UPDATE: Over the Month

Archivolt — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:56:45 +0000

Over the month, I’ve been busy with headcrab hunter 3.

It seems that an ESTools error I wasn’t aware of slowed development down where it shouldn’t have. With the August update for Counter-Strike: Source, the re-spawning capability of ESTools broke. It seems a fix had been made, (which I will upload to the website the fixed estools), and now I can stop pulling my hair out and roll over why re-spawning isn’t working!

This post was to make sure you all didn’t think the project died!

Development: 3rd Person “Problems”

In my previous post I got everything working fine. I thought.

Seems that when you switch back out of third person view, your v_ model for your weapon isn’t re-drawn. Seems I have to work out that bug.

Third person view is toggled by a chat command and console command.

Development: 3rd Person

I finally got the 3rd person view to work correctly. Before it would just move your player around without the “moving legs” animation. Now it does!

Look at this screenie: (And click on it!)

Development: HurtPulse

This is my second script in ES 2.0 and I have uploaded it to the downloads page.

HurtPulse is a simple script. When you get hurt, the whole screen flashes red. Intensity is based on amount of HP left. You may be thinking doesn’t any FPS game have this lol? Actually, Counter-Strike: Source doesn’t! It only shows a directional red indicator.

Also, it’s posted on the official eventscripts addons site. Click here to see that page!

This script will also be integrated into Headcrab Hunter 3.

Development: Classmenu

I’ve had the classmenu done and converted into ES 2.0 for a week or two and have uploaded it to the downloads page.

Their are much more classes in this menu than in the previous Headcrab Hunter 2. I also think it is much more balanced, but only real public testing can show that.

Web Interface.

I’ve taken the time to learn PHP for various projects, including Headcrab Hunter.

A possible chance of a web interface is at hand. It would monitor statistical stuff much like HLStatsX, ,but without perl.

It is an interesting idea and may be implemented in the future.
