So lets see, from the top its been along time since I've played ESF and I must say its come along way and its much better then what it was awhile back. I do believe this use to be a mod called DragonBallz Mod? Possibly? Or maybe ESF is seperate and I have no idea what im talking about.

Regardless I host servers for ESF and I was curious, how can I set it up so my players have a higher KI amount from the time they log on? IE: Vegeta starts with about a 700,000 ki level. Could I set my server that all players join with a 1,000,000 level Ki amount? Further-more, I see that cheats even on a LAN aren't enabled which is popular amongst most mods, but im hoping there is a way an admin of a server can change a players KI amount, or set it from the start.

Thanks for your time.

There is no cvar to set the ki by default. However i heard rumors that there is an amx(x) plugin to set the ki. Though i doubt you´ll have any luck to find it or get it from people.

KI?, Don't you mean PL? (Power Level). About the ki (Energy) It's true. I was surfing the AMXX forums yesterday, and saw the "unlimited" ammo plugin also for Earth Special Forces. And also about a plugin to change your own powerlevel.

I'd say, have fun searching for it. ^_^

 

[CyroTek]

Uh. Yeh, PL is wat i meant. Lol. *cough* Anyway, somethin like that would be arlite for fun purpose, like beam fightin or crap. Its kind of annoyin to blob the hell out of someone to get ssj wit vegeta. >_>

Oh, and as for your question. It is possible, either you could create a whole new AMXX powerlevel plugin, or attempt to change the one that has already been made so it will give powerlevel to everyone who joins the server and or chooses a character.

Ok so I found the AMX mods I need to run my server the way I want to.

Now, im having trouble with installing it and making ESF run.

Heres whats up first.

1. My steam directory is "C: \Games\Steam\Steamapps\<MyUserName>\Half-life\ESF

I install AMX mod to that folder and nothing happens, I get a report from the AMX installer saying that no files were copied or anything. Then I go to run ESF and the game isnt functional, I can't start a server it crashes to my desktop.

I have a feeling i've done something wrong, saving my config files I reinstall ESF and then place them back and it works out. Can someone elaborate on how to install AMX correctly?

That would be awesome.

K, heres the guide. I'll start to need to post links after a while, theres going to be a few pictures. Anyways, here's the guide.

Step one:
Go to the download section in http://www.amxmodx.org and download the full install.

Step two:
Get done installing, blah blah blah. Run it, and get to the point where you see this:

I'll give you a quick low-down of what the main things are.

Steam Dedicated server: This is where when you want to run a server where you can have the server up using a program, and not ESF.

Steam Listen Server: This is where you open up ESF, goto create new game.

Step three: Select one of the dedicated or listen server. For this example, I used listen server. A menu of games will pop up. Select Earth's special forces.

Hit Next.

Step four: Let it install. After installation, goto your ESF folder and look at your amx folder (Steam/steamapps/youremail/half-life/ESF/addons/amxmodx)

Step five: To make things easier on yourself, goto the configs folder, and open the modules file in notepad.

Take off all the ; where theres a module. Heres mine.

; AMX Mod X Modules
; You can specify both linux & win32 modules here
; To enable a module, remove the semi-colon from the line

Step six: Now we got to go get you a plug-in.

I wrote numbers, so follow along:

1. Click Plug-ins.
2. Go to Mods.
3. Go to Earth's Special Forces.
4. Click Search.

Step seven: For the example I'm using, I'm using the plug-in "ESF Powerlevel changer"

Step eight: Download both of these:

Step nine: You're almost there.

Go to your configs folder, shown above, and open the file plugins in notepad.

Step ten: In this folder, at the bottom you want to add the name of the .amxx file you downloaded earlier.

; Custom - Add 3rd party plugins here
esf_powerlevel_changer.amxx

It should look like that on the end.

Step eleven: go to your plugins folder, and put esf_powerlevel_changer.amxx in there.

Step twelve: Last step.

Go to your scripting folder, and put the esf_powerlevel_changer.sma in there.

Congradulations, you have it.

How to work this particular plugin
Inside console, you want to type:

esf_powerlevel "name" "number of PL you want"

So for example, if my name was Kaination in-game, and I wanted 10,000,000 PL, it'd be:

Esf_powerlevel "Kaination" "10000000"

And there you go. Have fun.

Also note... When you get other plugins, they usually tell you how to work it inside the description.

--------

There you go : )

That took me roughly 30 minutes to put together... Man, do I feel accomplished o/

Problem, when I select Steam Listen Server, I get no detected games, where EXACTLY should AMXmod install?

 

[Engmus]

ALSO, when I do "select mod Folder" what folder exactly am I installing this too? The ESF folder, because that doesnt work.

 

[samurai^Kurai]

do you use steam??
if not thats the prob. if you do: you need to start a mod at least once for amxx to recognize it otherwise you'll get an empty list

 

[Engmus]

I do use steam, do you mean have the modification running while installing AMX? I will try a combonation of things im think of tonight.

 

[Mastasurf]

Nice walk through Kaination :0)

 

[Engmus]

BTW: still doesnt work. I select listen server with Steam on and nothing, steam on with ESF open and alt tab out, nothing, steam off and nothing. I can't get AMX to see any of the mods I have installed.

 

[Engmus]

Seriously no other thoughts?

AMXmod still doesn't work.
