Ah blast it all,I need dash codes for it to work.

Wow good job!

I was able to get the PC version to run on my linux server. So far the only error is this(from terminal):

Loading compiled script game/server/scripts/observer script.cs.

Compiling game/server/scripts/observer script prefs.cs...

Loading compiled script game/server/scripts/observer script prefs.cs.

Game/server/scripts/observer script.cs (139): Unable to find object: 'moveMap' attempting to call function 'bind'

So I thinks thats why my Alt + O doesn't work but I can still do the {observer and that works just fine. I Probably forgot a step somewhere, I'm good at that :o Good Job Art Crazy and all!!!

NUTS!

Cool!! It's been a long time since I've had a chance to work on my observer script. Glad someone else has put one together. I wasn't sure when or if I would ever get back to working on mine. Well done!

One thing, will the script work with slugthog's version of admin tools or does it have to be dash's?

@Chilled Lizard
Did you use the version I gave u? As it was a different one! OLD one actually
U didnt help me AT ALL with this script (just by mac converting lol)

@Nuts
That error is normal -- dont work it will wokr as allways -- some movemap bug -- BLAME BT

@MonkeeMan
lol thx I thought u might get angry from us taking your "first release"
Hmm does Slugtough's admin script use the dash script basis? If yes -- AS LONG as the main function (the one that lists all codes) is named codeAction and the function ClientIsAdmin exists -- it should work --
it checks for the admin pass if it's in the chat message -- like dash's script -- so if you're not using the pref "$Pref::Server::AdminPassword" for the pass it wont work
U can allways try -- if it doesnt I might get a "special version" working for you -- had to do the same to port the script over to dash's admin script -- mine is MUCH different (some things like the ClientIsAdmin function are changed so that version doesnt work on my PC)

@All
Thx for the support
U know this phrase dont you? "If you find a bug let me know!"

{observer works for me too. Does alt+o and {observer do the same thing. Can you fight while observing, like diferent camera angles? Or is there a camera angle script?ck

While you're observing you can only move arround and see other ppl -- no fighting
I'm making a script update soon -- a little bug was found -- I just need someone I CAN TRUST to do Mac conversion..
So maybe there won't be one..

Good job ScriptLine, in spite of recent problems...
heh heh heh...
~¥~DJ Wings~¥~

Hey Art Crazy, you can trust me, I have a mac, I can do mac conversions! I just need to know how! :)

@DJ
Yes I had my post edited for a while -- Chilled Lizard removed the windows version

@Bot Bait
Nope I can't trust you
Mac conversions normally just need a new.dso from the.cs -- different machine code u know
Some times the same.dso works tough

Yeah, minor setback for people who have Windows like me, but I'll switch to Linux very soon, just wait...
iViva la Open Source!

@^,

Penguin Power!!!!!

So new update here!
I fixed a little annoying bug -- I still havent tested it on Mac NOR Linux
I need someone using one of them to test...

'Nuff said.

STOP POSTING USELESSS THINGS ON MY THREAD! WAT DOES THAT "THING" HAVE TO DO WITH THE OBSERVER SCRIPT?

Admins plz edit/remove that silly post

Lol, but I like penguins with guns!
Feel free to delete this one, too.

@Art
got V1.2 going linux no problems so far. In fact the Ctrl + O works now. Thanks

NUTS!

Yes I changed it now it just uses control + o...
lets hope it works on Mac! SOMEBODY PLZ!!!

Hmmm dont work for me... I have dashes new script and everything else is where it needs to be... No observer script working here

Goth did u follow the instruction step by step AND were using an working main.cs?

Art Crazy you're forgetting DEMO ben!

And besides, this observer script will be downloadable on my website.

I use Windows though, so I can't do conversions!

Leeds you don't have to be so direct, you could at least say if you allow me I'll put it on my site or something like that, but as least as u just link to SL's page, I don't mind!
NO DIRECT DOWNLOAD PLEASE!
Just Link to http://www.freewebs.com/scriptline/SLObserver.html

Art ,
I have everything installed with dashes new admin, and everything works except I am the only one that can observe, and only with control o. {observe does nothing. {mkobserver name does nothing. And the only error I had was stated above by Nuts cant find object movemap. Any Idea what I should look for??
Thanks

Frank.

Did you add the exec("game/server/scripts/observer script.cs"); exec BEFORE the one for dash's admin script?
That's the most common cause to that problem -- if you did put it after

No Art this is how I have it.

