DoD Chicken (port of Chickenmod: Rebirth)

[Hell Phoenix]

CHANGELOG:
Changes from AMXX Port by syphilis to DoD Port V1.1
* Removed Boolean cs_running (dont need to detect if VIP or not)
* Changed all CS specific code to DoD Specific code
* Removed gibs function on chicken death (gibs crash DoD servers more often then not for some reason)
* Added death upon un/chickening someone as the model doesnt set or unset until respawn
* Changed cvar pointers to new pcvar system (more efficient code)
V1.2
* Fixed User glowing even if cvar was set to off
* Added green glow for allies and red glow for axis
* Fix grenade velocity being zero after being unchickened
V1.3
* Fixed things up for amxx 1.75
- Changed model settings that changed from beta dodx module
* Removed some code that wasnt needed
* Added saving config from the menu
v1.3.5
* Fixed being invisible after first death
v1.4
* Fixed players sinking into map when crouched
* Blocked fullupdate command to stop crashing of servers
* Added freezetime back in so that if you get chickened during beginning of round you cant spawn
* Removed chicken slash sounds...seemed out of place and didnt work correctly

Todo:
* Allow players to be chickened at any time not just when alive (so when you chicken everyone/team they dont all have to be alive)
* Fix chicken getting hit sound


Requirements:
* Requires AMXX 1.75 or above

Installation:
1) Compile the plugin and place it in your plugins folder
2) Download the "extras" zip file, an extract that file to your dod folder
3) Open the config file (chicken.cfg) and edit the settings you would like
4) Add an entry for amx_chicken.amxx to plugins.ini


Usage:
console commands:
* amx_chicken <@|1|2|Player> (turns everyone, team, or a single player into a chicken)
* amx_unchicken <@|1|2|Player> (turns everyone, team, or a single player back into a human)
* amx_chicken_menu (displays a menu for admins, can change config although not save at the moment, and un/chicken people/teams/everyone)
say commands:
* /chickenme (this only works if you have chicken self ability enabled)
* /unchickenme (this only works if you have chicken self ability enabled)
* /chickenmenu (same as using amx_chicken_menu)
server commands
* c_chicken (works the same as amx_chicken, but other plugins can call it)
* c_unchicken (works the same as amx_unchicken)

[{SR} *Raggy*]

W00t my guys are loving the plugin. Thank u very much from my clan, {SR}.

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Question:Is there sound files called cow.wav and killchicken.wav in the extras? If so I can't find them and its telling me that it couldn't transmit those 2 files

How dou add the chicken to the amxmodmenu?

[Hell Phoenix]

Whoops...sorry about that. Thought I had them all. They are now included in the extras.zip.

You dont add it to the amxmodmenu...it has its own menu.
amx_chicken_menu

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Thank u very much! It was annoying me when it was trying to download those sound files.

Can it be added to the amxmodmenu though?

[jason]

Hay is their a way to get rid of the hud message that says "Jason has been turned into a chicken". So when the public types /chickenme their isnt 20 messages coming up on the screen....just curious thanks.

[Smiffy]

i just turned the self chicken thing off seemed to be easier at solving the problem. then also it stops u having to go on the server to a farm evry map lol

but great plugin though

1 question u know if i edited it a bit would it work with a diff modle say a cow or summat?

riddick (on smiffy account)

[Hell Phoenix]

Sure. On line 306 put a // in front of it. It is this line
show_hudmessage(0, "%L", LANG_PLAYER, "PL_TRANSF_INTO_CHICKEN", user)

Well you can try it but the hitboxes might be messed up. Hard to say without trying it.

[diamond-optic]

the problem with using a cow.. if you change the bounding box to fit it.. as soon as the cow model is facing a different angle the box wont line up anymore cuase the cow is longer in one axis then another.. something i found distressful when i 1st started working on my killable animals plugin...

and if you adjust the box everytime the angle changes.. unless its an interval of 90deg you'll end up having to use a larger box shaped bbox instead of a rectangle.. gets all wierd when trying to do uneven models at different angles

its a shame the box doesnt rotate on the angle of the entity... or rotate at all lol

[lapantera]

I want to pass the files sma but I do not be able :S :S

[diamond-optic]

? what do you mean pass the files

[lapantera]

but me does not take them

[Hell Phoenix]

What is the problem? You arent making any sense at all.

[TigerMan4]

doesnt work for me...says unknown unknown unknown dod_chicken.amx bad load

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

looks like you may have used the complety wrong mod to compile this plugin...

If you use the AMXX compiler the plugin would come out as a .amxx file, not a .amx file... which kind of implies you are trying to use an AMX compiler to compile an AMXX plugin...

[Hell Phoenix]

You NEED to be using amxx 1.75. If you are, then you put the file into your plugins.ini wrong ;)

[diamond-optic]

ya most likely you put the extension as .amx instead of .amxx in the ini file

[TigerMan4]

I used the web compiler on the amx-mod-x forums to compile it.

