TF2 Ammopacks
 

Description

This plugin allows engineers to drop Ammopacks on death or with secondary Wrench fire. You can choose between 3 modes, the first one will only make Engineers drop an Ammopack on death. The second mode will allow engineers to use their Wrench with the alternative fire to drop Ammopacks and pay for them with Metal. And the last mode brings the first and second mode together.

The plugin is an appendix to my TF2 Medipacks plugin.

Admins are also able to change an Engineers current Metal amount/level and set it to a value between 0 and 200.

Thanks to [gh]ferret who helped me a lot getting this thing done. Another thanks goes to GreyScale who pointed me into the right direction about how to find the current weapon. And the last thanks goes to GODJonez for helping me with the vector stuff and pointing me into the right directions, too. I hope you enjoy this plugin!

Awesome idea :up:

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

Hello, Me, the persistent issue person. I have your plugin working, near perfect except one issue.. After an X amount of time, the server crashes with the use of both this and medipacks. It seems to be caused after a certain amount of medipacks/ammopacks have been spawned... Even if they are removed from the server. I.E. picked up, or degrade. Thanks.... P.S. Its about 100~ or so and it crashes.

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

Only when they're combined?


This should alltogethor be one plugin.

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

I posted in the other thread about the crash issue.

ThatGuy, no. I think one of the key features of SourceMod is it's modularity and the fact that you can deactivate everything you don't need. Both of my plugins do something on each GameFrame and add to the servers performance. Even if they are combined, the same 2 checks would run in a GameFrame. You see what I mean?

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

Again tested with our pair of 32 slot servers and they work a treat with this addon, having the extra ammo sure helps!

Again, menu integration woudl be a nice thing to add, but thats all :-)

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

I am actually working on getting a TFC Remakes Server setup on my Dedicated box (running 2fort, dustbowl, and the good TFC remakes) and I think it would be a lot of cool to use this. Is there any way to set it so anyone can drop an ammo pack, but to prevent people from helping an engi get an SG up very quickly make it so the ammo packs use all of the persons ammo or something? Thought it would be kind of cool to bring that aspect of TFC back on a TFC remakes server :-P

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

Engineers cant give ammo packs in plenty of they dont have ammo ;)

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

Im just talking about would it be possible to make it so when anyone presses G, it drops an ammo pack, but takes away like half of their ammo unless its an Engi, then it would just take away his metal?

Re: TF2 Ammopacks
 

NATO, is there anyway you could add that or tell me how to?
