Im currently adding old maps to my server. Everything should work fine because of the new gargantua and bullsquid added to synergy, and I have ported models and textures to the mp5k and mg1 so that shouldent be a problem. The only problem I have is that players dont spawn with weapons. I am so-so with the edt system, read the tutorial, and have been trying to work it out. I found this old thread that tried doing this, even had a tutorial. But it died out. The syn wiki died out and I cant find gmc.jimmy's tutorial. I looked at a few other threads that provided some insight. I am sure other people have done this. A map I am testing on is syn_invasion. Heres my edt code. Im not too familiar so it might look messy and incorrect.

"syn_invasion"
{
	"console"
	{
		"skill"			2	// skill should be hard enough on 2
		"mp_player_dmgscale"	1.5	// just for the hell of it, extra damage to players
		"mp_flashlight"		1	// must have flashlight on this map
	}

	 entity
    {
        create
        {
            "classname" "info_player_coop" "origin" "0 0 0"
            values
            {
                "spawnflags" "0"
		
            }
            
	    {
            "item_suit" "1"
            "item_battery" "0"
            "item_ammo_pistol" "1"
            "item_ammo_357" "0"

            "weapon_mg1" "0"
            "weapon_bugbait" "0"

           }   
       }
        delete
        {
            "classname" "prop_ragdoll"
        }

        edit
        {
            "classname" "prop_physics"
            values
            {
                "classname" "prop_physics_multiplayer"
            }
        }
    }

Anyways to inprove this, or can you see the major issue? Also, another thing, is there a tutorial somewhere? I am trying to put an edt for all the old synergy maps that were coop and dident use a class system. I managed to find an old link for synergy 2.6 somewhere . Im sure its something obvious that my primitive eye cant see, but was wondering if someone could help me.

Thanks.

Your info_player_coop is incorrect, its origin is at 0 0 0, this is probably not the intended spawn point. Use info_player_equip for item/weapon management.

My best recommendation is to look at the .edts in the synergy content.gcf with GCFscape for the half life campaigns to see how things are done there.

Also you don't need mp_flashlight, if a player has item_suit, they will have a flashlight (unless mp_flashlight 0 ofc) mp_player_dmgscale is not a valid cvar (for me atleast) use sk_dmg_inflict_scale2 & sk_dmg_take_scale2 instead.

Otherwise everything else is correct. If you want I can 'fixup' this edt when I get home tonight.

Fixing up this would be great, all I need is something to base it off and then I should be fine.

I don't have syn_invasion so I do not know what origin and angles to use for the info_player_coop, "0 0 0" is the placeholder.

syn_invasion
{
	console
	{
		skill "2"
	}

	entity
	{
	create {classname "info_player_coop" origin "0 0 0"
		values {angles "0 0 0"} }

	create {classname "info_player_equip"
		values {
			item_suit "1"
			weapon_crowbar "1"
			weapon_pistol "1"
			weapon_smg1 "1"
			weapon_frag "1"
			ammo_pistol "54"
			ammo_smg1 "45"
			}
		}

	delete {classname "prop_ragdoll"}

	edit {classname "prop_physics"
		values {classname "prop_physics_multiplayer"
			}
		}
	}
}

Know how to find the spawn angles in a map? Im sure I can do that easy enough using hammer.

And thanks for fixing that up, Gonna test to see if it works right now. Thanks again

edit: I still dont spawn with weapons, do I need to do a bsp fix? and another thing, it says game_player_equip is no longer supported, use info_player equip instead "playerequip1"
Edit: Nvm, I fixed it! I opened the map in programmers notepad and changed game_player_equip to info_player_equip

[Zero Alpha 2]

I ran into a few bumps with a few maps. What happens if I map doesnt contain game_player_equip or info_player_equip. When I decompiled a couple maps with the notepad they dont contain those. I found out that they are actually using default weapons. How can I fix this and add info_player_equip into it? Using notepad preferably. Thanks!

