What's this?
SM:Conquest is a rewrite of L.Duke's abandoned MM:S plugin "Conquest" in SourcePawn. I didn't have access to his code nor did i actively play his plugin, so it's mainly based off videos and descriptions of others.
This game modification removes the ordinary bombing/rescue objectives and adds flags at preset positions to the map. A player can conquer a flag by standing near to it. The team which controls all flags first wins the round.
Some flags require more than one player near to it to get conquered.

How to play
Joining players choose a team as normal and are offered to choose a
class. The classes don't provide any special abilities like speed or extra health by default - they only differ in the weapons. (Server admins may add those though) Each class has it's default
weapon set and more options with "better" weapons, players can purchase for money.
It's possible to repick a class/weapon set with
sm_class or just
!class in chat.
Depending on the server config, players are able to use
sm_buy (or
!buy) to open up a buying menu with different pistols or items to purchase.
The flags are colored depending on the owning team. Blue for CT, white for neutral and red for terrorists respective. Players will have to defend the flags, their team already conquered, while trying to get all the other flags.
Each player is able to disable some features individually by typing
!settings in chat.
Special HUD in CS:S only
Players who would like to have a better overview of the flag status are offered to download an optional client fix, which enables the HudMsg usermessage again in CS:S, allowing plugins to write text at any position on the screen.
Download the clientfix.zip at the bottom and follow the instructions in the readme.txt.
Server Admins
This mod is packed with some preset configs for random maps, which still have to get optimized! Some CS:S configs are a straight convertion from the original Conquest map configs, so the
trigger zones may not be optimal.
You can add and manage flags on-the-fly ingame with the admin command
sm_flagadmin or edit the respective /configs/smconquest/[css|csgo]/maps/de_mapname.cfg manually.
Map Config layout
There are several keys you can set manually, but i encourage you to use the ingame admin menu to manage your flags, if you don't want a certain special value.
There are 2 special keys for use in custom maps.
Mappers have the option to create
logic_relays on their maps and specify the targetname in the smconquest map config. When a team captures a flag the respective logic_relay receives the "Trigger" input, so you can interact in your map, like opening new passages, if a team controls a certain amount of flags etc. You can check out cq_king_b2 by L.Duke for an example (The small overview map at each spawn).
The following is a short example of a config file.
Keys in
italic are optional and load with default values if unset.
Code:
"FlagsAreas"
{
"0"
{
"description" "Lower Blue" // The name of the flag to show in chat on capture
"position" "-1663.0 2001.0 -503.0" // The xyz coordinates of the flag
"team" "3" // The default team, this flag already belongs to on round start (0=unassigned, 2=T, 3=CT) (Default: 0)
"num_to_cap" "1" // The amount of players required to conquer this flag (Default: 1)
"time_to_cap" "3" // The time players have to stay near this flag until they conquer (Default: 5)
"rotation" "0" // The rotation angle of the flag (Default: 0)
"zonemins" "-100.0 -100.0 -20.0" // The mins bound of the trigger_multiple around the flag (This is the default value)
"zonemaxs" "100.0 100.0 150.0" // The maxs bound of the trigger_multiple around the flag (This is the default value)
"ct_capture_relay" "lowerct_flag_ct" // Name of logic relay to trigger when CTs capture this flag (Default: "")
"t_capture_relay" "lowerct_flag_t" // Name of logic relay to trigger when Ts capture this flag (Default: "")
}
"1"
{
...
}
...
}
You are able to add as many flags you want on a map.
Managing Classes and Weapon Sets
Opening the
configs/smconquest/[css|csgo]/smconquest_classes.cfg you're able to modify/add/remove an unlimited amount of classes and respective weapon sets to the menu. The config file is commented and self-explanatory, you should only check to set a default class at any time. If you specify a default class for only one team, remember to set a default class for the other team either.
As of 1.1 there are some special keys beside the default
weapon_.
- "item_kevlar" - Set the amount of kevlar that class has
- "item_assaultsuit" - Same as kevlar just with helmet
- "health" - Set the health of the class
- "speed" - Set the speed. 1.0 is normal speed. 2.0 would be as twice as fast
- "admin_flags" - Restrict the class or weaponset to admins with certain flag(s). (admin levels)
You may want to assign a model to a class by specifying the model files in
configs/smconquest/[css|csgo]/smconquest_models.cfg and setting the "model" key in the smconquest_classes.cfg to the section name of the model. You only need to specify the path to the .mdl file, if you use an existant model and set "no_download" to 1.
You can change the flag model and win overlay materials in
smconquest_models.cfg too.
Managing the Buymenu
Opening the
configs/smconquest/[css|csgo]/smconquest_buymenu.cfg you're able to modify/add/remove an unlimited amount of categories with an unlimited amount of items per category. There are no special keys, so you should be ready to go with just reading the file.
You're able to add
item_kevlar and
item_assaultsuit either, but the kevlar amount is at the fixed value of 100. You're just able to specify the price as with the other weapons.
Change the sounds
You may change the sounds the plugin uses. Editing the
configs/smconquest/[css|csgo]/smconquest_sounds.cfg will add the sounds to the downloadables, precache them and play at the certain events. Leaving a sound empty disables it. If you use sounds, that are already shipped with the game, set
"is_game_sound" to
"1". This disables the downloading and check for existance.
