CVARs:

Code:

revengestone_version: version number, for tracking (don't change)

sm_gravestones_mode (2) Mode of Operation [0-4]*

sm_gravestones_alert (5) Duration of Notification Popups [0-20]

sm_gravestones_distance (300) Max distance gravestones will be visible on hud from [50+]

sm_gravestones_time (600) Max time gravestones will exist for (in seconds) [0+]

sm_gravestones_bots (1) Allow bots to spawn gravestones [0/1]

Modes of Operation:

Disabled: [0]: Nothing will spawn, hud will not update.
Every Death: [Ratio between 0 and 1]: Chance that stone will drop on a death, (0.25) is 25%, (0.5) is 50%, (1.0) is 100%.
Revenge: [2]: Stones will drop only on revenge kills.
Domination: [3]: Stones will drop only on domination kills.
Revenge+Domination: [4]: Stones will drop on both revenge and domination kills.

When a player dies, an alert with the players name for (sm_gravestones_alert) will be sent to players within viewable range (sm_gravestones_distance) of the marker. When viewing a marker, the line will be displayed for as long as they are looking at it, and are within range (sm_gravestones_distance) of if it.

The props are not solid, and shouldn't interfere with combat in any way. They will always spawn pointing downward, but will adjust their angle to terrain normals.

The player's name/epitaph index is stored inside of the gravestone prop itself, so it will persist, even if the player leaves the server, or reconnects.

Configuration File::
The configuration file consists of lines of text that will appear on the hud to clients looking at the stones.
use * to insert the player's name, use | to insert a newline (line break)
Do not use newlines in the configuration file (blank text lines) it just reads each one into the array for now :S
The file is read into pre-allocated arrays of fixed size. If you need many more, or want them to be extremely long, you may have to recompile the SP and change the defines at the top.

Code:

Here lies *|Who could replace you?|Anyone with a gun

Translates to:

Code:

Here lies Player

Who could replace you?

Anyone with a gun

Commands:

sm_gravestones_reload: (Rcon) Reloads the configuration file, changes take effect immediately. Markers will be preserved and updated if content is added or changed, but if lines are removed, all existing markers will be destroyed.
sm_gravestones: Toggles automatic display of text for users. When automatic display is enabled, users must press alt-fire while looking at a marker to view the text. Name notifications on spawn are also disabled in this mode.

Would be nice for each kill to have one of those. Can be used in arena for instance to know where everyone died.

ehh you could i guess

Code:

        if(client && IsClientInGame(client))

        {

                if (GetEventInt(event, "death_flags") & TF_DEATHFLAG_KILLERREVENGE)

                {

                        SpawnProp(client);

                }

        }

It could be changed to dominating, or assist, or just remove the check to do it every time. It'll still remove the old one.

Re: [TF2] Gravestone Revenge Markers - 5/6/2013

Updated to fix some minor issues, and provide a bit better error handling.

I could also add convars to change how it operates, if you guys would want that sort of thing.

- any death
- revenge death
- assisted revenge death (don't think this is important, since it only spawns one, and the revenge would trigger it anyway)
- dominated death

could also make a cvar to change the hud colors =/

this would be much better if you used the little pop up boxes that tf2 uses for what i think are hints? like when you gib a player and it says "Your kidney" and stuff right above your gibs?

someone did a plugin for that that also had msyql support to it but i dunno where its at anymore.

Re: [TF2] Gravestone Revenge Markers - 5/6/2013

Dunno how to implement that, but it would be better than hud messages.

yes, this is what i was talking about thanks for finding this

Re: [TF2] Gravestone Revenge Markers - 5/6/2013

Yeah, i should be able to use this, i can just make the bubbles pop up above the stones. I assume newlines are supported? It would suck if they arn't

It looks like the annotations are designed to be temporary. They zoom in and then dissapear. They also don't support newlines.
This could mabye be useful for just showing the client's name over the stone when it's spawned though.
