DoD Pick-up Game Mod (PUG MOD)

dogfire · Post by **dogfire** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:22 am

I finally got around to working on this plugin again and I feel that it's ready for beta testing.

For those that aren't familiar with this project, The PUG MOD is basically a fully automated plugin that allows players to play a PUG or 12 Man (whatever you prefer to call it) without the need of a server admin.

========================================================================================================
The process of the plugin works as follows:

Spoiler: show

Plugin runs on this server:

connect dodpugbeta.game.nfoservers.com:27015; password 1911

========================================================================================================

UPDATES:

7/3/2012: Relive/Reset Feature Added

Captains can now Relive/Reset the half by simply typing "reset" in chat. Once a captain types "reset" the opposing captain has 30 seconds to comply with the request.

This was implemented to prevent a team from having a disadvantage from all the silly crap that happens before the half starts.

6/25/2012: Random Class Fix

If you manually assign yourself to the correct team the plugin will not set you to random class when it checks to see if the teams are correct. The HOME team is always ALLIES first. The AWAY team is always AXIS first.

While the server is WAITING FOR PLAYERS TO CONNECT, assign yourself to the correct team, set your class and you shouldn't run into any problems.

Should make it to auto record HLTV on the server.

Maybe we can use the money from the 1911 pub server that we have and put it into a 12 man server or two with this on them.

I am glad someone did this, thank you.

Does it run off of amxxmod or something?

raz0r · Post by **raz0r** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 10:25 am

Will anyone on the server need access to rcon?
Will the plugin continue to be exec'd? So Can people join at some random time, with no admin rights, and be able to run it?
Any way to kick tkers/afkers?

Also, concern about "captain picks the map" They could randomly just pick something terrible, any way to at least limit it to league maps? Or is it already?

Thanks man, look forward to testing it out.

I'm sure that no idiot will pick a map that people don't agree on and clear the server.

Auto recording is in the works, just wanted to release the plugin as it is to test what has already been implemented. You're welcome.

Yes.

AFKs will be auto kicked after a certain time period. Tkers will probably need to be vote kicked unless a TK limit is set.

No one will need rcon access to the server, the plugin will be running all the time.

Only captains can push the game forward.

AFKs will be auto kicked after a certain time period. Tkers will probably need to be vote kicked unless a TK limit is set.'

Map list is limited to whatever the server admin sees fit.

Autokick for AFKs and TKers isn't implemented yet but can easily be done. I understand that it can be a serious issue but I'm really planning on only league players using this plugin during it's testing period, so I kind of expect you guys to not TK and or go AFK. Please take it seriously.

Just make it a simple vote system for the map change, don't let one asshole/12yearold ruin things just cuz he didn't get first pick.

I have been looking forward to this, and down to testing it out.

You need to make sure that this pluggin if it is running off AMX, that its not going to affect the registry. Amx is terrible when it comes to registry in any server.

Heavily modded servers have their registry affected. A small handful, which when this is added might make 4 on the 1911 server, will not cause it to be affected to the point that you'll notice it. We've all played on heavily modded servers, and the registry is fine, you're just missing.

Regardless of wether or not people start using this regularly, thanks for putting so much effort into and continuing to work on it. Once you've got the bugs figured out, hit me up and we'll get it all set up on the 1911 server.

The #1 thing that affects the registry is the fact that dod on the internet is a really shitty game.

Used it earlier today, thanks for putting in all the effort! I thought it worked really well. If there was an HLTV in the server, which there wasn't, would a captain be able to pick the HLTV and fuck up the 12man? That is the only concern I can think of right now. Also some sort of map voting system may be nice, not sure if that is possible but having one person pick the map may suck eventually.

If a map cant be pick then can we atleast lock it to MOTW?

I specifically designed the plugin so that next to nothing would be running in the background while the game is in progress so this shouldn't be a worry.

I don't know why the HLTV doesn't stay connected yet, it should be in there at all times. The HLTV is ignored by the functions that enumerate players in the server so it shouldn't be an issue.

Map voting seems to be pretty popular it will likely be implemented.

nunz wrote: If a map cant be pick then can we atleast lock it to MOTW?

When I start handing it out, you guys can do whatever you want with the map list. You could essentially lock it to one map by simply putting one entry in the map list.

It plays really well, great job so far dogfire.

Only issue for me is the mod assigns us a random gun when it puts us on the right team, is there a way to make it so it will bring up the menu and we get to pick the weapon we want? It assigned me an MG as it was going live today lol. We said ready pretty quickly, but it would make things easier to pick a gun rather than being set to random.

Yeah I've heard that problem from several people now. It's definitely something that can be fixed. I'll try to get it in the next update. Thanks for the feedback.

The registry problem was a bug in AMX about 8 years ago. IIRC it was actually a problem with the metamod dll, not even AMX. AMXX shouldn't affect registry as long as it's not slowing server fps, which it sounds like it shouldn't be.

I'm still considering making a very simple stats system that only keeps track of score, kills and deaths for each game. I would design it so it could be used with or without PUG MOD.

I think something like that may be useful for situations where stats are posted on forums for league matches but, since that requires TPG to allow the use of AMXX, I don't think that will happen too easily.

I'd say if you wanted any more stats than that, just use psycho stats and call it a day.

No but they are interesting. It might also help put things in perspective for team captains. Just a thought.
