*forgot*

zone has no greens, just from ded ppl and always "full charge" prizes

Purge · Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2004 8:12 am Post subject:

Ok, for the ship you want to have the shrapnel and no guns: In your zone do ?set shipname:MaxGuns=0 for no guns. For shrapnel, do ?set shipname:ShrapnelMax=#, where the # is how much shrapnel you want to come out. You can also set a shrapnel rate by doing ?set shipname:ShrapnelRate=#, where the higher the # the higher the rate of shrapnel.

Might be a little confusing.

first of all, thanks Purge+

nah not confusing, already did some stuff here lol
so the no bullets was no prob I already hat that but the problem is I already set the
shipname:ShrapnelMax=#
to 10 or more and it didn't work, the bombs just explode and i can't see anything...

maybe they are there but I can't see them... but I didn't change the "shrapnel.bm2" (in fact I didn't add it to my lvz, is this necessary?)

Purge · Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2004 9:49 am Post subject:

No, it's not necessary to add it to your .lvz. However, keep looking through your server.cfg or the Esc C file and check to see if what you want is there.

You need a bot to prize shrapnel when people spawn, or you need to add shrapnel to the prizeweight so you get it in the initial bounty (the same goes if you want initial prox or multifire).

so there is no way I can have only Full Charge prizes apearing and have a ship starting with shrapnel?

syberjj · Posted: Fri Dec 24, 2004 3:49 pm Post subject:

I'm trying to do it in another way

I downloaded "Message Bot" plugin and I want him to message to every player that spawns the shrapnel prize, but it wont work

The bot is sysop and thats not the problem because when I do it myself nothing hapens either, it just says "granting prizes"

I could use some help setting up this plugin since I have no "readme" file
I also dunno why the game won't grant the prizes (it is prize 19 isn't it?)

Smong · Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2004 9:06 am Post subject:

Are you doing *prize #19, *prize 19 grants 19 random prizes. Also make sure your shrapnelrate is the same as maxshrapnel.

oh, I was doing "*prize 19"
i'll try that
ya allready set tem to the same
thanks

syberjj · Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2005 8:00 pm Post subject:

still not working...
one way or another ("*prize 19" or *"prize #19")
the server doesn't excute the command, he just sends the message to the user who enters...

strange... maybe be bot uses some other way to send the message that "bypasses" the server chat and goes directly to the user... is this possible?

No. I am sure it works. Can you post the exact code you're using?

thats the bot's dll ini file, dunno if it''s the code you wanted but...

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:45 pm Post subject:

Wait. Aren't the messages already private? I think the bot is already sending the message privately, and then adding on the :%name%: so it doesn't work.

syberjj · Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:05 pm Post subject:

oh fuck!!!

ya ur right! they are allready private! aaahhh!!! I'm feeling dumb!!!!

thanks allot! now it's working...

Now I just need to figure out how to make the bot send the message *every time* the player spawns, changes ships...
He is only prizing when the player enters the freq, not on shipchange...
And what do the coords do? define in wich area this message will work only?

but almost there lol thanks allot