Welcome to the AMX Mod X 1.75-300 Compiler.
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 ITB CompuPhase, AMX Mod X Team

[diamond-optic]

well if it says:

unknown unknown unknown dod_chicken.amx bad load

then that plainly shows the extension as .amx in the plugins.ini file when it should be .amxx

[TigerMan4]

these are the last 3 entries , coppied directly from my plugins.ini

dod_random_skymap.amxx
dod_chicken.amxx
dod_killinfo.amxx

[diamond-optic]

hmm and the other ones work fine?

sure you have any module needed for the chicken mod enabled (tho im pretty sure in 1.75 they autoload anyway)

[Hell Phoenix]

You are using version 1.75 of amxx and not just the web compiler version right?

What does it say in your amxx log? It will tell you a reason why it cant load it.

[TigerMan4]

I have fun and fake meta enabled , so that gore and other plugins work. (everything thats commented out , is labled as to why )...everything else works fine.

[Hell Phoenix]

type amx_plugins into the console or hlsw and post back here what it outputs.

[diamond-optic]

it should also say why they didnt load in an error log when your server boots in the amxmodx/logs/ directory

[TigerMan4]

Mapchange to dod_merderet --------
L 08/25/2006 - 00:23:28: [AMXX] Plugin "dod_chicken.amxx" failed to load: Plugin uses an unknown function (name "dod_clear_model") - check your modules.ini.
L 08/25/2006

I think this is what you are looking for ( i aded everything from the extras.rar to exactly where they belong )

[diamond-optic]

are you sure you have amxx 1.75 on??

cuase thats a native added to dodx in 1.75

and you'd only be getting that if your dodx module isnt at least 1.75

[TigerMan4]

well . let me look . as clanservers installed amx-x for me.

just checked....version 1.70 how can i fix ? ( should I get clan servers to install the latest ? ) or can I download the latest and install the .dll myself ?

download the latest and FTP the updated files to your game server, then shut it off, turn it back on and you will have the latest version running...

Version 1.75a (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amxmodx/amxmodx-1.75a-base.zip?download)

make sure you also get the updated mod version as well (DOD) (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amxmodx/amxmodx-1.75-dod.zip?download)

[diamond-optic]

oh yea for some reason cs/gs is installing the old version..

but im pretty sure if you ask them to put on 1.75 they will if you dont wanna do it yourself

[TigerMan4]

do I need the base ? or the full installer ? ( also , my pc is windows based ) my server is linux based...if download the .tar files , I dont think I can unzip them and install them...but I`m not sure.

if Clanservers installs the newest amxmodx....will I have to reinstall all my plugins again ?

[Hell Phoenix]

You need the base and the dod addon.

I would backup your files before you ask CS to install the newer one...Not sure if it would overwrite everything or not.

[diamond-optic]

you should still be able to open the linux files..

the only real difference is the *.dlls are *.so instead.. and the scripting folder will have the linux compiler and such instead of the win32

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

if Clanservers installs the newest amxmodx....will I have to reinstall all my plugins again ?
technically no, not if they only update the files, but anytime you "allow" someone or somethign to automatically do something for you you should backup all your critical files...

Clan servers will never use the very latest version of the mod, because in until in there eyes, they believe it is stable enough, they will not "automatically" put it on a customers pc, and risk having to "support" constant issues, so its up to YOU to update it as you see fit... which they like, becuase then it is not THEIR repsonsibility for what happens... this is not to say that there is anythign wrong with version 1.75a, I have used it since it was released without an issue, and am enjoying some of the recent benefits from the update...
btw, never rely on your game server provider to do anything for you, and do not expect auto installs to be perfect... if you want something done right.. you have to do it yourself... and its a lot easier to fix once you know what goes on...

[nasa]

Thank you for the plugin :D

[TigerMan4]

havnt had them update the 1.75a yet,

on a side note , clanservers support leaves a lot to be desired in the first place , especially if you have a source server.

when you first get your server , they are fast as lightning , after you have had it a month , they slow up to a snails pace.

thanks for the help guys.

when you first get your server , they are fast as lightning , after you have had it a month , they slow up to a snails pace.

their support sux, because they are not familiar with the mechanics of the game, all they know how to do is "setup" the server, and they use auto install scripts to do the work for them, so MOST of the support staff, "looks" up your issue in a "database" of solutions and copy pastes this info to you...

Your best bet, is to find a server operator who knows his shit, and ask them to instruct you in the ways of server "maintenance"

and please do NOT let them update ammx for you, DO IT YOURSELF... it only takes 5 minutes to upload the files, and if you feel daunted by any of this, them feel free to PM me, and I will walk you through it....

[ninjastylemafia]

sup budd for some reason I cant dl the rar file which you have uploaded can you give me another link where i can dl it from thanks.

[Hell Phoenix]

What problems are you having? I just tried to DL it and it worked fine. Let me know ;)

[{SR} *Raggy*]

Worked for me aswell :)

[mcmahonj05]

I added all the files where they should be and i can type in amxx plugins in my server console and it shows the chicken mod is running. But it crashes my server after a minute or so... I know everything is installed right i compiled the plugin and everything... any ideas why its the only plugin that crashes my server... any suggestions????

