um quick note... If the map has British, you do not want to make them para... Para Brits do not exist in the game...

I should note that you must restart the map in order for any cvar changes to take place. Have you tried that?

Well I rebooted the server then the map changes to dod_avalanche because I have it in my server.cfg so technically the map is loading or do I have to do it again?

Nono you don't have to reboot the server - just change the map. I call it "reloading the map" because you don't have to use a different map - in other words if you're on dod_donner, just change the map to dod_donner again and it will activate.rnrnIf you've tried this and those cvar's are accurate there must be something else wrong. Works fine for me.

Ok, I installed this in another server and it took a couple map reloads to make it happen. Try this and we'll sorta beta test it until we get it perfect. Enable one of the "remove" options and see if that does it to your british settings as well.

UPDATED - Now allows you to adjust the weather type in the map. 1 is Rain, 2 is Snow.

Really like your realism plugins I have a few running on our servers. I have a question is there a way to make this map specific in a cfg file so when the map changes to say avalanche the setting are already set? or can this be implemented into this plugin?rnrnThanks for all your Helprnrn[WoH]MAJ.Killemall4u

you might need to run something like this to make sure the map config gets called:nnhttps://www.dodplugins.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8nnand putting that plugin AFTER this plugin in your plugins.ini would probably make sure that the config file loaded the cvars after this plugin has already been loaded

@crazylegs - What do you mean? As in change the settings while the server is running? You will still need to reload the map.rnrn@Killemall - what map did you try it on? try different maps and maybe we can zone in on what's causing the trouble.

So far I have not been able to get the Para or British to work on Avalanche but have gotten it to work on other maps like Kalt. The only thing I have tried and gotten to work on Avalanche was the removal of spawn guns. So I know the plugin is working but for some reason it is having troubles on Avalanche.

rndod_avalanche doesn't have a 'info_doddetect' entity. It uses all default settings. dod_saints and many custom maps are the same way. This plugin will only modify an existing 'info_doddetect' entity, not create a new one.

nnif thats the case.. then wilson should just have it create the entity if it cant find it before setting the keyvalues

Actually I've just figured out exacting how keyvalues work upon creating a new entity, so expect it to be updated very soon.

there's no such thing as British Para, and you have it set to use Allies Para, thus why you can't spawn.

nThe mortar class was originally going to be an actual player class in one of the older versions of DOD, while the idea was "scrapped" they never removed the "information" in the game itself. The reason you see this is because you are trying to set a team to British AND para... this is a worthless combination as the british do not have an actual para player class like the americans and germans. n nThe simple and only answer is to NOT set british to be para.. the only thing gained by setting it so is the ability to see something "unfinished" by the developers...n nI am sure a future update will eventually take care to avoid this scenario, until then, just do not set Brits to be para ....

Awesome plugin Wilson, My regulars love it!!.rnrnA little guidance, i've set the weather in my amxx.cfg to :-rnrndod_map_weather 2 - Snow. Everything else except this works. I've also installed Diamonds random skymap plugin. Could this be were the conflict is?.rnrnI'm no coder :S, just curious as to why its not working on this specific CVAR.rnrnTIA.

I believe the weather (snow, rain etc.) is controlled by your cl_particlefx command. If you have this set to 0 you will not see any weather conditions. Most everyone has this set to 0 so chances are that is why you and no one else in your server is seeing the snow.

I don't believe adding it into server.cfg would actually force the client to have it enabled. If it is in fact cl_particlefx that controls the weather I'm sure a plugin can be made to enforce clients to have cl_particlefx as 1 but you will probably get a lot of complaints because that will force other effects on that most like off, such as muzzle flash and nade smoke. If you want it, you should request it to be made as a plugin in the request forum if it isn't already.

n nyes, dod weather system sucks TBH, and you would think it is the opposite, but the snow is alot harder to see then the rain, WHEN you see the snow...n nyou do in fact have to have cl_particlefx set to 2 in order to even see weather effects...n nI have personally never had any luck adding weather to any map I ever made and gave up on it... there is obviously some reason for the "issue" but whatever it is elludes me, and personally was never a big enough deal to worry about...n nthere is a amx_snow plugin that has a much better look then the in game crappy dod snow... I used it during the Holidays as a theme effect on my server...

well that seems to be with all particle systems in the game..nnthey must all be loaded strictly client side..nnas even using particle shooter entities (to create good looking smoke.. like for example the red and green smoke in whatever that map is lol.. maybe switch?) will only be seen if the client has those new entities in their local copy of the map..nnwierd tho..

Any suggestions on how to set this up on a per map basis without having to reload the map? I'm trying to use this on one map by putting the settings in a map config, and they are loading, but the changes don't take effect until the map reloads which means they take effect for the next map in the rotation. Not exactly what I was looking for. How is it that Stripper2 was able to do this without requiring you to reload the map?

One of Zor's plugins in the developer forum allows you to use per-map CFG's. Use that and enter the configs in there.

I already tried that and the result is the same. Man, this is frustrating because I love both of these plugins, and once the map reloads, they work beautifully. I was afraid the bots would have problems with the strange spawning, but they handle it with no problems whatsoever.nnI realize that Stripper2 is a Metamod plugin, and coded in C, not Small, but maybe you might be able to figure out how it strips and replaces entities without having to reload the map. It is available here with the source code. Of course it could just be that it isn't possible with AMXX.nnThis is just my completely ignorant take on things, but maybe having the entities stripped and replaced in the plugin precache would do the trick? Or maybe there is someway to get the plugin to auto reload the map when settings are changed (in order for this to work it would also need to reload the map when it get's turned off)?

