I'm using the player count map action to try and keep track of how many players are in the game and detect when a player leaves or joins the game.

Script basically works by checking whether the number of players = x (x starts as 1). If that fails, it activates two actions, one to check whether number of players > x and one to check num players < x. depending on which one of those actions succeeds, some math actions either add or subtract 1 from x, and then run the script again.

The script works fine when players join, however it seems that when someone leaves the game, the number of players does not actually go down (as far as the player count map action can tell)

I did some other testing and it seems that if a player keeps joining, dropping, and rejoining, then the player index assigned each time keeps going up, and never goes down.

It also seems like there are two additional player indexes perhaps assigned to team 1 and team 2 in coop, that are assigned the indexes following the players in game when the game starts (if the game starts with 1 player then that player will get index 0, indexes 1 and 2 will be reserved, and if a new player joins they will be index 3)

Is all of this correct, or am I making a mistake somewhere with the scripting? If I am correct, it would be nice to have a parameter or action that can count the actual current number of players in the game, rather than just (apparently) counting the total number of player indexes that have been assigned at some point during the game.

Games crashing before loading. One example being Carlinho's D-Day 1.9 (HD units). I actually haven't been able to run this plugin since the first 1.8 patch.

If a multiplayer game is started while I'm typing (I believe while holding shift for caps) it crashes Myth.

You can show package contents and find required.zip.7z inside it which has the files.

Seconded Deceiver's request, as I had requested in another thread. With Java no longer being installed, it would be nice to have the installer changed to a non-Java version, or a manual install offered.

You're literally replying to my post that tells you how to do a manual install. Otherwise, when we ship the final, the installer for that doesn't require Java to be installed.

Hmm, I did the manual install and when opening the Myth 1.8.2 public beta file I get asked to "Insert CD or do full install" any ideas? :/

My guess is you didn't put the files in the right location. The Myth II app needs to be in the Myth II folder that contains the "tags" folder with the data from the full installation as well as the plugins folder with the needed patches.
