[L4D / L4D2] Lockdown System | 1.7 [Final] : Jan. 30, 2019 |
 

Description:

This plugin aims to shut the ending saferoom doors tight in an attempt to create a mini holdout scenario.

When someone tries to open them, it will stay closed until a certain amount of time has passed. All the survivors need to do is to survive the incoming waves of mob that got attracted to the sound.

ConVars:

• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_version (Default: 1.7)
  |Version of the plugin.|
• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_announce [0 / 1] (Default: 1)
  |Enable/disable announcements made by the plugin?|

  |How long does the Lockdown system prevail?|
• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_mobs [1 - 5] (Default: 2)
  |Amount of infected mobs to call upon the system's initialization.|
• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_menu [0 / 1] (Default: 0)
  |Should we let players decide on which system should be applied when opening saferoom doors?|
• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_tank_demolition [0 / 1] (Default: 1)
  |Allow/disallow the plugin to create a somewhat Sacrifice finale scenario where 3 tanks will be spawned?|
• lockdown_system-l4d(2)_type [0 - 3] (Default: 0)
  |Type of Lockdown System: 0 = Random, 1 = Improved, 2 & 3 = Default|

Commands:
None. :3

Bugs:
None. :3

Installation:

• Place the .smx file in SourceMod's plugin folder.
  
  (If reconfiguring, get the .sp file and place it in SourceMod's scripting folder. For the .inc file, place it in the include folder found inside.)

Notes:

1. Plugin will no longer work on maps that are bugged or have the church guy entity.
2. I have made 2 L4D2 versions: one that depends on Left 4 Downtown 2 extension (A) and the other that does not (B).
   
   Keep in mind that I will ignore bug reports that comes with the L4DT2 independent one unless it is about the systems malfunctioning.
3. If you want a fix for the fourth map in Death Toll, just put this in a Stripper config file named after the map name.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

I've always felt we should punish the individual over punishing the entire team for rushing.

Good work on the plugin, but I'll throw some suggestions out there.

1. Blinding the solo rusher
2. Vomitting the solo rusher
3. Temporary give him limping health until he returns to the team, then restore his original HP after damages he might take
4. Teleport the solo rusher back

Course, all that would be dependent on setting a certain range at which to inflict these punishments.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

I've actually thought of coding an anti-rush plugin that basically only allows the survivors to get a certain distance from each other, configurable. If they do go beyond that limit send a message to the offender then set a timer, detecting the furthest player ahead and not behind. If they get back within distance cancel the timer. The timer would be designed to trigger something on the offending player, until other survivors catch up within the distance limit. Also add cvar options for other things like optional freeze, bile, blind, mob spawn, etc...making it highly configurable to the tastes of the people using it. If someone else gets to it before me great...lol...i've never really liked how the existing anti-rush plugins always lock the saferoom as a solution. It should be more dynamic to the offending players and not the whole team...possibly even set it up so after so many offenses by the player they either get killed, kicked, or banned...In my opinion this method would be highly effective...

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

Agree with all you said here this would be the ideal rusher fix if it could be made so the team in general sticks together. My only concern would be a scenario where the team is over halfway through the map gets attacked and is been crushed and nearly all the players are incapped. One player with some health remaining makes the decision it's better option to try run and make it to the saferoom than to try save the team and most probably go down too and fail the mission.So he runs off only to find so far ahead the anti rush plugin punishing him and forcing him back to his dying buddies and himself finally overwhelmed by the onslaught.
So any potential plugin would need to know situations like this where somehow its ok to rush and the antirush would not trigger at all. Idk how complicated that would be or if its even possible at all?
Anything like this that worked well i imagine would be most welcome by not only myself but a lot of people who get frustrated with rushers.

I too am no fan of end saferoom door locks or spawn mobs etc because by then regardless of rushers being punished it's all too late the damage to the rest of the team has already been done.
Also giving end saferoom door keys randomly to one player concerns me if the player recieving the key is a troll and refuses to open the door. Not good.

Ideally rushers would be stopped the moment they start rushing. Once they realize they can't just run off and are forced to stick with the main team then we might just have ourselves the almost perfect anti rush plugin.

Other things to mention: Dont punish with vomit in the face. Some players use that thing that stops vomit affecting their view, so this would be no deterrant at all.
Forcing them back to the main team would be my preference but as i already mentioned i'm concerned about how that might be bad for the whole team in certain situations.

