Excessive Buy Punisher v1.1
by pharse

Description:

This plugin simply slays or kicks players who buy more than <items> items in <time> seconds (specified by CVars).
This is the case e.g. when trying to crash the server by buying lots of weapons with a buy script or when spamming grenades.

See below for some CVar examples of different use.

Features:

• Delay time after a player spawns. During this time the picked up items aren't counted.
• Option that picked up items are only counted during the buy time (defined by server CVar mp_buytime)
• Option that only grenades are counted. Then completely different settings are probably necessary.
• Two punishments: slay and kick
• Logging to current AMXx logfile (good to track down troublemakers), in the following format:
  • Excessive Buy Punisher: PUNISHMENT "NAME<STEAM_ID>"
  • e.g.: Excessive Buy Punisher: slay "pharse<Steam_0:1:23456>"

CVars:

amx_ebp_enable <0/1> default: 1 -- dis-/enables the plugin

amx_ebp_items <10/11/...> default: 10 -- items that may be picked up in <time>

amx_ebp_time <1.0/2.0/...> default: 3.0 -- time in seconds

amx_ebp_delay <1.0/2.0/...> default: 3.0 -- delay time in seconds after spawn, during which the plugin is inactive

amx_ebp_buytimeonly <0/1> default: 1 -- defines if the plugin is active only during the buytime

amx_ebp_nadesonly <0/1> default: 0 -- defines if the plugin counts only grenades

amx_ebp_punishment <0/1> default: 0 -- 0=slay, 1=kick

amx_ebp_log <0/1> default: 1 -- dis-/enables logging to current AMXx logfile

Examples:

• I have a server running a "unlimited money"-plugin. But some players keep buying weapons until the server lags or even crashes.
  • --> You may use the default settings.
• I hate it when players spam nades at roundstart, e.g. on cs_office the CTs keep throwing HEs into the building.
  • amx_ebp_items 5
  • amx_ebp_time 10.0
  • amx_ebp_delay 0.0
  • amx_ebp_nadesonly 1

Requirements:

• Compiled & tested with AMX Mod X v1.8.0

Changelog:

Version 1.0

• initial release

Completely reworked: Version 1.1

• new name! (formerly: Excessive Buy Kicker) Therefore all CVars changed!
• new modules: cstrike (now mod-dependent!) & fakemeta
• now catching actual buy-action instead of only weapon pickup
• added CVars: delay, buytimeonly, nadesonly, punishment, log
• changed description etc.

Down with the nade spammers!

Nice plugin , very useful ;D

[Vm|Mayhem]

Sounds nice, but it wasn't working on my server. I removed my admin status and was still able to spam weapons everywhere. I used default settings, maybe I'm not fast enough?

[pharse]

yes, you were not fast enough. With the default settings you can only be kicked by using a buy script, mostly on servers with unlimited money - as it was requested. You have to change the CVars for other purposes. I'll have a look at it again, perhaps I implement a delay time after new round/spawn. Thus the "normal" buy isn't catched but the nade spammers.

What if i play on a unlimited money server, and i want to make a fast buy script to buy 15 weapons, but i just want to play with those weapons, not drop them ?
I mean, you could detect dropped weapons, may be red status icons.

[pharse]

This first version is mod-independant, but following versions will be only for CS.
So let's count...

1 primary weapon
1 secondary weapon
1 knife
1 HE
2 flashbangs (btw, have to fix it that the 2nd one is catched aswell)
1 smoke
(1 C4)
_________
7 ( 8 ) weapons to be picked up - for normal purposes. Any higher amount is caused by either vicious intentions or a mis-buy (pity )

I mean, you could detect dropped weapons, may be red status icons.

Don't know exactly what you mean... where is a red status icon when picking up weapons?
The only solution I can think of is catching the actual buy-action. Kind of too much effort for such a small plugin. I'll see if a find a nice workaround ;)

[ConnorMcLeod]

Well, i thought that on some server you can pick up multiple weapons (3 handguns for example)

For red icon...hmm...my bad, there's only a red one when you drop c4, not with other weapons.

I just thought of another way, forward some SetModel or something else and check pev_owner.

[fxfighter]

This wont work well whit buyscripts or rebuy options becase the weapon pickup event will be calld each time you recive a item/weapon right?

I was using a buy script and filled the ground with guns (cs) and my server is unlimitted ammo.

I changed the cvars and it worked:

amx_ebk_time "3.0"
amx_ebk_items "10"
amx_ebk_enable "1"

Good work! plus karma.
