Backpack
by Oshroth

About:
Backpack gives survivors the ability to store extra items in their backpacks.
There is a known issue with the pills not being passed correctly.
Any plugins that blocks access to the give command for normal users will break this plugin.

Version Notes:

Later Versions will feature the most popular choices in the above poll, depending on my ability to implement them.
Intermittent versions will contain bug fixes and other minor fixes.

Cvars:
l4d_backpack_version - Plugin Version
l4d_backpack_help_mode - (default 1) Controls how backpack help is displayed. 0 disables the help messages, 1 displays the messages in normal chat window, 2 displays the messages in hint text, 3 displays the messages in center text

l4d_backpack_start_pipes - Starting no. of pipe bombs in each player's backpack

Commands:
pack - Allows survivors to view backpack contents and change current slot selections
pack <1-9> - Allows survivors to view backpack contents and change current slot selections. Using a number after the command skips showing the pack menu and instead quick-selects that item.
pack_view - (Requires Admin Generic Flag) Allows admins to view the contents of clients 1-8's backpacks

Known Issues:

• Players can only pass pills to other players if they are looking directly at them, otherwise the pills just go back into their backpack and they'll need to reselect them. *L4D2 Only*
• Possible incompatibility with plugins which change clientids
• Players are able to pick up unlimited grenades in certain cases
• Backpack is incompatible with any plugins that hook the give command and block access unless certain conditions are met. i.e. Admin Cheats, Build Enabler
• No current way to prevent survivor stealing items before other players can get them
• Grenades don't pick up correctly *L4D1 Only*

Incompatible Plugins:
Left 4 Dead Build Enabler (v.1.3.0+) - Blocks access to Give command which is core part of Backpack

Install
There is multiple versions of Backpack.
l4d2_backpack.smx is the latest L4D2 version (1.1.1), which is apparently causing problems with certain servers.
l4d_backpack.smx is the latest L4D1 version (1.1.1), which may cause the same problems as the L4D2 version.
l4d2_backpack1.0.7.smx is the rolled back L4D2 version.
l4d_backpack1.0.7.smx is the rolled back L4D1 version.
l4d2_backpack1.0.6.smx is the legacy L4D2 version for those having problems with later versions.

Place one of the above versions in sourcemod/plugins.
Make sure you don't have more then one active at the same time or it will cause server problems

Good idea and nice work I will test it soon as I come back from school

[alexip121093]

good!!! it works great

But people will steal all the medkit

[HowGentle]

good.
expect update

[Oshroth]

Don't worry, I will. I put the basic version up to find any obscure bugs that I missed in my testing.

[gamemann]

Awesome idea. Like it!

Hey Man! When you are supposed to support Primary and Secondary? I love this. And when you also make carry over maps heh? Its so cool

[Ulrich]

A great plugin. The only thing it needs asap is the Admin View/Give Command. With that, an admin (like myself) could view a persons backpack before the map change, then give the items they lost as a temporary fix to the loss of items on map change. Also, when the weight limit and encumberance updates are added, please add a config variable for them if you weren't already planing to do so. That could help a lot.

Agree very much. BTW how you will make the slow down? Force injured walking? Cause that would be funny

[Oshroth]

I think I was going to have a look at Perkmod and see how it did individual survivor speeds
