VIP Mod

We're working on fixes/changes to the plugin and having informal beta's when it's time to test things. If you're interested in joining the beta test server and helping us fine tune the plugin check out the VIP Mod beta testers thread at PAF.

VIP Mod plugin

(requires Metamod:Source)

VIP Mod enables the assassination style game play from Counter-Strike in the Counter-Strike:Source environment.

To download VIP Mod or for more info on using the plugin:

Players (what VIP Mod does)
Server Admins (installing VIP Mod on a server)
Mappers (creating "as_" maps for VIP Mod)

Please sign up for the VIP Mod mailing list. You will only receive email when the VIP Mod plugin is updated or a Valve update requires an plugin fix. (Historically, most updates haven't required a fix, except for Valve's July model changes.)

Had a few people from the IRC channel help me do some more tests on the VIP plugin last night. Not one bug report resulted from last nights test! I believe the plugin is ready for the beta test of as_oilrig_dj on Friday.

Here are the changes/fixes since the public beta:

00.98.2 (Private Beta)

- Added give 3 kills for escaping or for killing the VIP (similar to bomb maps)

- Added cvar to allow no AWP servers to specify the scout as the T sniper weapon

- Fixed bug where buy restrictions sometimes stayed on for non as_ maps

- Fixed to not allow VIP to pick up grenades

- Rewrote VIP weapon code so VIP doesn't pick up and drop every weapon he touches

- Fixed team score sometimes not resetting for new map - Rewrote VIP pistol/armor code for round start

- Added server cvar vip_dropweapons

0.98 (Private Beta)

- Changed VIP to 150HP/125AP (test results)

- Fixed bug where VIP could sometimes pick up weapons

- Fixed bug where VIP escape zone sometimes didn't work

- Fixed armor remaining at 125 after being VIP

- Rewrote end round functions so sv_cheats is no longer required

0.97 (Private Beta)

- Changed VIP model to Small Sumo's new VIP model

- Adjusted VIP health and armor based on comparisons with CS:CZ

- Added weapons buying restrictions by team (including sound)

- Changed VIP ammo to 12/12

- Fixed auto-switch to primary weapon on round start

- Changed so weapons picked up by VIP are dropped instead of removed

August 19, 2005

Had a few bugs with the beta, but got most of them fixed for a little private beta tonight. We played on as_test and as_italy with 4v4 and it went pretty well. Also did some tests on the VIP health/armor to better match the CS game play.

August 18, 2005

Small Sumo has finished the VIP model. This model won't make it into the plugin in time for the beta test tonight, but will be in the final release.

August 17, 2005

The info on tomorrow's play test has been posted. If you play, please post bugs/comments/suggestions/questions in this thread afterward.

August 16, 2005

PAF is hosting a private beta test of the VIP Mod using as_italy on Thursday, August 18, 2005. The VIP Mod currently uses Breen as the VIP model, but we're working on getting a new model ready. Also, SoopaFlyYT is going to be putting together a whole as_ map pack.

August 13, 2005

Added the VIP mod documentation (see the links above). VIP mod is currently in the private beta stage, but will be released as soon as as_oilrig_dj is completed.

DJBourgeoisie, creator of excellent maps like xcom and courthouse and lead mapper for the D.E.A.D. mod, is currently working on as_oilrig_dj.