Anyway some good ideas Mastermind420 i like them.:up:
I just wish someone could make this.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

I may decide to do it once i'm done polishing Multiple Equipments. Maybe have it take into account if player is incap and how much health they have to determine whether or not to detach them from the distance limit...allowing them to either run for the saferoom or help the downed players. I've got some ideas

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

Sounds great although i'm not entirely sure teleporting players back is the way to go.
I quite liked and preferred MasterMind420's idea of restricting the rusher somehow. Once they got so far ahead they would be penalized with some sort of damage to them until they retreated back to the other survivors.I think what is needed though is not just punishment but something that stops them run any further even if they try. Like some kind of distance restriction that only allows them so far ahead of the survivors then it triggers and it's almost like they are hitting an invisible wall as they can't run any further. Then the punishment kicks in to make them retreat also.

Again it must be noted as i already said any plugin would need to take into account certain situations where the whole team is almost downed and rush is not blocked to allow the last player/s to reach the safe room and complete the mission.

Anything like this will help as rushing is a problem on many servers.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

You still trying to figure out how your gonna code the distance, cravenge? I'm just wondering because if you haven't looked at the plugin Self Standup by Gsix, it may be worth a look, he's got some good code in there for distance and clearance radius...i'm sure it can give you an idea or be modified to suit your needs.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED
 

I can't open saferoom door and erros log have this

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Anti-Runner System UPDATED

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Why is there a limit to how long the door can be opening? I like a good 2 Minutes wait time...

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

I don't quite get the meaning of what you're saying. Please explain further but briefly.

Re: [L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Doesn't work for l4d1, k thanks.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Seems to be working for Left 4 Dead 2, but I have not tested Left 4 Dead. Can you disable this for Versus games?

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

thanks for this update Cravenge

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

c10m3 door bug
c10m4 door bug

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

By default, the map with the church guy in the saferoom is excluded due to the bugs it produces. I've also encountered the saferoom not opening glitch in the main street map. I'll check it now.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

thanks ! i like u plugin's , this plugin a good idea & Rescue Vehicle ETA

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Is really nice plugin Cravenge but any fix on c10m4_mainstreet end saferoom door yet?
It is locked shut on most games and won't open.

:(

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

i can't use this to my server, get bug...
when next round, my server get crash :(
help

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

and when i use this plugin to versus mode, next round is error.. can load :( https://image.prntscr.com/image/jwUI...I0WFiVZyzQ.jpg

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

When will the c10m4 saferoom be fixed? Maybe just disable it for that map?

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Updated under Sourcemod 1.8.x.

This version disables the plugin on the c10m4 saferoom. I would consider this a temporary fix until cravenge can do something about the bug.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

I like this plugin, is just what I was looking for but I have a question does it work for versus? I would like the first door of the shelter also to have shine and that both shines are visible from a considerable distance.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

This is an old problem, but here I leave a solution for the error of the map "c10m4_mainstreet"

c10m4_mainstreet.cfg Place this file in addons/stripper/maps

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

hello sir tested this with no mercy map 1 and round not end after reaching safe room all survivors in safe room but round not end just removed plugin and all fine but goal safe room door is
open :cry:

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Got it. I'm subscribed to this thread anyway so I'll do that as soon as I get an email about your update. :)

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Here is my fixed version for c10m4_mainstreet.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

Could you also make it spawn SI?

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

c10_m4 came across the door bug which after reading older posts seems to been going on for a while and the other two users who posted their "update" which doesnt compile anyway something about a "glow" error

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

The main post has an attachment called "glow.inc" and you have to put that in addons/sourcemod/scripting/include so you can compile the .sp file. Also, my Anti-Speedrunner System already has an improved version of the Lockdown system along with a ton of features.

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

ah thanks man it compiled now

Re: [L4D/L4D2] Lockdown System
 

This plugin has some gamebreaking bugs for versus which must be fixed. The first one is that some saferooms do not end game when door is closed(last saferoom of dead center). The other one is that the tank antifarm is endless, when it gets to zero the number just goes negative.

Can you add lockdown_system-l4d2_b.smx to the attachments?
There is only the "a" version

Hello, nice job. I think this plugin already exists (at least on L4D1)

Oh, I forgot about that.

Yes, I know that. But this one is better and is also less buggy than that.
