TeamBets (Mani Bet Module Conversion)

[ferret]

TeamBets
Version 1.4

By: ferret!
Thanks: Mani for original idea

Description

This plugin allows players to bet on which team will win the round. Their winnings are based on how many players on each team is still alive. Bomb defusals and hostages rescues, etc, count as well.

Players bet by saying "bet team amount". Team must be T or CT. Amount can be either an actual number, or the words all, half, or third.

Examples:
bet t all
bet t half
bet t 3000

Cvars

sm_bet
Turns the bet plugin on and off
Default is on. Set to 0 to disable.
sm_bet_deadonly

Sets whether or not living players can bet.
Default is on. Set to 0 to disable.
sm_bet_announce

Announces when the teams are 1v1. Does not occur if sm_bet_onevsmany is on.
Default is off. Set to 1 to enable.
sm_bet_onevsmany

Sets whether or not a player is rewarded the "Losing Bets" when its One vs Many. For example, if there are 2 players on each team, and one dies, it's now 1v2. A message will be displayed stating to place your bets. If the 1 player beats the 2 players, they will be rewarded with all the money lost from players who bet on the 2 players. This only counts bets that occured after 1v2 began, not before.
Default is 0 or "disabled". Set to 2 or higher to enable.
Change Log:

June 17th Part 2

French Translations by magicyan (Redownload plugin.teambets.cfg)
Changed [TB] prefix to [Bet]
June 17th

Several fixes to the One Vs Many code
Added "team_say" so you can bet in team_say now
We only hook player death and round end events is sm_bet is on now.
Officially incremented the version to 1.0
Suggested Plugins

It is suggested you use Bugs's "No Spec for Cash" plugin with TeamBets. It will stop players from betting all their money, switching to spectator, then switching back to their old team to get a fresh $800.

You don't have the latest version, redownload it. The June17th update fixed that. Make sure it says 1.0

[Falco]

ok, cool

[FlyingMongoose]

I want to point out [TB] may imply Team Balancer. I believe the GMP Team Balancer uses this prefxi.

I suggest [Bet] for a prefix.

[ferret]

Don't get smart with me :P I'll change it in 1.1.....

Hey Ferret,

Was just wondering if you solved an Old bug which Mani had (and still has :( ). The bug is this scenario:
Player dies
Player goes into spec, gets back on the team and gets startmoney (say 800)
Player places bet (bet team all), server takes away all money
Player goes again into spec, gets back on team and gets again startmoney (say 800)
End of round player has 800 + money made from his bet.This scenario causes that the people that know of this bug to be able to get a lot of money for the second round or any other round after that.

[FlyingMongoose]

I think teame06 was going to write a standalone plugin to prevent that...but he never followed through.

[ferret]

I didn't think of that situation, so no, it's technically still possible. I'm sure I can fix it though. I've got exams and stuff till wednesday tho, so no updates till wednesday probably.

Basicly, I'll set it up that if a player goes to spectator, their bet is invalidated.

[FlyingMongoose]

the idea of the standalone plugin is to force the players cash to always stay as it was at the time of a team swap or disconnect, periodically timing out (in case they're legitimitely afk or disconnected)

[Isias]

Translated it into german, plugin.teambets.cfg added as attachment. I think there was a little mistage in "One Vs Many Start"
{
"#format" "{1:s},{2:s}"
"en" "{1} vs {2}! Pariez maintenant!"
"fr" "{1} vs {2}! Pariez maintenant!"
"ge" "{1} vs {2}! Jetzt wetten!"
}? Doesn't it have to be "One Vs Many Start"
{
"#format" "{1:s},{2:s}"
"en" "{1} vs {2}! Bet now!"
"fr" "{1} vs {2}! Pariez maintenant!"
"ge" "{1} vs {2}! Jetzt wetten!"
}I hope so, if not, this line in my .cfg would not be correct. Well, just a typo but in your starting post you're refering to plugin.basevotes.cfg instead of plugin.teambets.cfg, which might be irritating. But thx for porting the betting menu to Sourcemod and will there be a betting Menu available some time? And one more question about Sourcemod generally, as some languages use specific characters likeä, ö, üetc., will they also work if the file gets saved in ANSI or does it have to be UTF-8?

/Reuploaded as UTF-8 and changed ge to de

[ferret]

What do you mean about a menu for betting? Describe what you'd like, and I'll see about adding it.

Are you looking for something like, just say "bet", and you get a menu to pick team, and then a menu to pick amount?

[ferret]

Thanks for the translation and noticing that "One Vs Many Start" was accidently changed.

I fixed it to this, please confirm that I got the german for "the {2} team" correct.

"One Vs Many Start"
{
"#format" "{1:s},{2:s}"
"en" "{1} vs the {2} team! Place your bets now!"
"fr" "{1} vs l'équipe de {2}! Pariez maintenant!"
"ge" "{1} vs die {2} Mannschaft ! Jetzt wetten!"
}

[BAILOPAN]

You must use UTF-8 for Half-Life 2.

