Sandbags/Parachutes/Stats

[Fafner]

I've added a few code features recently:

-Engineers can drop sandbags. Pics here: viewtopic.php?p=87153#p87153

-Airborne can now use a parachute once per spawn. Either automatically when they spawn or by hitting the "arty" key

-Servers can now record some stats for players. You can see a player's rating on the server by looking at the extra scoreboard (double clicking the scoreboard bind). Servers need to create a "dday/stats" folder and put "set stats 1" in their server.cfg to enable it.

Dirk and I also wrote a PHP script to show player rankings on the server. Here's the stats for Dirk's server, this is a work in progress:

All of this is running on Dirk's server now.



The latest source/dll is also in the "source code" link on the left.

Thanks Fafner everything is looking great at Dirk's server its getting better every day. I also updated my server source code to dday5032 but I am missing one thing. I do not have voting at the end of each map. Do I have to add something to my server.cfg file for voting to work?

[Fafner]

Make a txt file in your dday folder called "votemaps.txt" and put all the maps you want to be votable in it like this:

dday1
dday2
dday3
dday5
invade1
invade2
invade3
invade4
invade5
invade6
etc.


Then put "set mapvoting 1" in your server.cfg

Thank you Fafner I now have voting on the maps on my server thanks to you.

I've been toying with the British engi.

Sandbags are great, but the bots keep destroying them.
I carefully placed 2 sandbags on top of eachother so I could peek through but one of my team's bots came running passed, stopped and shot the 2 bags....

It's been a while, but think I'm getting the hang of it again

I've been really enjoying myself with the light machine gunner. The changes to it are excellent. I don't know if it's possible, but I just noticed the sandbags getting abused a lot to get into spaces someone usually shouldn't. Isn't it possible to limit the bags to 2 per team max? If 1 gets destroyed another one can get deployed. I just saw people making stairs out of them

Great job, the sandbags are making the bots angry when they cant get thru them going up stairs funny stuff but great addon

Here is what man can do with sandbags:

lol that's exactly what I meant with abuse. I thought bags are punchable so they can be moved? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Fafner]

they break with like 2 knife hits.

[Rab,d]

I like the punch/push idea. Use that chicken code.

[InFerNo]

I'm satisfied with 2 knife hits

Perhaps you should make changelogs even for the smallest things. I didn't know they could be destroyed with knives so easily (or I read and forgot in which case changelogs are useless )
