Looking for a plugin to make para maps have normal dod respawns, instead of cs style respawns. Or at least a way to restart the map when an entire team is gone.

You need to get ripent.exe and rip look for the following:nn
{n"classname" "info_doddetect"n"detect_allies_infinite" "1"n"detect_axis_infinite" "1"n"detect_allies_paras" "1"n"detect_axis_paras" "1"n"detect_points_axiseliminated" "5"n"detect_points_allieseliminated" "5"n"detect_target_allieseliminated" ""All Allies Eliminated!"n"detect_target_axiseliminated" ""All Axis Eliminated!"n"detect_use_timer" "0"n"detect_timer_team" "0"n"detect_points_timerexpired" "5"n"detect_allies_respawnfactor" ""1.0"n"detect_axis_respawnfactor" ""1.0"n}nThreads: 1

I've sorta figured out ripent, now when I make the modications do the clients need the modified bsp file or is it fine to have it serverside?

just upload it to the server and that should be good enoughnnsome things wont work doing just that, depending on what you do, but 90% of things and probably most of what you will do will work just fine.. plus then clients dont have to download the map file againnni always just put mine on the server, then put the default version of the map on my sv_downloadurl so that clients cant get ahold of my changes themselves and use the map on their servers lol

entities in the bsp can be different...nnas they are loaded (for the most part) server side.. nso clients dont need to have the changes made thru bspedit/ripent on their local machinennn..and the only way to force them to download it is to rename the map file to something else (cause they wont download dod_anzio cause they already have it and the hl engine wont overwrite an existing file)

At the moment Im using VB to create a quick ripent gui...going to see what I can pull off, it will be basic to begin with and as I get ideas and am able to update it I will fix it up....this kinda think I can do cause its not using the internet! Heheheh...too slow here to do any DoD stuff.nnCheers!

I will look at it...didn't know there was one out there...that one is a bit on the non helpfull side as I see it, however, will look at it...better to use C++ than VB.nnThanks and Cheers!

My personal copy of FM Research has a create entity function, and you can alter the pev/es/cd/pdata variables dynamically afterward. I could even add in a keyvalue portion one day. Just a thought.

[lol not to derail this thread but...]nnone thing that would be nice for a gui.. is having like all the entity data from verc available within the program.. that would be very helpful lol.. but that would be a lot to type up.. and maybe a section in the window that breaks all the entities up into groups like an explorer tree.. where you can say expand all the allies spawn points and have them all together (instead of searching thru the whole list) or say all the func_breakables grouped together.. etc..

That was the plan for the VB version...Have a tree with all the different main classes initially seen, then when you expand them they will go by location. First thing is first. Gotta look at the code we got here and see what they have done, it seems the ripent is located within the code, I am looking to call the ripent program. Will have to see what comes up.nnCheers!