[Isias]

@Bailopan: Thx
@Ferret The expression "team" is quiet well known in german and has the exact similiar meaning as in english, so you could just leave that word untranslated, but Mannschaft is also ok. I guess in the context, team would be the nicer expression than Mannschaft. I would say"ge" "Das {1} Team gegen das {2} Team ! Gebt jetzt eure Wettgebote ab!"With a menu for betting i meant exactly what you pointed out ferret. A command like "bet menu" or "bet" giving a gui for the chat commands.

Like
1 -> Bet on T
2 -> Bet on CT

Submenu below 1
1.1 Bet all
1.2 Bet half
1.3 Bet 10000
1.4 Bet 5000
1.5 Bet 2000
1.6 Bet 1000

Submenu below 2
2.1 Bet all
2.2 Bet half
2.3 ...

But that's just optional as a gui option is always nice to be used. Thx for porting the betting feature to Sourcemod ferret!

/Edit
Updated the previously posted .cfg with changed ge to de and saved the file in UTF-8 to make the special charset work.

[Lux.xD]

someone can port this plugin to AMXX? it will be great!
i love this plugin! plze

[ferret]

Plugin Updated.

Please make sure you have the latest build of Sourcemod, as this version requires the renamed Sourcemod core translation files. Also make sure to grab the new translation file.

[ferret]

Version 1.4 released, see change log. Nothing major, you don't really need to update but I did change the version cvar.

[FlyingMongoose]

I haven't looked at code, but do you make sure you handle negatives to prevent negative bets?

[ferret]

Yup

[disconnect81]

does this version allow people to go to spectator after placing a bet to get extra money? that was always exploited in manis version i founnd

[ferret]

It's been reported for mani's, but I haven't tested it for my version or had anyone report it as possible.

[geisi]

I have heard from some people on my server that bet doesn't work.
For me it works, but how can i find out if they tell me the truth?

[ferret]

If it works for you, it works for everyone. It doesn't do anything like check for admin flags. I can't fathom any way it could possibly work for only certain people.

[geisi]

well i found out

if you bind it "say bet t all" it doesn't work

because i didn't use it as a bind it worked for me

I don't know if it was planned like that but if it is possible it would be nice to use:up:

[ferret]

I know why. I'll fix later.

This plugin should fix the "spec for cash" issue.

[rishi211]

Just wondering if there is a way that you can only allow alive users to place bets and maybe an option to allow betting for the first X seconds of the round. Kinda like real gambling, you gotta place your bets ahead of time rather than the last few seconds.

Just a thought.

- Rishi

[ferret]

Should be entirely possible. Please post it as af eature request in the bug tracker (See first post, bottom)

Cool...thanks..submitted it as a feature request and hope to see it in a future version!

Russian translation of teambets!

this plugin doesnt like say or say_team in console with no arg, may also cause a server crash. It does produce errors.

[imported_Anth0ny]

any news about plugin?

What news would you like?

[imported_Anth0ny]

how about this news: "Betting plugin has been added to SourceMod core"

i like it =)

Won't happen, sorry. :) Will remain a standalone.

Any news about the binding issue?

I would like to use:
bind "PGDN" "say bet t all"
bind "PGUP" "say bet ct all"

The text appears in the chatbox, but the bet is not registered.
Works fine when betting "manually".

[[Arnold]]

Could you provide a feature that betting is only possible on 1:1 situations? The plugin should state something like "Now it's 1 on 1, place your bet!" and open the betting.

[[Arnold]]

Is the plugin still maintained?

[sessus]

does not look like it is

[r3dh3adkid]

Any way to get this work for TF2?

I know TF2 doesn't have money but I just thought it would be fun for the people on my server to bet on which team they think will win.

Possibly give each player 100 bucks every 3 maps and allow them to bet as much of that as they'd want. If they lose it all on the first game then they have to wait 2 more before they get more money

[sessus]

would be great if some1 could take this project over and fix all the bugs, e.g. TeamBets does not start anymore with the latest SourceMod release

[PStar]

would be great if some1 could take this project over and fix all the bugs, e.g. TeamBets does not start anymore with the latest SourceMod release

Works great whit CSS. With SM1.1.0 and with SM1.0.2 latest releases.

[sessus]

W/ CSS the Plugin just hangs and takes a while to get going, if at all.

[DJ Tsunami]

It works fine on the SteamFriends CS:S servers, so it must be something on your end.

[sessus]

Thx for the replies, but yeah, the plugin works again w/ some error messages:

[SM] Plugin encountered error 15: Array index is out of bounds

Could some1 check if they encounter the same issue? The error seems to be occurring randomly and in clusters of about 10min.

