How To Manually Install Flash Player 11 In Linux

This post will provide a step by step instructions for installing flash player 11 plugin in ubuntu 11.04 and other different versions and distros. This will be helpful for everybody who are having trouble with the software center like I had.


Make sure no firefox process is running and then fire up the terminal and type the following commands in order:

mkdir -p ~/flash && cd ~/flash

wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz

tar -zxvf adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.238.orig.tar.gz

sudo cp -r libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

sudo cp -r usr/* /usr

Once you have finished copying the shared object and other necessary files in their respective target directories, you can open the firefox and you're good to go. :)

Flash Punisher Plugin For Counter Strike Server [New Release]

Recently I wrote a small AMX Mod X plugin that kills the player who throws flashbangs in counter strike and this post provides the plugin and source code of the plugin for the download.

Why this plugin

Well there are probably few other flash bang punishment plugins already available for download but all I needed was a minimal plugin that would just kill the flashbanger and prevent the effect of the flashbang to other players.

At the first look, the plugin may sound stupid but we play a lot of aa_dima map and few players were continually throwing the flashbangs. There are several maps which are meant to be played by making use of shooting skills that the use of flashbangs. But some people never understand.

I chose to have death as the punishment because that would be the worst punishment any player would expect. And, they will surely be not throwing flashbangs in next rounds.

Download flash_kill.amxx

Or check the Github Repos of Flash Punisher.

Installation is similar to other plugins. Copy the flash_kill.amxx file to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/ and add a new line "flash_kill.amxx" (without quotes) in the cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini.

CVARS:
tg_flashpunish 0 - prevent the killing of player on throwing flashbang.
tg_flashpunish 1 - the plugin shows its effect i.e. the player dies on throwing flashbang.

I hope this plugin becomes useful to some of you guys. :)
