Monsters!!

There is an rcon command for allowing monsters into the game.

/cl_allowmonsters 1

To do this, I would assume sv_cheats would have to be set to 1. How do I get the monsters in-game? Do I need an Admin Mod of some sort? Or am I missing the impulse command?

ehm yes its possible to add monsters to a multiplayer game....
You need metamod and botmans monster plugin, although this plugin doesn't work right with esf.

anyway botman's site:

metamod:
http://metamod.org/

Hmm... *Wonders how many Kame Torpedos it would take to destroy a Gargantuan* ^_^

Yep, Me pretty much covered it, thanks for the info *Heads off to download sites*

hmmz well since this monster plugin don't work with esf you have to change something first, I asked botman about this but never changed this bymyself.

anyway if someone (who can code) want to do this here's the thread with the solution:

well a cople of months ago i just try it to with beta 1.0, i add a grund (the grund whas much bigger then vegeta ) he start shooting at me, so i get pist of and i load an galik gun and shoot at him i blast my self out of the game , it crashe's and i have to re-install esf again

yup that happens when you damagae him or the monsters damage you, you'll be kicked out the game

Does botman mean that section of the code or is there more following that function to get rid of (or add if necessary)?

he means that you should get rid of that piece of code (by comment it out or just delete)

Heh, that shouldn't be that hard to do... just need the source code. Althought I havn't compiled something this big before...

ehh source is here if you care:
http://www.planethalflife.com/botman/monster.shtml

Okay just 1 question, should I take out all of the if statement:

if (pEdict->v.health > 0)
{
pEdict->v.punchangle.x = -2;

// only send down damage type that have hud art
int visibleDamageBits = bitsDamage & DMG_SHOWNHUD;

if (gmsgDamage == 0)
gmsgDamage = REG_USER_MSG( "Damage", -1 );

MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, gmsgDamage, NULL, VARS(pEdict) );
WRITE_BYTE( 0 );
WRITE_BYTE( fTookDamage );
WRITE_LONG( visibleDamageBits );
WRITE_COORD( pevInflictor->origin.x );
WRITE_COORD( pevInflictor->origin.y );
WRITE_COORD( pevInflictor->origin.z );
MESSAGE_END();
}

Or just the part he said to take out (in bold)? Ill be away from my computer for 2 weeks (vacation ). So when I get back I'll finish it. But I do have access to a computer so I might be on the forums a couple times.

Well as he said only this

this is cousing the problem, this code sends a network message which most mods and hl deatmatch have but for some reason(prolly lag and not really needed) harSens or Joe removed it

heh so I don't have do it then...

and off topic: it won't let me print esf in my avatar, it thinks I'm swearing :S.

ehh if you want it to work you should

When a message is sent what a mod doesn't support the game crash well esf don't support it so you should remove it
better explenation this time ??

Yeah that was better. Ill recompile it when I get back then I'll release it if it works...

Good lemme know when your done I want to have this to

I've never compiled something this big before, so if I have problems I may need your help.

Well if you like it or not i compiled it

(hope it works)

Make sure you've the right metamod and have the full monster plugin(http://www.planethalflife.com/botman/downloads.shtml), then just overwrite this dll.

Ofcourse credits go to botman, I changed only a very small part.

Maybe i could make my bots should monsters but depends on how much people like it and how much work it is.

Have fun

heh you took my job... oh well I'm not complaining . Plus I wouldn't be able to do it for a while. But what you said would be cool, Monster Bots!!!. Can't wait to fight deh monsters .

I also think you should make a thread in the server room and sticky it for all those admin mod users.

Do you actually need admin-mod or just metamod?
