change texture, I used Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer

[ahh*pot]

i am trying to add sheets to other maps, esp cover up the ads on the cpl and cevo maps, how can i figure out the location and size of these ads so i can add them to the config file and cover them up?

[Vet]

I used a bsp viewer. Move in real close to where the ad was placed and get the general location and size. Then plug in the values in the config and check it out in-game. You'll need to do some trial & error fine tweaking to get it right.

what bsp viewer did you use...

There's probably a plugin that you can enter some co-ords and it will draw a box for you.

If not I may be able to write one.

PHP Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#if !defined charsmax
    #define charsmax(%1) sizeof(%1)-1
#endif

enum coords
{
    x1,
    y1,
    z1,
    x2,
    y2,
    z2
}
new box_origins[coords];

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin("Draw a box", "1.0", "Pixie")
    register_concmd("amx_box_coord","box",ADMIN_ALL,"amx_box <coord> <location> e.g. amx_box x1 100, or amx_box z2 234")
    register_concmd("amx_draw_box","draw_box",ADMIN_ALL)
}
public box(id,level,cid)
{
    static arg1[3] ;
    static arg2[10] ;
    static coords:coord=x1;
    
    read_argv(1,arg1,charsmax(arg1))
    
    if ( arg1[1] != '1' && arg1[1] != '2' )
    {
        console_print(id,"Invalid co-ord specifier: %s",arg1)
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED ;
    }
    switch ( arg1[0] )
    {
        case 'x': coord = x1 ;
        case 'y': coord = y1 ;
        case 'z': coord = z1 ;
        default: 
        {
            console_print(id,"Invalid co-ord specifier: %s",arg1)
            return PLUGIN_HANDLED ;        
        }
    }
    if ( arg1[1] == '2' )
    {
        coord += x2 ; // switch from x1 to x2 et c.
    }
    
    read_argv(2,arg2,charsmax(arg2))
    
    box_origins[coord] = str_to_num(arg2) ;
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED ;
}
public draw_box()
{
    static coords:i ;
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY,{0,0,0},0)
    write_byte(TE_BOX)
    for ( i = x1 ; i <= z2 ; i ++ )
    {
        write_coord(box_origins[i])
    }
    write_short(100) ; // life ( in 0.1 seconds )
    write_byte(0) ; // R
    write_byte(255) ; // G
    write_byte(0) ; // B
    message_end() ;

} 


Vet, if you are interested feel free to bundle this with your plugin.
I'm not really an ownership kind of guy when it comes to code.
Particularly such simple code.

I used BSP Viewer. The same author released a newer version called Crafty, but I haven't tried it.
Another one is in Botman's BSP Tools package. But I haven't tried that one either.
I only used them to get the general location and size. It was trial and error after that. But it looks like Pixie has an interesting idea going on. Give that a try. It sounds like a lot less work than my way.

i downloaded the bsp viewer and honestly i had no idea what to do after i opened the map lol. it would be awesome is someone could write a tutorial on how to do this im sure alot of people would like to know how.

[elche767]

how do we make the model

[deejay87]

Good plugin, but i think it's too difficult for a lambda player to create the coordinate for all the maps with ads ....
Is it possible to modify your plugin to spray the model where you want ? like this you modify the ads ingame.

[ConnorMcLeod]

I think that all ads locations are already stored in the .cfg file provided in the first post.

There's another "esay use" plugin, did you try it ?
