i'm gonna add more things to the configuration of the script, so it will be more versitile
add better information about who is the VIP (VIP color and text messages)
i'm gonna remove the VIP model and a few things which is if no use for our servers.

daze, thanks for reminding me of this bug, i'll get to work on it now :)

a skin for the vip would be cool (like on zombiemod, when you spawn as zombie you get new skin)

Its a hostie skin, but i'm assuming it can be converted over to player skin?

I would love to see a function where you can say something like "!first" and have a greater chance of becoming the VIP..

Also make sure that in the beginning of each round there is "no vip".. In the current version the first zombie can kill the VIP from the last round and end the round if not a new VIP has been chosen yet..

i think i can make the VIP spawn like 10 sec after round start?

edit: jaffa, i think i need it as a .mdl

yeah, the syntax is corect but it doesnt fire, i found the error yesterday only to find out it doesnt set the VIPs settings... so now, since i apperantly is the only one in SG who knows ESS, i've translated most of the code to ESPy and hope either astrum or mnote will have some spare time to help me fix it

when its ready for public betatest, we should hopefully get all bugs/glitch detected. personaly i would like to fix all glitches, so i might/might not do a poll for 1 or sometimes 2 VIPs

Nice i really like the VIP mod, Cant wait until you release it! a cool feature the new mod can have is like the VIP can have a special radio command, Like for example "I'm the VIP Plz Move" or like "Plz hurry, the VIP is in danger" some people don't notice the vip is behind them and blocks them, or like makes them wait to jump/climp/etc, ....idk just a thought hehe, Good luck with it!

@ carlos, i think that would require a good load of work to do that...


i got one last problem: when i set the model of the vip, ingame its just a ERROR model. i know haggard and tcp where having this problem earlier today

is it possible to set noblock for just the vip? cause that would be crucial.

NOOOOOO PLEASE CONTINUE PRODUCTION IF YOU CAN: if you decide to keep working on it, try to make it so that like cake said that only vip has no collide with other player and if possible that the zombies dont become vip which has happened numerious times before xD
