Teaching Mod

[Mr. Bougo]

I've made a mod to make the teacher's work easier. Here are the features:

Teacher status, password-protected.
Cheat whitelist, Impulse whitelist.
Pupil grouping (warping all the pupils on a specific position of the map)
Weapon control on pupils.

More to come, I hope...


It's not a big mod, but I think it can be useful...

Here it is:

Is it possible for you to do a demo (or video) of how these features work or how they could be used within a class?

[Mr. Bougo]

I'll try to do that, but I'll be VERY busy for the next weeks :/


Maybe someone else can help

Dokujisan, I don't have a demo or video either, but you can easily play around with the features of the teaching mod to get the feel of it. Download and install the mod on your own computer. Then create a teacher config with my wheel menu generator. Go to the web page link below, then select and load the Teacher preset. When you add the config it generates to your autoexec.cfg file, you'll have a menu of teacher options available via your mouse wheel.

There is a menu for server/connect that will connect to the ninja school server. At this time the server doesn't have the teaching mod installed, but you can test it on your own computer when you create a game using the create menu. If you have a few bots, you can see what will happen with students.

Here is the link to the wheel menu generator:

Okay, here is a better link for the wheel menu, because it has instructions before you get to the generator.

Good news! The teaching mod is installed on the school server. If you are interested in teaching, PM me for the password.

After testing a bit, I found that the wheel menu teacher preset needed a small adjustment, so I have updated it. The pause feature needed a few more wait cycles to account for timing.

Awesome. Fabulous news. We should have some practice runs and prepare some classes for the 2.4 release.

[AceOfThumbs]

Absolutely! Practice classes are a good idea.

Teaching 2.4 updated

Nothing new, just made it 2.4-compatible :)

Untested.

Cool! I'll give it a try.
