Melee Only - Sudden Death

Force melee and a specific class during sudden death!

Requires this melee plugin to be installed before you start.

Features:

• Force melee-only sudden death with a specific class.
• Melee only can allow non-combat weapons unlike the built-in mp_stalemate_meleeonly.

Convars:

• melee_suddendeath - (default 1) - 0/1 - Enable or disable this plugin.
• melee_suddendeath_class - (default "heavy") - Force a class during sudden death. Leave blank to disable. Acceptable values: scout, soldier, pyro, demo/demoman, heavy, engineer/engy, medic, sniper, spy, random.
• melee_suddendeath_chance - (default 1.0) - Set a chance to enable this mode during suddendeath. Between 0.0 - 1.0: 0.5 = 50% 0.75 = 75% 1.0 = 100% (always on).

Changelog:

0.1.1 - Added a check to see if the plugin is enabled before changing mp_stalemate_enable
0.1 - Initial Release.

Install instructions:
1. Make sure you have this melee plugin installed.
2. melee_suddendeath.smx goes in sourcemod/plugins

Make suggestions, always looking for features to improve on.

Was this one updated since the Christmas patch? Cuz it seems to have stopped working.

Yeah, at first I was puzzled when I went to try it, but I noticed that the default setting is off. People will probably install this if they want to use it, so I set the default to on and class as heavy. I did try it and it works fine!

1. Make sure you have this melee plugin installed.

pheadxdll,

Thanks for making this and the melee only plugins, it is great to have a good one available again!

In getting this set up on a couple servers I found that melee_suddendeath *always* sets mp_stalemate_enable to 1, even if you have disabled the plugin in the map-specific .cfg file. (because the cvar is changed by the plugin after server.cfg, map-specific .cfg, and sourcemod.cfg have all run).

I've made a small patch (aside from the comments, sorry...) that places a conditional on forcing mp_stalemate_enable on, based on whether melee_suddendeath is enabled or not. If it is not enabled (say, because it's a CP map, or whatever reason the server admin doesn't want sudden death enabled in a particular map), it does not set mp_stalemate_enable to 1.

The patch is also attached as a file, and the melee_suddendeath.sp file attached is a version with this patch already in it.

(If you agree this is useful or a good idea, feel free to discard all the comments haha)

I still get crashes when sudden death happens. already updated the gamedata for the base plugin.

It says failed to compile when trying to download.

Grab the .smx one, it doesn't compile on the forum because of the melee include. I've gone ahead and made Pharaohs' changes. Thx!

[walker29]

Thank you, Is it possible you could make a command to force sudden death, even when in the middle of a round for some fun, On a 24/7 map server, the time has no limit and it's not possible, I'm sure people would enjoy everyone going heavy melee.
