Maybe it's a problem from the ff2 plugin? I don't know.

Any help please?

Is there any best option to give the bz2 convert on 7-zip or any recommendations so in that way the downloads can be more faster?

I painstakingly manually bzip all my boss files so that I can customize compression levels

Also note that bzip is the least efficient compression and only reduces file size by a third, it will speed up downloads, but not that much if there's alot of big files(Maps and models being the largest downloads)

It also depends on the bandwidth of the receiver, and your FastDL host(I personally use dropbox, it's not the best, but it does pretty good)

I haven't found a fix for this yet, maybe it's just me having the issue: Everytime a boss teleports to someone, they're stuck there, next to impossible to get free from the boss when they teleport to you. I have seen threads on this and some posts on this issue, but I haven't seen a fix. Any ideas?

Do you have any errors in your client console?

@Nanochip: friagram and some other people have posted some solutions (mostly changing where the boss teleports). I'll see if I can do a quick fix though.

EDIT: Also, I've been pretty busy on a different project, so sorry for the lack of updates

Yep the default "couldn't find" error:

Failed to load sound "freak_fortress_2\serpentine\serp_crossbrevon.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository

But as I said the files are exists in the right directory. (Client + Server)

did you try and delete your sound.cache files?

I saw those fixes, however I figured they would cause problems whenever the player is in a tight space, such as the boss getting stuck in a wall.

A quick solution could be to rip code from No Block and disable player collisions between the boss and the victim to whom the boss teleported to.

Okey thats very very strange...

Everytime my server.cfg is over 20 lines then the boss have the "ERROR" model.
If the server.cfg is under 20 lines then all models work.... I mean W T F?

We test it alot and it's wayne which cvar is in the server cfg at the 20. position.

Can someone explain this please? ...

server.cfg with your cvars, what makes errors?

Just remove collisions from the boss for a few seconds on teleport, there's even a handy dandy SetEntData you can use to do this in one line provided you get the CBaseEntity offset for m_CollisionGroup on plugin start

From another plugin: SetEntData(entity, g_offsCollisionGroup, 2, 4, true);
Removes collisions

Also: SetEntProp(ent2, Prop_Send, "m_CollisionGroup", COLLISION_GROUP);
Will also work and doesn't need the offset but is buggier then the other option for some reason

I've been meaning to do this exact thing for some time to that ability, but haven't gotten around to it
