    NOT REQUIRED - WHEN USING "Helm's Deep -Fixed-" VERSION BY JAiZ


    About:
    • The latest "Helms Deep" map updates added various (mostly blank) SourceMod and Valve configuration files, overwriting their functionality.
    • Malicious scripting attempts from a megalomaniac (SeriouS_Samurai) who wants to remove SourceMod and MetaMod from running with his map.
    • Let me make this very clear, SeriouS_Samurai is not the original creator of the Helms Deep map and has stolen the map removing all credit to Team Chivalry. What a disgusting individual. YouTube by JAiZ.
    • Thanks to Valve the .cfg files do not work (obviously he didn't know): "February 21, 2017: Configuration files are no longer loaded from addon vpks. These configuration values were sometimes used for malicious purposes".
    • This plugin fixes various files he's attempted to overwrite, restoring BaseBans plugin and other things. I've included the .cfg files anyway just in case.
    • Each time the server is started it will generate and create new VPKs allowing for any changes to your configs. The maximum size for each file added is 64 KB, to increase change MAX_FILE_SIZE and recompile.
    • I chose this method to learn VPK creation via SourceMod. It also prevents modifying the maps VPK and any legal infringements. Couldn't detour functions to block overwriting files.
    • Recommended Plugin: VScript File Replacer to fix more stuff with Helms Deep.


    Related Plugins:

    Thanks:
    • GoD-Tony - CRC-32 code
    • Lux - Support
    • Xanaguy - Support


    What This Does:
    • Modifies AddonList.txt to load the VPKs. This is required otherwise only some of the restored files are loaded.
    • Creates two identical VPK addons (sm_helms_patch1.vpk and sm_helms_patch2.vpk) with the following files.
    • Fixes BaseBans plugin.
    • Fixes SourceMod files:
      Spoiler
    • Fixes Valve files:
      Spoiler



    Admin Commands:
    • Requires "z" - ADMFLAG_ROOT flag
    PHP Code:
    sm_vpk     // Unloads all VPK addons, creates the Helms Deep Patch VPKs and reloads VPK addons.
    sm_vpkb    // Prints the valve file system and local file system versions of sourcemod/configs/banreasons.txt.
    sm_vpks    // Shows the VPK addon load order. Shorter wrapper command to show_addon_load_order. 


    ConVars:
    PHP Code:
    // Helms Deep Patch plugin version.
    sm_helms_patch_version 


    Changes:
    Code:
    1.5 (10-May-2020)

    @SeriouS_Samurai: We'll always reverse your malicious scripting.

    @Everyone: if theres anything else which needs restoring or blocking please let me know. I'll be monitoring for future changes to the map and updating VScript Replacer config and this plugin as required. Think we got him nailed in.

    For the VScript Replacer (where that errors from) you can delete the "helms_deep" { } section as it's not required if you don't have the map.

    I installed this plugin and VScript File Replacer and Helms Deep Sourcemod Enabler and got this messages in the consoles and I can't spawn any custom weapon. Any idea why?
