A Thanks and a Couple of Questions
Hello,

First off, I'd like to thank you for making your content avaiable to the community. It's been a big help to me and I appreciate your generosity.

I admin a quiet little server for myself and a small group of friends. It's co-op with a 16 player theater. We've been using a version of Jared Ballou's respawn_plugin that we had made some small modifications to so that we could ensure there were enough bots to go around. We have a small issue with our plugin though in that bots will frequently spawn in our line of site, like right in front of us, or in a room we have just cleared. We've tried to correct the problem but haven't had much success.

In searching for a soulution, I came across your group and your respawn plugin. I figured it might be worth trying and I now have your plugin running on our server. Because, making use of the medic functionality in your plugin seemed a whole lot easier than trying to strip it out, I've made use of it to include a medic class on our server as well. I didn't want to "copy" the Sernix servers exactly though, so, rather than use your theater, I modified the 16 player theater we had been using. I did use your theater as an example to see how you did it and, I did "borrow" your "defibrillator".

Hopefully this is all okay. If it's not for some reason, please let me know and I'll revert my server or find another solution.

Providing we're okay so far, I do have a couple questions for you.

First, I would like to make sure I give proper credit. Is there any particular accreditation you would like? Should I credit the Sernix Insurgency Group as a whole or are there individuals I should credit?

Second, I'm having one small issue with my theater I'm hoping you can help me with. I can't seem to get the squad selection menu to display "Medic" rather than "#squad_fireteam_medic". Using your theaters as the example, it looks like I need to create and reference an _english.txt file. Where exactly do I put that file? I tried creating the file and putting it in a "resource" folder in the same directory as "scripts". Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work at all, so I'm not sure if I'm putting it in the wrong place or if I typoed something somewhere in one of the other files. If you could help me with the location of that file, that would be a big help and I should be able to go from there.

Thanks again for making your hard work available to the rest of us,
Bif

Hey, glad you're doing well with your server and never worry about burrowing or using anything of ours. The Insurgency community is based on everyone helping each other and its the only reason my servers/communities were established. I like to think of Jballou as one of the pioneers in this all haha. Without him, and those after him, lots of our content would not exist or be at the polished state it is now.

In terms of credits, you can credit the Sernix group(lots of great ideas, contributions, testing shaped our content), Jballou(a statue should be created), aus1271 (defibs), D.Freddie, all the weapon modders like Mr. Brightside etc. if you use any of his stuff. Naong also helped with improving and polishing the respawn script. Also mappers, you can usually search workshop though if someone asks.

In regards to resource file, you seem to have it in correct directory structure:

Insurgency\scripts\theaters >> for theater files
Insurgency\resource\resource_file.txt

In the sernix_base.theater you'll see this:

"precache"
{
"localize" "resource/gnalvlsrealism_english.txt"
}
This initializes that resource file, I believe you can place this in your top most level theater that you use mp_theater_override on but if not, create a base file similar to mine. Not sure if vanilla uses a base.theater file anymore.

If you want to work from vanilla files go to:
\Steam\steamapps\common\insurgency2\insurgency\insurgency_misc_dir.vpk

Install gcfscape and double click insurgency_misc_dir.vpk

in there go to scripts\theaters and youll see all vanillas and you can migrate them into your theater.


Let me know if you have any more issues and pass it on if you haven't already!
