Hi All

1st post here!!!!

Just a bit of help please!!, I'm from Firestorms old clan and while he was in charge he modified Avalanche.

Let me explain....

One of our server rules is Allies can only enter the axis building once they had taken control of the market flag.

The following messages used to flash in centre screen when :-

ALLIES

The message flashed in GREEN : Allies have the market - they CAN enter axis building.

Axis

The message flashed in RED : AXIS have the market - ALLIES CANNOT enter axis building.

We find this rule helps the general flow of the game and does reduce spawn killing or suppresion fire as i like to call it to a minimum.


I'm fairly comfortable with plugins etc but if anyone could give me guidance on how to re-implement this useful function, i would be very grateful.

TIA.

That would be a mod to the map itself using ripent.

http://www.tfc.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=download.php&action=open&id=32

Then you rip the entities from the map and add to the text file the info needed:

http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?area=entity

This is where you can find the entities...you can do a when cap middle has been trigger a message kinda like a win message without the sounds.

Check out dod_jagd as it has a message when the tank is blown up.

Cheers! And if you need real time help try the irc at front page of this website.

Thanks Zor, i've downloaded ripent, even got as far as exporting the avalanche.ent file but after looking at it, it's to be honest a little over my head , is there anyway some kind soul would be willing to help RST| and i out it modifying this on our behalf.

Our eternal gratitude would be yours! ( grovelling never hurt! ).

Thanks

Guys

* just a little note*

i find using BSP Edit (http://mods.teamcdrive.com/download.php?view.94) instead of ripent a lot easier, as you dont have to export the entity list and then (most importantly) import it back into the bsp file each time..
