^^ Oh i see your edit... Yeah go for it. The bots probably get the values from tfdetect just once at the start of the map, i guess them being a metamod plugin it will called before you can actually do anything with AMXX? Unless maybe if you put AMXX above the Bots in metamod plugins.ini :S?

But why use bots on concmaps

I think your meant to add DispatchSpawn() anyway even if it works?

Call DispatchSpawn() after making these calls if not used in a keyvalue forward.

[chewweh]

I think it will be alright is DispatchSpawn is left out of it actually, as the map will automatically spawn it itself (Unlike with custom entities).

edit:The thing I overlooked

A problem with this actually is that there may be some allies already set in the map, this will overwrite the allies keyvalues given in plugin_init as those that are defined in the map would come later [when the map fires each keyvalue()].

With this method, I think we should add the extra forward keyvalue function to edit any teamX_allies key just incase! This seems to be the problem that requires both Engine and FakeMeta.

Also forget about the bots ! Those in the screenies are my bots written for metamod ;)

init is called when the map starts, after the map entities have been created. The only problem you will have with the current code is if a map has a DM area for say green and yellow which some concmaps do. They won't beable to DM :<

Btw even if you had to use fakemeta for something, you could just replace engine functions with fakemeta versions D:

This concerns me a bit to. The DM parts of many skills maps will be completelly useless. I'm not shure how you would solve this. Could be done with map configs. If you have a map with DM arena you could be able to exclude teams from the anti-damage function. On Euroskillz - Easy plenty of time is spent dm'ing. A lot of players who never done skills play don't get it and just start to DM. And I don't mind as long as there are a DM arena. And even though I shouldnt say it, occational DM wars happens late at night when everyone is to bored to conc. A late friday night j1 concmap2 spam
can be fun if all agrees on it. And it often happens 5 minutes before map change.

Another approach would be a damage sensitive menu.
Let's say someone kills someone on a skills map.
If that happens everyone sees a menu where they can select to punish the one who fragged. If people says "Punish" he can get slayed or kicked or whatever. If people say "No Punish" the guy can keep on fragging until he switch team.

But otherwise I like this problem to be solved somehow, but I'm not shure I agree on cutting out a big part of skills maps in the way you have done.

I've updated the plugin to use a .cfg file which contains the map names that you want the plugin to be enabled on .

Most maps with DM in them have allies set properyl anyway so should not be a problem.

this way you can disable the plugin with maps that have DM and only enable on the maps you want.

Super .
I'll add this as soon as i have time to Euroskillz and we see how it works out.

Maybe you can add something to check if allteamally.cfg exists. If you start plugin now and don't have it, the server begin to loop.

Just got killed on conc_speed, j24 .
No errors, plugin loads as it should.
AMXMODX v1.75a, MetaMod v1.19p28.

[chewweh]

yeah thought something might happen with the config if it didn't exist, although it should :S

I will update the code soon to fix those things.

conc_speed on your server is a bit werid though since the map should be set as allies already (I tested myself on my own server and they were without needing the plugin) so maybe something else is messing around with allies.

I think natti mentioned something about a plugin that tried to mess around with them but it didn't work or something.


Just make sure it's working on other maps, and that it mentions that the Plugin is "ENABLED" in the server log. (i.e. u get thius message "[AMXX TFC TEAMALLY] Plugin ENABLED" or disabled?) which may mean a problem with the code if you get neither (a problem or conflict with pfn_spawn())

edit: oh and you don't need to wait till someone shoots someone to check if it works, just look at them and see if it shows their health and armour, it shows allies with health/armour, enemies with only name

Right! It might be a map which someone sent me ent edited long time ago.
Ill test some more.

A plugin which mess around with people, I never installed such thing ;).

Debug is enabled and I get no log message, but arent you just printing it to console, and not to a log? Why not use log_amx instead?
