[TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

http://teklinks.org/images/thrillertaunt.png
I've been enjoying the Halloween Event this past week but the downside to normal play is the thriller taunt overriding taunt kills and events. This fixes that. This is also useful outside of halloween when using tf_forced_holiday cvar or the Force Holidays plugin on your server as well.

Some various notes:

• Thriller taunt chance is normally 40%
• The thriller taunt is only active during the Halloween holiday, not full moon.

Usage:
Plugin is autonomous, it's always on until you unload it.

Change log:
To install, copy thriller.smx to plugins/ and thriller.plugin.txt to gamedata/.

Nice job!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Ooooh it's not active during full moon?
Well this is just awesome then. Thanks a lot!

I'm getting this error on sm exts list...

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

I'm compiling on CentOS 6 x64 and it seems to be setting the ABI version to UNIX - Linux (3) when your system expects UNIX - System V (0) in the ELF header. I used brandelf to change set it to 0 and it runs fine on here. Try the attached version and do let me know if it loads alright then I'll update the first post.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Seems to of done the trick. No errors and the taunt isn't showing! Lovely work :)

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Great, I really didn't want to set up a VM to compile these. First post has been updated. :)

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Easiest way is to add "-Wl,--hash-style=sysv" to the linker flags in the Makefile.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Do I need to change map or can I use sm exts load thriller? Doing so, I get this error "Could not locate offset to apply patch". Windows OS.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

It can be loaded at anytime. It's odd it doesn't find the signature on windows because it does on my windows server. I'd just make sure the gamedata is present and accounted for and restart the server.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

I think that may be correct. One server is woorking well now and I dont want to reboot the other as it's full.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

I am getting this error:

Mod. [12] <FAILED> file "thriller.ext.2.ep2v.so": Could not find interface: ISourceMod


I am using SM 1.3.8, does that matter? 1.4 keeps breaking on TF2

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

pheadxdll, I would suggest checking the byte you are about to patch to reduce the chance of the server crashing when a tf2 update modifies the function you are patching.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

SourceMod 1.4 is the latest stable version, you should try and update. :)

I seem to be an anti-splicing nazi.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Great extension pheadxdll :)
This has reminded me of something I was looking for in the past. A method to detect what type of taunt a player used. Would you be able to create a forward using this method to do just that?

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

While I'm not the extension's author, this extension just patches the server's memory to not allow the Thriller taunt. It doesn't actually do any detection of the taunt type.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Yup, that cannot be done with this extension, but it's not impossible. Side note: Extension broke on windows and needs the updated gamedata from the latest version.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

I thought when I looked at the gamedata that the offsets looked wrong, but I don't use this extension so I wasn't sure (I just force Full Moon mode).

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Hi, the extension is down again after the new xmas update. Running on Windows..

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Yup, got your fix:

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Many thanks!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Doest work with latest sourcemod, thriller.txt, etc.
"[SM] Extension thriller.ext.so failed to load: Could not locate signature to apply patch."

Question: This disable the taunt on fully halloween too?

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Update broke it (linux only), use this new gamedata and restart. Yes, it disables the taunt on halloween.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Not showing an errors on sm exts list. But we appear to be doing the thriller taunt after the new update, is it a bug?

Eh nevermind, I changed the setting on that Force Holidays plugin, seems to of done the trick!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Is this a private plugin atm?

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

No... the link is on the first page in the first post.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Think this needs an update again, getting the same error as before :(

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

I've got same problem D:

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Replace thriller.txt from the latest version in the first post and restart your server. That should do it!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Thanks for the update!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Updated gamedata for last night, tested windows and linux working.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Thanks again for the updates!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Haha, I was just about to inquire about an update. Thanks for your work!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Update to kill the thriller taunt for this year's halloween. (Only stops the random thriller taunt) Enjoy!

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Thanks once again for the continued updates pheadxdll :)

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

im getting this even with latest version and game data :[

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

What is the OS of the server, and just to say it again, copy all files and do a server restart.

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

got it working, the gamedata i had was wrong silly me ><

Re: [TF2] No Thriller Taunt
 

Updated gamedata!
