Author: Steve Dudenhoeffer
WWW: N/A
Version: 2.2
Released: March 30th, 2004

This plugin will display various awards at the end of each round for achievements during the previous round.

This plugin is inspired by Hypergrip's post here.

This plugin now uses a config file, rather than cvars to configure it.

Here is a quick run through of the config file:

In the config file, you will see lines similar to this:

CODE

"award" "damage"  "G" "98"    "99"    "Demolition Man:"      "%s (dealt %i points of damage)"

Here is the format of the line:

• Parameter 1 - "award" - Tells the plugin we're configuring an award
• Parameter 2 - "damage" - Tells the plugin which awards we're configuring. Valid entries:
  • "damage" - Damage done by the player
  • "deaths" - Times the player has died
  • "suicide" - Times the player has suicided (kill command/grenades, etc)
  • "tk" - Times the player has tk'd
  • "gest" - Times the player died while gestating
  • "built" - How much res worth of structures a gorge built
  • "devkill" - How many kills an onos got with devour
  • "xenocide" - How many kills with xenocide
  • "destroy" - Res worth of structures destroyed
  • "healspray" - Times a gorge has healsprayed
  • "medpack" - Times a player received a med pack
  • "devdeaths" - Times a player died while devouring

  • "electricity" - How many times the player was hit with electricity
  • "shots" - How many bullets (lmg/pistol/shotgun/hmg) a player fired
  • "waste" - How much resources worth of equipment a player died with
  • "distance" - How far a player travelled
  • "shotgun" - How many shotgun kills a player got
  • "pistol" - How many pistol kills a player got

  • "primal" - How many times a player primal screamed
  • "reswhore" - How much resources a player spent on evolutions

    New in 2.2:
  • "trigger_hurt" - How many times killed with trigger_hurts
  • "worldspawn" - How many times killed with worldspawn
  • "leap" - How many times the player lept
  • "mine" - How many times a player died by a mine
• Parameter 3 - "G" - Category the award is in. Valid entries:
  • "G" - General
  • "M" - Marine
  • "A" - Alien
  • "N" - None - Completely disabled
• Parameter 4 - "98" - NS Priority. This is the priority of the award during NS mode.
• Parameter 5 - "99" - Combat priority. This is the priority of the award during CO mode.
• Parameter 6 - "Demolition Man:" - This is the text before the name in the award.
• Parameter 7 - "%s (dealt %i points of damage)" - This is the text which contains the player's name and the award specifics. %s designates the player's name, %i designates the number inserted in the award. Both must be present, and %s must come before %i.

Note that the plugin locks the cvar mp_drawdamage to 1. However, the damage indicators will not be displayed unless the cvar mp_damagedraw is also set to 1.

Note the display is sent from csay-type text. The text will align fine for all resolutions at or above 640*480. Any display below that, and some text will over lap.

If two or more awards for the same category have the same priority, they will be randomly selected now.

This plugin is no longer supported by the author. Depot

Nice!!

Installing it on Reaperville right now (69.56.143.58:27015)

[SjN]

allright. it's pretty good. I like the colors.
the only thing i didn't like is, it disappears too fast from the screen. so you just don't have enough time to finish reading it all.

I wish there was a "ok" button to press after you finish reading it. but i know it's not possible.

how about, set the timer to 60(or just make a variable for the admin)? and in the end of the awards message it will say something like "type /close to hide the awards text".

Well, the original requester for the plugin had suggested a VGUI window (thread here), and made a nice photoshop with how he had hoped it would look, however... VGUI doesn't work in NS, so I had to comprimise with the csay-like text.

I could probably change the timer to a cvar, and then add the option to remove it on "say /close". F4ing again while in the readyroom (or joining another team) will also clear it from the player's screen.

perhaps you should wait and not change the display method atm. As it ahs beens aid in beta 4 flayra will be fixing he motd display. Now how this will be fixed im not sure if anyone really knows. But, if flayra makes it like cs with vgui and html then this would be the method to display it imho

Updated. Added the cvar "mp_awardsdelay" which determines how long the display is on the client's screens. Clients can remove the text in 3 different ways:

• Saying "/close" - The text will not appear on anybody's screen, so it does not flood other's display.
• F4ing again while the display is up.
• Joining any team.

The default mp_awardsdelay is set to 45 seconds. Version 1.0 of the plugin had the delay set to 20 seconds.

I've not heard that the VGUI windows (MOTD windows) would be fixed for beta 4, however, if they are, I would update this plugin to use them.
