2nd Amxx Plugin

[ESFNewbie]

Here's my second plugin
I made PL saving plugin.. which does the following.
When someone leaves the server it saves his PL and when he comes back he gets his PL back.
PL doesnt Affected by going spector/killing self.
Also the maximum PL you can have is 2bilion it wont save more then that..
Cvar for using is
esf_plsaving 1/0
while activeted is 1 and deactiveted is 0
It's automaticly sets it self to 1 when u start a server...

Also Shiffting between classes will let u keep your PL..
Here's an upload link.. and if you use it please post here with an opinion..

Credits: good tutorials and other plugins posted at Amxx mod site which helped me learning as I was looking at thier source..
I was using ESF moudle which can be found on the Amxx site.. if it doesnt work it possible you dont have this moudle...(I think it comes with the full Amxx download in thier site)

Edit: had some problem fixed it now meh.

Sounds good, but can be rather annoying when people join the server having a huge powerlevel.. Which is rather down side about this plugin. Where does it saves in? Vault.ini?

 

[ESFNewbie]

Yeah It's saving to vault.ini.
I know it can be annoying but some people "work" hard for thier PL that's just for fun servers where ppl dont want to lose thier PL.

 

[Spunky]

Can you post the source?

 

[ESFNewbie]

Sure ill post the source maybe ull make it better ;p

Rapidshare never works for me... it always says i'm over dl limit, even though I never use it.
Sounds like a good plugin though. :yes:

 

[ESFNewbie]

Odd.. give me another upload site and I'll upload there

 

[Mog]

www.amxmodx.org ...although I used to be banned there, thanks to the same reason that Rapidshare doesn't work for me...
The IP address that those sites detect for me is the address of an internet gateway used by hundreds of other computers, not just my own.
...which is why it's not really surprising that rapidshare thinks I've exceeded the dl limit after about a minute!

anyway, i can download from there now... if you can upload plugins there more people will use them too.

I can't think of any simple alternative rapidshare-like upload sites that would work for me...
I normally just create a basic website somewhere and upload my files to it, but that's not as simple or as good as using rapidshare.

EDIT:
nm, that 2nd mirror you added works fine... gonna try it out.

 

[Spunky]

I haven't coded a plugin for AMXX since 2005, so my Pawn may be a bit rusty. But anyways, here we go:

When I opened it, I immediately noticed this:

new PLUGIN[]="Save PL"
new AUTHOR[]="ESFnewbie"
new VERSION[]="0.1"
 
public plugin_init()
{
 register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
 register_cvar("esf_plsaving","1")
 register_event("ResetHUD","spwancheck","b")
 register_event("DeathMsg","Deathfunc","a")
 register_clcmd("say /savepl","SavePL") //command to save your pl
 register_clcmd("say_team /savepl","SavePL")
 register_clcmd("ascend","PreTransPL")
}

Really, all you need is this:

public plugin_init()
{
 register_plugin("Save PL", "0.1", "ESFNewbie")
 register_cvar("esf_plsaving","1")
 register_event("ResetHUD","spwancheck","b")
 register_event("DeathMsg","Deathfunc","a")
 register_clcmd("say /savepl","SavePL") //command to save your pl
 register_clcmd("say_team /savepl","SavePL")
 register_clcmd("ascend","PreTransPL")
}

It doesn't make any difference on how the program will perform, but it will make your code look nicer. You should always look for ways to make your code as small as possible.

The second thing I noticed was that I couldn't understand your comments. Seriously dude, if you can code a plugin, you can type in the english language. I'm not flaming, or trying to give you a hard time. I'm just saying, it's easier for others to understand your work if they can understand your comments. This may seem retarded, but this is coming from years of experience in programming.

Third, try to make mininal use of the vault. In this instance, it's alright, since it's only a small script. But if you ever write a larger script, like an EVM-equivelant, then you might want to use SQL instead. It's cleaner, and you don't run the risk of data loss if the server crashes.

That's all for now. I hope I helped.

Works great! Code looks pretty good too. :yes:

I tried to run it on 1.3ob as well, and it obviously didn't work...
(well it didn't getPL or setPL, and it wasn't too keen on android 18 and cpt ginyu... but other than that it worked i guess. :])

About Spunky's suggestions, I think...
-The way you declared plugin name, author and version was better than the "nicer looking" way.
-SQL would definitely be a better option, and shouldn't take long to learn how to use it.

 

[sub]

Out of curiosity, if I get 4 million pl with Goku, and than I go to cell, does cell now have 4 million pl? Imo, each character should be separate... You should also add something for players who dont want their pl saved, like typing "reset my PL" ingame will reset that persons pl

cool plugin though, great idea

I've always thought an Esf-Rpg plugin would be rather interesting, if a little hard to balance.

For it to work PL would have to be alot harder to earn , and attack values would have to be re-scaled, but it could be very interesting, as long as there's some sort of system to prevent high level players raping the hell out of low level players (Servers with level limits etc)

NICE WORK , Im really impressed with tis Plug-In, reminds me of ET. Good work. To bad our Australian server doesnt run on AMX >_<

Congrats Good wrk.

[ESFNewbie]

Well, yeah I think there are a few ways to make this code smaller and also using SQL would be nice if it had been bigger.
About the comment well english is not my native language so when I put comments most of the time I write it in language which is rather slang (some times with errors but still a sort of slang) but I'll try working on it too.
About the the Author, Version, Etc I think it makes the code look abit better and make it easier to understand.
For Sub I think later I may update the plugin so each class will have diffrent PL saving after I'll work with SQL better.
But for now changing classes will let you keep your PL but I'll add resetpl command or something like that.
Thanks for your comments

Would it be possible to create a full rpg mod like in counterstrike source?
and with changes like Regen, Health, Speed, Vampire, Power Up Faster
with the leveling system and stuff. And you would start with Melee, ki blast, gen beam, and would need to learn attacks (buy them with rpg creds?)

i know that this would cause spamming but i would love such a plugin

Such plugin already in progress .

though the server should reset the stats... like if the player goes away for a while like 1 hour... and then he comes back playing again, he should get his pl back.

but not like after a month someone comes with 2 billion pl and pwn all by a kamehame ha. Nice plugin!
