DOD Advanced Deploy

DOD ADVANCED DEPLOY
by Wilson [29th ID]
www.29th.org -- Revolutionizing Day of Defeat Realism

DESCRIPTION
If you have ever played Day of Defeat: Source, you know
how Machine Gun's deploy differently than our game. They
work based on the surface they're being deployed on rather
than "whether or not it's a sandbag/window cill."

In DoD 1.3, MG's and BAR's require a specific object at
every "should be deployable" spot to tell the game you can
deploy there. Source does it based on physics (ie. is it a
flat surface)

Since the developers abandoned 1.3, the 29th ID created the
plugin that makes 1.3 match source yet again. You can now
deploy your MG or Heavy on damn near anything logical to
deploy on.

USAGE CVARS
dod_advanced_deploy <1/0>
Enables or disables the plugin.

dod_advanced_deploy_view <1/0>
Just as DoD:Source does, if the object upon which you're
deploying is lower than your normal height, you drop down
a bit to meet it. This will enable/disable that function.



UPDATES
19 APR 2007 -- Added compatibility for bots to stop errors

very nice once wilson props to ya

[diamond-optic]

wow this sounds cool.. even tho i totally hate MGs and deployed FG42s lol

[MBosta]

loving this plugin, nice work Cpt.

[Tony Almeida]

Nice one! Thanks.

[tegu]

Well thought out and will definately be going onto my server later tonight. Thanks Wilson!

[Kiel |17.SS|]

Ah I've always thought about why you could only deploy your MG in windows and sandbags, or when youre proned. Nice plugin. I'm going to test is asap.

[Kiel |17.SS|]

Ah I love it. I tested it out in Sturm, and it worked beautifully. There were some spots that allowed you to deploy, that I was a little confused about. But other than that, it worked great! Thanks Wilson.

[MBosta]

For an update Wilson, could you incorporate the Sten from the British Weapons. Noticed today on Flash i couldn't setup except for Sanbags.

[TooLz]

You must mean the Bren, sten has no bipod.

Cya

[Kiel |17.SS|]

Yeah, I noticed that too.

[Hood [10th MD]]

Part in the code looks like this:
stock deployable_weapon( id ) {
new clip, ammo, wpn = get_user_weapon( id, clip, ammo );
if( wpn == DODW_30_CAL
|| wpn == DODW_MG34
|| wpn == DODW_MG42
|| wpn == DODW_BAR
|| wpn == DODW_FG42 ...

Add bren, so it looks like:
stock deployable_weapon( id ) {
new clip, ammo, wpn = get_user_weapon( id, clip, ammo );
if( wpn == DODW_30_CAL
|| wpn == DODW_MG34
|| wpn == DODW_MG42
|| wpn == DODW_BAR
|| wpn == DODW_FG42
|| wpn == DODW_BREN )
return 1;
return 0;
}

Done, works great.
Sweet plugin Wilson, wayyyy awesome.

[Wilson [29th ID]]

Yeah, that's exactly what I did Hood, and didnt' get a chance to upload. Just do what hood said and it'll fix the bren thing :P

[Kiel |17.SS|]

Awesome, thanks.

The person who runs our server says we are getting hundreds of fake Entity errors every second using Sturmbot. Is the plugin ignoreing bots or can it be changed to allow the bots to correctly deploy?

Thanks for updating still getting random errors..

[diamond-optic]

the plugin does allow bots..


so thats probably the problem.. as bots are screwy with a lot of things, especially when it comes to amxx..

wilson should probably filter them out.. as they dont really need it.. as mg bots are pretty lame to begin with lol..

[Wilson [29th ID]]

updated - use download in original post now.

[sparky99]

Thanks now the errors are much less, However we are getting some bizzar results..

invisable players.
invisable blocking non existant walls.
nades that float slowly to ground after throwing.
what seems to be random god-mode on players not ending.
I updated the post to show plugins (probably not compatible or may need rearranging) and metamod modules.

Too many plugins right?

all without any bots added but enabled.

[Wilson [29th ID]]

That problem is extremely strange, but could no way have anything to do with this plugin.

[diamond-optic]

lol most likely not

[South]

Nevermind fixed it forgot to add amxx at the end lol noobish mistake

[diamond-optic]

did you include the .amxx extension on the filename in plugins.ini?

[knife108]

if someone close to me enough, i can deploy MG or BAR on his body even him left .

idk... MG or BAR can't be allowed to deploy on body ;)

[Wilson [29th ID]]

I believe the translation of what knife108 just said is that if someone ducks in front of you, you can deploy on their head.

I remember trying to fix this initially, but it messed up like 5 other things, so it was either leave this in or have 5 things messed up. Looking back, I think the way to fix it would be to check the point contents of the lower trace and see if it's a human (if there is even a const for that).

I'll get to it eventually but don't get set on it. No one ever deploys on another person; it requires too much teamwork and it's so rare..just don't sweat it.

I agree with this viewpoint :)

[Panda]

[{DwP} 325th ABN]

yes yes he is. great job wilson love it nicely done no doubts

[sparky99]

Howdy, this was working before as you updated it, now with sturmbot after I updated amxmodx to 1.80 I get:

L 11/13/2007 - 05:01:45: [FAKEMETA] Invalid entity

Is it that Zor's code was not in there as Admin models also get me a Seg Fault.

Ta muchly

use 1.76d and works fine on my server !

[sparky99]

The problem went away with the new build of AmxModx 1.81, which also fixed my admin model problem with Seg Faulting on linux since updating.

Thanks for the other posts elsewhere in the forums for the answer.

**Update**

Damm I thought I had this licked with the Amxmodx 1.81 but checking the log and it has showed up again.
The plugin works but will give the above sequence of errors every now and then.

Anyone else seen this error?

[Dumbass]

Interesting, but tested and you can deploy MG on soldiers or on some very vertical object (tree)... =/

[diamond-optic]

yeah i noticed that too..

alot of times i can deploy where there isnt even anything infront of me at all
