[TF2] Add Observer Point
 
1 Attachment(s)
Many custom maps are created without info_observer_points (those various cameras you look through in spec mode), and as soon as a player dies, or no-one is left alive on your team, the server crashes.
This may be because the game tries to give those players waiting to respawn, an info_observer_point to look through.

Unsure about other mods, but it's a problem in TF2.

This plugin adds a random artificial info_observer_point, if the map doesn't have one. It may not be pointed in the right direction, but it will prevent server crashes.

Installation
  • Copy sm_observerpoint.smx to addons/sourcemod/plugins

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I had to give thanks for this fantastic mod. This bug was the reason that my server was crashing continually! I didn't even notice that I was always dead when it happened until reading the details of your plugin.

Thankyou!

Hey, I'd love to be able to use this since my server is having the crash-after-death problem, but I can't seem to find the plugins folder. I searched all of SRCDS but found nothing. Help pls?

It requires that SourceMod be installed.

Re: [TF2] Add Observer Point
 
And wow, after all this time, I find this (in a FF2 post of all places)....which may have been the reason why some of my servers were crashing on custom maps with only 1 or 2 people on at the time of crash.

Thank you for this.

Re: [TF2] Add Observer Point
 
I wish to thank you strontiumdog for not only researching and identifying a solution to this issue, but for actually posting the info here for others to benefit from. I have been dealing with this problem for weeks and knew it was a map issue but had no idea how to fix it.

Because you took the extra few minutes to post your findings and your plugin, your still helping people like me 5 years later.

Take care and thanks again. You made my day...

...more like it should be something that Valve should fix in the game engine.

Maybe, but the problem is only on custom map. We are supposed to run only "normal" map. So for Valve, there is any problem, I think...

Then why does Valve go out of their way to facilitate other aspects of creating/running custom maps?