// ModWizard
exec("game/server/scripts/ModWizardMain.cs");
if (!$Server::Dedicated) {
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "m", "", "exec("game/client/scripts/ModWizardBindings.cs");");

Exec("game/server/dash/main.cs");
}
exec("game/server/scripts/observer script.cs");
exec("game/server/Message.cs");

Thanks for quick response
CrapBlaster
Frank

Seem to be having soem problems.
Followed step by step. Rechcked and rechecked.
But, if this helps... The "Map created by" comes up everytime.

The only conclusion I could come up with was that I noticed the dash folder/files are located in: thinkthanks/game/server/dash, and that all the files regarding the observing script are located in the thinktanks/game/server/SCRIPTS
Is that right?

Any sugestions?

This looks awesome
I can see many advantages for the leagues
i.e. Mentoring sessions, scrimmage captains chairs and gladiator arenas
I will install tonite after work and let u know my findings
Thanks for sharing Art ;)

@CrapBlaster
Try this:

Remember ALL LOWERCASE

@Hood Rich
That won't matter.. Are you sure u also put exec("game/server/scripts/observer script.cs"); in main.cs?
As it seems you copied the lines correctly to the special.cs, but didnt add that line to the main.cs

@Rooster
Thanks, but if you would like it, a better thing for leagues where the hoster doesnt compete -- A list remover! You just have to start observing, press "ctrl + r" and you're not on the list
To get back on it just press "ctrl + a" and you're back in it -- ADMIN ONLY
You can also play without being on the player list, but you can't start observing while doing that, cos it will mess this script up, so to start observing, you have to be in the list lol
I'm preparing some things for the release

@All
Thanks for the feedback
Hope you continue with it

New update, fixed a bug and added author fetch from the mission file -- see changelog in first post for more information
Ppl using older versions just have to replace the files, and set their preferences again..

Last edited: Friday, January 14, 2005 at 1:53:24 PM

Thanks Art that did the trick.
Great work. Now to put our names flying around the sky so the players can see us. I might use the name GOD then. LoL
Later,
CrapBlaster

That would be hard.. I needed TT's C code plus some guis...
Lol remember to install the new version! U'll just have to replace the current files and edit your preferences again if you allready installed v1.2

Last edited: Friday, January 14, 2005 at 1:58:49 PM

It's working.

I had to edit the exec. Line off your website.
Which looks like this: exec("~ /server/scripts/observer script.cs");

Then I noticed the exec line you posted here in this forum for me which looked like this (the one that made it work): ("game/server/scripts/observer script.cs");

Which doesnt contain all of the same characters as the one you posted on your website.
And yet, thats the one that triggered the script. ? ? ?

IT means you had some problem with the one on the site, that is more compatible with ppl using different operating systems than windows.. But normally that one works -- they should be the same tough

Shouldn't there be no space between observer and script? Shouldn't it be ("game/server/scripts/observerscript.cs"); ?

Lol check the file name -- it has a space! Lol

Does Observer Revolution only work offline cuse thats all ive got it to work on. If thats all it does it would be great if it work online. Any helpful comments welcome.

I got it to work online but only because I took out the ~/ in the main.cs exec line I dont think it will help but thats what I did (just got it working its awsome!)

Thanks I got it to work.

OH and it only works on servers that have it!

Hi, My TT name is T-Bone and I have a problem when I instaled your observation scripe. I thought I did everything the way your instructions said and now I can not launch Think Tanks. Is there a check I can do or do I have to blow thinks tanks out and reinstal it. Thank you for your time. T-Bone

Art, I was wondering if there was any way to set the height of the camera (verticle height) with another key or with the forward back movement with the mouse. Would the scroll wheel on a mouse work for verticle height.

TY, BTW: Awsome job.
Napalm

@Nap
Source needed...

@All
Thx for the support guys
I'm working on a {follow command
If it works it'll be available in like 2/3 days after BETA testing

Art Crazy

Is that a follow the scrum command?

Very nice. You could like change the position as if the scrum was the central point of angle. Like water skiing behind the scrum?

I like it!

Napalm

No its like {follow name will make u like driving the other person's tank -- you just cant drive it but ur following it

Hey Art Crazy can ya bring the script here? Bceuase my security setting will not allow me to download the material off of your site. :[

Thanks! :)

Right click on the link + save as

ZeBoLoBot, download HERE . It's not hosted by FreeWebs, as IE puts FreeWebs.com on a list of porn sites... X/

Thanks Chill! %)

I will download the material when I get home! Cya! XD

@ Art

I like how it grabs the mod authors name. Is it possible to have it grap the map name too? Something like this " Map made by dash-D5:Warpig"

NUTS!

Yes it's possible thx for the sugestion working on it -- it will only be released tough when Monkeeman comes online on yahoo messenger so we can discuss making our scripts compatible

I'm thinking of making a pref of the message and just not an author pref and you can use "%1" for the author and "%2" for the map name
