[MasterOfTheXP]

There are quite a few bugs in Team Fortress 2. Don't you wish that Valve would take a quick break from adding new hats in order to make a "fix everything" update? ...Heh, yeah, that's pretty improbable. But let's say they did do that. How would it go? Get a little idea of how it'd be in a world without with much less bugs with TF2Fix!

TF2Fix fixes just about everything that can be fixed server-side in TF2; weapon logic, certain sounds, and unused/incorrect kill icons. (Also see here for client-side fixes!)

A sampling of some of the oldest and easiest fixes added to the plugin, better video coming Eventually™:

• Fixed the Bazaar Bargain falsely incrementing the Heads meter when tf_weapon_criticals is 0 - seems to be buggy

• Fixed being able to move using self-damage right before a round starts - Probably intentional, but brought back as opt-in by request
• Fixed the Demoman charge sound being clipped by the weapon crit sound" ~Valve; but now, actually fixed! - Sort of. Most of the time, the sound will be stopped, and a different charging sound will play.
• Fixed Bonk! being unusable for half of a minute if the user failed to complete the drink animation (ledges, airblasted, etc.) - Very unstable fix; your mileage may vary
• Want to enable some of these red opt-in fixes? See the INSTALLATION section.

  • The Tomislav Announce fix now blocks (almost) all automatic Heavy responses while the weapon is in use
  • The (opt-in) Splendid Screen guaranteed-crit bug can apparently be triggered by any shield now, so its fix's cvar has been renamed to tf_fix_demoman_guaranteecrit. It has also been fixed to actually work. Usually.

THANKS (AND HAVE FUN) TO

• FlaminSarge for a few fixes (most notably the Gunslinger exploit fix), early optimization of the plugin, stuff, and things
• Veccy and 1101 0100 on SPUF for this list, placing many many bugs from the whole game into one single list for easy access
• Everyone posting bugs/fix-bugs/feedback in this thread
• Valve for their broken, FUBAR, unbalanced hat-war simulator; I wouldn't have made this plugin if I didn't like it so much

INSTALLATION

• Download tf2fix.smx (don't click Get Plugin) and install it into tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins/.
• Confusing yet? Just download tf2fix.smx; the plugin won't compile on the forum due to TF2Attributes. Sorry for any confusion caused.
• If your server's running, either type sm plugins load tf2fix into the server's console/rcon, or change maps.
• (Optional) If you don't like some of the above fixes (or do want the ones in red, which are disabled by default) load up the plugin, edit tf/cfg/sourcemod/tf2fix.cfg to your liking, and then exec sourcemod/tf2fix.cfg through server console.
• 2ez!

Not to nitpick, but there's one thing I noticed in that list that has to be addressed right now.

Originally Posted by MasterOfTheXP Fixed taunting Dead Ringer Spies not getting their cloak activated when hit

The Dead Ringer isn't supposed to be active when a Spy is taunting. This was an intentional change by Valve.

It was to fix the issue where Spies could unfairly kill enemy players using their knife taunt while under the Dead Ringer's effect.

This plugin doesn't let them keep taunting, though. When it cloaks the Spy, it stops his taunt.

I messaged you back, but next time either keep it in PMs or on the Boss Battles thread.

You are my hero! If you fix backstab animation you will become my GOD ^^

Just looked at the code for a sec after a person I was talking to mentioned its timers...

There's a serious need for optimization in the millisecond timer (which is actually every tenth second, not millisecond). I see repeated calls to TF2_GetPlayerClass(z) and GetEntPropEnt(z, Prop_Send, "m_hActiveWeapon"). These really should be called once and have their values stored in a variable.

For that matter, TF2_GetPlayerClass returns an enum value, so it can be used in a switch statement.

I didn't think that repeatedly calling those was so bad, but I guess I can change 'em. The timer's called "millisecond" because I've never seen the terms "centisecond" or "decisecond" used anywhere.

Did you update any localization strings?
