[ANY] SteamTools Game Description Override

v1.1.3

Description:
Since the original Game Description Override plugin no longer works, I figured I'd go ahead and write a version that uses SteamTools to change the game description. For now SteamTools only supports Source 2009 games: Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

Please use responsibly.

Cvars:
st_gamedesc_override_version - plugin version
st_gamedesc_override - change this cvar to your desired game description (to reset, simply change it back to the default, such as "Team Fortress")
st_gamedesc_override_auto_update (1) - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed)

Installation:
Put st_gamedesc_override.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load st_gamedesc_override" into your console or rcon.

Requirements:
This plugin requires SteamTools.

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be autoupdated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Changelog:

v1.1.0 (7/12/12)
- Added option to disable automatic updating (st_gamedesc_override_auto_update)
v1.0.0 (10/25/11)
- Initial Release

You might want to add somewhere that SteamTools currently only supports Source 2009 games:

- Team Fortress 2
- Counter-Strike: Source
- Day of Defeat: Source
- Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

Also if I set st_gamedesc_override to nothing will it restore the default game description or set it to nothing ?.

Added the SteamTools note to the OP. Setting st_gamedesc_override to "" won't do anything, the description will remain as it is, whether it's the default or a custom description. To restore the default, you have to set st_gamedesc_override to the default description, such as "Team Fortress".

Nice that SteamTools has this now. You could make this plugin support all mods by doing something like this:

Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#undef REQUIRE_EXTENSIONS
#include <sdkhooks>
#include <steamtools>

public CvarChanged(Handle:cvar, const String:oldVal[], const String:newVal[])
{
    if (GuessSDKVersion() == SOURCE_SDK_EPISODE2VALVE)
    {
        // Use SteamTools
    }
    else
    {
        // Use SDK Hooks
    }
}
