Respawning Broken By the Valve Update? See here!

[XE_ManUp]

For those of you that were using ES_Tools or GunGame Utils for respawning (or any other respawning command that was broken by the August 25, 2009 update, for that matter) here is a solution that you can use.

Source Python Extensions written by your-name-here is a plugin that allows access to sigscanning which is required for respawning players. It has since been updated with the signature for respawning players, which Valve broke in the last update. I would go into more detail, but I will give you the link if you are interested in scripting with SPE: http://forums.eventscripts.com/viewtopi ... 624#269624

For those of you that simply need a replacement for your existing respawn commands, I have uploaded an attachment. This attachment is to be installed in:

Expand/Contract | Select All

../<MOD>/addons/

...where "<MOD>" is likely to be "cstrike".

Then, you need to add the following line to your autoexec.cfg ABOVE es_load gungame:

Expand/Contract | Select All

...
es_load gg_spawn
es_load gungame
...

The command name is "gg_spawn", which is the same as GunGame Utils. If you have GunGame Utils installed on your server, since it is broken, I recommend you remove it until the author has had a chance to update it. In the meantime, this is a viable solution. Therefore, you need to change the variable gg_respawn_cmd to "gg_spawn" if it is anything other than that (located in the cfg/gungame/gg_en_config.cfg).

The package attached is Source Python Extensions 1.5.0a and a custom python script (written to be used with EventScripts) called "gg_spawn".

Fixed and re-uploaded. Please download again. Sorry about that.

[XE_ManUp]

Fixed for a third (and hopefully FINAL) time. I wasn't aware that you had to type cast userids as an integer.

This seems to stop working randomly. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

[crazydrummer7]

Everything has been working 100% fine since that update. I am getting error messages when the bots are on nade and when the warmup timer ends. But it doesn't affect gameplay.

I have been having the same problem with my GG5 DM server after the valve update.
I have done:
1. Installed the spe_package.zip
2. “Changed gg_respawn_cmd est_spawn” to “gg_respawn_cmd gg_spawn” in my gg_en_config.cfg
3. Added es_load gg_spawn to my server.cfg above es_load gungame
I was not been able to find my server autoexec.cfg so I could add the es_load gg_spawn command.
As stated aboveI put the command at the end of my server.cfg as that was where my es_load gungame command was.
I have run the server and respawn is not working at all now.
Should this be working? What have I missed? Do I need to create a autoexec.cfg?

Any help would be soooo much appreciated.

Below are the erroes that I am having, Is this the same thing as you guys (the valve update)

[darkdata]

I get same errors as Brock lee any help be great

[satoon101]

That error has existed for a while, long before the Valve update. It doesn't really affect anything though, so if you are having issues with GunGame, it would be better to describe the issues.

Hey darkdata.

I have managed to fix all my problems,
Now if you were having the same problem as me I may be able to offer a solution. I can’t explain why but, someone else may be able to do that.
Well my server was crashing on gg_shotty and some other maps, as this is one of my most popular maps I didn’t want to delete it, so I put some time in to finding what was causing the crashes, with no knowledge of scripting I started very simple.
The server was only crashing when there was bots in the map and more precisely when a bot got to nade level.
I found that when I had a normal weapon order this didn’t happen, I tracked it down even further and found my server has an issue with the transition from glock to nade as I am running in rev weapon order. If I replaced glock with any other gun I would run fine with no crashes.
As I said why this happens I don’t know and it may well be different to your issues, but if it is I hope this helps you. Get rid of glock, I hate it anyway.
If anyone else can enlighten me to why this happens I would love to know.
Somehow before the update I didn’t have a problem, the funny thing is that now I have removed glock I no longer need to run GG_spawn anymore, just the est_spawn.

Can you describe any conditions that are present when this happens?

I've been investigating this a little bit further and found that It doesn't stop spawning completely. The server has 24 slots, if you are the 24th person to connect, you WILL NOT spawn until you close counter-strike and exit steam. I wonder if this is related to valve's recent update or if it's SPE causing it.

Not SPE.

[ravenblades1670]

did it just as told and nothing seems to work. Only difference is instead of the respawning in 1sec thing staying there, it goes away, but you still don't actually respawn.
