To install put the "camswitcher.cs" file in the game/server/scripts folder. Then you need to execute this in the main.cs by adding this line to the end of your main.cs file:
exec("game/server/scripts/camswitcher.cs");}

Why do you still have "PTT Search" here? You just go to the forum index and you'll see a much better search (google)!


Friday, August 04, 2006 at 7:35:54 AM

Zoom radar link doesn't work. Anyone got an alternative link?

Oh, and you can take my site off the list. It's been idle for about a year, and considering I don't MOD anymore I don't think it needs to be up there anymore.

You are all discussing things. Btw, just 1 last thing before I go, thanks WARFARE for restoring the correct link to my website. The other dude (can't remember his name) always kept it to my tutorials homepage. Though I reckon you should make an edit to my website 'caption' shall we say. Currently it says:

 

 

All kind of info here:

Please could you change it to
