Hello all!
I've been working on a new plugin over the last few weeks, as time permitted. I think it's ready to get some solid playtime testing.
Disclaimer: This plugin may not be for you! I named it Bling My Server. Yes, I actually named it Bling. When you're done laughing, read on. For now, it's for CS:S only, sorry.
What does it do:
- Welcome Sound
- Headshot Only
- Headshot Sounds (emitted from attacker or victim)
- Headshot Blood/Gore
- Knifekill Sounds (emitted from attacker or victim)
- Knifekill Blood/Gore
- Force No-Scope with any scoped weapon
- Bulletpaths/Lasers/Tracers
- Ragdoll Dissolver Effects
- No-Block
- One Shot One Kill
- Unlimited Grenades (choose any type of grenade, or all!)
- Unlimited Ammo
- One Weapon Only Rounds (like knives only, choose from any weapon)
- Knife Mugging (cash and/or health)
- Bling Bank - Uses clientprefs so that it's persistent, and can be used across many severs via MySQL.
- Warmup Round: Single or multiple weapons, includes respawning.
- Weapon Remover: Removes dropped weapons and weapons from a map.
- Added a few admin commands: sm_givecash, sm_givehealth, sm_respawn and sm_give (for giving items/weapons)
Updated: I have now added two files into the addons/sourcemod/configs/ directory.
- bling_menu_sorting.txt - Allows you to modify the sort order of both Bling menus.
- bling_menu_settings.txt - Allows you to choose which menu options are displayed in the Bling menus, as well as providing command overrides so that you can restrict access to certain functions.
See why I named it Bling? Essentially it's just a bunch of fun stuff to help spice up boring server life. EVERYTHING is built into admin menus. Or you can just use the config file/cvars. EVERYTHING is built into the translation files, even the menu titles and menu items.
From what I've tested so far, 99% of this plugin is NOT resource intensive. I don't hook the game frames or anything weird like that. The only thing that may cause lag would be the lasers/tracers.
Things that annoy me:
- Not being able to create sub-categories in the admin menu. I'm looking for a better way to implement my plugin using only ONE menu option.
- env_blood effects. For the life of me, I couldn't get any useful effects with anything besides "15" as the flags.
- The laser/tracer beams. I'd like to spend a day re-doing these to look/work better soon.
Things I'd love for you to do:
- Break it.
- Report errors from your error log (invalid clientid's, entity's, edicts etc.)
- Report functionality issues (ie: stuff's busted)
- Provide functionality feedback. What other sorta cool stuff would fit well with this plugin?
- Not tell me it's a stupid name. I already know this, man.
There are default headshot and knife sounds included (no DL required). By default, these all emit from the victim. If you decide to use taunting FPS doug sounds or some such, you'll probably have more fun switching the Emit to the Attacker.
If you think this plugin might be fun, please give it a test! If it gets good feedback and seems useful, I'll be submitting it officially at a later time.
Thanks in advance for ruining my life with bugs,
