[BBG_Theory]

Wliu, ill test this some as soon as I can.. I can have like 3 alts in a server. I have just gotten slammed with work related stuff and have not done much testing above 1.9.1

The 1rst thing I think I saw was funny behavior with all that at 1.9.2 but I have not talked about it due to not fully evaluating it yet and gathering facts

when I can return to it, I will be sensitive to be sure I have the latest .inc files

Forget about it. That IS needed. This is a REALLY bad to insert this into a rage abilities. MY englist is so bad to understand what happends when i tried it.

Spoiler

		decl Float:position[3];
		GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position);

		decl String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
		if(RandomSoundAbility("sound_ability", sound, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, clientboss))
		{
			FF2flags[Boss[boss]]|=FF2FLAG_TALKING;
			EmitSoundToAll(sound, client, _, SNDLEVEL_TRAFFIC, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, 100, client, position, NULL_VECTOR, true, 0.0);
			EmitSoundToAll(sound, client, _, SNDLEVEL_TRAFFIC, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, 100, client, position, NULL_VECTOR, true, 0.0);
		
			for(new target=1; target<=MaxClients; target++)
			{
				if(IsClientInGame(target) && target!=Boss[boss])
				{
					EmitSoundToClient(target, sound, client, _, SNDLEVEL_TRAFFIC, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, 100, client, position, NULL_VECTOR, true, 0.0);
					EmitSoundToClient(target, sound, client, _, SNDLEVEL_TRAFFIC, SND_NOFLAGS, SNDVOL_NORMAL, 100, client, position, NULL_VECTOR, true, 0.0);
				}
			}
			FF2flags[Boss[boss]]&=~FF2FLAG_TALKING;
		}

UPD. Some editing in code, just bugfix.

I'm just going to put this here, as of this commit, all subplugins will break on it(well they did on the first commit I did on the rewrite branch), you can see what I changed to the boss selection plugin(ignore the massive line deletion, it was added to compile it to see if it'll compile) to see how you'll need to change sub plugins(early) before ff2 2.0.0 alpha is ready(which may be a while, depends on if Wliu wants to use my rewrite start) or go with experimental branch.

Noticed recently that some of our Hales are getting invisible weapons (air shotgun anyone) and just wondering if this is a known bug?

I think that's TF2Items related or the hale having his starter weapons show 0

I should have time to check this tomorrow.

Wliu, if you want player testers, to help, I can, would be more then happy to

It will be invisible to other players, but ought to be visible to you, is it invisible to you? As yes, that would be a bug, but not seeing it on other players is Valves fault

So... I know I said I wasn't doing anything with FF2 any more, but I made an experimental change to ff2_1st_set_abilities to fix a long-standing bug with the NinjaSpy's rage_maxtrix_attack.

Basically, SourceMod's timers are affected by host_timescale, which provides the slowmo effect. This means that, despite NinjaSpy's ability is set to 2.2 seconds (1 sec is added to the 1.2 sec specified in the config), it actually lasted 11 seconds (2.2 * (1/0.2), where 0.2 is the slo-mo amount).

Now it should last the approximately the 2.2 seconds as specified... it does this by taking 2.2 and dividing it by 5 (1/0.2), so the timer runs for 0.44 seconds (rounded up to 0.5 due to SourceMod only checking timers every 0.1 seconds, so it'll be closer to 2.5 seconds).

Oh, I also made it so RED ninja spy gets the RED bonk particle effect instead of BLU particle effect.

Of course, this needs to be tested.

As usual, you have to rename the .smx to .ff2 when you upload it to your server.

Hmm, I've only noticed it being invisible when I am not Hale (iow, I am looking at the Hale), will try to check further. So far I haven't tried having invisible weapons while being Hale. Thanks!

However, we have problems with other bosses doing Civilian on rage when they're supposed to be holding weapons. Not sure if it's a problem with the boss itself or somewhere else.
