Thank you VERY VERY much wilson ur the best :D Going to test it right away:D

[tegu]

Well, how did testing go? I am dying to know. I want to run this with crazy_jump.bsp


Ok I got tired of waiting, installed it .... will get back to you.


Doesnt work..... my guess would be

Put the parachute.mdl file in the cstrike/models folder

Which doesnt exist on a dod server AND isnt included in this plugin release....

Sorry

[nasa]

The plugin works ABSOLUTELY fine, or for me it does

[Vendetta]

Nice Wilson, just installed on my server! Good work.

[tegu]

Ok well I still dont see the mdl? am I missing something here? How do I get it to work without that?

[Vendetta]

Here is the model guys:

http://files.filefront.com/parachutemdl/;5530182;;/fileinfo.html

[nasa]

tegu download the "parachute.mdl" from www.amxmodx.org plugin "amx_parachute" Put it in /dod/models
And it should work just fine

[tegu]

ok. THAT SHIT KICKS ASS!!

I got so into parachuting out of everywhere, that I forgot to play LOL.

I think this is going to be another useful one too.

The only thing I might add would be that upon pressing "use" it deploys, but it requires a second press to undelploy it. Kind of like a cutting of the cords?

I personally would be happy with it the way it is, but just thought this might make it a little more realistic....

[diamond-optic]

ya didnt they have something like that in another mod.. maybe it was firearms i think..

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

ya didnt they have something like that in another mod.. maybe it was firearms i think..
is where the model come from...

[kimball]

I installed it, set sv_parachute to 1 and got the model put in. I am playing on avalanche as a test. I can see the pressing use thing works as it slows me down in the air, but...I don't spawn in the air, I spawn like normal, is that supposed to happen?

[diamond-optic]

maybe im wrong as i havent used this.. but i assumed you still spawn normal.. but you can use a parachute if you say jump off a high place (in ava.. say w crack or red room windows...)

[Box Cutter]

The plugin below is the one that you actually spawn in the air and parachute down.

[Wilson [29th ID]]

yeah kimball that's a totally different plugin. the cvar doesn't even match this one.

[kimball]

Sorry, I misunderstood, you released too many parachuting plugins Wilson :)

Nice work.

[Vet]

I'm unclear as to why you needed to port KRoTaL's plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=8845&d=1152386508) at all.
I run KRoTaL's just the way it is on our DOD server and it runs great. In fact, the parachuting action on KRoTaL's is very smooth. Whereas this plugin's is kinda choppy.

[diamond-optic]

going by version numbers.. im thinking this might be from:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=11514

but both that one and the one you posted.. both contain cstrike code and include the cstrike module..

while it might actually still work seemingly fine.. it should be causing errors for lack of the cstrike module.. and if for some reason you have the cstrike module uploaded on your server and its being run.. who knows what those cstrike natives might be doing when called in dod...

its just not all that safe or effecient to leave cstrike code in it...

but i dont know what was really done.. thats just my assumption lol

[Vet]

True, it has some CS parameters. But the CS module is only loaded if CS is actually running. In fact, the CS module isn't even installed on our server. The way I understand it, the KRoTaL plugin is designed to be mod-independent.

[Wilson [29th ID]]

No, it isn't vet.

You can't buy the parachute in dod. Gotta buy it in krotal's plugin.

[Vet]

Not in the version I'm using. I think the problem here is that we're talking about 2 different plugins with various versions. There's KRoTaL's original plugin. Then there's the plugin that some guy named 'nightscreem' is porting for some reason.

KLRoTaL's plugin since v0.1.8 has been updated by JTP10181 And in v1.0 it was made mod-independent. I'm running it now on a DOD server.

Regardless, I'm more concerned with the choppiness of this plugin while the chute is deployed. In perusing the code of KRoTaL's plugin (which has a smooth descent) I noticed that in v1.2 he said he "changed the user's gravity to remove choppiness".

So I think all you would have to do is use:
set_user_gravity(id, 0.1)
whenever the chute is deployed, and then reset it to
set_user_gravity(id, 1.0)
when the chute not deployed. I think that might remove the choppiness and you'd have a top-notch plugin.

[Smiffy]

can we have a section where people can post the ini's for this plugins so that way it helps everyone and people can just look up the mapini they need for this plugin would save alot of time for us working people :P

[Country]

This is a very fun plugin. I have it installed on my linux server. No problems at all. I still wish I could somehow get the smoke grenades to work on a linux server but it sounds like this is not going to happen:confused: Thanks for the support you guys:cool:

[Box Cutter]

This is not the plugin that requires the .ini files, that is the DoD Paratrooper plugin as linked below.

Wilson, a lot seem to get the two confused, lol

Maybe if one spent a bit more time reading the intial post they would read the differences between the 2...

[Smiffy]

the smoke grenades do work with linux.... i had them on my linux server for a long time recently taken them off due to inx servers only being able to hold a certain amount of plugins before they start to lag... anyway thats a diff post

yeah i really didnt know there was 2 diff plugins lol sorry

[catalys201]

yeah i installed it and nothing happens does it work on linux server

[Box Cutter]

Should work fine on a linux server. Does it show the plugin atleast running in your console? If not make sure you added it into your plugins.ini, put the CVAR into amxx.cfg and rebooted your server. Also make sure you have added the .mdl into your models folder.

[catalys201]

yeah i installed it and nothing happens does it work on linux server

[catalys201]

thx box i will try that
o yeah and nice pic

[babykell]

hey my freind is running a sever on talkin to u about his parachute and evil admin can u give a step by step please it woukdl really meens alot to us we a new unit tryin to get good thanks man

[babykell]

like he dont kno alot of wut u jus said so try to make it ez for him we want parachute and evil admin thnak you we are sittin waitin on ur word

[Black Parade]

Do you guys know where I can get some different Parachute Models?

