Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Lol. and you need to hook a convar change for enable disable..other than that it's awesome xD gj :D

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Huh? I added one...

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

it's spelled 'engineer' and no you didn't add a convar hook for change

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

:)

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Can't take the file, failed to compil :'(

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I put the .smx there,

but don't forget to fulfill the requirements please

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Back on this thread, :).
It's working like a charm, but i was wondering if you can add a way to translate the phrase into another language.

Anyway thanks for this our ctf_rugby map really needed a class restrict...
edit:Nevermind i didn't though that i can just take the source.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Im getting these:

[SM] Successfully toggled debug mode on plugin MaxClass.smx.
L 11/06/2007 - 16:38:58: [SM] Native "GetClientTeam" reported: Client 6 is not in game

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Fixed...

Can someone please tell me if this works when there is >1 player, I just tested it with my self

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I do not get the errors anymore, havent had time to actually play on the server yet

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

and its spelled engineer aswell ;P

MaxPlayers[TF2_ENG] = KvGetNum(kv, "engenner", -1);

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Right, I really really need this so I went to some trouble. Fixed the spelling mistake but this does not compile. Can't find TF2, which is from the #include <tf2> line. If you get rid of that you get errors on not recognising symbols.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

You can get the tf2.inc file here.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Thank you bl4nk :D

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Alright, but the compiler on the site doesn't have the include and I don't have the compiler. Can't you just put those functions in the class balance plug-in so it would compile, people could download it and use it and stuff like that? :)

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I don't think I want to restrict classes the whole game, but when it goes to sudden death, we try to enforce only 1 engineer per team. It'd be schweet if there was a way to enable restrictions only in sudden death. :)

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Here is my config for the MaxClass plugin:
It is working but the message that describes how many are allowed after a failed attempt to switch says a massive number, I forgot to copy and paste but its definitely not right. Haven't bothered to look at the code yet.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Update

I believe I covered most things people asked for

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Well first thing: thanks for this wonderfull plugin !

then, it is a suggestion, can you add some more fonctionnalities like:

- if a player choose a class wich has reached the limit, re-open the menu (class option) instead of back to game,

- and then print a message in center say on screen class panel (like tf class limit beetles mod plugin).

can you do that please ?

Thanks !

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

And that is exactly the problem I am trying to fight

I have been looking up/down the source mod engine on how to do that, and I was only able to block the function

I tried executing the command to open the menu again, but nothing happens

The only option left would be to hack the computer memory and call the function manually, but I am not good at doing that kind of stuff

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

It works like a charms, I restrict on one map on our server (ctf_rugby) feel free to join us to verify that the plugin works : 217.70.184.250:27016

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Maybe one thing that can help you ! if my memorie is correct, in plugin BAT by EKS, when you try to swap a player to another team (like red -> blue), player dont be swaped and come in class menu ! mabe have a look at the source code of BAT.

No ?

Re: TF2 Class limit

//Put the map name as the name for specif-map config
"ctf_2fort"

"spy" "1"
"engineer" "2"
}

//When there is 6 players in the server
}
}


pls help me

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Hi Nican,

Nice plugin, will definitely be interested in this script to hopefully decrease snipers mainly and possibly limit heavy's.

Couple of ideas, rename the smx and sp file to tf2_maxclass or similar in case another mod is looking for a maxclass plugin?

Make the config file easier to use, maybe have a default section and then use 1-6 for example?

I thought the default config file meant 6 and over would have a limit however after printing the results to console I saw that it was indeed not the case and it was only trying to limit when there were only 6 people in the server...

having the flexibility to define classes on player count is useful in some situations however I think it needs an easier method to define a default section and then the rest over-ride, that way you could even shorten map specific blocks or player range blocks to only change a few classes and use the rest from default rather than specifying them all in every block.

Hopefully this makes sense to you since you said English is not your primary language, if you need clarification let me know.

Great plugin I'll be checking it out soon once I make the amendments.

Example:

So in the example:
The default > default block takes effect on all maps and sets the base defaults.
The default > players blocks take affect on all maps and over-rides the defaults.
The map > default block over-rides the defaults outlined in both "default > default" and "default > players blocks".
The map > player block over-rides all other blocks.

Once again hope this makes sense, I am not sure if it's currently setup like this or not already.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

This doesnt work at all for me? I see 5 engineers while its set to 2 and I keep seeing over 5 heavy's while its set to 1. The plugin is loaded and the MaxConfigs file is set. Any idea?

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

1 it's MaxClass.txt and it's under addons/sourcemod/configs ....also...this isn't on either of your tf2 servs!

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I have tried to get this running for ctf_rugby to limit snipers and it just will not take.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

First, being one of the "creator" (at least i gave some idea thru the mapping process)of the map thanks for playing it :o. We have rugby on our server, and TF2 Class works. You just have to add what i put in red :

May i suggest a scout limit too :).

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

nice thanks. no one has complainied about scouts...yet.:wink:

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

i have see this bug when you swap some people to another team. i explain, for exemple you start at blue as an engeneer, then you swap yourself at red. if you look a class menu in red, you can see that you are not present in engeneer but you are really an engeneer, maybe i think its a bug of the game or the swap fonction (mani with metamod)

For now, the best plugin for class restriction is Beetles mod, but i dont like it because its a full administration etc ! People just want a simple plugin for class restriction.

Does anybody can do the same plugin as beetles mod but only with the class restriction ?

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

:( Ill see what i can do with one of my guys to develop a good one ;) But first Sourcebans.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

That would be great Viper, a decent class restriction plugin is definately necessary.

As for the inability to call the class selection screen couldn't you just utilize the client exec feature?

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

*sigh*

I have been trying to sig scan the "joinclass" command to see if I can make this work better, but I can't find it D:


LouLouBizou, I may be able to fix that by hooking player_spawn and checking the class, I will try to do it right now


EDIT:
Viper, what is your idea? Maybe I can try it?


And can someone try the beta version on the first post? I can't find enough people to try it :/

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I have installed it on my server, but i cant test it, im not at home ^^

So, you can have a look on my server: 91.121.82.83:27018 |FR| Les Tetes Brulees -=]LTB[=- (Tick 100)

I will post when i back home if i see problems !

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

I'm installing it right now on our server only for ctf_rugby:
217.70.184.250:27016 [FR] Scout - Canard PC by gandi.net - (www.canardplus.com) (Custom Only)
i'll give you feedback as soon as the server is filled and tested.

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Thank you, I will go there after school

EDIT: Dang, the server is full

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

It worked perfectlly, i tried to swap a scout to the other team, and he had to respawn in another class (was not so happy btw).

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Great, now I need to find a way to open the class menu

Re: TF2 Class limit
 

Is there a way to change the allowed numbre via a super menu ingame, then re-read the maxclass.txt. I asked this because sometimes i get pissed of having a team with 4-5 sniper, and i was wonder if i can limit them on the fly.