Looks like you do not have the "plugin.teambets.txt" in the translations folder.

[be04376]

indeed thx and sorry for the noob question

[ZiramMaddness]

Is the Bind issue ever going to be fixed.....

if command "bet t all" is typed works fine,
if binded "bet t all" does not work

[DJ Tsunami]

You mean if typed in chat. That's what this plugin does, check what was typed in chat, so of course if you type it in console it won't work. Do this instead: bind key "say bet t all"

[ZiramMaddness]

no what i meant is if you type it in chat manually it works but if you have it binded i.e. bind ] "say bet t all" it will not work

[bl4nk]

It should. All chat does is execute "say <what you typed>". So if you were to type "hi guys lol" into chat, the client just executes the command "say hi guys lol". Make sure yo have it bound properly.

[ZiramMaddness]

i am not the only 1 my clan mates and pubbers have the same problem

[BullsEye]

Hi from Germany,
i have a problem.
i did install the plugin (smx) and the source (sp)
and did activate that alive players also can bet but it does´t work.
My someone can help me???

And sorry for my bad :down: english

[haderlump]

do i download the plugin.teambets.txt also?
if its used, where does it go?

im switching from mani's bet because i like the last-guy-gets-the-$
addition. gives you incentive to really clutch out.

i tried to see if someone already asked this. sorry if i missed it,
i was skimming through pretty fast...

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

is there anything that can be done so this uses a chat trigger. I know it is minor to some, but the fact that binds don't work is not only annoying, but baffles me. If it could somehow be tied to Event_PlayerChat it would be great.

[haderlump]

read it again, friend. its all about using the chat...
if it isnt working in your server, its your install
cuz betting with the chat line is exactly how this
is designed.

btw...do i download the plugin.teambets.txt also?
if its used, where does it go?

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

Not sure who you mean with "read it again", but I've read everything many times and have been setting up servers since Valve was beginning.

I know how to bind things. I have created my own autoexec.cfg on the client side. I have used simply
bind LEFTARROW "say bet ct all"
bind RIGHTARROW "say bet t all"

since Mani first added bet module in beta testing. It always worked just fine.

Now, I press those bind keys using this plugin and I do in fact get the phrase "bet t all" or "bet ct all" in the chat window.

IT DOES NOT TRIGGER THE PLUGIN

If I open the chat or teamchat window and manually type "bet t all" or "bet ct all" and press ENTER, which is SUPPOSED to be the same as the bind, this triggers the plugin.

Being that Mani source code is not opensource, I have no way of knowing how he managed things. However, being somewhat fluent with EventScripts coding, I know how to trigger anything I want based on the Event Player_Chat. This method does not care whether it's say or say_team. It's a chat event, as described by the original valve code. I can then check the string for specific words and if found trigger a reaction.

This plugin, and most all others I've seen for SM, wants to register a client cmd to trigger whenever say and/or say_team happen. For some reason, this is making the binds fail.

I don't code for SM, is there anyone that can fix this issue by using some other trigger is my request.

[haderlump]

are we asking the same thing?
where did you put that .txt file?
if its needed and yours isnt in the right /dir,
you would then have problems...

anyone else?
"bueller?"

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

haderlump, you do need that file and it goes into the ..\cstrike\addons\sourcemod\translations folder.

What I'm talking about is another issue with the plugin not fully working. This doesn't stop you from using it, but is a hinderence to those that like to bind keys to do repetetive functions rather than type.

Why press y key, then type out "bet t all" when I could press the left arrow key and do it, but this plugin doesn't like the bind.

[haderlump]

yea, no, i totally get you
and THANK YOU for giving me the right /path for
that file...

that will hopefully get my plugin functioning and
then i'll do my best to see what the issue is.

i TOTALLY have binds for betting and i use a
little different quotations i think. heres the 4
binds i use from my own autoexec.cfg in my /cfg.
bind uparrow "say_team bet ct all"
bind downarrow "say_team bet t all"
bind rightarrow "say_team bet ct half"
bind leftarrow "say_team bet t half"
i agree that if i / we / someone cant workaround
this not seeing binds for bet calls, then i'm going
to a mattie script for bets.

OK, same issue here. the way this plug hooks in,
itwill not recognize bound betting.
makes it crippled in my opinion...

looks like we're going elsewhere.
im going to a mattie version because
i am going to attempt to add a 'viggorish'
to the bets as well as give less and less
money the fewer people (and fewer outcomes)
are left when you bet.
eg- there should be rewards for betting when theres
so many ppl left that its really more of a tossup.

what really needs to be done is a plugin that
compares health points of players' to determine
odds monies (out of my league on that though)

sorry, charlie - we're out of luck on the binds here

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

DO NOT INSTALL THE FILES UPLOADED TO THIS POST

IF YOU ALREADY INSTALLED THEM, REINSTALL THE ORIGINAL ON THE FRONT PAGE

IT DID ALLOW BINDS TO WORK, BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS ANY FIRST WORD TO TRIGGER THE PLUGIN

e.g.

crap ct 1000

This will still bet. I'm working on rewriting some of this to see if I can make it work with binds better.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

Finally fixed the issue and all is working great. See below for the latest revision. I have contacted ferret to see if he will review my changes and update the entire thread. Otherwise, I will post it as a new plugin thread or something.

