COD2 MP: adding killing spree messages

[michelboonstra74]

I'd like to add killing spree messages to all my COD2 MP players. I have found this bit of script online, but if I add it to my maps\mp\gametypes\teams.gsc
it does not work (nor do I get an error). I guess this script may not be complete and/or the 'killspree' needs to be initialized before this bit? Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

		    if( isplayer(attacker) && isAlive(attacker))
    {
        
        if ( (attacker != self) && (getcvar("g_gametype") != "dm") && (attacker.team != self.team) )
        {
            attacker.killspree++;
        }
        if ( (attacker != self) && (getcvar("g_gametype") == "dm")  )
        {
            attacker.killspree++;
        }
    
        rn = randomint(16);
    
        if(attacker != self && isDefined(attacker.team) && isDefined(self.team) && attacker.team != self.team )
        {
            if (attacker.killspree == 2 || attacker.killspree == 3)
            {
                if(attacker.killspree == 3)
                    iprintln(attacker.name + &"^7is on a roll with ^1" + attacker.killspree + &"^7 kills!");
                rn = randomint(10);
            }
            if (attacker.killspree == 4 || attacker.killspree == 5)
            {
                if(attacker.killspree == 5)
                    iprintln(attacker.name + " ^7is on a killing spree with ^1" + attacker.killspree + " ^7 kills!");
                rn = randomint(8);
            }
            if (attacker.killspree > 5 && attacker.killspree < 10)
            {    
                if(attacker.killspree == 10)
                    iprintln(attacker.name + " ^7is on fire with ^1" + attacker.killspree + " ^7 kills!");
                rn = randomint(5);
            }
            if (attacker.killspree >= 10)
            {    
                if(attacker.killspree == 15)
                    iprintln(attacker.name + " ^7is unstoppable with ^1" + attacker.killspree + "^7 kills!");
                if(attacker.killspree == 20)
                    iprintln(attacker.name + " ^7is dominating with ^1" + attacker.killspree + "^7 kills!");
                rn = randomint(5);
            }    
        }
    }

Be more specific how you add it to teams.gsc.

[michelboonstra74]

I'm sorry, I meant dm.gsc, not teams.gsc.
In there I placed it under:
Callback_PlayerDamage(eInflictor, eAttacker, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, psOffsetTime)

Why is the Killing spree sound in playerDAMAGE and not in playerKILLED?

Also, be more specific about how you added them. You cannot just throw them randomly in and expect them to work.

Also, be more specific about your test setup. Developer mode enabled? Soundalias correct? Sound files loaded? Any errors in client console regarding sounds, especially when they're supposed to be playing? Any debug iprints you put in that get triggered (or not, that's also information), any info on whether or not the dm.gsc you're referring to is actually being executed or if a stock one is loaded instead?

Thanks for the reply. Clearly I have little knowledge of scripting.. I have placed the killing spree script in playerKilled - but with no effect, or error in the log file so far.
( Dev mode = CoD2MP_s.exe +set thereisacow 1337 +set developer 1 +set logfile 1 +set g_log server_mp.log )
The modified dm.gsc is being executed instead of the stock version for sure. And as far as I can tell, the script doesn't need sound files.

In the mean time I found out that the killing spree script was part of the Merciless Mod 2, so I will have a look at that and try to figure out if I can get the killing spree bit to run in my personal mod.
If so, I'll post it in this thread.

I still have no information about where exactly you put this script. Post the entire callback_playerkilled.
