This plugin now requires SourceMod 1.7 or newer.
If you just want to force one holiday on, use the tf_forced_holiday cvar instead with one of these values:
- 1: Birthday (same as setting tf_birthday 1)
- 2: Halloween
- 3: Christmas
- 5: End of the Line (bonus ducks?)
- 6: Valentines (?)
- 8: Full Moon
- 11: April Fools
9 and
10 are used for internal housekeeping for Halloween/Full Moon/Valentines day. Don't use them directly.
Three more holidays exist but it is unknown what they do:
- 4: Community Update
- 7: Meet the Pyro
8: Spy vs. Engy War (not implemented in this plugin) Removed
Requirements
Team Fortress 2
SourceMod 1.7.0 or newer to run
This plugin is known to not work properly on MvM maps
Description
Team Fortress 2 now supports multiple holidays running at once. However,
tf_forced_holiday only allows you to set Halloween mode or Birthday mode on, and doesn't work anymore anyway.
This plugin was written to replace the
[TF2] Holidays and
[TF2] Force Halloween plugins.
Changelog
1.10.2 - Now compiles under SourceMod 1.7 or newer. No longer needs to be recompiled on every holiday change.
1.10.1 - Compiled against custom tf2.inc to fix holiday numbering. Added
tfh_endoftheline, which may control bonus ducks.
1.10.0 - Compiled against SM 1.6.3-git4801 to fix holiday numbering. Removed map list, removed precache code... both were no longer used and shrinks the plugin's footprint significantly. tfh_updater 0 can be used to disable Updater support. tfh_normalhealth 1 will prevent this plugin from changing health kits to their holiday versions.
1.9.0 - Updated map list, added April Fools holiday. Precache code is no longer active as Valve fixed it in 2013. Now manipulates tf_forced_holiday cvar when Full Moon and Halloween are on in order to fix Zombie costumes.
1.8.1 - Fix a crash where a ammokit model isn't being precached.
1.8.0 - Adds tfh_valentines and tfh_fullmoon. tfh_halloween 2 is now deprecated. Also fixed halloween costumes not working on Full Moon and Halloween.
1.7.1 - 1.6.0 with a new version number. Removes
tfh_mannvsmachine as it's no longer present in the game binary. Also fixed halloween costumes not working on Full Moon and Halloween.
1.7.0 - Added
tfh_mannvsmachine for the Mann Vs. Machine holiday, fixed other holidays that got broken by the 2012/08/15 update.

1.4.1 - Added a missing model and some sounds to the koth_viaduct_event precache list.
1.4 - Added
tfh_winter for the Winter holiday, fixed other holidays that got broken by the 2011/12/15 update.

This plugin does not use its own config file so that you can override this on a per-map basis.
The Get Plugin link doesn't work, download the tfforceholidays.smx file instead. This is due to the Updater support added in 1.6.0 that allows clients who have the Updater plugin to auto-update to newer releases.
