As some of you know I've been working on getting SourceMod working so that we can replace Mani with it (as it's no longer being supported/updated and has a few bugs). I just wanted to let you know what's working and some nice plugins that could help us on Boomer, it will also help me in case I forget what I've been doing :blink:
- Signs (decalmod) - All working and mapadverts converted to the new format.
- Adverts (ads) - These are the messages that come up in the middle of the screen. Text taken from Mani and a few new ones added.
- ATAC - This plugin allows for automatic action to be taken against Team Wound/Team Kill. It's currently set up to kick the player after 2 team kills (10 TW=TK), after another 2 the player would be banned for 60 minutes. The stats are reset every 60 minutes, so the regulars don't get kicked after 2 TK's in a number of hours of play. The TK can be forgiven and the person TK'd will be asked if they forgive, if they do it will not count against the TKer, if it was a deliberate, the person can select slay from the menu. The player will be kicked immediately if they TK in spawn at the very start of the round. There is also the ability to take the amount of health away from a person equal to the damage they inflicted on a team mate and give the health back to the victim, this is currently disabled.
- AutoChangeLevel - This plugin changes to the nextmap in the cycle if there are less than a specified number of people on the server. I have set the number to 2 (including bots). In reality this will only kick in when the server is empty or someone is in spec mode but it should help get players on the server when it's an unpopular map. It waits a minimum of 10 minutes between map changes and this time can be changed.
- VIP Mod - All up and running with as_oilrig and a few other vip maps.
- Restrict - Restrict weapons mod with more options available than mani. Currently configured to be the same but there are options to restrict weapons based on maps, teams and even players.
- AdminsTimed - This allows us to set people as admins during certain times of the day/days of the week. We could use it to allow some people admin access prior to when the senior admins get on the server (during the working day).
- Swear Replacement - This has a list of bad words and if someone types them it comes up with a message from a file as if it was said by that person. Currently set to "I'm saying something that's not allowed on this server, I really should leave or stop it." What's actually typed is still recorded in the logs.
- lastx - Shows last 10 players and their SteamID'sto disconnect from the server.
- LosingTeamSlay - Lots of options for slaying people who don't complete the objective. With automatic messages to say why.
- AdminMenu (sm_super_menu) - I had to rewrite the config file but it now acts as an interface to slay/kick/ban, change maps, set next map, change player names, check rates, display TCS messages....
The main thing I need is for the WEB Admin interface to be released. It's due any day now....
If you've read this far, you've done well!!! :flirty:
I'm excited,
and I just can't hide it.
well done Whitey, I've seen you (thru Friends) working away on your own server, with your bot m8's.
It's much appreciated:D
btw there looks to be a lot more choice and usability from what you say. can we personalise it?
Loads of progress! Good stuff.
I've got to say that the TK-stuff is really good, you might want to add a nice explanation for it though somewhere public. Got to say that some people allways punish for a TK (not -=[dMw]=- attitude though).
VIPmod sounds also very interesting. I'm wondering what oilrig looks like in CSS.
*Impressed
All good stuff I can tell you. I have been test subject on Whiteys server to many of the mods above and all work great.
Another good mod is the changename one. You can change someones name by selecting the persons name from the menu and then a name from a list e.g. "ChangeYourName". :)
Nice work Whitey. Well done :)

Are you talking about individual customisation or dMw?
As the plugins are all server side, there is nothing we need to install on our PC's and so nothing we can personalise. There are lots of options to customise the plugins to suit dMw and that's where most of my time has gone (including some changes to the plugin code). As SourceMod is Open Source we have the ability to download the source code for plugins and modify/recompile to better meet our requirements:)
Oh and I forgot to mention a plugin I REALLY like, which keeps your money the same when you go spec and rejoin the same team!

I was thinking about the TCS admin messages, I had tweaked a few in my old userdaten.txt
anyway, it sounds good (especially the Spec money)

You can still use RCONGUI with the new mod but once we do switch, there shouldn't be a need to use both (unless you want your own messages).
All of the messages in RCONGUI will be implemented in the SourceMod menu.

:D
Any idea when it will be used? (just looking forward to it)
I probably need another week to polish up the code and get it fully functional. Then we need to decide if we wait for http://www.sourcebans.net/ to be released as it will make it a lot easier to manage the admin accounts. I'll have a chat with BB about it nearer the time, if we don't wait it will require server access to update the admin list/permissions. Id like to do a quick familiarisation session with the senior admins on the menus and some of the commands etc, this could be done on my server (although the connection speed is limited). I'll give you guys a shout when I need test subjects :devil:
:clap::clap:
Nice one.
My internet connection is now on at home and I have unpacked the PC so I hope to be back on the servers imminently.
Nice work Whitey - this will really help.
Thanks for the time and efforts
PEN
:worshippy:
Yup, well done Whitey.
The VIP mod bit sounds good, haven't played it for ages.
To give you an idea of the structure, I've documented it as a mind map.
New Menu System - Structure (http://www.btinternet.com/%7Esrw_white/dMw/SourceMod_Menu.html)
If you see any options missing that you think we'll need or would like something changed for clarification, please let me know.
well done Whitey:D

What about someone that wanna join the server only he has a bad name..so he cant join the server ore he get booted right away with sort mess change your name and get back....
Just a thought.
Edit: I know you can give them a decent name when they join just like Sadako said.
But still wonder if it's possible.
Looking good whitey, Gonne be helpfull :D

It can be done but that particular plugin isn't stable at the moment. We may implement it at a later date though.
