[Any?] Pause the Game
 

This plugin facilitates the simple function of pausing and unpausing the game. This requires the cvar sv_pausable to be set to 1. If this cvar is set to a non-true value, this plugin will not function.

Normally, all players have access to the "pause", "setpause", and "unpause" commands on servers where sv_pausable is enabled. This plugin restricts usage of the commands to only players who have access to the override sm_pause. sm_pause is itself a command that can be used to quickly pause/unpause the game from the chatbox. Further, this plugin allows the pause and sm_pause commands to be used by the server console, which is normally not possible.

It is not necessary to override "pause", "unpause", "setpause", "sm_unpause" or "sm_setpause". Overriding only sm_pause will function as if you are overriding all these commands.


Changelog:




The plugin requires custom includes. Includes required to compile the plugin are:

• ddhoward_updater.inc
• updater.inc (source)

The Updater plugin does NOT need to be installed for this plugin to function. If you do have Updater installed, integration with this plugin is controlled by the cvar sm_pause_update. Information on this cvar can be found in the ddhoward_updater include.

Re: [TF2/Any?] Pause the Game
 

This plugin has only been tested with TF2. I would appreciate feedback, and any tips on making the game fully compatible with other games.

What exactly does pausing do in multiplayer servers?

Does it just pause everyone in the server if one person pauses?

tf2 work thks !

Re: [TF2/Any?] Pause the Game
 

Yes. Players are unable to move or even adjust their eyeangles. They also cannot fire weapons, although there's weirdness with prediction on the client-side. On servers with pause enabled, unless AddCommandListener is used to restrict usage of the command to only admins, then EVERYONE can pause/unpause the game for EVERYONE.

If a client has cl_showpausedimage set to 1, then he/she will see a "PAUSED" overlay when the game is paused.

Updated to 15.0629. Minor improvements. If the cvar sv_pausable can't be found, then the plugin won't do anything. If sv_pausable is found, but AddCommandListener is not supported, then the plugin will set sv_pausable to 0 before proceeding to not do anything.

Can you add cvar to not require updater? I don't use it and this is throwing back at me.

Re: [TF2/Any?] Pause the Game
 

It should not require updater at all, ever. No cvar will be added, as this is a bug, and will be fixed as soon as I get home.
