[TF2] Buff Banner Resupplier 1.0
 

VALVe fixed the issue, so this plugin is no longer necessary.

[TF2] Buff Banner Resupplier 1.0

Seems VALVe decided to nerf the Buff Banner by resetting the rage meter to 0 on a resupply locker. Since my players don't like much this, I made this small plugin to reapply the rage amount by recording the value prior to it's reset on the regeneration, and setting it again afterwards.

Reminder to self: Next time look into the update changelog.

Installation:

• Download the plugin and place it on your plugins folder in Sourcemod.

Changelog:

• 1.0.
  • Initial release

Ahem, not to be rude but the change was intentional and in the patch notes. Valve nerfed the banner to do do just that, reset to 0 on resupply.

Still its a great idea for people that don't want it reset. Now we just need a plugin to regen it for us. ;o)

Owww, seriously? I thought it was a mistake on their part XD Oh well, I guess I'll have to change the plugin's name :/ Thanks.

I'm not sure why they decided to remove the rage meter on resupply, they don't do this for ubercharge meters after all.

Re: [TF2] Buff Banner Resupplier 1.0
 

They've done this to avoid a civilian bug... Very interesting plugin, maybe I'll use it.

I'm having trouble of thinking how this could be abused or otherwise cause screw-ups, should you check for m_bRageDraining?

I've yet to check if that boolean does what its name proclaims, but when the rage is draining out because they've just used it, it'd be safest to not alter the meter.

Re: [TF2] Buff Banner Resupplier 1.0
 

Let me just correct myself, Valve had changed this because of the possibility to go civilian as soldier and also because people could exploit it and charging the rage meter with the shotgun. Are we safe from this 2 things with this plugin?

Re: [TF2] Buff Banner Resupplier 1.0
 

Anyone know how to create a plugin that would regenerate the buff banner automaticlly without having to kill to build up the rate? I was thinking about something like the hpregenerator or the engineer metal generator plugins.
