as you know all options of models and sounds in zp 4.3 make in .INI file

but 4.2 source code have this instead .INI file:

PHP Code:

// Sounds (randomly chosen if more than one)
new const sound_win_zombies[][] = { "ambience/the_horror1.wav", "ambience/the_horror3.wav", "ambience/the_horror4.wav" }
new const sound_win_humans[][] = { "zombie_plague/win_humans1.wav", "zombie_plague/win_humans2.wav" }
new const sound_win_no_one[][] = { "ambience/3dmstart.wav" }
new const zombie_infect[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_infec1.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_infec2.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_infec3.wav", "scientist/c1a0_sci_catscream.wav", "scientist/scream01.wav" }
new const zombie_pain[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_pain1.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_pain2.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_pain3.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_pain4.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_pain5.wav" }
new const nemesis_pain[][] = { "zombie_plague/nemesis_pain1.wav", "zombie_plague/nemesis_pain2.wav", "zombie_plague/nemesis_pain3.wav" }
new const zombie_die[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_die1.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_die2.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_die3.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_die4.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_die5.wav" }
new const zombie_fall[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_fall1.wav" }
new const zombie_miss_slash[][] = { "weapons/knife_slash1.wav", "weapons/knife_slash2.wav" }
new const zombie_miss_wall[][] = { "weapons/knife_hitwall1.wav" }
new const zombie_hit_normal[][] = { "weapons/knife_hit1.wav", "weapons/knife_hit2.wav", "weapons/knife_hit3.wav", "weapons/knife_hit4.wav" }
new const zombie_hit_stab[][] = { "weapons/knife_stab.wav" }
new const zombie_idle[][] = { "nihilanth/nil_now_die.wav", "nihilanth/nil_slaves.wav", "nihilanth/nil_alone.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_brains1.wav", "zombie_plague/zombie_brains2.wav" }
new const zombie_idle_last[][] = { "nihilanth/nil_thelast.wav" }
new const zombie_madness[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_madness1.wav" }
new const sound_nemesis[][] = { "zombie_plague/nemesis1.wav", "zombie_plague/nemesis2.wav" }
new const sound_survivor[][] = { "zombie_plague/survivor1.wav", "zombie_plague/survivor2.wav" }
new const sound_swarm[][] = { "ambience/the_horror2.wav" }
new const sound_multi[][] = { "ambience/the_horror2.wav" }
new const sound_plague[][] = { "zombie_plague/nemesis1.wav", "zombie_plague/survivor1.wav" }
new const grenade_infect[][] = { "zombie_plague/grenade_infect.wav" }
new const grenade_infect_player[][] = { "scientist/scream20.wav", "scientist/scream22.wav", "scientist/scream05.wav" }
new const sound_survivor[][] = { "zombie_plague/grenade_explode.wav" }
new const grenade_fire_player[][] = { "zombie_plague/zombie_burn3.wav","zombie_plague/zombie_burn4.wav","zombie_plague/zombie_burn5.wav","zombie_plague/zombie_burn6.wav","zombie_plague/zombie_burn7.wav" }
new const grenade_frost[][] = { "warcraft3/frostnova.wav" }
new const grenade_frost_player[][] = { "warcraft3/impalehit.wav" }
new const grenade_frost_break[][] = { "warcraft3/impalelaunch1.wav" }
new const grenade_flare[][] = { "items/nvg_on.wav" }
new const sound_antidote[][] = { "items/smallmedkit1.wav" }
new const sound_thunder[][] = { "zombie_plague/thunder1.wav", "zombie_plague/thunder2.wav" } 


for example 4.2 have this code:

PHP Code:

new const sound_survivor[][] = { "zombie_plague/survivor1.wav", "zombie_plague/survivor2.wav" } 


PHP Code:

        // Play survivor sound 
        PlaySound(sound_survivor[random_num(0, sizeof sound_survivor -1)]); 


and precache...

4.3 have this:

PHP Code:

Array:sound_survivor, 


PHP Code:

    sound_survivor = ArrayCreate(64, 1) 


PHP Code:

        // Play survivor sound 
        ArrayGetString(sound_survivor, random_num(0, ArraySize(sound_survivor) - 1), sound, charsmax(sound)) 
        PlaySound(sound); 


PHP Code:

                else if (equal(key, "ROUND SURVIVOR")) 
                { 
                    // Parse sounds 
                    while (value[0] != 0 && strtok(value, key, charsmax(key), value, charsmax(value), ',')) 
                    { 
                        // Trim spaces 
                        trim(key) 
                        trim(value) 
                         
                        // Add to sounds array 
                        ArrayPushString(sound_survivor, key) 
                    } 
                } 


and precache....


and in 4.2 and in 4.3 this:

PHP Code:

// Plays a sound on clients 
PlaySound(const sound[]) 
{ 
    client_cmd(0, "spk ^"%s^"", sound) 
} 


as you see 4.3 use more code than 4.2 AND what doing in 4.3:

source need to find name of line in .ini file, consider it and than play sound...

in 4.2 sound play at once from new const in source ...

and question:

whether there will be a sense if to make in 4.3 also as in 4.2
will be less loading on the server or not?
or this is stupid idea ?

ZP4.2:
* Easy to control which file we need to precache or not.
* Need to recompile for each customization is done.
* Fast loading maybe.. because it doesn't need to call for an external setting files.

ZP4.3:
* Easy to make customization.
* No need to recompile for each customization is done.
* If mess with .ini file it will give an array error in game.

For me it seems zp4.2 style is good to use.

*** Who still have zp4.2 sourcecode please share here, i wanna explore the code uhuh uhuh classic.

yokomo thanks for explain
in attachment source code 4.2

* Need to recompile for each customization is done. * If mess with .ini file it will give an array error in game.

i'm not lazy to recompile each when i change ways to sounds models...
and i don't so stupid to lose .ini file or get errors in it

but about code...
what i do now: i delete in my source unnecessary codes, cvars, which i don't using...(i think it make less load on server) and how you think it will be better to change .ini code in 4.3 to new const like 4.2 ? it will be make less load on server or not ? i think yes, because code in 4.2 is easyer than in 4.3.... (maybe i don't right)
what you opinion about this?

You do a same thing as me, i also delete all code that i doesn't use. That mean a lot of default code i've delete. So less cvar, less precache file, less native and so on . Yup server load a bit fast.

[dias]

What you gonna do ?

[GAARA54]

What you gonna do ?

what i do now: i delete in my source unnecessary codes, cvars, which i don't using...(i think it make less load on server)

what i get when i change way to play sounds with method like 4.3 to way like in 4.2

before: 11 500 + lines of code
after: 9224 lines of code

(don't exactly because i delete some things too)

i think it is better

the lesser code is better code

after the vercion 4.3 (beta 3), mercylezz began to customize the plugin for those who do not understand. and facilitate the changes made by third.

memory and cpu usage much.

if you use an older version, update with the bugs fixed in the current vercion.

[GAARA54]

you mean the 5.0 version use more cpu than 4.3 ?

the vercion 5.0, use the code base (4.3) but separated in external files, each file has its function in relation to the game.
in order to make, it easy to add changes, external to the zp.
errors can prevent or fix, if any will have to verify the part affected.

example of the part affected

zp50_core.sma zp50_zombie_class.sma zp50_human_class.sma and more ...

create external files for the base code, call functions, different and repeated, then run them all at the same time, the cpu usage and memory varies.
