For the past week or so...I've been testing AmxModX...a new admin tool. Well...it's not new, but it'll be new to us and it is remarkably similar to AdminMod. So don't panic about having to learn a whole bunch of new stuff...both admins and clients.
I have just about everything we currently have on our server working...and then some. The voting system negates the bots...something I've longed for. We'll have new fireworks (and possibly still the old ones), a voice comm system to talk privately between ourselves or an individual player and a menu driven administration system with on screen menus for just about any function you would normally operate through your console.
I'm running a fully functional "trial" server this weekend that I will ask folks to come and help me test, comment on and suggest improvments. If the testing goes well, this will be our new, permanent set up.
As we go along...I'll update this post with what we've found is wrong, what needs improvement and what I've added.
What we don't have so far that WILL be back:
* Roll the Dice
Noted Problems:
* A -[CfH]- member first connecting "may" have a problem with the tag...just leave and come back. Don't yet know the cause. This plug-in has been disabled until I have more time to look at the cause.
* IF you build a radio - there could be problems with admin and client menus...don't have an answer to this one yet.
Fixed:
* Glow Colors - tks.wav to Adam - Further editing of options is necessary.
* Swear Filter - tks.wav to Adam
* Changelevel menu is incomplete (Admins). I will recompile it to accept a greater number of maps. Plug-in recompiled to handle a greater number of maps.
* Map voting increased from 30 to 45 seconds. |

I'm an admout, not an admin. But I can only imagine menu driven console over CLI will be a huge boost to that group. Don't have to remember obscure commands, syntax and variables; displays features you might not know exist. Rock on.
I'd be (Mr.) happy to get busy over the weekend and kick the tires on the client stuff and let you know. About time I started hacking up the game a bit. I can configure a router to run OSPF and IP Telephony but still haven't bothered to change my crosshair's or configure a jump or reload script. I should be ashamed of having such a full life and not dedicating more time to the game. |

I used to admin at OWOL (Chaotic Llama) and the three OWOL servers all ran an older AMX mod. admin_menu was a great help.
One thing that got used a LOT at OWOL was +voiceall. The server was set to team-talk by default. Messages informed folks to bind a key to +voiceall to talk to everybody. Soon, everybody had one key to talk to the server and one key to talk to their team. Not sure if +voiceall is in the newer versions or AMX. Might be worth checking out. |

My plan is to have something similar...yet, more robust. Although I haven't tried the plugin I'm looking at, it appears to have several voice channels...kinda like Ventrillo or Teamspeak inside of TFC. |

* Changelevel menu is incomplete (Admins). I will recompile it to accept a greater number of maps. |
For that, go to the scripting folder within amxmodx.
Open mapsmenu.sma
Set #define MAX_MAPS to 2048 (don't go too high, you may exceed the integer limits).
Save it.
Open mapchooser.sma
Set #define MAX_MAPS to 2048
Set #define SELECTMAPS to however many maps you want to appear, no more than 8 though or players can't extend.
Save it.
Run compile.exe, this will automatically attempt to compile each script.
Go in the Compiled subfolder, then take your new mapsmenu.amxx and mapchooser.amxx and paste them into /addons/amxmodx/plugins
(but you probably knew all that anyway)
Can't help you there sorry, I don't use that.
Quote: |
* Glow Colors
* Swear Filter |
I have working plugins for them, with a wide range of colours/swear words already defined.
Get these 4 files.
Place the two ini files in /addons/amxmodx/configs
Place the two sma files in /addons/amxmodx/scripting
Add amx_swear_slap 20 to your server.cfg, replace 20 with the amount of damage you want to slap people with when they are filtered. 0 for no slapping.
Run compile.exe to compile those two plugins, then take the two amxx files. I recommend placing them in /addons/amxmodx/plugins/3p, it's nicer to keep 3rd party plugins separate from the originals.
Then, at the bottom of plugins.ini add:
Code: |
3p/plugin_glow.amxx ; Player glowing
3p/swear_filter.amxx ; Swear filter |
I've got some more plugins if you want them, stuff like:
* Kick idle players after X minutes, if there are Y players or more connected.
* Client command executing.
* Cheat commands (god/noclip).
* IRC /me style actions.
* Displaying rules on connect, and with say /rules |

Thanks for the info Adam.
I'd already fixed the map problem...I recompiled it using Set #define MAX_MAPS to 275...as we only have 256 maps on the server. No need to go that large.
I will definitely take a look at the other two.
Rebs...the random map vote is taken from the availabe maps on the server...all are included. Shortbus last night was funneh. |

If I put up a mapvote it'll all be fantastic ones hand-selected by me . Once I can pick a map alphabetically later in the list than forever2, of course |

Is anyone else having trouble with playing sounds (hi, yo, rush, rage, et al. wav) and with voice comm? Cant seem to get those running...is it local to my machine or is it server wide? |
