[TF2] Block Trading

Players with admin flag "a" will not get banned, but their trading partner will. (Not fixable, sorry)

ConVars

• sm_blocktrading_enable "1" - Enables Block Trading
• sm_blocktrading_allow_spec "1" - Allow spectators to trade
• sm_blocktrading_craft "0" - Allows crafting (1) or disallows it (0)

Well that's just mean.

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

Well, item_found is the only way to know that the player traded. I made this because some players think my servers are trade servers...

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

Some suggested feature additions:
-Different punishments (kick, shorter/longer ban)
-Maybe a warning system? 3 strikes and you're out?
-Minimum player level for plugin to become active?

Also, for the admin immunity part:
I'm not sure if this will work, but some testing can confirm it.
If a trade is detected, and the user is an admin, the next trade detected will not be punished.
If a trade is detected, and the user is not an admin, look for the immediate next trade event, and if that user is not an admin, ban both users, else, do nothing to either.

I'm not sure how long the delay between trades can be. I've never seen it be more than less than a second, but I'd have to assume it could be longer. I doubt on non-trade servers you'd see so many trades that they'd overlap each other.

Why not just move the traders to spectator? That way, they're not dead weight for their team.

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

this plugin is so AWESOME.
and TFItemFound very usefully to me xD.

EDIT:
and maybe need some and some safe seconds after setup? what if setup is too short...

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

I can only detect that one player traded after he traded, it's not possible to know that he is trading.

I posted it on the Snippets section. I'll add that feature in the next version.

I'm gonna implement that in the next version, when I have time.

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

by the way
about TFItemFound
in logs I've got -1 value together with 2 (trade)
what it's mean? :S

and what about immunity for VIP's? :3 (cvar to store an aflags)

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

Well, sometimes when you trade you also find something. And the times of the finding and the trade are different.

Also, it's from itemlogger, isn't? It doesn't support all item_found methods yet.

Re: [TF2] Block Trading
 

it's from my edit in TF2_Stats :D
just added field to item logging ...
