I like this.... red fade thingy....but which way do you change the Alphas to make it it darker or lighter ?

[diamond-optic]

umm its kinda early lol.. so i might be wrong heh.. but i believe the lower the alpha level the more transparency there is...

and you could also adjust the colors to say.. a darker red.. that might help too

[TigerMan4]

will this work with the fade to black ? so that admins with imunity can see the red while everyone else goes black ?

[diamond-optic]

not totally sure.. you'd have to try it and see..

i would assume its possible, tho im not sure exactly what it would do to normal clients when it tries to do both on them

What I have found, and this might not hold ture for all things, but the plugin list is a "sequential" list... meaning this... every cycle the server runs, it goes through the list of plugins, runs each of them, in order, to "check" if anything is supposed to happen based on what happened during that cycle. Therefore the effects happen in the order they appear in the list... now, depending on the author of the specific plugin, and how he "returned" his specifc function, generally dictates if any more plugins will be run, based on the specific criteria used to initiate the effect from the "first" plugin. Sometimes the effect will allow a "pass through" which will then allow other functions, and other plugins, to the "add" more effect to the specific caught "action".... hope that made some sense...

but in a nutshell try this, rearrange the plugins in the list such that are in reverse order now... if "red" death fade occured first (which sounds like it does) and "black" runs second, which sounds to be "overwriting" the "red" fade, then move the "red" plugin AFTER the "black" plugin in the list... then EVERYONE will become "black" upon death, but IF a player has "admin_flag" then it will overwrite "black" and make it "red"....

[diamond-optic]

ya that might work :-)

but it might also.. run the fade to black plugin, and fade the players screens to black, then run the death fade (red for example) and it might change the black fade to red..

if you cant get it to work the way you want let me know and ill figure something out..

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

the ultimate solution to all of this is to simply combine the two plugins... what it sounds like is ftb for all non-clan members, but clan members who die CAN see, but with a red screen... so the combination would simply have extra cvars that allow a certain admin flag to still maintain visibility... any extra customizations are always welcomed, especially when any amount of similar plugins can be combined to one main plugin

[Hood [10th MD]]

In the case of both these plugins, how do you make the fade permanent until the user respawns?
For example, I have modified ftb to make it so that anytime you join spectators, you also get faded. But, after a minute or less, it becomes clear again, whereas, I want it permanent until you respawn. Thoughts?

[diamond-optic]

well ive got alot of stuff to do outside of amxx at the moment.. so i cant really help right now.. but that sounds like a good feature to maybe add
