PVKII Randomizer Release

MadKat

PVKII Randomizer plugin for SourceMod

If you are running the plugin and want to disable it, all functionality will turn off with rnd_enabled being set to 0. I encourage server operators to try it out. I know there are many people who would like to play it but are too far away to enjoy it on my test server. Feedback is more than welcome.

Great job

Squirrel

Agreed.

Paladin

Should come in handy.

niknak

i wanna test it.... now !!!!

any server running the plugin already?

ZinuX

His server

MadKat

Found a bug in my armor values. If the HK seems a little squishy, it is because he is.

I'll have a patch out this evening.

MadKat

V1.01 released. Next version will include messages on spawn to let you know what class you are.

Will you release another version that fixes the bug with the 3 kegs, too, or did you already stop working on this plug-in?
(Currently its spawning you with 3 Kegs right away, which is just plain annoying since alot of people abuse it)

MadKat

Thanks for the bug report. I'll take a look at it this weekend.

Randomizer is hilarious, but its rather sad that the servers using it have a high ping for me, living in Sweden has its backsides when it comes to servers made in USA.

Living there has much more disadvantages than living in Sweden though . Apart from the connection to US servers.

MadKat

New update. Kegs still a little wonky, but you shouldn't spawn with more than two at this point. Not sure what the game is doing with them under the hood.

Mason

Fun times on slammin butt pirates with this. Thanks.

Blood-Wiper

Fun times for me too! (never played it on butt pirates.)

This probably known already but...

In regards to achievements, if the class is using a weapon that they don't normally use then they don't gain achievements towards the ones such as crusader/captain blackbeard/pride of odin. Pretty sure this is normal because I am guessing it looks at the class + weapon together. However, if, lets say, a Gestir with HK's Claymore takes down 3 people in a special, it'll get Soluvaki instead of Get to the Choppa or nothing. Can't remember if keg/parrot achievements work properly though outside of being the proper class.

Either way, the randomizer is a lot of fun and we enjoy it on buttpirates when needing a change

Blood-Wiper

It does?

KOKORONOKAWARI

Oh and I forgot that if you kill yourself you get the same weapon set from before

Thanks for the report. It has to do with the way the devs implemented the achievements. They don't really take your weapon into account when deciding some of the achievements, only that you are a particular class and killed x number of people with a special. I encountered this on my first night of testing the plugin. I haven't found a right way to correct this or prevent those achievements from occurring.

I really appreciate the feedback! I have a lot of fun playing it myself.

I did that on purpose to prevent people from suiciding until they got a loadout that they liked. If you guys would like a way to turn that off, I'd be happy to add it.

Oh yeah, late mentioning this but when I do blotoutthesun for parrot, it doesn't give parrot if you get a throwing axe ranged weapon =x

Thanks for the report!

This seems to have been quiet for quite a while. I can't help but wonder: is there still a server running this somewhere?

Joshikumako

does this still work?

Lt.Hargrove

Nope, I didn't saw the serwer with it in some time. I think it is gone.

Tschoppo

i for sure was in a server with this in 2.3

MadKat

I have not updated the plugin for the latest version of PVK II. It really was most fun in the hg game mode which no longer exists. Same thing that got me to stop playing.

I'm still keeping an eye on the news page every now and then. Maybe when the new classes get introduced then I'll look back into the game and writing plugins.

In the mean time, Minecraft modding!

Joshikumako

How was Holy grail fun, please tell me how you find running after a skimisher fun. I really loved your plug in, its all that was on my server

SlamminButtPirates ran this (via admin vote) before it's hiatus even after the update. It'll surely return soon as the server reobtains all it's goodies

Joshikumako

It works on my server currently... just none of the voices work... cant somone fix it?
