================================
MacDGuy's Custom Player Death Messages v7.1.1
================================

Updates:
7/6/06 *NEW* - Tiny little bug fix. Had to fix typos as my typing skills are terrible at 5am. Figures, eh?

7/4/06 - The new version is out! I have fixed many things and have improved the script greatly. The space issue has been solved, and the script is more compressed. I also added many new death messages (Thanks to all that helped!). You can find the changes under the changelog section of this post.

6/26/06 - The one problem that I have encountered with my script, other than some misc typos (fixed the frag grenade comment), is the random color errors. It's suppost to be dark yellow, but in some cases the text would cuttoff, or part of it would be red or blue (depending on the team the player is on), or parts would be bright yellow. The only way I could think of fixing this was to change the es_msg to ma_psay #all. I know that not everyone has Mani. So I made an option to turn it off or on. If you have Mani installed, I strongly think you should enable the Mani support. That way there will not be any color issues anymore. The next release, I'm going to put in sound options for each death. I will also be out on the look out for other fixes to this color error. I'll try to update it later today.

Thanks for the support, and enjoy the new version!


History:
Before Half-Life 2 DM, I was playing Unreal Tournament 2004. I really enjoyed the funny (to me) little comments/messages at the bottom left hand corner that stated how a player died. I love seeing "MacDGuy has left a small crater". So I decided to make my own little script that will do this for HL2DM.

Description: Displays how a player died in a unique way.

Features:
-Weapon Kills (MacDGuy couldn't escape Snillor's Combine ball's awesome power)
-Deaths (MacDGuy left a small crater)
-Special Suicide Deaths (MacDGuy fired his rocket prematurely)
-NPC Deaths (MacDGuy was clawed to death by a Zombie)

Planning on releasing a BIG update. So if at all possible, don't use the one I've posted. Use v6 when it's done.

Sounds promising.

You should revamp the script to the new style and make the saying for events be in a seperate text file so it's easier for people to change them to whatever they want.

Oh Yes I like the sound of that...
And maybe a sound option for each as well...

I just converted the script to the new style and did some MAJOR bugfixes with some improvements. I'm just going to test it, then I'll upload it in one sec.

After I post this huge update, I'll add in sound options. Thanks for the idea Cuz

*UPDATED*: Perfecto! The new release is awesome. Works better than before. I'm going to post the update.

Had to do some bug fixes, sorry about that guys. Download v6.2 at the first post.

I'm having issues getting all my scripts running at the moment. When I get things straightened out I'm going to put on your script though

Excellent plugin MacDGuy, thanks, but can you ammend your spelling on the frag grenade kill, as what you have at the moment would cause offence on some servers.

Works a treat!

Fixed the typo and tried to fix the color issue.

Hi again MacDGuy, sorry to be a pain, but when trying v6.5 just now, players report on a magnum kill it says "0 wasted [S-UK] Reapz with magnum" and not the name of the killer.

Seem to display OK with other weapons.

Hope that will help.

Scrap that last comment, must have been a quirk on the server, seems to be running fine now.

Thanks for an excellent addition to running a fun server.

I had that 0 error before, but that was just me doing more typos. I looked into the script, just to check, but the script seems to be perfect. If you get the error again, please let me know.

I added the script to our TDm server and so far it has been well received.

Thanks for making this script MacDGuy

I added weapon sounds, but it will be released in a different plugin.

Another huge update coming real soon that should fix everything to the point of no more updates for awhile.

With that said, I have to goto bed, it's 5 am ><;

Cool I might check it out after the update.

My community memebsr have voiced that they don't like the death messages though because the think the messages clutter up the say message area to much. Thus I am disabling them for the time being.

If there was a way to send the messages only to the players involved in a different method (maybe through Mani) other then chat I think people would like it better.

I liked the messages personally but I do hate a cluttered chat box as I try to pay attention to it to see what input people are giving in regards to the server.

In the next update (v7.5), I have added a way for indivual players to turn off the messages. You just say deathmessages, and it will toggle them off and on for the player.

Just updated the script to v7. Here's the changes:

7/4/06 - v7 *NEW*
