RCBot Forums _ Unrelated _ A truely bot friendly plugin

Posted by: Sandman[SA] Sep 12 2004, 06:35 AM

One of my teammates ( TheLazyone[SA] ) made us a metamod plugin for our server ( TheSandbox ) that would help keep lame marines from killing off the bots without a fight. What this plugin does is it makes the hive poisionus to marines who stand or crouch on top of the hive thus stopping marines from simply knifing the hive down.

I have permission from the author to release it to anyone who want's it for thier bot servers. It is 100% stable with all versions of NS and all bots available for the NS mod but unfortunatly, it's currently only available for win32 platforms. There are no cvar settings required.

Anyway, if you want it, here it is.

So this is where you posted it eh?
Sorry about not having a linux version available, I'll try and get one out within the next few days but could take longer due to other projects and lack of source code ( lost it smile.gif )

Linux version now available.
Added in this version is a cool bacteria effect when a marine steps ontop of the hive but you won't see it until a mapchange if you loaded the plugin during gameplay.

Compilation info:
OS : Slackware Linux 10.0
Compiler : GCC 3.4.4
MM Version: 1.17.2

Tested under VirtualPC 2004 running the latest hlds linux server on NS 3.0 b5 and metamod 1.17.2.
It seems to work ok but it was hard to test because of VirtualPC running the server in the background making gameplay slow.

Added:
Upload not working?
Anyone got space for this?

This sure helps, I sometimes create a server myself with bots for my friends, and the task as a marine is really too easy because of this problem. Thanks for this.