[babykell]

i am tryin to get sum1 who knows wut there doing to help us here, we put parachute.mdl in the dod models folder, we put it in teh .ini we put cvar into the .cfg wut teh hell is goign wrong

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Have you added the amx_parachute.amxx to your plugins.ini and also to your plugins folder? There is no model included in the first post as I just had a look.

Same for Evil Admin put the .amxx file into the plugins folder and plugins.ini. But you will have to get the cvars from the EvilAdmin thread and add them to your amxx.cfg

[babykell]

hey thank you for that but tell me where the cvars is, and could u give my freind some very ewasy ez steps pleas where every thing is located and all that it would meen alot, thanks man

[babykell]

hey i added teh parachute to everything but i still have to ad teh cvar to the amxx.cfg how do i do that, like i opne it and it wont let me write anything in there wuts am i doign wrong

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

hey i added teh parachute to everything but i still have to ad teh cvar to the amxx.cfg how do i do that, like i opne it and it wont let me write anything in there wuts am i doign wrong

download the file to your computer and edit it locally, then once the changes are made upload it back to game server overwriting the original one... it kind of sounds to me like you are trying to edit the file right on the game server...

[babykell]

ok so u want me to move the file from where it is now to my desktop and add teh cvar which should look like this

sv_parachute "1" - 0: disables the plugin
1: enables the plugin

then put it back into teh folder an click overwrite?

[babykell]

when i take it out wut should i open it with, cause i put it in there and nothing happend, can i trust u if i send u a private message to do it for me, evil admin and parachute, i will give u the game servers info account nad pass an u do it for me?

ok, you should now have the file on your desktop... RIGHT click on it and select Open with... if Open with... is not available then simply select open... WAIT for the message to come up about not having something to open/view with and it lets you choose 2 options... search net for something, or try one of your programs from a list... select the second option and you will be shown a window that contains apps to choose from...
scroll all the way down toward the bottom and select WORDPAD and then check the little box that allows you to use this program each time a file like this is opened... then from now on you can simply double click the file to open and edit it.....

If you want to PM me feel free, but I can not garauntee how long it will be before I can get to it...

[{SR} *Raggy*]

There is a parachute model in DoD right? Or does that have to be done by yourself?

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

There is a parachute model in DoD right? Or does that have to be done by yourself?
The only default parachute models in DOD are "flattened" parachutes... the parachute this plugin uses is not default to DOD and therefore must be obtained and loaded onto the server manually...

I uploaded the parachute model needed, and the one I reskinned for Wilson to use in his Parachute plugin... either will work, but the one I reskinned looks better and fits into the DOD theme much better....

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Where is the one you reskinned?

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

Where is the one you reskinned?
the ZIP package in the original post contains 2 models...

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Ah I knew I didn't see that earlier :P

[Smiler:-)]

Thanks worked first time no probs.....
:)

[MRosser1901]

I can't get this to work? When ever I install it, put in the plugins folder, put the models in, put in plugins.ini and change the map my server crashes?..

[blobby]

Are you sure you have the models in the right directory ?? Or have u renamed the models ??

[MRosser1901]

No, they are in the dod/models folder in my ftp directory.

[pope12]

For some reason the plugin will not run on my server. I installed everything correctly and I know I did it right because I have installed this plugin many times. Can someone help me figure this out.

[blobby]

So you have the models in
dod/models/parachute.mdl ???

I mean the only other thing i can think of is what version of amxmodx are you guys running im still on good old 1.76d but if ya on the latest maby that has something to do with it you guys are mabey best waiting for the older coders to help you but just triple check every thing is in the right place

Regards

Blobby

[pope12]

I put both models in the folder correctly on the first attempt and nothing. I reinstalled everything, no luck. Also, I am running AmXModX 1.76D.

[diamond-optic]

any amxx or hlds log messages related to it?

does "rcon amxx plugins" (or amx_plugins without rcon) show that its running?

[pope12]

It does not say that it is running. What do you mean by amxx or hlds log messages?

[diamond-optic]

does it say load failed or something like that? or is it not even on the list? when you get the plugin list thru the console

[pope12]

Doesn't even show.

[diamond-optic]

then most likely it isnt in the plugins.ini file or you added it to the file and never re-uploaded it to the server...

[pope12]

i did all of that

[diamond-optic]

well if its in the plugins.ini file thats loaded by the server (and not commented out) it would show on the list whether it actually loads or not..

[pope12]

What do you suggest I put as the description in the plugins.ini

[blobby]

Errm Parachute

[pope12]

No thats not what I meant but I figured it out. I made a stupid error. Thanks for all your help though.

[t3chnon3]

can someone help me im a newbie lol. K when i dl those files in the first post it can't install anything...says to install the amx file.

[blobby]

You need to compile the .sma file ither on here with the web compiler or on the amx site then put the files in the right places and add a like to you plugins ini containing Eg amx_parachute.amxx and thats it

[cean]

Nice! its works on my server Thx! for the Parachute! :)

[daath]

thankssssssssssss

[Grillo]

Hello, I need help! I've installed amx_parachute my server GunGame and sometimes the server shout down, I remove the plugin; the server is stable. Players ask much this plugin, I like it on server.


Plugins installed on the server:

; Custom - Add 3rd party plugins here

gungame_base.amxx
gungame_dod.amxx
galileo.amxx
spawnprotection.amxx

[Tank]

Sometimes changing the order of the plugins.ini list works. So perhaps placing parachute on top of your list make your server more stable?

Otherwise might want to start looking into this plugin: http://www.dodplugins.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1237&highlight=parachute

[Grillo]

Thanks Tank, I'll test the 2 options!