Just for fun, I tried turning on the plugin, and putting the configs in both the amxx.cfg and server.cfg files (not at the same time), and both times with the server starting from scratch the settings didn't take effect until the map changed or was reloaded.

Well first off, stripper 2 does strip the entities and adds your new ones on map load. If you need something that does that here you are:nnhttp://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=10713&highlight=stripper2nnThis is non specific to dod or anything. And it works perfectly as I have used it on my server.nnCheers!

I'm afraid it didn't work. I got the following errors:nn

steamclient.cpp (371) : Assertion Failed: pClientPipe->BWriteAndReadResult( buf, bufRet )nsteamclient.cpp (373) : Assertion Failed: bufRet.TellPut() == ( sizeof(HSteamUser) + sizeof(uint8) )
nnThen it appeared to work, but when I tried to connect it crashed, something related to the Steam client. Oddly enough the same thing was happening with Botman's Metamod Stripper2. Here is my map specific config, just to see if any obvious problem leaps out at you.nn
ADDn{ nclassname	info_doddetect ndetect_allies_infinite	1 ndetect_axis_infinite	1 ndetect_axis_paras	1ndetect_allies_paras	1ndetect_allies_country	0norigin.x	932norigin.y	2512norigin.z	2876 n}
nnI'm beginning to wonder if the problem doesn't lie with these plugins but with one of the other plugins borking these plugins... I guess there is only one way to find out.nnedit: Tested the MapSettings plugin without loading any other third party plugins and still had the same problem (not the crash problem, but the original problem I posted about, having to reload the map for settings to take effect).

Well, after much futzing about, I think I finally have something that is almost exactly what I want. I remembered I had the same problem with the Metamod Stripper2 plugin - I mean those errors and the crashing, until I changed the load order and had Stripper2 load first. However, changing the load order of the plugins doesn't do anything, but, as I discovered, changing the load order of the modules does. When I loaded the FakeMeta module first, the errors and the crashing went away.nnBecause both the Entity Manipulation and this Map Settings plugin do a similar thing, and both use the Fake Meta module, I expect that the same thing might apply, if you are experiencing the errors and crashing I posted about above, try uncommenting and putting the FakeMeta module at the top of the modules list. That modules list is essentually a Metamod plugins.ini file, so order can make a difference.nnThis hasn't changed the problem with cvar changes not taking effect until the next map, so I still can't use this plugin, even though I would rather use this plugin than the Entity Manipulation plugin, but I will wait to see if that can or will be fixed. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

rnrnI try the plugin using the zor’s plugin DoD Map Config ( Calls the Map Config File ) to load dod_mapsettings config on specific maps but don’t work properly, maybe is another zor’s plugin that you say in your post?

That plugin isn't necessary anymore as the map configs for AMXX do the same thing. However that still won't fix the fact that this plugin doesn't register changes to cvars until the next map, so if you are trying to change settings on a per map basis, you're better off to try Twilight Suzuka's Entity Manipulation plugin.

I've been running this plugin for a few months without issue, and I really like being able to control teh allies home country.rnrnI would like to suggest (if it is not too difficult) Adding something to the plugin where you can remove weapons or grenades that spawn on the map for a little more control on certain maps.

Maybe I worded that poorly; You see I have the map dod_italy which is a port of counter-strike's cs_italy. I like the map and it is alot of fun, but there is an area on the map where grenades constantly re-generate (spawn?) This leads to an total spamming of the allies spawn area, which quickly kills everyone's interest in the map.rnrnSo, more specifically how could I rid the map of those nades without having to edit the actual bsp and force everyone to download it?

rnrnPlayers will not have to download the map if you remove the grenades.rnweapon entities are drawn by the server, not the client.rnrnJust open the map with BSP edit and search for the following entitie, and remove the grenades you want.rn
rn{ rn"origin" "933.1696 -1021.715 -14.69112" rn"angles" "0 0 0" rn"classname" "weapon_handgrenade" rn}rn
rnrnSearch for weapon_stickgrenade if you're removing axis nades.rnrnIt works the same way when you add weapons using BSP edit and BSP viewer.rnThe map will not have to be downloaded, The server will just draw the weapons for the clients. ;) If you do add weapons, dont add more then 25 per spawn area or things could get ugly.rnrnrnP.S. A better question is why would you want to play a map that insights spawn killing ?rnI dont mean spawn camping either because on my servers that is mandatory.rnI mean shooting players before they can move to defend themselves. (spawnkilling).rnrnThere are a few decent cs maps but for the most part, dust,aztec,italy are horrible maps and are not made for dod tactics.

nnremove spawn guns removes the spawn protection (func_tank and trigger_hurt for example)nnand the map timer is a timer on certain maps where if for example a team doesnt win within a certain amount of time, the other team wins or such.. and it removes that so there is no limit to how fast a team must win i believe

rnrnChanging weather will only been seen if player/client have in their cfg cl_particlefx set to 1/2, if 0 nothing change.rnrnby changing the weather your server performance will decrease a bit..rnrn:)
