Invis
Description
A plugin to make all players or water invisible to the player who used the menu.
This will cause better performance (= more fps) for the player.

Water Types
func_water
The most common way to create water. It uses a lot of performance and has a feature to create waves.
func_illusionary
Another way to create water. It looks like a func_water with only two differences: The performance is much better and this way has no wave-feature.
To create such an entity simply set "Contents" in the entity properties to "-3".
func_conveyor
The third way of creating water. Ok, you cannot create water with func_conveyor alone. You can use this ent to get a nice effect of streaming water if you use such an entity with a water-texture and a invisible func_illusionary which is only needed to create the actual water.
Always wondered why it is not save to use this on wrs? This plugin dosn't change server-engine behaviour - it changes only the client part what has nothing to do with the server entity 'thinks'.

yep ^^ i did ask faker and he told me the main point why admins decided to disallow using such a plugin in wr demos was that it may look annoying to some ppl. but maybe there is a way to send wrong data to the player but correct data to the recorder or however i should call it xD but i guess its impossible with AddToFullPack because i think the record feature does just exactly write to a file what the player can see + coords etc.
No water = easier (at least for me). Thats the point I think. Plugins should not make map easier.
Illusionary stuff makes no sense to engine behavior too. However it makes map harder since you can't see well where is the jump.
just to say an example why allowing making water invisible for more fps in wr runs would be good: rabbithighways

updated!!
Sucks that water invis aint allowed, gives me way better fps :(
I putted .sma and .amxx files in folders where it need to be, writed in plugins.ini (or smthn like this) I go in my new game serv, write /invis and nothing happens :/ please help!
.amxx needs to be added in configs/plugins.ini
then restart your listenserver or open it
then say /invis
if this does not help... check whether you are using amxx 1.8 if not install it
check for errorlogs in the console too!
I installed amxx 1.8, but it ditn't work! Metamod, and hookmod worked, but not amxx :[ !
Edit:
L 12/26/2008 - 19:02:21: [AMXX] Plugin "invis.amxx" failed to load: Module/Library "hamsandwich" required for plugin. Check modules.ini <--from console... and i have it same for team changer!
if you really installed amxx 1.8 that failure should not occure.
check your amxmodx/modules/ directory for a hamsandwich.dll file (dont know the exact name but in contains hamsandwich :P). if it doesnt exist reinstall the latest amxx nightly (download it from amxmodx.org) and if it does try to enable the module in the modules.ini (located in the configs dir)
Ty! Dunno wtf happened, but it works!
But with one problem, when I put xj listenserver(downloaded from misc in download section) in my cs it changes back to 1.7, which files i don't need to move in cstrike folder?
updated, two new types of water are made invisible + plr sound will now be turned off (old pluginw as buggy)
