Change Log

Quote:

(27/09/09): Version 1.3.0
-----------------------
+ Added support for custom events via .cfg file
+ Added join message to display current alltalk status
- Removed event cvars in lieu of .cfg file
! Fixed threshold setting overriding event setting
! Fixed non-attack/defend maps not calling teamplay_setup_finished event. This effectively means you can now have alltalk on during the setup round and not have it break if there is no setup round. (TF2 only)

None.

Notes

The way this works now is with a config file called simple-alltalkmanager_events.cfg. This file is a kvfile that has all the events you wish to hook, the reason string, and the setting. I included an example file for TF2, but you can customize it to your desired events and settings.

Here is an example of the structure:

Code:

"game_events"

{

        "event_name"

        {

                "reason"        "Some Reason"

                "setting"        "1"

        }

}

An example of this for the event round start in TF2 would be:

Code:

"game_events"

{

        "teamplay_round_start"

        {

                "reason"        "Round Start"

                "setting"        "1"

        }

}

The reason string is what is printed to the players when alltalk is changed because of the event. A list of the known game events is at the wiki here. Note that not all the events listed will actually fire, but if they do fire, they will in the order that is listed there.

To better explain how this plugin actually works, lets use an example based upon the _events.cfg file supplied with the plugin and the plugin's default settings.

Dustbowl map loads
More than eight players join the server, alltalk is turned OFF
teamplay_round_start fires and alltalk is turned ON (attack/defend map)
teamplay_setup_finished fires and alltalk is turned OFF (attack/defend map)
teamplay_round_win fires and alltalk is turned ON
teamplay_round_start fires and alltalk is turned ON (attack/defend map)
teamplay_setup_finished fires and alltalk is turned OFF (attack/defend map)
Players leave server and there are now less than eight players alltalk is turned ON
teamplay_round_win fires and alltalk is left ON
teamplay_round_start fires and alltalk is left ON (attack/defend map)
teamplay_setup_finished fires and alltalk is left ON (attack/defend map)
More than eight players join the server, alltalk is turned OFF
teamplay_round_win fires and alltalk is turned ON
2Fort map loads
More than eight players join the server, alltalk is turned OFF
teamplay_round_start fires and alltalk is turned OFF (NOT an attack/defend map)
If you have the teamplay_setup_finished event in the config file, it will take this setting on a non-attack/defend map since there is no setup period (only in TF2)
teamplay_suddendeath_begin fires and alltalk is turned ON
teamplay_round_win fires and alltalk is left ON
teamplay_round_start fires and alltalk is turned OFF (NOT an attack/defend map)
Players leave server and there are now less than eight players alltalk is turned ON
etc.

If you notice, the player threshold can override whatever event state the game is in. If the threshold says turn it on, it will turn on, regardless of the event state; however if the threshold says to turn it off, and the event state says it should be on, it will be on. Additionally, understanding the order of the events will ensure you have the right setting when the event fires.
