those guys with their exclusive vip mod servers will be soooo angry ^^

Looks really nice, good job.

There is one map made by TopHattWaffle (http://www.tophattwaffle.com/?p=1659)

Where we wanted to change how the map defines a rescure zone because it can become a hassle getting the points in a server command,

so to make that one work you need to hook any trigger_multiple's OnTriggerTouch with the name vip_escape and find the activator.

Hey got this running on one of my servers, having issues with the skin for VIP they just show up blank with weapons you can see on them.

Maps and other things seem to download fine from the fastdownloads just wondering if I have maybe something setup wrong or missing.

Also pulled these errors from the errorlog.

14:44:27: [SM] Plugin encountered error 15: Array index is out of bounds

14:44:27: [SM]   [1]  Line 303, VIPMod.sp::OnRoundEnd()

Thanks for this mod as well it was great fun in the past.

Ive had this with a VIP plug in the past and It turned out that if a vip was given "VIP Status" mid game this would happen, it wasnt until they logged off and rejoined that they were visible again. just a thought.

You need to install the base archive at the very least to get the VIP Models. If you've done this (and haven't hot loaded the plugin). I'll try and reproduce it.

No problem, have fun with it

1.0b is up, which should solve the array issue(s).

[st0rm_r1der]

I tested this gret mod on my linux server.
1st round works well, vip could be rescued.
2nd round terrorists has been killed.
3rd round vip has been killed

hafter that no rescue of vip possible...

L 01/11/2011 - 01:28:14: [SM] Native "SetEntProp" reported: Entity -1 (-1) is invalid

thanks for the refresh of this great mod!

could you add some logging outputs for hlstatsx:ce?
e.g.: VIP rescued / VIP killed / X becomes a VIP
and so on...

[edit] ahh i see, there is a bit already in the logs
-> VIP_Not_Escaped
-> VIP_Escaped

but
(Became_VIP / Escaped_As_VIP / Assassinated_The_VIP) -> as PLayerstats would be great

[edit2]
can you add a cvar for restrict VIP to humans?
and an function for admin to choose an human player as an VIP
or an VIP Vote would be great!

Hi st0rm_r1der!

I'm unable to reproduce this error as I've had a -1 check there (it's been there since the initial release, iirc). You didn't modify the source trying to do something odd did you? There are multiple checks before that that should fail and not allow the plugin to reach that function.

No problem. I'll add it as soon as possible.

I don't think I can do the cvar to restrict it to humans. However I'll add the functionality to allow an admin to make a player the VIP.

At the moment I'm contemplating a complete rewrite to use Greyscale's SM base (just so sharing modules would be easy, and I don't have to reinvent the wheel).

[rambomst]

I test this out on a Windows server and had a few issues.

1. I used the VIP model you provided but the VIPs were invisible the whole time.
2. VIPs keep their weapons they had the previous round like M4A1's etc.

and a suggestion perhaps add an option to be able to add the chopper models to the download table.

*edit*

3. Round ends saying VIP hasn't escaped even tho the time limit hasn't reached 0.
