Steam Update

[PabloP]

After updating, we no longer receive knives on spawn, just the gun. !?!??!?! No clue, I'm running SM but i have SM servers where everything works fine, just the GG server is borked


same problem on my windows and linux svr

[PabloP]

Also, wins dont end the map, or anything\

correction, it plays the music, just doesnt stop people or end the map, everyone just keeps playing, nextmap is set and everything.

Hi,

Same problem here, after update steam.

I have the same problem as you guys described as well.......on one of my GG5.1 servers they don't have a knife and you can never win and switch the map to another map. It just keeps playing the music and the winner display shows up every single time someone wins over and over and over....

on our other GG5.1 you can see the knives and knife someone but you can never win the game it keeps doing the same thing as I just described our other GG server does.....

same problem here. Knife on initial map entry, then after death and respawn, my knife is gone.

I looked in my console.log file and the only thing there I don't remember seeing before is this:
Removed game_player_equip(game_player_equip)

Other than that there are no errors in any logs including excepthook.

Ya gotta hand it to Steam - they have almost completely killed CSS.
All this so the MacTards can play.

Thanks for all you GG Developers do to keep us going!

My server is having the same issues.

I'm going to assume that it has something to do with the game_player_equip entity. I am working on downloading updates for the game to look into it, although I can't guarantee anything.

[Nightmare-DK]

Aww okay, I X my fingers that you can find a solution gungame would not be the same, without knife =)

I noticed the same thing when we updated our servers today (4 gungame servers). I wrote a little mod to give players knife and assaultsuit at round start and thought that would fix it.. little did I know that games couldn't even be won. Then I tried buylevel and I was given the message "cannot buy level until game starts!"

So basically, it doesn't see that there is a game currently in progress (on top of the player equip issue), which would explain the buylevel problem and the endgame problem.

I'm having the knife issue, but wrote a Sourcemod script that autoequips users on spawn (we use GG:Elimination). However, I am able to win games on knife level. The only difference is that the knife kill that wins the game does not actually end the round and change the level. The level will not change until all of the players on one team are killed. Then things proceed as normal. Hope that helps. Linux server.

Is it possible to share the plugin, so people like me "I dont understand how to make scripts" can have knife ingame again

sorry my english is not the best.

Just a help until the problem maybe can be fixed

[XE_ManUp]

Thanks for the info, everyone. I am correct on it being an issue with the game_player_equip entity. It seems that we are going to have to come up with an alternate means of equipping the players with knives, kevlar, and assault suits.

Note to other devs: when game_player_equip (aka player_equip()) is fired, it causes no armor/knife. When commented out, player's have knives. The downside is that now, we may have to strip players individually instead of using game_player_equip to handle the basic rules for the group.

[NegativeTen]

Sure, just unzip this file into your addons director, and then add the following line to your server config or autoexec (or do it manually via RCON)

es_load cmg_gg_hotfix

Link to download
This will take care of knife/armor issue.. doesn't solve the problem of winning the game, though.

[edit]
@XE_ManUp: Is this also the root cause of not "starting" the game, or not ending it, whichever is the case?

[Nightmare-DK]

Okay, thanks for a temporary solution to some of the problem:)

Can you type in here XE_ManUp when an update is ready?

[2frag4fun]

I am also hopin for a fix a rolled back to sm gg but much perfer the eventscripts one

[PabloP]

yeah i had a give knife thing going until i realized wins didnt work, switched to sm gg, and ive been getting reports of how [CENSORED] up our game is. lol thats with sm gg functioning perfectly ;]

[lqhnybear]

Is there a way to write an ES that will slay everyone upon some one winning the game?

Is there something you can tie win to and have es fire slay all? Just as a temp fix.

you know like

Expand/Contract | Select All

if gg_playwinnersong
then slay all

and obviously I have no idea how to write and eventscript, it's just a thought for some one to run with.
