I'm sure people remember the
Equipment Manager plugin and the resulting fucking-up Valve did of serverside player attachments.
Well, we may have another problem on our hands.
Someone is trying to fix/has fixed that plugin.
Right now it seems they're testing it on their own server, which is fine. What I'm worried about is that the plugin will get out into the public where people will abuse the hell out of it to make fake unusuals on their servers and such, causing Valve to break more stuff.
I mean, with the TF2Items Manager plugin, I discovered I was able to use the tf2items.weapons.txt file to change the quality of a hat I owned and give it a particle effect as well and other players could see the hat as Unusual and such.
Apparently other servers know this as well and apparently use it (which is why I submitted
this thread to see if hat/misc item ID blocking in the TF2Items extension is possible).
But yeah, with that fellow fixing up Equipment Manager, I'm worried that 2014 could end up being "The year that Valve killed TF2Items completely".
