A short while ago Valve 'fixed a bug' (much to the horror of the competitive community) where backstabs would not crit on nocrit servers.

This nocrit style was actually preferred by a lot of Spy mains, the swipe/poke/slash animations play quicker.

A lot of people have tried to fix this by simply installing a client-side animation mod. Unfortunately, this solution really is only halfway house.

So, I would like to request a serverside mod that sets backstabs to not crit.

I'll be honest, I have no idea how difficult this would be, but I'm hoping that it's reasonably easy.

Thanks for your time.

SDKHooks_OnTakeDamage, or out the damage crit flag(~=) when it's a TF_CUSTOM_BACKSTAB(or what ever it's spelt as) in damagecustom variable, then return Plugin_Changed

Wildcard - I have no idea how to write plugins, which is why I was putting in a request. Do I need to repost this with a 'req' tag?

PHP Code:

#include <sdkhooks>
#include <sourcemod>
#include <tf2_stocks>

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakeDamage);
}

public Action:OnTakeDamage(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype, &weapon,
        Float:damageForce[3], Float:damagePosition[3], damagecustom)
{
    if (damagecustom == TF_CUSTOM_BACKSTAB)
    {
        damagetype &= DMG_CRIT;
        damagecustom = 0; //IDK why I need to do this.
        return Plugin_Changed;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

Wildcard, thanks for writing that!

I was looking into compiling the code. I'm sorry to ask you to do everything for me, but as I run OS X not Windows, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to actually compile this. Would you mind doing the compile for me? Would be absolutely amazing.

Thanks ever so much for all your help.

You need to change damagecustom to 0

Hey, so I tried to use the sourcemod.net compiler and it threw much a few errors and a couple of warnings:

/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textgw7YcR.sp(12) : error 017: undefined symbol "TF_CUSTOM_BACKSTAB"
/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textgw7YcR.sp(14) : warning 215: expression has no effect
/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textgw7YcR.sp(14) : error 001: expected token: ";", but found "~"

/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textgw7YcR.sp(14) : warning 215: expression has no effect

Am I not using the right compiler or are there problems with the code?

That means you're missing an

#include <tf2_stocks>

[sirgrey]

That fixes the backstab flag error, but I am still getting:

/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textoFi12l.sp(15) : warning 215: expression has no effect
/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/textoFi12l.sp(15) : error 001: expected token: ";", but found "~"

I changed my post with the code in.
