Whack-A-Pubby by Addict (Too lazy to reg new name on here)

A long time standby of the servers that we host. This is a wonderful idea for enraging the unfortunate suckers that join your server. Be prepared to be called a FAGGIT and be told to GIT A LIFE/GIRLFRIEND. Name your server "NAURTO's ROLEPLAY FANTASY FRAG DOJO" or "Girl_Frag_Crew (looking for admins)" and then start doing some backstabs. Wait for reaction. Also you can type "list pubbies" and "list protected" with out quotes to list who is on which side.

I am releasing this script because Valve seems to be going out of the way to sterilize the gameplay like some sort of retarded guarantee by taking away control and information from modders and server owners. It sucks that in order to mod anymore you have to open up a debugger and write memory hacks. Modding shouldn't be like that. Thanks Sourcmod/Metamod team for saving me a lot of time.

If you look at the source you may notice that I am replenishing health to 150. Why 150? Because valve took the damage ammount value out of the damage event. If you care this deeply about accurate health you probably shouldn't be running this plugin anyway. We have playtested this on our servers by trying to cheat with it and its never effective.

Yes, I miss the CS 1.x days.

Cvars
whackapubby_enabled (Default: 1)
whackapubby_endtk (Default: 1 - Between rounds TK for all)
whackapubby_blockselfdamage(Default: 0 - Blocks self damage, fun for nade jumps but easily abused)

Yes, never did understand why they removed damage from TF2's player_hurt.

It's not just that, it seems like they are doing their best to circumvent giving us info. Backstabs over-ride everything and go to instantdeath. The death event is meaningless and only purpose is to show the death message at the top. It is almost like there is another interface that is passing info that its listening to instead of the normal methods that metamod has hooked. I think this is the case because even though I hooked the event Pre, the damage had already been registered by the time I was able to request the current health.

Prehooking events doesn't mean damage has occured or not yet. It just means you're getting the event before its SENT to clients. This most likely is still after the damage was dealt. That's always been the case, not just TF2.

Ah, I wrote my origional plugin for CSS on valves own plugin setup (whoops) and never had to deal with the absence of the damage value. Is there a technical reason metamod can't grab events before the server registers them?

[ferret]

I don't get what you mean. Metamod/Sourcemod can hook any event in TF2, and it can pre or post hook. However, the event is simply a notication to clients. It's kind of mislabelled in a way. It has no bearing on whether damage has already occured or not, or whether a player has already died or not, etc.

Blocking player_death for example won't stop player's from dying. It'll just stop the event, which causes the kill icons in the top-right. Same for player_hurt. It won't stop damage, just stop the clients knowing about it (Exactly how the client uses player_hurt is unknown to me, potentially for damage/hurt sounds and animations)

Ok, that explains it. I was placing much more value on them thinking they were the things that registered the damage with the server instead of just client notifications.

This may sound like a noob question, but where exactly does it pull the admins from? Could it pull them from Mani Admin?
