to learn to search. Use the tutorial section and practice. There is a whole ton of information about basic scripting.
Orpheu was not written by Arkshine and you generally shouldn't start with it. If there is something specific that you need to do with it that you can't do other ways is when you'll need to get into it.

Make an array.
e.g.

Script I posted today. You could do the same and make 1 function instead of bunches.

Here's one for OP4 not command based just resource drops. Same basic techniques apply.

PHP Code:


			
#include <amxmodx>

new const REPLACE[][] = {"ammo_", "weapon_", "item_"}

new g_map_ent

    new mname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    get_mapname(mname,charsmax(mname));
    g_map_ent = find_ent_by_class(charsmin, tracer)
    if (containi(mname,"op4c") > charsmin || g_map_ent)
        pause "a";
}

public client_getfreestuff(id)
{
    if( !is_user_connected(id) || is_user_bot(id) )
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED_MAIN;

    client_print id, print_chat, "Free random items on spawn!"

    if( is_user_alive(id) && is_user_admin(id) )
    {
        #if AMXX_VERSION_NUM == 182;
        set_task(5.0, "reward", id, _, _, "a", 4);
        #else
        set_task_ex(5.0, "reward", id, .flags = SetTask_RepeatTimes, .repeat = 4);

        give_item(id, "weapon_knife");
    }

        #else
        set_task_ex(10.0, "reward", id, .flags = SetTask_RepeatTimes, .repeat = 2);
        #endif

    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}

public reward(needy)

        if(!is_user_bot(needy))
            client_print(needy, print_center,"^n Free%s!", charity);
    }


}

Pretty sure every include isn't needed on WeaponD2OD

Say full name. All mods. If one does not hear the bell then they do not know how to spell too well.

Code:

#include amxmodx
#include amxmisc
#include fun

#define charsmin                  -1
#define MAX_RESOURCE_PATH_LENGTH   64
public plugin_init() register_plugin("wep intrcp","1.0","SPiNX")

public client_command(id)
if(is_user_connected(id))
{
    new said[MAX_RESOURCE_PATH_LENGTH]
    read_args(said,charsmax(said))
    if(containi(said,"weapon_") != charsmin)
    {
        client_print id, print_console, "%s", said

        if(is_running("dod") == 1)
        {
            strip_user_weapons(id)
            give_item(id,"weapon_colt")
            give_item(id,"weapon_spade")
            give_item(id,"weapon_handgrenade")
            give_item(id,"weapon_stickgrenade")

        }
        give_item(id,said)
        client_cmd(id,"spk buttons/bell1.wav");

    }


}
