• Vs Saxton Hale mode
• VSH/FF2 Steam group
• Thanks list

In a few words:

Have you heard about Vs Saxton Hale Mode? I think all of us have.
Freak Fortress 2 is just the same 1 vs all mod, but with different Bosses, and it is also highly customizeable.
The main feature is that you can create your own bosses without editing the source code itself. It can do anyone without SourcePawn knowledge.


Main server: 217.199.218.183:27020

Requirements:

• SDK Hooks
• TF2 Items

Installation:

• Installrefresh all needed extensions... Do it again...NOW
• Remove plugin file of VS Saxton Hale Mode if it's installed (tfaddonssourcemodpluginssaxtonhale.smx).
• Install freak_fortress_2.zip
• If your server use FastDl make sure you have uploaded .bz2 files on your FastDl server.

Tips:

• Maps to run: practically every arena and koth map is fine to run, but I do not recommend to run it on such maps as arena_granary, cause there are high points at the boxes on the control point, which are difficult for Boss to get.
• There are also some vsh_ maps with random respawn points. Check this post and GameBanana section.
  
  • On vsh_ maps boss can play only in BLU team, but on all other maps team is chosen randomly.
• The plugin doesn't include class restrictions, but it's recommended to limit Engineers, Spies and Pyros to 3. You can use this DJ Tsunami's Class Restrictions to do so.
• 24-25 slots are recommended.

Cvars:

You can find all the cvars in the tf/cfg/sourcemod/FreakFortress2.cfg

Also, if you print "all" to the file, then all maps will be with this gamemode.

FAQ:

Q: Is this plugin better than VSH?
A: It's customizable.

Q: Why convars is not changing?
A: Check and edit tf/cfg/sourcemod/FreakFortress2.cfg

Q: What's "bNextMapToFF2" file?
A: If this file exists in tf folder, then VSH will began. It may be used in your own plugin. For example, I'm using it to switch VSH with FF2: if file exists, then VSH will started, else FF2 will.

Q: There is some problems with doors, can it be fixed?
A: Create configs/freak_fortress_2/doors.cfg and add all needed maps to force opening the door (or "all" for all maps, which is not recommended)

Q: How to make koth_ maps work with this mod?
A: http://forums.allied....postcount=2527

Q: I saw cp_, zf_, etc maps running VSH/FF2. How can I do it?
A: http://forums.allied....postcount=2527 but don't forget: some maps has team_round_timer entity.

"setup_length" "10"
"timer_length" "9000"
}
}
add:
{
"classname" "tf_logic_arena"
}

Q: I can't see Bosses, but I see giant ERROR.
A:
a)Server uses sv_pure 2 or 1 without correct whitelist.

b2)Server doesn't use sv_downloadurl, but has bz2-files on server itself.
c)Client set "do not download any custom files".

Q: I have a character suggestion.
A: Of course! But... do you really can not MAKE him? You probably have not seen the second post yet.

Sometimes, the crash is caused because Valve changes the way GiveNamedItem works, in which case not only the Gamedata for TF2Items has to be updated, but also the ext itself. Q: Can you help me about something in PM?
A: video-answer

Q: How do queue points work.
A: For each played round, players gets 10 queue points. Guy(s), who has most points, will be the next Boss, and his points will be set to 0.

Extra plugins to improve the gameplay:

• Goomba Stomp (and little fix).
  
  • You must set convar goomba_dmg_add to 1500
  • You must set convar goomba_dmg_lifemultiplier to 0.
• Amplifier and Taunt Crits For more teamwork, or if Boss has so much HP.
• TF2 Real Thirdperson
• My Little Dispenser (ponyspenser) for lulz.
• Coming (not) Soon: Plugin with tf_logic_vsh and other vshff2-related entities. For mappers. I have no idea when it will be completed.

Natives:
[FF2] Freak Fortress 2 has very much natives and forwards for customisation and your linked plugins.
Also FF2 supports VSH natives, so, you don't should remake your plugin for FF2, if it's works with VSH.
Please use FF2_GetBossIndex(client)!=-1 and do NOT use FF2_GetBossTeam()==BossTeam, cause Seeldier can throw non-Boss players into his team.
Natives is in tfaddonssourcemodscriptinginclude freak_fortress_2.inc
[VSH] Natives can be used for your plugin to make links to VSH, for example: get Hale's UserId, Health, MaxHealth, Team, Special round index etc.

Customisation:
Customisation is a major objective for FF2.
All Boss' stats placed in config files (addonssourcemodconfigsfreak_fortress_2).
All Boss' abilities placed in sub-plugins (addonssourcemodpluginsfreaks).
You don't need edit Freak Fortress 2 plugin to make your own Boss and abilities for Boss.
