<div class="IPBDescription">modns giving horrible errors :(</div> Hello boys and MonsE,

Just thought I'd ask if anyone would be prepared to code a metamod plugin that does admin_scorpian

It must be spelled wrong (as above) too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

like admin_llama, changes model to the scorpian (no animations, after all it must hovar without flapping) and makes the victim's speech only into various lines about hovaring and turrents.

I just feel we need some silliness to combat those people who really deserve it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Do you know the chicken mod? It's a mod for CS that allows you to turn the players into "llamaed" chickens (the model was taken from cs_italy so all CS players have the model)... I used it on listenserver... It was very fun.... when it worked :/

    I think that changing it to a scorpian would be easy (but you'd have to add something like scorpian.mdl to all .res files I suppose). It would be a bit harder if you'd like to change the behaviour of that thing.

    so you're saying even with a server hook, there's no way of "changing the models" or at least appearing to?

    What about when a rine gets HA? Can emulate this?

    I'm not bothered about getting different movement or activity (maybe make them unable to fire, but that's it, walking/running/jumping would be the same). After all they don't need a special hitbox, they're being punished!

    Firestorm's point is that for this to work, you would need to have a scorpion model already on the local PC. The reason CM works is because you are reusing the chicken. But you could reuse anything. Have a crate mod, or an AWP mod, where everyone is a rifle. You just need a way to have the model be available on the client PC already...

    You probably have seen some plugins that make you download some sounds before you enter the game. I'd use that stuff.

    Not when I have cl_allowdownload set to nada. The nice (?) thing about chicken mod is that there isn't much that user can do about it. I don't let some dippy server admin waste 20 minutes of my time with homer simpson wav's, and I know I am not alone...

    the simple solution would be a hidden scorpian.mdl with the next release, that way it's already on the clients computer, Making a metamod for this shouldn't be a problem

    it has my support!

    This is the "hovars without flapping scorpian" mod I made, its very very simple but it gets the job done. Some code is commented out but may be neat things to try.

    they pretty much fly and bounce around. Thats it. BUT THEY HOVAR WITHOUT FLAPPING!!!!


    This is source and model only, becuase I simply have no time right now to compile this and release/support it.

    (Btw, about model changing, its very possible and very easy in NS).

    For those who can't compile, I compiled voogru's thing for win32.

    EDIT: I haven't tested it in any way. I've just pressed F7 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This should be added to the list of required plugins for unofficial v1.05...

    The problem being that getting turned into a hovaring scorpian isn't a punishment its a gift, because they pwn j00 with their hovaring.

    Well if it's just a matter of including the files:


    the MDL link is above and the skins are <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=35810' target='_blank'>HERE</a>

    How about MonsE asking Flay to stick these (small!) files in the 1.1 release package, then those of us who can be arsed to include this on our servers can do so <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    scorpians don't flap, they flape. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    The guy who made that horrible suggestion must be famous.

    Anyway, i support this idea fully, if it can be done.

    There should also be a cheat that turns you into a scorpian, just for a lark.
