nice. you should expand it into a full plugin that can change out any number of files on all maps for a sort of pseudo dynamic maps.

Nice work Atomic.

Edit: There is a problem with the plugin. The first team will go and it will be dynamic but the second team to go gets to choose what path they want to use. All of the nav blockers unblock. This is a big problem in the mall as you can not activate the crescendo for the second team. They can't open the door and they can pass right though the glass meaning no crescendo and a real easy map, makes it pointless.

I edited my cemetery dynamic config to fit with Atomic's plugin, I think I got it right I am going to test it right now.

Edit: Stick with the original for now until Atomic can iron out the bugs in the plugin.

its not his plugin - i believe it has to do with a problem ive been trying to resolve for a long time with random spawns.

when using the exact same code i used in l4d1.. first half is good, 2nd half has nothing.

Damn.. I totally missed the post about it not workign and just updated everything on the server.. doh!

Maybe this has to do with how l4d2 is designed? The trigger has to happen again for the blockers to be set up? When team changes, it resets them? Probably along with all the items and such. Doh!

Is it possible to put some extra, unused data into one of the entities? Then the plugin that triggers could like know what to do. For example, you can put the value of 5 in that data. When the map loads and the plugin reads that data, it knows there are 5 possible triggers so it looks for entities named random_path_relay1-5 or something. (I guess it could just look for them and just use what they find) Then based on whatever logic, (score or random) it would just fire the same entity on each round_start event.

Its not a Plugin bug if the damn maps reset/break themselves on second round. I didnt anticipate that.

Heeere we go.

I've re-written the plugin and all important config files (C1M3, C5M1, C5M2, C5M3).

The Plugin randomly selects easy medium or hard route, for BOTH teams. There is an admin command (cheats flag) "sm_forcepath (easy|medium|hard)" to override the random pathing at any moment, for the remainder of the current map.

Ive fixed up files and entities so changing routes mid-map is possible.

Do look at how the stripper files are built if you intend to make your own to work with the plugin.

Also note ive made necessary changes so coop/survival/scavenge isnt affected anymore.

EDIT:

Updated Mall file ...

read replies 504 and 505.

Works great Atomic just one problem in C1M3. Both paths get blocked for the second team so this happens:

Interesting how a filter whose trigger i KILL is still firing.

Valve bugs, anyone? Oh well i fixed it, redownload the package.
