L4D Score/Team Manager 1.1.1

Now there is an easy way to manage the teams (who is on what teams), and the order that teams are played in.

This plugin provides functionality to:

• unscramble the teams after a map change
• change the order of which team goes survivor first
• swap players around to a different team
• swap an entire team with the other team
• see the scores for previous levels and campaign scores at any time
• swap or reset the campaign scores

Commands
Admin (BAN flag):

• sm_swapmenu - bring up a menu to swap players between survivors or infected
• sm_swap <player1> [player2] ... [playerN] - swap all listed players to opposite teams
• sm_swapto <player1> [player2] ... [playerN] <teamnum> - swap all listed players to specified team (1,2,3)
• sm_swapteams - swaps the infected and survivor teams
• sm_swapscores - swaps the campaign scores
• sm_resetscores - resets the campaign scores to 0/0

Anyone:

• sm_printscores - prints the scores for each previously played map, and the campaign scores
• sm_scores - displays the total scores for each map for both teams in a menu similar to sm_admin

Cvars

• l4d_team_manager_ver - the version of this plugin
• l4d_team_order - who goes survivor first after a map change?
  • 0 - default behaviour (highest score goes survivor first)
  • 1 - inverse default behaviour (highest score goes infected first)
  • 2 - classic behavior (teams are never swapped)
  • 3 - ABABA (teams are swapped every map)
  • 4 - AABBB (teams are swapped on 3rd map, ala CAL)
  • 5 - maps 1-4 highest goes survivor, 5 highest goes infected first

l4d_team_order 5 appears to be broken atm, I suggest avoiding it. Usually the highest score goes survivor first, which means that if the winning team from maps 1-4 wins the first round on the finale, the game is now over. Whatever the other team does, it doesn't matter because they already lost.

By having the losing team go survivor first on the finale, this will keep the full game going because they still can win the finale as survivors, and then have the potential to stop the other team as infected.

INSTALLATION

• Install Left 4 Downtown Extension 0.3.0 or later
• Place l4dscores.smx into addons/sourcemod/plugins

Note: This plugin is probably incompatible with any other plugins that changes a player's team at the beginning of the map, so you should probably avoid using those other plugins. I was using Unscrambler myself during the testing of this and found that it would almost completely reverse my team changes every time.

CUSTOM MENU
There is a menu invoked with sm_swapmenu, but it may not suit everyone. You can additional use this snippet, the full instructions are here:
