[TF2] G-Fortress
Version 1.0.4a

Description:

This plugin aims to bring plug and play TF2 support to maps designed for Gmod (or potentially other source games). This plugin should require very little technical expertise and should for the most part be fully automated.
**Note, this plugin is for casual/non competitive gameplay. You almost definetely will not spawn in a spawnroom. I would recommend a good uberspawn plugin to help mitigate the likelihood of serious spawn campage.**

Video Demonstration:

Features:

1. Replaces G-mod spawns with TF2 spawns.
   -- If it finds more than one G-mod spawn it will also begin assigning them equally to red or blue.
2. Dimensions reduced by 17% for all players
   -- This matches G-Mod size for fitting through doors/passageways. It also can be changed by the cvar "gfortress_size".
3. Speed reduced by 17% for all players
   -- This matches the players speed with their new dimensions. (See Feature 2)
4. Jump height reduced by 17% for all players
   -- This matches the players jump height with their new dimensions. (See Feature 2)
5. +Use activates when you Attack1 OR call for medic(Attack1 by default)
   -- Big thank you to Chdata for his code contribution and the guys at this thread for ideas/support.
6. Modular Design
   -- Ability to enable/disable each of the above listed features. Controlled via the "gfortress_manage" cvars If you don't want it, disable it.
7. Automatic enable/disable
   -- This plugin detects if your map is missing TF2 spawns, and doesn't run at all unless it's needed.

Cvars:

• gfortress_mode | Set G-Fortress Mode | 0 = Force Disabled, 1 = Force Enabled, 2 = Automatic (Recommended) | Default = 2
• gfortress_zoffset | Controls Z-Offset for spawns. | (Any Float) | Default = 0.25
• gfortress_size | Controls Default Size/Jump/Speed | (Any Float) | Default = 0.83
• gfortress_manage_resize | Management of ResizePlayers cvars | 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled | Default = 1
• gfortress_manage_speed | Management of player speed | 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled | Default = 1
• gfortress_manage_jump | Management of player jump | 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled | Default = 1
• gfortress_manage_use | Management of +Use for buttons/doors | 0 = Disabled, 1 = +Use on Attack1, 2 = +Use on Call for Medic | Default = 1
• gfortress_manage_spawns | Management of spawns | 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled | Default = 1

[/LIST]

Installation:

1. You MUST install TF2Attributes
2. Place G-Fortress.smx into /tf/addonds/sourcemod/plugins folder
   *Don't click "Get Plugin" it will fail to compile because it requires the TF2Attributes include file.
3. Make sure you set the cvar tf_allow_player_use 1 or doors/buttons may not work!

Plans:

Spoiler

• I'm trying to expand this plugin to work well with CS:S maps too. See here
• I may be able to get things spinning again... a way to swap all func_rotating with something that will work in TF2.

Example Maps:

• EvoCity_v2d DOWNLOAD
  *Note that I didn't make this map, I merely packed it with materials and models we were missing. If anyone on the EvoCity team wishes me to remove this link please PM me and I will immediately.*

Final Thoughts:
This is the first plugin I've ever released. It will likely have some bugs. I would like the opportunity to learn and grow as a coder through this experience. The SM community is awesome!

Really nice-looking mod! I saw and commented on the video. Looks very cool, and may actually revive TF2 a bit, in terms of modded servers!

Question: Would it be possible to release a version of this mod that does not penalize movement speed and jump height, or would this create too many issues? I know you're trying to be authentic, but doing things this way limits some classes, specifically Scout, who is not all that useful when you nerf his movement capabilities. Just my thoughts here.

Option to replace medic calling with E in addition to the +attack method.

For the first time I see "CreateEdict()" native in action. What is this native for?

PHP Code:

CreateSpawn(Float:origin[3], Float:angles[3], TFTeam:redblu)
{
    new tf2spawn = CreateEdict();
    tf2spawn = CreateEntityByName("info_player_teamspawn");
    DispatchKeyValueVector(tf2spawn, "origin", origin);
    DispatchKeyValueVector(tf2spawn, "angles", angles);
    DispatchSpawn(tf2spawn);
    SetEntProp(tf2spawn, Prop_Send, "m_iTeamNum", redblu);
}

Thanks Dan, I just updated the version to 1.0.1 it includes the feature to enable/disable speed control among others. This said, the nerf is applied as a percentage and everyone does not run at the same speed. EVERYONE is nerfed (to 83% of their normal speed) so the scout still is just as fast (from a ratio standpoint) and should not effect gameplay. At least that's been my logic.

I know, I'd like to implement that method, as I said, the method I'm using isn't quite the ideal one that was spoken of in the forums. This is my very first plugin and was taking forever to develop. I just needed to release it. It's not perfect, but it works as is.

Ahh... you're absolutely right. CreateEdict() is not needed here. It was left over from when I was trying to make entities "stay" when the game began. (Solved by hooking to teamplay_round_start) The updated version removed this unneeded code. Thank you for pointing this out.

Interesting, might use this in the future.

[Chdata]

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart() { AddCommandListener(cdVoiceMenu, "voicemenu"); }


public Action:cdVoiceMenu(iClient, const String:sCommand[], iArgc)
{
    if (iArgc < 2)
    {
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }

    decl String:sCmd1[3], String:sCmd2[3];
    
    GetCmdArg(1, sCmd1, sizeof(sCmd1));
    GetCmdArg(2, sCmd2, sizeof(sCmd2));
    
    // Capture call for medic commands (represented by "voicemenu 0 0")

    if (sCmd1[0] == '0' && sCmd2[0] == '0')
    {
          // +use code here
          return Plugin_Handled;
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;
}

Omg, Thank you! I'll be working to integrate tonight!

UPDATE: I've implemented the medic call use method. See what you guys think. I just changed it again so you can choose between Attack1 or Call for Medic to activate +Use