[tegu]

I had this running pre-1.76a and now I cant get it to run without doing the exact same thing. I have compiled it with no errors and it still does it, I just dont understand.

Doesnt even make it a minute for me though...

[Hell Phoenix]

I havent tried 1.76 yet. I will look into this though and see what the problem is.

[ruffusbebad]

For some reason this plugin causes my server to crash on level change. any ideas? Thanks

[Hell Phoenix]

I just installed 1.76 and it works just fine for me still.

Is it all level changes? Or just to certain levels?

[tegu]

I am not having level change issues, I am having server crash issues with it. I am not a novice plugin installer either, although I have had a few bonehead moments. This wasnt one of them though. I am running a linux server and it happens all the time... plugin loads, but the moment anyone joins a team, it crashes the server.

[Hell Phoenix]

I dont know what to say. It works just fine for me. But then again Im using a windows server. Are there any errors in the error log?

[tegu]

Not a single one and that really sucks... I know it would be extra helpful to have them.

[ruffusbebad]

actually I installed this while server was running, it crashed when level changed.
also crashed server as soon as it restarted. I'm running 34 plugins, probably a compatibility issue.

[h0_noMan]

I tried this plugin.

Installation : OK
Plugin is active : OK

amx_chicken_menu works fine.

But, just after transforming someone into chicken my server crash.

Windows Server with AMX Mod X 1.80

[Hell Phoenix]

I have not had a chance to use 1.8 yet....so that may be whats causing the problems. Sorry I dont have anything besides that. Hopefully after the new year I can look at it.

[diamond-optic]

are you using 1.8.0 official?

cause the dodx module that came with 1.8.0 was broke (resulting in crashes and huge cpu usage) and you have to grab it from the nightly builds (http://www.amxmodx.org/nightly.php) for the fixed version (shouldnt matter what revision the build is either as since it was fixed there hasnt been anymore changes)

[h0_noMan]

I tested with the nighty version and it works fine.

Thanks.

[aero_cz]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :D niceeeeeee...but i must update amxx and now is goood :D thx

[aero_cz]

gr8 ...but how make chicken with all normal gun?

[aero_cz]

gr8 ...but how make chicken with all normal gun?

heh i make it...i edit this plugin and when any player lost weapon,chicken can pickup and play with it :D (chicken+mg=LOL :D )

sry for my english

[martinyoo2]

alright where is the amx_chicken.amxx file?

[Tank]

You have to compile it. The reason you will only see *.sma filed uploaded to the site is for your protection. (the only exception on this rule is for DoD Block exploits but reason can be found within the thread). If they upload an amxx file if someone wanted to be a "bad guy" they could slip in a redirect to their server. Thats the reason you will only find sma files. OK...doesn't sound that bad, now how do I get an amxx file out of a sma file.

Online Compiler (http://www.dodplugins.net/forums/cmps_index.php?page=help).

- Just set the version of your amxmodx on the left side and click start
- Now browsing button appears, download and locate the sma file you just downloaded and double click it (or click on "open")
- Now click the compile button
- A download screen appears, download the file. Either remove the amxmodx version on the end of the amxx file or leave it (by leaving it you will always know in what amxmodx version the sma file got compiled, I just take the dots out, old habit I guess)

And now you can use the amxx file in however form you like.

[rustyt00lman]

How would you go about using this with tk mod

[Legend Born]

I'm having this same prob:

I tried this plugin.

Installation : OK
Plugin is active : OK

amx_chicken_menu works fine.

But, just after transforming someone into chicken my server crash.

Windows Server with AMX Mod X 1.80

But I don't understand this solution:

cause the dodx module that came with 1.8.0 was broke (resulting in crashes and huge cpu usage) and you have to grab it from the nightly builds for the fixed version (shouldnt matter what revision the build is either as since it was fixed there hasnt been anymore changes)

My server is running amx v1.8.0-3660 (which isn't listed as a nightly build), so I grabbed the nightly build for the latest 1.8.0x version, 1.8.0-3645, and then tried 1.8.1-3662. Where is this dodx module? The only thing those nightly builds have under "modules" is a dodx dll file. Do I put that in the dll folder? Is there supposed to be a .so file in the modules folder in the nightly build zips?

I admit to being a plugin noob btw. Any help would be appreciated, because I really want, no, NEED, chickens in my server, lol.

[Dr.G]

the newest amxmodx version is 1.8.1.3746 you will find it here http://www.amxmodx.org/downloads.php remember the mod addon pack for dod

btw the module activate them selfs if they are needed :)

[Legend Born]

So do I have to update the entire amxmod, or just the modules? And if I do, will that mean my plugins may not work or need to be recompiled? I'm asking because someone else compiled and installed most on my server, I've taken over the server from him and am trying to crash-course it. I'm 4 for 5 so far. Chicken's the only one that failed.

[Dr.G]

if i were you i would do it allover (reinstall & recompiled), it might be the last version anyway, i had alot of things that didnt work with v1.8.0.
