CONFLICTS
--------------
both state files

added if u type kill while in build mode, you will be respawned, u will NOT lose a life or
gain a death. This is so u get suck, respawn.

changed some things prob not worth mentioning. added some stuff to the cvars file.

changed the teleports to avoid telefragging.

----------------------
01/08/2008
* Changed the state files to fixed versions
  - Including shark fix, mg fix, team swap, nade drop and skin crashing fixes.
* Added "only_admins_delete" cvar.
  - This cvar sets so only admins can delete objects. Admins are detected automaticaly in build mode every5 seconds.
  - You can also set yourself as admin by typing "rcon imadmin YOUR_ENTNUM"
* Added  "use_select_beams" cvar.
  - This makes a nifty little func beam parimeter around an object selection 	.
	
01/10/2006
* Some changed to bb_log 1 output.
 - Removed , from vectors.
 - Replaces (- with ( - in fectors.
 - Removed errors from bb_log.
 - Put quotation marks around name and thread in log output. Should avoid errors.

bb folder for the default and use that.

new controls.

while holding an object, press holder and use the direction keys to rotate the object.
while walking forwards/backwards will move the object further, closer to the player

MAPS
--------
script has been executed from all DM maps. All dm maps are included in this pk3

This is not even an alpha or beta, just a quick 
example, template of ideas for a possible further 
development into "build a base" who's name probably 
will change.


please dont run this on your server unless your like :yeah.
the state file IS NOT FIXED, it still has sharking bugs etc, 
i quickly grabbed a new one, 

If no one likes this and thinks its just as crap as base builder, i wont bother
working on it more, if 1 or 2 like it, they can work on it more :D (will prob happen, i mean
im too lazy and spent this day doing this when i could be doing my real work).

If i ever update AP, i may build this into AP and then if i was supporting this, not support the
standalone anymore, Given that it would be easier in AP, mroe setting, state file fixes, and 
spawn detection.

Running the game
-------------------------------

in order to run the game on your map, you must exec it after level waittill spawn

eg, from stalingrad

// STALINGRAD
// ARCHITECTURE: ZIED, POWZER
// SCRIPTING: POWZER

main:

// set scoreboard messages
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad"
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext3" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext1" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext2" ""
setcvar "g_obj_axistext3" ""

setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "mohdm6"

	// call additional stuff for playing this map round based is needed
	if(level.roundbased)
		thread roundbasedthread

	level waittill prespawn
	
	//*** Precache Dm Stuff
	exec global/DMprecache.scr

	exec global/door_locked.scr::lock
	level.script = maps/dm/mohdm6.scr
	exec global/ambient.scr mohdm6
	
	level waittill spawn

exec bb/main.scr //exec bb

end



Controls (plz read)
----------
while in game press USE to spawn an object,
use LEAN left and right to toggle between objects. 
You can hold downa  lean direction to quickly scroll through
the objects.To select an object press Primary Fire to drop it
to chuck an object press and hold Secondary fire,
the longer you hold it, the further your object will fly.

When you do not have an object in your view, by looking 
at an object and pressing a Fire button on the mouse, 
you select that object. The object will become eluminated in 
a red glow, You can see when players select objects,
Pressing Primary Fire will select this object and pick it up.
Pressing Seconday fire on the mouse will delete this object.
So, double clicking with primary fire , will pick up the object. 
While double clicking secondary fire on a selected object will delete it.


cvars,
-------
If cvars are not set, the default , set in bb/cvars.scr will be used. 

build_time , Sets the time you have to build, default 500.

max_objects, Sets the maximum objects that can be spawned, default 800.
	      This is to stop crashing due to running out of free edicts. If this
                     limit is reached, then the game will start.

log_bb, This prints out to console all the current objects in script form. This script
            can later be extracted and used to spawn objects into the game. default 0.
	set to 1 to activate.
	
bb_script, If you have an object script, produced manualy or by the cvar above. Setting
	this cvar to the script path will exec that script and therefore spawn all the entities into the map.

bb_on, 0 = off, 1 = on , turns mod on and off

items_explode, 0 items break up, 1= items explode when they breakup

finish_build, If set to anything other than blank will finish the build time instantly

delete_own_team_only , if set 1, then players can only delete items set by their team

delete_own_only, if set 1, then players can only delete items set by themselves

use_select_beams, If set 1. Then when you select objects, func beams will urround them. 
		  This is a lil slow as func beams dont update v.well.

only_admins_delete, If set to 1. Then only admins with server rcon can delete objects.



Adding objects:
--------------------
to add objects u can simply open bb/objects.scr, the makearray at the top of the script contains a list of all
the object that will be toggleable by leaning. Index 1 should be the tik, 2 should be the name.

	level.bb["obejcts"] = makearray
	"static/indycrate.tik"		"indycrate"
	"static/barbwire.tik"		"barbwire"
	"static/wardrobe.tik"		"wardrobe"
	"static/static_torpedo.tik"	"torpedo"
	endarray	

for example to add a V2

	level.bb["obejcts"] = makearray
	"static/indycrate.tik"		"indycrate"
	"static/barbwire.tik"		"barbwire"
	"static/wardrobe.tik"		"wardrobe"
	"static/static_torpedo.tik"	"torpedo"
	"static/v2.tik"	"v2"
	endarray	

note: that tik path is probably wrong. 



Ready spawned objects
-------------------------------
If you wish to spawn objects yourself , Spawn objects with the targetname "bb_object".

main:
	local.model = spawn script_model targetname "bb_object"
	local.model.origin = ( 0 0 0 )
	local.model model "tatic/indycrate.tik"
end

This model will be accessible by the players to pick up and delete.
