Lua Enhanced Server Module

(Zelly) #1

Hello everyone!

I have been working on a project with pure lua that enhances current ET servers.
I have been working on it alone for a few years and just recently invited purple to come help me out.

A short description of some of the many features that it has:
It is very configurable, if something isn’t already configurable it would be very easy to make it configurable.
It includes over 60 custom commands.
Has a mail system.
It has an option to register a profile to see all your stats over time. (Also used for a bunch of other stuff)

There is a lot in the project and it is constantly changing, so for more up to date information you can view the wiki on bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/zelly/lua-enhanced-server-mod/wiki/Home
The wiki has a feature list, command list, information about the keys, how to report bugs, how to join development and more.

I am always open to ideas to improve my project so please take a look.
Here is the home page if you want to take a look around the project: https://bitbucket.org/zelly/lua-enhanced-server-mod/overview

Thanks I check out your forums every once and a while, will try to keep up to date if anyone asks anything there.

Hi, nice work.
“PauseStart”
I read about your problem there. Why you don’t just keep setting the origin and “free” it after your own time?

Something like (not tested/just an idea)


function et_InitGame(levelTime,randomSeed,restart)
mclients = tonumber( et.trap_Cvar_Get( "sv_maxClients" ) )
gamestate = tonumber(et.trap_Cvar_Get( "gamestate" ))
pos = {}
waittimer = 0
	if gamestate == 0 then	
		waittimer = 1
	end
end

function et_ClientSpawn(cno,revived)
	pos[cno] = et.gentity_get(cno, "origin")
end

samplerate = 200
function et_RunFrame( levelTime )
if math.mod(levelTime, samplerate) ~= 0 then return end
        if waittimer > 0 then
		waittimer = waittimer + 1
	end
	if waittimer == 25 or waittimer == 50 or waittimer == 75 or waittimer == 100  then
		local seconds = (((125 - waittimer )*200) / 1000 )
		et.trap_SendServerCommand(-1, "chat \"^3WAIT TIMER^7: ^1"..seconds.." ^7seconds until ^3your team^7 may move. 
\"" )
		for cno=0, mclients-1, 1 do
			SetWaitPos(cno)
		end
        end
	if waittimer == 125 then
		waittimer = 0
	end
end

function SetWaitPos(target)
	if et.gentity_get(target, "sess.sessionTeam") == 1 or et.gentity_get(target, "sess.sessionTeam") == 2 then
		et.gentity_set(target, "origin", pos[target])
	end
end

It would probably be possible but the clock would still be running during that time, so I would have to add the few seconds onto the current timelimit.

Unless there is a way to pause time through another method other than the ref pause.

(Micha) #6

How about to get the timelimit and then add the waittime to it.
waittimetotal = xx value
timelimit = et.trap_Cvar_Get(“g_usertimelimit”)
et.trap_Cvar_Set(“g_usertimelimit”, (timelimit + waittimetotal)

(Zelly) #7

It is worth a shot, if it isn’t too buggy. Will add it to next version. Still need to clean up some things for current version.

(Destroy666) #8

SpawnWalkThorugh looks interesting, but what happens if the spawn shield ends when you’re at the same spot as another player?

(Zelly) #9

You will be inside the player, until one of you moves, and then you get kind of pushed out.

(zbzero) #10

It will be compatible with etpro?

(Zelly) #11

Short answer: not yet

I tried to, but etpro uses old lua, and so much isn’t compatible. It is possible in the future I will be able to figure out a workaround to all incompatibilities.
Right now etpro uses lua 5.0 silent etpub and noquarter use 5.1 and legacy is using 5.2 and soon to be using 5.3. So with such a big project it is very difficult to accommodate every mod, but if anyone knows how to make it work I can attempt it.

You can follow the progress on that issue here: https://bitbucket.org/zelly/lua-enhanced-server-mod/issue/15/etpro

etpub got updated to lua 5.2.1. Not sure when it will be official released but people can compile the new mod themself.
Anyways, I had the same problem because some stuff is missing or got renamed/changed.

(zbzero) #13

sorry my newbish but someone can point me to somewhere where i can read in a easy way how to compile it, im really curious!!

(Zelly) #14

I think this is what you need: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/etpub/wiki

ETPub is dead, last commit was made more than a year ago.

(Micha) #16

No it’s not, pheno is still working here and then on it. He already included nice new things. He just didn’t commited it to assembla.

(twt_thunder) #17

I can confirm this.