Edit, you actually dont spawn with weapons at all in synergy, but in synergy 2.6 its uses synergy 2.6's deafult weapons.

you have to edt zeros on the weapon, and therefore it is not at spawn
"weapon_rpg" "0"
"weapon_slam" "0"
"weapon_stunstick" "0"
"weapon_crossbow" "0"
"weapon_mp5k" "0"
"weapon_mg1" "0"

put the number instead of 0

Thanks scorp, gonna try that right now, I will post if it works
Edit: Still dident spawn weapons on the map that contains "2.6's default weapons" and dident really do much. Again, everything works fine on maps that dont use default weapons.

[Zero Alpha 2]

Lol, im encountering problems. Noone spawns with a suit when we play, I did use "item_suit" "1", This is on halfmileisland, my favorite synergy map before it went OB
Anything I can do, Or do I need to edit the map itself?

[scorp75]

Step 1
Decompiling maps in vmex.jar
Step 2
Open map in the Hummer
See the first error - spawn


Change in edt old spawn a new

"edit"
{ "classname" "info_player_start" "values" { "classname" "info_player_coop" } }

Now, prescribe equipment

"delete" { "classname" "game_player_equip" }

"create"
{
"classname" "info_player_equip"
"origin" "0 0 0"

"values"
{
"item_suit" "1"
"weapon_physcannon" "1"
"weapon_crowbar" "1"
"weapon_pistol" "1"
"ammo_pistol" "100"
"weapon_shotgun" "1"
"ammo_buckshot" "20"
"weapon_ar2" "1"
"ammo_ar2" "60"
"weapon_rpg" "1"
"ammo_rpg_round" "3"
"weapon_deagle" "1"
"ammo_357" "30"

}
}

Necessary to correct errors of ammunition on the map


"edit" { "classname" "weapon_sl8" "values" { "classname" "weapon_mp5k" } }
"edit" { "classname" "item_ammo_smg1_large" "values" { "classname" "item_ammo_smg1" } }
"edit" { "classname" "item_ammo_ar2_large" "values" { "classname" "item_ammo_ar2" } }



Map is launching entiti setting the NPC, you can delete it and configure the map at its discretion

"delete" { "targetname" "npc_health" }

"console"
{
"mp_flashlight" "1"
"mp_lifecount" "-1"

http://synergymod.ne...d-maps-project/ this might be of interest to you.

Beyond that, if thing's aren't working, you've probably got the brackets wrong in your .edt
Easily done, happens all the while.

I used chkedt, it says everythings fine. Heres my code for halfmileisland, I dont spawn with an hev suit when playing it.

"Syn_HalfMileIsland"
{
	"console"
	{
		"sk_headcrab_health" "45"
		"sk_antlion_health" "100"
		"sk_rollermine_shock" "250"	// nice zap for ya
		"sk_citizen_health" "1"		// citizen will die from one shot
		"mp_falldamage" "1"		// you leap you fall you die 
	}

	entity
	{
	create {classname "info_player_coop" origin "0 0 0"
		values {angles "0 0 0"} }

	create {classname "info_player_equip"
		values {
			"item_suit"				"1"
			"item_battery" "15"
			"weapon_crowbar" "1"
			"weapon_shotgun" "1"
			"weapon_357" "1"
			"weapon_smg1" "1"
			"ammo_smg1" "45"
			"ammo_Buckshot" "12"
			"ammo_357" "12"
			}
		}

	delete {classname "prop_ragdoll"}

	edit {classname "prop_physics"
		values {classname "prop_physics_multiplayer"
			}
		}
	}
}

EDIT: Do I need to decompile this map too? I dont think the older maps included info_player_coop, did they? I can check now in a sec.

Stupid question maybe, but does the weapons have to be above their respective ammo? And I dont spawn with any ammo for shotgun or the 357, nor a suit. I dont know what im doing wrong .

Yeah, it doesent include it, but I still get the weapons them self's just not the ammo or suit, can info_player_coop affect that?

[scorp75]

You do not read what I wrote above?

What the devil do you create spawn point with coordinate 0 0 0?

I wrote that you only need to change the points that have

"edit"
{ "classname" "info_player_start" "values" { "classname" "info_player_coop" } }

I dont know what I wrote, but I found out how to fix all of them, and they will work near identical to before. Its a bit complicated to say but it works.
