Anti Spawn-Kill Roofs
Made by [!!!]Harlekin
Website: http://hirntot.ruwen.org

---------------------------------


The invisible anti spawn-kill clips (in the following being referred to as 
"spawn-kill roofs" or "roofs") were inspired by Chruker who once released a 
similar script on the EtPro forums. They were written to prevent players 
from spawn-killing and reduce administrative work on "No spawn-kill 
servers". They are based on scripts that come with EtPro 3.2.6 and some from 
the EtPro forums at http://bani.anime.net/etpro.

The roofs are protecting spawn-areas in open spaces like on Seawall Battery 
at the beach. For example, an axis fieldops throws an airstrike marker down 
into one of the allied beach spawn-areas. He will get a message saying 
"Aborting, cannot see target!", same with artillery. Mortar shells would 
just go off on top of the invisible roof and do no damage inside the 
spawn-area. The only possible way to spawn-kill with these scripts is to use 
Flamer/Panzer or Mobile MG. Light weapons, as well as riflenades, do not 
count as spawn-kill on [!!!]Hirntot-Community servers.´

Known bug: Mortar rounds, fired in a low angle, can fly in below an 
invisible roof. Problem is, if the roof is on a lower height than it is now, 
no nades or airstrike markers could be thrown out (they would simply bounce 
off). But that is a rather small issue.
Spawn-areas which can be captured/reclaimed/constructed/destroyed are not 
protected with roofs, beause they are fully fightable on 
[!!!]Hirntot-Community servers.

Special thanks to Jade for the trigger on Siwa Oasis and [!!!]Weird*Al who 
made the nice commandmaps. I also like to thank all the people who play on 
the [!!!]Hirntot-Community public servers and tested these scripts. 
Alternate commandmaps are included to show the protected areas. To use these 
commandmaps on your server, copy the regarding z_*mapname*.pk3 into the 
server mod folder (etpro/noquarter/etpub). Please do not edit these files to 
show your respect to the work done.

Scripts were tested with EtPro 3.2.6 and NoQuarter b1.0.4 / b1.1.0. But they 
should be working with all mods that support EtPro mapscripts. This is the 
first public release. If you encounter bugs or just like to give me some 
feedback for improvements or whatever, feel free to do this via the forums 
at http://www.hirntot.org or by mail to admin[at]hirntot.net
