Looking foward to this. Have a request however. How about taking all item changes (attributes, effects, etc) and collecting all of the changes in one .cfg file instead of coding it in ff2/vsh? Would make editing and changing weapons our selves much easier.

Looking forward to see this man!

I do plan on having this eventually, but at this point, I just want to get the weapon rebalancing out the door.

Cool, the more the merrier! I assume one of them is maybe a fix for the over 25 bosses crash?

This may be a bit much to ask, but would it be possible to add in some cvars/options to enable a last player(s) alive option to outline reds so that hale can track them down?

That way something like this could happen:
ff2_track_remaining = 2

Hale kills the 3/3 alive players, it outlines the remaining 2, so hale can see them (like CTF intel).
last 2 players alive are soldiers's sitting on top of trees, or scouts hiding in rocks on some exploitable VSH map. So now he can easily hunt them down and kill them. Some hales really hate capping, and would rather waste everyone's time to kill one hider, than just cap. Also some servers just disable capping

Depends on if the problem is being caused by the models or sounds stringtables or the downloads stringtable.

Anyway, this is taking longer than I thought, so it may not be ready until tomorrow.

[Huntereb]

As long as it's released. Thanks!

I did some more testing, I do not believe the downloads problem is central to FF2. Sounds don't seem to cause any issues. I have tons of saysounds and music. The few extra ff2 pushes isn't a huge issue.

If I add the ff2 models to my downloads via model manager or sm_downloader (or any other custom models in excess of my current ones), I'll crash with the same type of errors - mid map, client will connect to fetch downloads and server engine errors with stringtables.

For now I just have to limit the number of models I use/add, and remove custom models for bosses like gentlespy =/

[Edit] Would also be cool to have a feature to pickrandom shuffle the bosses, 1 boss can not be randomly selected again, until all others have been selected. Or, to set a limit (like 3) so that the same boss can not occur within 3 rounds, etc.
