View Full Version : Checkpoint plugin - Now on TBL Fun

I've installed a checkpoint plugin for the Fun server. As people have requested it. For now we will trial it and see how well it works.

The plugin allows you to save where your current position is on a map. This can be useful for climb maps, where if you fall down you can teleport back to your last saved position.


saveme - save current position
posme - teleport to saved position (see 'Teleport allowing')
destuckme - shift up the position (Z-axis) (useful when stuck)
saveme2 - save current position (2nd)
posme2 - teleport to 2nd saved position (see 'Teleport allowing')
poshelp - display a little reminder


These are all 'say' commands. They are not console commands.

Warning:

Abuse it and loose it!

Well yeah it does, but there's a simple solution for that. Don't use it :)

yeah but its really annoying when you get fairly high, then slip up and end down at the bottom and have to *try* and get there again !

Well that took all of about 20mins to start happening, as i started to try and record demo's of people 'seriously' abuse it, i will not say how all i will say is that they were using it on maps that did not need check save and load


but is there any way of cusrtomising it and telling it what maps to alow people to use it and on others not allow use of it SK?

hi all


made my way into the forums :)

as for the porter thing, as a conc newbie it's handy for me in some conc maps where jumps have different parts(and yep i know it's cheating) but ill never abuse it :p

i think it is a great idea, espeically on those dreaded barrel jump bits which i always get stuck on.

yer, i think some of the loop holes hav been closed now, but the limit to only 3 unstucks from 1 location is a little unfair i think as i was jusing it on the MArio Land map on the moving blocks, and i found i would end up killing me self and then time the blocks right so i coulkd get bak to where i was to then go bak to the start of that section to carry on as it would stick you if you landed on the blocks properly

It is very easily abused. If it stays we'll see many abusers of it. But it is VERY useful for climb maps. Im able to finish them now.

Until today you couldn't disable the plugin automatically on certain maps. I've managed to find a way though so hopefully it will be turned off on some maps and not others.

My checkpoint plugin is probably better :D ?

-Can Save and Load checkpoints
-Whenever someone types stuck in a sentance they get unstuck
-Reads from a txt, which you list the maps you want checkpoints to be automatically enabled
-Keeps track of how many checkpoints you have used
-Can define the delay between checkpoints which is saved between maps
-Checkpoint help
-Option to enable/disable checkpoints manually if needed
-Sonic Sounds :D?
-Tells players every so often that the <currentmap> supports checkpoints

Its not pulic atm, tis only on FM, but if you want it i can let you know when i release it D:?
