[TF2] Dodgeball (1.0)
by Damizean, based on Voogru's mod
A game mode inspired in the classic Dodgeball. On this mode, all classes except the Pyro are disabled and the respawn is limited to the same rules as the Arena game mode. Each Dodgeball map has a set of spawn points from where rocket projectiles are fired. These projectiles are designed to follow a target player until the player is killed or the rocket has been deflected.
Based on Voogru's original plugin and similar to Asherkin's plugin, I tried to design this one as flexible as possible without having to mess with the plugin's code.
- All the parameters of the rocket classes are fully configurable: model, sounds, speed, damage, turn rate, etc.
- Each rocket uses a small events system wich can be used to extend the functionality of the rockets by the execution of custom commands, so if you can write Sourcemod plugins, you can easily extend the functionality of the rockets.
- You can independently setup the spawn points by defining their full target name, in case you want an specific spawn point to have a different spawn chances table.
The configuration included with the plugin contains a
base rocket setup and a sample
nuke rocket type (along with the model and it's 3DS Max source).
Changelog
TODO
- Extend functionality so map makers can enable/disable spawn points through the entities User Outputs.
How do I install it?
Place the files in the zip on the correct folders:
- The files placed at the gameserver folder should be placed your game server.
- The files placed at the fastdownload folder should be placed in your fast download server.
Remember, this plugin will activate itself only on maps that are prefixed as
tfdb_, as long as the
tf_dodgeball_enabled cvar is set to 1.
Cvars
Some basic cvars are included, but most of the parameter settings is done through the configuration file.
- tf_dodgeball_version - Version of the plugin.
- tf_dodgeball_enabled <0/1> - Is the plugin enabled?
- tf_dodgeball_enablecfg <path> - Config file to be executed when enabling the game mode. Default: sourcemod/dodgeball_enable.cfg
- tf_dodgeball_disablecfg <path> - Config file to be executed when disabling the game mode. Default: sourcemod/dodgeball_disable.cfg
Config Files
In order to setup the settings of the game mode, the plugin looks for a configuration file, wich should be located at
/addons/sourcemod/configs/dodgeball/general.cfg. It contains the general settings, rocket classes and spawn point classes to be used in all the maps. In addition to this one, the plugin will try to look for a map specific configuration file, located at
/addons/sourcemod/configs/dodgeball/<map name>.cfg, in wich you can override the default settings or even add new map-specific rocket classes.
The meaning of every parameter of the configuration file is explained on the file itself. The example configuration file is the following:
PHP Code:
// -------------------------------------------------------
// Events
// -------------------------------------------------------
//
// In order to further customize the rocket types, you can
// set a command to be executed when a certain event happens
// with a dodgeball rocket.
//
// The events that are right now implemented are the following:
//
// on spawn- When a rocket spawns.
// on deflect- A client has deflected a rocket.
// on kill- One of the rockets has killed the client.
// on explode- Same as on kill, only triggered once.
//
// The possible parameters passed for the commands are the following.
//
// @name - Name of the projectile type
// @rocket - Rocket entity index
// @owner - Owner client userid
// @target - Target client userid
// @dead - Last dead client
// @speed - Speed of the rocket
// @deflections - Number of rocket deflections
//
// -------------------------------------------------------
// Commands
// -------------------------------------------------------
//
// For using with the events system, the plugin has two useful
// commands if you want to make kickass explosion blasts.
//
// tf_dodgeball_explosion <client>
// Shows a huge explosion at the location of the specified client.
//
// tf_dodgeball_shockwave <client> <damage> <force> <radius> <falloff>
// Wich applies a huge shockwave at the location of the client.
//
// If you are able to write plugins, you can include your custom
// commands too!

Resource files
The plugin implements a resources precacher like the one in the Equipment Manager plugin. The sound files will be automatically precached and added to the download list, and for each model file the plugin will automatically search for a .res file with the same name, in wich every line is a dependency for the model.
For example, with the model called "nuke.mdl", the plugin will search for a file called "nuke.mdl.res". It'll precache and add to the downloads table all the files listed on it:
Code:
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_blu.vmt
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_blu.vtf
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_red.vmt
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_red.vtf
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_neutral.vmt
materials\models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke_neutral.vtf
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.dx80.vtx
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.dx90.vtx
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.mdl
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.phy
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.sw.vtx
models\custom\dodgeball\nuke\nuke.vvd
Remember! Set the proper whitelist entries if you're going to use the nuke on a pure server! The locations of the files are the ones listed above.

Where do I get maps?
This plugin is compatible with the maps created for Asherkin's TFDodgeball. Find maps on his thread:
