If I remember correctly xp will show as 0 until at least one xp is gained in the round/map. (Bugged the hell out of me when testing) This was a long time ago though when I was testing on etpub, so I am unsure if this is still the case in silent mod.
Yes. The cvar that controls this g_skills. By default it is not enabled for other classes. http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Mod_Server_Cvar#g_skills
I understood what you meant. I didn't express myself the right way, because I don't want to comment too much on the subject. But what I meant was that it would be mostly just wasted money. We appreciate the offer though.
This should be fixed in 0.8.2 in which all the sounds should be played. There is indeed a quiet pushing effect that feels weird when getting hit from far distances. This is caused by not having the impact sounds on yourself on these occations. That was unintended. Thank you for reporting this bug.
Like solar and Dragonji already pointed out, ETPro sourcecode is not available. But I will add as a representative of the silEnT mod team, that even if ETPro source code would be available, there would be no motivation for the silEnT mod team to add features to it. If we would do anything with it, we would just look for things we could use to improve our mod.

I think I now know why it didn't work. You had this in your campaigncycle.cfg
set d_initial "set g_gametype 4 ; oasis ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
While it indeed needs to have the map command to start the game.
set d_initial "set g_gametype 4 ; map oasis ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
Like in the original campaigncycle.cfg.

The current implementation is equivalent to ETPro's b_goatsound 1. We can add the option to disable the sound. I.e. make the feature enabled by a cvar.
Btw, I recently found a bug in the time played in each team values in etpub (mapAxisTime / mapAlliesTime). It is not computed when players are in limbo, so the more a player spend in limbo, the less accurate these values are. Consequently, the PRW can't be accurate either. Chances are that this bug is still present in latest silent.
The documentation was/is slightly incorrect. It said that the g_silentac cvar is a bitmask. However, it is actually integer with possible values 0,1 and 2. It works the same if the value is 3 though, as the implementation was originally intended to be a bitmask. But the cvar that tracking websites read is set only if the value of g_silentac is set to 2. Do note that there is no additional value from flag 1 if the players get banned automatically.
You need to put the admin blocks into a separate file named admins.cfg. Then you need to use the !readadmins command. The !readconfig command does not recognize admin blocks. The reason for that is that if it would, it would overwrite all the changes made with the online admin commands.
heh, you just assume Petty arguments aside, I can share it here for you or anyone else who wants to do custom sounds this way. The advantage of this is that you can restrict certain sounds by shrubbot level. We use this as a small benefit for regulars, vip regulars and members.
In full disclosure, another member of IoW wrote these scripts, so I can't really help you if things aren't working or this is poorly written or wrong or causes your server to crash. Use at your own risk! All I know is, it works...
First you need formatting.lua. I think it was supposed to be a general purpose utility script that is shared by other scripts.

There is some stuff in here about having clients opt out of the sounds, but I don't think it was ever finished nor does it work AFAIK. But take them as-is if you like.
Next, the format of the playsound.cfg file is this:
wewin
{
level:1
sound:the_game.wav
}
...
So you've got the command (as in !play wewin), the minimum shrubbot level required to use the sound (note all higher levels can use it), then the sound file name itself. The sound file must be in 'sound/playsound/' in your pk3 file, or else you can change the path coded in the playsound.lua file. But this way, you can just edit playsound.cfg to add your sounds, the command string and level required to run it. No end to the amount of sounds you can have.
Next, define the commands in your shrubbot.cfg file:
[command]
command = ^bplay
exec = play [i] [1]
desc = Play a sound
syntax =
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5
[command]
command = ^blistsounds
exec = listsounds [i]
desc = List all sounds
syntax =
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 5
Finally, be sure to include the LUA scripts in your et config files:
set lua_modules "playsound.lua"
@beck if you download our pk3 file either from our silent server (abcsilent.abcclan.org) or from here and have a look inside it you will see how it is done. Else pm me.
@Larrywall Yes it is possible have a look inside our pk3 file to see.
Briefly you need to edit wm_quickmessageAlt.menu
If you look through this above you should see where the edits are.
Then you need to edit the wm_allies_chat.voice and the wm_axis_chat.voice
This above was added in at the end of the existing file.
More info. If you look at this line
QM_MENU_ITEM( "1. ^7Monty Python", exec "VoiceChat Monty"; close wm_ABC_Sounds, "1", 1 ) [name shown in menu], exec"VoiceChat [name of voicechat]
So when this is selected off quick chat it will play from wm_allies_chat.voice
So different people will hear a different message.
Unfortunately there isn't any real tutorial for it. The information is scattered around but I think we should have one tutorial that gathers all the ways how to make those. It should include what is found from the shrubbot documentation http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot#shrubbot.cfg, the shortcuts http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot#Shortcuts accompanied with how to further complicate the commands with Lua scripts.
You mean how can you make !chicken etpl say "ETPlayer is a chicken!" ?
If that is what you mean, I'm fairly sure you would need the command to be defined as follows:
command = chicken
exec = chat "[1?] is a chicken!"
desc = Call someone chicken
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 etc etcTo help you understand what the "[1?]" means - the 1 passes the 1st thing you type after !chicken, and the ? part tells silEnT MOD to look for a partial playername match..
So you could go even further and change the command to this..
command = insult
exec = chat "[1?] is a [2]!"
desc = Insult somebody
levels = 0 1 2 3 4 etc etcAnd then do !insult etpl fool, and the server would then say "ETPlayer is a fool!"
EDIT: I found this, it may help you: http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot#shrubbot.cfg
g_shove is not the one to change. Setting it to 0 would disable pushing. I'm not currently sure how to disable the knock back from weapons when it is friendly fire, that is disabled.
