[JB]Ghost plugin discussion
« on: September 26, 2015, 10:56:08 pm »
Hello there guys,
I want to know the opinions of you all about adding the ghost plugin to the server. Now  i am going to talk about it so you will know what it does:
 Ghost: When you die, it is really boring  because you have to wait until the round is over and more times than we would like it extends a lot so i was thinking about doing a ghost. You can choose between be or not a  ghost and what does it do? Basically you can  go all around the map between with/without noclip and you are invisible so you can go around the map to explore it so it wont be so boring. The ghost doesnt make damage and cannot annoy anyone by getting near of them. I see it a nice iniciative and it is not really difficult to do and also can give the terrorists/CTs the time to not get bored by the death.

I'll be waiting for your opinions to know if it can be viable or not, thanks for reading!
EDIT, P.D:  I saw an old topic where i talked about this and i remembered this ghost plugin, so i suggest it again and see if it could be done nowadays  :)
           P.D (2): the link of the plugin: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1403008?p=1403008#post1403008

Problem is:

That tony's plugin is currently on the server, good luck adding new stuff in that salad :D

Not to mention the ghost plugin is unique to the nD community so nah.
I'd like to dedicate the additional time to add that cluttering the server with unnecessary plugins is pretty stupid, all what the ghost plugin gives you is the dead people to be visible(transparent) and just distract other people. I don't want to see 10 dead people making a scene when I'm dead.

If you got killed, it's surly and not most of the times the ct's fault for getting yourself killed. Either play jailbreak without rebelling or risk it all and in the next round start whining like a desperate housewife.

Maybe just for the sake of it, u got a link to the plugin itself? Before collecting all the opinions etc it is usefull to know if it is actually gonna work on the server.

Other then that, it is a decent idea to do but only if its not create any disturbance in the server for the people that are still alive.

It's impossible to add the plugin if you don't contact tony or someone who knows how to code.

I basically managed to fix the plugin partially in past when I was still HA and to make it work properly but the only problem is that ghosts are counted as alive players as well and so last request doesn't work since there is always more than 1 player alive.

Yep, what PL said, you gota think it twice before rebelling.
Furthermore I doubt server can handle any other plugins such as this one.
+more models to download
+I think it wont be easy to edit this plugin.

I don't think that you should consider ghost plugin useless.
Infact, it's a good way to keep players playing in the server for a longer time, resulting with a bigger player base hourly. Our only problem is adding it without bugging the plugin.
@ReFresh did you try the ghost thingy on spectators? Cuz i don't think that alive spectators usually disturb /lr for alive T's.

It only complicates things. It won't harm you to wait 3,4 minutes until everyone finishes.

Sometimes you wait, sometimes others wait for you.

The ghost plug-in is same as live spectator, so I personally do not approve it. However this topic is only a discussion as you mentioned, you can keep discussing and analyzing it. I just wanted to point out that there will not be any positive outcome for the ghost plug-in. :)

Cheers,

It's boring when you die?
Why don't you just alt-tab and go through 9Gag or watch some videos?
I do that,there's no need to take the difficulty of adding  dumb plugin for just one person who can't alt tab.

I have nothing against tony. Absolutely nothing on his products.

It's just clear as sky that his environment is incompatible with what you guys want and suggest.

do you mean that adding smth to Tony's plugin is way to hard . and that we need someone like RoN to do it for us ?
or just not possible and will ruin the sevrer with alot of bugs ?

Let's be short. :) I do not waste anyone's time.

Ghost plug-in will not be added, no matter if it is compatible with Tony's plugin or whatsoever.

Reason for it is that I personally think that the ghost plug-in will have a negative impact on the server.

Thank you for suggesting and discussing about it,
Popay
