Spawn protection mod

[=TLI=Drunk]

Im looking for a spawn protection mod for our server.


We have one on our AWE server but need one on our un-moded server but we dont want big downloads on it.


Can anyone help

I would just use AWE and turn all the other features off. It doesnt have to be downloaded to the player, as it is a server-side mod.

Using the mod itself with all features turned off will still make the player download it if downloading is enabled on the client's side.

I have a simple (VERY simple) means of doing it. Take a look:

spawnProtection()
{
self endon("killed");
self endon("spanwed");
self endon("disconnect");
//... any other triggers necessary
self.spawnprotect=true;

duration=getCvarFloat("sv_spawn_protection_time");
wait duration;
self.spawnprotect=undefined;
}

Save that as _spawn.gsc (in the SAME directory as _teams.gsc, which is
pakuo04.pk3).

now, edit _teams.gsc.. Here are the instructions when the file is open (just use wordpad):
Search for "Callback_PlayerDamage", or just find it yourself :P
Right inside that function (or directly below the {) at the very top, put in the following code

if (isdefined(self.spawnprotect)) return;

Now, add the following code to the BOTTOM of your spawnPlayer() function (within _teams.gsc):

self thread maps\MP\gametypes\_spawn::spawnProtection();

Now, get yourself a config file. You'll probably want to use config.cfg. Add set sv_spawn_protection_time "x" to it, x being the time (in seconds) you would like your spawners to be protected.

You're now ready! Good luck. Also please note, this requires absolutely no downloading.
