[Mecha the Slag]

Requires SDK Hooks
Compiled with 1.2.4
Inspired by this

When compiling, you'll need
colors

Credits to Damizean and his Equipment Manager which I have modified slightly for this purpose.

This plugin gives each class 3 skills to advance in. Upon leveling up twice in any skill they'll gain a new wearable. No wearable are hats on purpose: the plugin is not meant to replace the player's ever-so-loved hat.

Make sure to try the plugin first with cce_nosubmit 1. If you like it, you can consider adding saving support.

Soldat's Aim: Hit enemies directly with rockets!

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN SQL
STEP 1
Execute the following into your sql database:

CREATE TABLE  `<DATABASENAME>`.`mw_skills` (
`id` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`steamid` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`value` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (  `id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM

Replace <DATABASENAME> with the name of your database. It should create a table called mw_skills.

STEP 2
Go to addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg

Add the following after the last database:

	"cce"
	{       
		"driver"			"mysql"
          	"host"				"<HOST>"        
          	"database"			"<DATABASENAME>"    
          	"user"				"<USERNAME>"      
          	"pass"				"<PASSWORD>"      
         	"timeout"				"300"       
          	"port"				"3306"   
	}

Replace the highlighted fields with your sql settings.
Change cce_nosubmit to 0 and it should work after the next map change.


CVARS

cce_level_max (4): Maximum level in each skill a player can reach
cce_exp_default (150): Default max experience always required for each level
cce_exp_levelup (500): Additional xp required for each skill. I multiplied for each level (ex: level 3, 150 + 500*2 = 1150 xp required).

The plugin fails to compile, but I really like the idea.

[Mecha the Slag]

requires SDK hooks, as mentioned in the first post.

Yay, I'm inspiring more people ^_^

Could we get some screenshots of these wearables?

[Sp0rk]

Actually it was the colors include that was missing, but I worked that out. It seems to work really well and I look forward to testing this on my TF² server! Just one request. Would there be a way to make the skill, rank and experience points smaller or only appear when progress is made? They seem a bit large in the HUD.

Warcraft Source has been on CS:S for a long long time, your not the first, sorry!

I would love to test these plugins someday tho, when we get more money for more servers!
