Great.

I can re-use the script. Any chance of adding some new Christmas/event items for the reward list?

This event is amazing, the competitiveness of NGP is a masterpiece. I'd suggest a few modifications to make it even better.

1.) Bonus NGP Points for participation

-1 extra NGP point for first kill - Encourage getting there fast
-1 extra NGP point for last kill - Encourage hunting down the last mob that is often hard to find, players often relax at this point and allow the ones who are engaged to find them.
-1 extra NGP point for most kills - this encourages players to kill as many as they can and not just get 5-6 to proc the screen.

2.) No NGP Points for players if not moving a tile for 5 seconds or more.
- Its easy to bring multiple chars and get 5-6 kills and proc the reward screen, this skews it for players running 1

3.) announce to everyone what the reward was. we know what it was vaguely based on the screen, but after the round is run everyone asks WHO GOT THAT, WHAT WAS IT and generally people reply, but it would be cool if it just announced to everyone that ran the event, X Recieved  Pre X Suff !

Is it failing to compile? Is there a script I could try compiling to see this?
(How include files load internally did change when I upgraded to a newer Pawn compiler. Don't remember the details.)

Try recompiling spy116 or xmas2015_raid.

What's the script?

It's common/spy-general.inc. I can no longer modify these .inc files and it seems some of the recent server changes broke something in this one. Would be convenient if there was a way for me/other GMs to edit these again.

The one with the elf raids and the NGP loot thing. Also convenient, it doesn't require any map editing. Would require Zer's help to fix a broken script though.

But, if you and/or others do an organized event again like the last one, I'd be willing to sponsor it somehow- Hop on and spawn some monsters, or spawn some Christmas or exciting items for prizes.

I wonder if Mr Spy has any event scripts that could be recycled?  big_smile

Shoot me a discord DM if you have suggestions.
