[REQ][CSGO] Team Icons above heads.

[Unbelievable]

I wanted to ask if someone could create a simple plugin that would use a sprite to display team icons on above their heads.

For example:
Counter-Terrorist has a sprite above head saying "CT"
Terrorist has a sprite above head saying "T"

Why do i want this? Well if you ran a server with custom skins and its team deathmatch you can sometimes get confused of who is in what team.

I found a plugin that is similar to what I want but only works for admins not player teams.
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=252600

Would anyone be able to edit this and allow team icons instead of just admin ones?

Removed.


Not tested through.

I'll give it a test bro thanks for the reply, I'll let you know if there's any problems.

How would i select which team the icon is applied for?? can there be a option where we set which icon is used for select team
example: "Team" "2" or "Team" "3"

"File"
{
"01" // Specify whatever. It doesn't matter at all.
{
"class" "Terrorist" // IMPORTANT: This is going to be your reference sprite name, choose it carefully. DON'T REPLICATE IT
"vmt" "materials/sprites/terrorist.vmt" // Filename
"vtf" "materials/sprites/terrorist.vtf"
}
"02"
{
"class" "CounterTerrorist" // IMPORTANT: This is going to be your reference sprite name, choose it carefully. DON'T REPLICATE IT
"vmt" "materials/sprites/counterterrorist.vmt"
"vtf" "materials/sprites/counterterrorist.vtf"
}
}

Wait, it does work ? Also, I just removed the auth part, so if you have troubles configuring it, post it on the plugin thread.

The config is not the problem, its just getting the config to show the icon for selected team and then applying it to players in that team (which the plugin has no option for).
Would you be able to add a section in plugin to allow you to set which team it loads for?

Yeah.... later.

Sorry man i don't mean to be rude thank you for you're help +1

Uh, you wasn't rude at all, I just don't have time yet.

[Unbelievable]

Can anyone help?

[Arkarr]

Can anyone help?
Yeah. Accepted value for "team" : "T", "RED", "SURVIVOR", "CT", "BLU", "INFECTED".
Exemple :

// "Icon"
// {
// "File"
// {
// "01"
// {
// "class" "OtherClass" // IMPORTANT: This is going to be your reference sprite name, choose it carefully. DON'T REPLICATE IT
// "vmt" "materials/sprites/other.vmt"
// "vtf" "materials/sprites/other.vtf"
// }
// }
// "Player"
// { // STACK STRUCTURE, the plugin will read it from up to down, so you can adjust the order to specify what you want. For example:
// "PlayerOther"
// { // All other than above players
// "auth" "flags"
// "attribute" "" // Null flags mean all
// "class" "OtherClass"
// "scale" "" // Means default engine scale(1.0)
// "team" "CT"
// }
// }
// }

PS: If you could remove the code in your quote, above, it would be really nice for other, so they won't get confused about wich version they have to use, thanks :3 !

PS2: Also, like always, please donate if you enjoy my work :D !!

[Unbelievable]

Thank you man no problem ill test it and let you know.

[Unbelievable]

It seems that the sprites do not show above head, the plugin compiles with no errors but doesn't work for some reason.

Hi this my my icon.cfg

"Icon"
{
"File"
{
"01"
{
"class" "CT"
"vmt" "materials/sprites/sg_detective_icon.vmt"
"vtf" "materials/sprites/sg_detective_icon.vtf"
}
"02"
{
"class" "T"
"vmt" "materials/sprites/sg_traitor_icon.vmt"
"vtf" "materials/sprites/sg_traitor_icon.vtf"
}
}
"Player"
{
"PlayerCT"
{
"auth" "flags"
"attribute" ""
"class" "CT"
"scale" ""
"team" "CT"
}
"PlayerT"
{
"auth" "flags"
"attribute" ""
"class" "T"
"scale" ""
"team" "T"
}
}
}

The icon only works for CT but T doesn't, did i make any mistakes?
I do have their icon material files in server/my client


EDIT:
Just duplicate the icon plugin, 1 for CT (w/ icon_ct.cfg) , 1 T (w/ icon_t.cfg) then done.

[Unbelievable]

I'll give it a try, Once I've got it to work I'll upload the sprites I made for both teams so that others can use it.

[Unbelievable]

Thanks to Bonkorn suggestion I got it working for both teams.

Here is a link to a zip file containing edited plugin and sprites. Uploaded it to my site because its faster.
http://blaze-clan.com/teamicon.zip

The screenshot was taken by a low spec pc so the quality of the sprites will be low.

Special thanks to Arkarr for getting the plugin to work with teams.

Using two times the same plugin isn't right. I should fix my plugin.

That would be great man would help alot.
for some reason it only reads the first sprite in config and not the second or third one.

You don't have any logs ? What happen if you type :
sm plugins reload [PLUGIN_NAME]
Any errors ? There should be some.

[Unbelievable]

There is nothing in the error logs. strange.. even after i reloaded the plugin.