TODO:

I noticed it doesn't work with GunGame v4, since the nature of GG is to ignore money. However, when installing the buylevel plugin for GunGame v4, money is important. I intend to do some special coding to detect whether GG is installed, or better yet, whether buylevel is installed.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

I have tried many things and it is not possible for ME to make SourceMod or MetaMod trigger coding from EventScripts.

GunGame !buylevel and pretty much any other money plugin uses it's own internal database to store each player's money amount. Without being able to add ES code to a SM plugin and get it to even compile, it is hopeless.

With that said, I have done what I would assume to be a FINAL revision, unless someone has issues or suggestions.

I have added the automatic creation and loading of a config file, which is located with the rest of the plugin configs in ../cstrike/cfg/sourcemod folder and it's called teambets.cfg, so enjoy.

[Frettchen5]

Is it possible to ad a Messagemode like

C A center message, like sm_csay.
H A hint message, like sm_hsay.
M A menu message, like sm_msay.
S A chat message, like sm_say.
With supportet colours?

I think a hint message is more clearly.

I can't get this plugin to run, Is there something I'm missing ?

So you didnt put the translation file into the translation folder when installing the plugin?

Here is my Polish translation:

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

mabu and killersneak, try the revised version I posted. It works with binds, and I've done nothing to require additional translations, so grab those from the frontpage.

Once you install and launch your server, a config file will be created. You need to edit it to your liking and relaunch the server.

hi,
thanks for your version, but it still seems to have a problem: t does not trigger the "all" in my bindings. so it says something like: please specify correct amount of money

[Snake60]

Hi to ALL
Today I'm understand the bag with binds :mrgreen: This is limitation of SoursePawn (SP). In SP all strings must ends by zero. (As I remember a tutorial of scripting) Therefor instead typing:
bind "p" "say bet t all"
we must type in console:
bind "p" "say bet t all0"
where 0 - it's zero. After that binds work good. :wink:

Good Luck... if I help you, give me please + in karma, if not - nevermind :)

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

I can't verify what Snake60 is saying, because I'm using my version flawlessly. I would be skeptical, since the whole ordeal with the bind is it reads the amount and if the amount = "all" then it does something, so if the amount = "all0" then it won't do a darn thing for the actual plugin, even if it does parse correctly.

It would be REALLY nice to see either the original author update with my changes, or an admin let me know to repost as a new plugin and then unapprove this one with a link to the new one. Naturally, I would credit the original author.

[tcviper]

Version 1.5 attached, try that guys.

[Snake60]

|GsX| GrimReaper
I says about your version of plugin, because ferret plugin don't work this bind in any case. If you are so skeptical to see this small flash-video ;)
http://snake.nest.nm.ru/betbug.htm
If you can fix this problem it will be great.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

Nice video... There's clearly gonna be a language barrier on my part. I just rebuilt my servers and updated every plugin against the latest compiler. I've never heard of this add a 0 at the end thing. It may be from the newer releases of MM and SM.

TCViper has me confused as to what version he is modding too.

I promise this...

I WILL RELEASE MY CODE AS A NEW PLUGIN, so as to get out of this dilemma. I would then ask that people post snippets of what they change to fix something and I will add it to the Official code, and at the same time, I will attack this issue the best I can as a novice coder.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

forgot to ask... sp file please viper, or we don't know what's been changed, and we can never compile it against future versions. I think this should be a required for all plugin releases if it's not already. It's so much more helpful.

If I could get that, I'll repost the plugin and include it if it fixes this new issue.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

I did the fresh install with the latest MM and SM and here's what I see with MY STYLE of binds, which I will detail as well.

http://www.gsxclan.com/1.jpg
http://www.gsxclan.com/2.jpg
http://www.gsxclan.com/3.jpg

As you can see, it's working. Now, how do I do it?!?

In your ../steam/steamapps/USERNAME/counter-strike/cstrike/cfg folder, either edit your autoexec.cfg to include:

alias "bet_t_all" "say bet t all"
alias "bet_ct_all" "say bet ct all"
bind "LEFTARROW" "bet_ct_all"
bind "RIGHTARROW" "bet_t_all"

Or, if you don't use an autoexec.cfg, here's one with this info in it.

[|GsX| GrimReaper]

This thread can Officially die now, and hopefully someone will APPROVE the new version and we can keep it updated.
