How can I make this to work for all players that come in my server?

in admin_overrides.cfg I put "pets_tf2" ""

Shouldn't that work for all players?

or is it "pets" "" ?

EDIT:
OMG....finally figured it out...so dumb of me....it's "sm_pets" "" ......DUHHHHHhhhhh

I'm a truck driver...18 wheels...ahaha Been a while.

Any chance we can have the plugin recoded to use base_boss for smoother movements?

"sm_pets" "" - only give access to menu. But, commands still not accessible for all.

So, how share it to all players?

[Stropy]

In default config all pets are restricted to admin flag "a". Look for "admingflag" variable and leave it blank. (or delete it, that will probably work too.)

As expected, drag and dropping into a L4D2 server throws errors because the models don't exist... think I'll have to rework the entire .cfg file to find the models I am interested in implementing. I got the plugin working but utility is very limited as L4D2 doesn't support a lot of custom content via FastDL so you are stuck with whatever's built into the game for models. An example .cfg below:

    "1"
    {
        "name"                    "CEDA"
        "desc"                    "Dang... they still got him even when he was in a suit."
        "model"                    "models/infected/common_male_ceda.mdl"
        "sound_idle_amount"        "4"
        "sound_idle"            "sound/npc/infected/idle/breathing/idle_breathing_01.wav"
        "sound_idle_2"            "sound/npc/infected/idle/breathing/idle_breathing_02.wav"
        "sound_idle_3"            "sound/npc/infected/idle/breathing/idle_breathing_03.wav"
        "sound_idle_4"            "sound/npc/infected/idle/breathing/idle_breathing_04.wav"
        "pitch"                    "200"
        "anim_idle"                "Idle_Alert_Straight_05"
        "anim_walk"                "Run_OnFire_01"
        "anim_jump"                "Jump_Down_From_Ledge_Walkframe"
        "height_type"            "1"
        "skin"                    "0"
        "can_be_colored"        "1"
        "adminflag"                ""
        "modelscale"            "0.5"
    }
    
    "2"
    {
        "name"                    "DLC Tank"
        "desc"                    "[FRUSTRATED SCREAMS]"
        "model"                    "models/infected/hulk_dlc3.mdl"
        "sound_idle_amount"        "4"
        "sound_idle"            "sound/player/tank/voice/idle/tank_growl_01.wav"
        "sound_idle_2"            "sound/player/tank/voice/idle/tank_growl_02.wav"
        "sound_idle_3"            "sound/player/tank/voice/idle/tank_growl_03.wav"
        "sound_idle_4"            "sound/player/tank/voice/idle/tank_growl_04.wav"
        "pitch"                    "200"
        "anim_idle"                "Idle"
        "anim_walk"                "hulk_runMad"
        "anim_jump"                "Jump"
        "height_type"            "1"
        "skin"                    "0"
        "can_be_colored"        "1"
        "adminflag"                ""
        "modelscale"            "0.5"
    }

The process right now is very tedious - you'll have to use the L4D2 authoring tool to dig through models and use the sequence tab to identify the proper anim_idle/walk/jump names. If anybody finds a better process of adding animated models let me know.

I'm about to test this in TF2 and updated the syntax.

I'd be curious to see what pets we can add with built-in TF2 models?

Skeleton? Ghost? Bosses? MvM bots?

In Case you need it, i think i havent released my private Version of the Plugin yet, it fixes a few Bugs from the original Version and works with any Game instead of TF only.

I updated yours to new syntax. Yours isn't storing clientprefs/cookies. Not sure if that is by design or if you forked before it got added in the original. Original was up to version 1.85 and yours is 1.8 so that is possible. But I added in clientprefs/cookies. I also see you disabled the sound with a commend that:

//#define SOUND_SPAWN "ambient/machines/catapult_throw.wav" //Dosents exists in any Game

Then you disable the calls to play that sound. I suppose you could use an existing sound. I'm new to Source engine modding so I don't know what built in sound the engine has that might make for a good replacement. I'm going to try "items/spawn_item.wav"

Perhaps this is a stupid question but yours is named _particles but it is missing this line found in the original:

CreateParticle("ExplosionCore_sapperdestroyed ", pos);

Was that intentional?

Lastly, 1.85 had a fix to check for cloaked state to not give away spies and I added that to yours.

Yea, it was TF2 only i guess, so i just removed it. Search the VPK Files, they partwise contain the same sounds.

Yea, my Version was made to work on any game, this Particle only exists in TF2.

You also should change the Filename and Plugin Name, with these Changes made, it isent compatible anymore with other Games then TF2.
TF2_IsPlayerInCondition is run without an Game compatibility Check, you can do it like this:
OnPluginStart{g_hGameMod = GetEngineVersion()}

add an if(g_hGameMod == Engine_TF) {Spy Cloak Stuff ETC.}

you probably still need to make the include optional by using #undef REQUIRE_EXTENSIONS before including it i believe

I left the sound and particle out of the pets_any_particles.sp version, but I suppose I do need to remove the cloak check as well or because it behind a TF2 check as you mentioned.
