How about adding the ability so that if you go into away mode but you are a T on a de map, you auto drop the bomb so as to not inconvenience the rest of the team for that map?

Also maybe have it so that the person becomes invisible or invulnerable but have a glow around them to make it obvious that they are in away mode

this is for hl2dm not css

it can be edited to work for cs too.. including bomb drop

give me a few days

what bomb in hl2dm?

Sorry, it was also posted in the CSS section khjb007 with a link to this post

yes. if its only in hl2dm section just a few persons find it

This map pack is brilliant thanks

nice to hear you like it..

Thanks for writing this AFK script k0riz0n
We've been running it on our TDM server fr some time now and it's GREAT!

I have run accross one problem maybe someone can help out as to whats wrong.


Everything works but one thing. The freeze works, and the blind works on both away and back but on away it's not giving the 10000 health as it says it is. Any ideas ?


Also I noticed that in the Readme and Instructions above you're asking that 4 things be listed in the server.cfg. Shouldn't them 4 lines be listed in the autoexec.cfg file not the server.cfg ?

These:
=====
eventscripts_subdirectory events
eventscripts_register away
es_keygroupdelete away
es_keygroupcreate away

hmm, tried to set it manually for testing?
e.g. ma_sethealth orbit 150
it happens to all people? or just admins?


i'm not sure at the moment if autoexec.cfg is executed everytime server changes map.

I know i posted a reply but for some reason it's gone, nothing bad was said and i explained what I did but i guess someone didn't like it and removed it, i don't know. not looking to repost all what i posted as i had the one in detail and it was removed for no reason.

hm, thats bad

write me an instant message if you like..

Ok One more time or i'll never get my problem resolved.

=============End logs.


As you see there is an error there and i don't know why cause the only thing not working is the health but everything else seems to work fine.


As for the autoexec.cfg and to what you said, what i did was i added autoexec.cfg to the server.cfg this way it will load no matter what but i'm still getting the same results.

IE: exec autoexec.cfg


I tired this on both Admins and Non-Admins and still have the same problem with the health not working. As for doing the command you suggested I did that as well.

ma_sethealth orbit 150

in logs/console it says it's giving me the health but on the game it's not doing anything at all. I have another script that adds health which is the spawn protection script and it gives health with no problem and removes it back to 100 i'm not sure what code he's using and if it's the same as what you mentioned to do, so i know higher health can be given just don't know why you're script isn't doing it for me as well or what this key group error is.


ERROR: Eventscripts cannot find/create the away key!


Saved a copy of this post just incase for some reason someone doesn't like it again and removes it without saying why they removed it and for no reason.


-=orbit=-

BTW: this script kicks A** if i can get it to add the health, just had to let you know that!! This is deff something that is needed for my 9 servers.


k0riz0n, Thank you for the help and the script!!...

problem's source is, script cant set users origin health in database because the key doesn't exist

look at your player_activate.cfg there had to be something like this


then type

in server console, a text file called es_away_db.txt should be generated in
hl2mp/cfg/events/
this is a dump from database, everytime a player connects a key is generated in database.
