Description
Was looking for this kind of plugin for my server and couldn't find anything. Pretty useful to mark certain spots on map until it changes.
Has only been tested on CSGO but I think it would work on other games

Lets players "paint" on walls by using +paint command.

The paint decal is from the Momentum Mod game. Thanks to Cabbage McGravel of the Momentum Mod team for making the texture.



Uses g flag for +paint command. Override +paint to change/remove the flag.

Features
Let's users add paint (more like dots) on map, with different colours and sizes. To remove current paints from your screen you can use r_cleardecals.

Command List

• +paint - When held down places paint where client is looking
• sm_paintcolour/sm_paintcolor - Opens menu that lets client choose from various colours
• sm_paintsize - Opens menu that lets client choose from sizes

Changelog

• 1.0 - Initial release
• 1.1 - Added admin flag
• 1.2 - Code cleanup
• 1.3 - Improved textures & easier colours configuration

Installation instructions
Add the .smx to plugins folder and add the decal textures (.vmt and .vtf) to materials/decals/paint

Modifying/adding paints
To add a new paint you need to do 2 things.

First is to add a VMT file for each size of the paint (small/med/large by default).

Here's an example of the VMT file for the small orange paint (paint_orange.vmt):

"UnlitGeneric"
{
    "$basetexture" "decals/paint/paint_decal"
    "$decal" 1
    "$decalscale" 0.14
    "$translucent" 1
    "$color" "{255 165 0}"
}

Pretty much every paint will have this same format. The only 2 options you will need to configure are $decalscale (to change the size/scale of the paint) and $color (to change the actual colour of the paint).

For a given colour you will need to make a VMT file for each size. In the orange paint example above those are paint_orange.vmt, paint_orange_med.vmt, paint_orange_large.vmt.

Second, the paint.sp plugin needs to be slightly modified:

char g_cPaintColours[][][64] = // Modify this to add/change colours
{
	{ "Random", "random" },
	{ "White", "paint_white" },
	{ "Black", "paint_black" },
	{ "Blue", "paint_blue" },
	{ "Light Blue", "paint_lightblue" },
	{ "Brown", "paint_brown" },
	{ "Cyan", "paint_cyan" },
	{ "Green", "paint_green" },
	{ "Dark Green", "paint_darkgreen" },
	{ "Red", "paint_red" },
	{ "Orange", "paint_orange" },
	{ "Yellow", "paint_yellow" },
	{ "Pink", "paint_pink" },
	{ "Light Pink", "paint_lightpink" },
	{ "Purple", "paint_purple" },
};

An entry needs to be added to this list for the new colour you'd like to add. The first string is the name of the paint and the second is the base filename of the VMT for that paint.

Plans
Might make a config file to easily add/change paint textures and sizes

Any video or screenshot please ?

The paint textures have been updated to be higher quality. The seams around the paint circles are no longer visible and the edges aren't pixelated.

Before (may need to zoom in to spot seams, not the highest quality picture):


After:


Also, all the paint colours now only reference a single VTF texture (paint_decal.vtf) so the number of files the user has to download has been cut significantly. This also makes adding/changing colours much easier, only the $color property of the VMT needs to be changed. I've added more specific details on how to do this to the original post.

Big thanks to Cabbage McGravel of the Momentum Mod team for making the texture.
