knuckledragger if this was on solo, it’s intended behaviour of the mod. Read the Features section.

Hadi77KSA Yep my bad, thank you!

I was doing the Die Rise EE and found a lock that prevents you from completing the EE, I think it's a vanilla game bug, it's the step where you choose either:

Richtofen: having the balls sliquified.
Maxis: Picking up the balls.

The bug is that if you sliquified a ball, if you pick the other ball up you no longer can sliquifie it, and the sliquified ball can't be picked up, thus locking yourself out of the EE.

I have did this fix and it works, by changing the self endon( "sliquified" ) to a level endon, same for the notify, to make it that if you sliquified a ball the other can't be picked up and locking you into Richtofen path, and you already get locked into maxis path if you picked up a ball.

Ivobardolf good find. It is indeed a vanilla game bug. Unfortunately, the scope of my mod isn’t to fix vanilla bugs. The scope is to make the Easter Eggs be possible with any number of players. On that note, I won’t implement the fix. Although, your fix might be of use to server hosts.

One thing I’d note about your fix is that when one ball gets sliquified, the pick up prompt for the opposite ball would still show up although it would have no effect due to the modification you’ve made. This could potentially lead to confusion even if letting it be functional would softlock the Easter Egg. You could alternatively do this:

preventDieRiseBallsSoftlock()
{
    level endon( "sq_ball_picked_up" );
    common_scripts\utility::flag_wait_any( "sq_ball_picked_up", "ssp1_ball0_complete", "ssp1_ball1_complete" );
    a_balls = getentarray( "sq_sliquify_ball", "targetname" );

    for ( i = 0; i < a_balls.size; i++ )
    {
        if ( isdefined( a_balls[i].t_pickup ) )
        {
            a_balls[i].t_pickup delete();
        }
    }
}

[Ivobardolf]

Hadi77KSA where should I put this function at? it doesn't work for me as it still shows the balls having the pickup trigger with and without the fix

[Hadi77KSA]

Ivobardolf apparently array_wait_any doesn’t work for whatever reason. Use the code from the edited message.

[fluxation]

Should the scripts comes with the latest release download or are they downloaded separately?

[Hadi77KSA]

fluxation the main installation and complete scripts folder alternative installation will make the following scripts load automatically:

• tranzit_maxis_any_player_ee.gsc
• die_rise_any_player_ee.gsc
• buried_any_player_ee.gsc
• super_any_player_ee.gsc (integrated in the Buried script)
• origins_any_player_ee.gsc

For any other script (patches/extras/Mob of the Dead), you'd have to follow additional steps, which those would be exactly or close to the individual files alternative installation instructions.

[fluxation]

Thanks for clarifying

[Juanlaverga1234]

Tranzit and Die Rise have worked for me, but in Buried I always get stuck on the last step of the EE. Can someone help me?

[Hadi77KSA]

Juanlaverga1234 if you’re able to start the sharpshooter, then make sure to hit the required number of targets. Otherwise, you haven’t completed the previous step.

[Robert2532M]

Hadi77KSA I get the same result, and in the end it says "raw," , and the bot doesn't appear. What can I do?

[Hadi77KSA]

Robert2532M the bot spawns in after entering the prisoner numbers.

[tallynxd]

Hey! was just wondering it was possible to merge this mod with the BO2 Remix mod or any other mod in general, thanks!

[Hadi77KSA]

tallynxd as long as they don’t change how Easter Eggs work, they should be compatible. If they're a fs_game mod that requires loading from the Mods menu, then for my mod instead of following the main installation instructions, you could follow one of the alternative installation methods so that it loads automatically without needing to load it from the Mods menu.

[ceresian]

When any of my friends try to join me, or vice versa, we get an error that says fs_game mismatch between server () and client, and we all checked and made sure we had the mod loaded, and installed correctly.

[Hadi77KSA]

ceresian it would depend on what is exactly shown. If it says in the error message nothing inside the parentheses for the server but shows some value for the client, then the host didn’t load it as a mod from the mods menu while the other person did. This can happen if the host followed one of the alternative installation methods while the other person followed the main installation. At this point, it’s not necessary for the other person to install/load the mod. Example error:

fs_game mismatch between server () and client (mods/zm_any_player_ee)

If it’s the opposite, where the parentheses of the server have a value but the ones of the client don’t, then that indicates the host loaded it as a mod from the mods menu while the other person didn’t. This can happen if host followed the main installation while the other person didn’t follow it or didn’t load the mod from the mods menu. Example error:

fs_game mismatch between server (mods/zm_any_player_ee) and client ()

Otherwise, if it shows different values in the two sets of parentheses, then someone between the host and the other person didn’t install it correctly or didn’t load the correct mod.

In any case, the fix is to either get the host to follow one of the alternative installation methods so the other people don’t have to install/load the mod, or have everyone follow the main installation.

im tryin do to tranzit ee richtofen side and when i load the match it say scripts/zm/zm_transit/tranzit_maxis_solo.gsc so the mods is it only for maxis side? because at the last step i throw my emp and it dosent work and yes i was throwing my emp fast and try it 3 time and still dosent valid the ee richtofen side plssss help

[Hadi77KSA]

SimMachinexQc you have to install the TranZit Extra script for Richtofen solo mod. I don’t include it with the other files because TranZit Richtofen is possible solo without mods although it is difficult.

[SimMachinexQc]

Hadi77KSA thanks youuuu!
