First Blood Crits (1.0)

This was a plugin request by someone. Thought id just post it for whatever, maybe someone might find it entertaining....


Description: Player who gets first kill when round starts is awarded with specified duration of 100% crits.


Plugin autocreates config: plugin.firstbloodcrits.cfg Heres cvars anyways.......

Cvars:
sm_firstbloodcrits_enabled "1" //Enable/disable cvar
sm_firstbloodcrits_emitsound "1" // Emit the first blood sound and timer files?? (1/0 = yes/no)
sm_firstbloodcrits_bdaysound "1" //Emit the birthday sound file? (1/0 = yes/no)
sm_firstbloodcrits_msg "1" // Display first blood crits msg? (1/0 = yes/no)
sm_firstbloodcrits_timer "1" //Enable the center screen timer countdown? (1/0 = yes/no)
sm_firstbloodcrits_period "10.0" // Period in seconds for crits duration
sm_arenafirstblood 1.0 //Enable tf2 first blood cvar in arena mode? (1/0 = yes/no)




Changelog:

10/6/10 - v1.0 - Various re-codes and code optimizations.....
1/21/10 - v0.9 - Added some particle effects. Added bday sound file w/CVAR.  Also added a 5 sec timer countdown sound file.
1/19/10 - v0.8 - Coded the convar changes a bit more properly. Put default duration to 10 instead of 5. Few other small things.
1/5/10 - v0.7 - Fixed dead ringer triggering first blood crits. Small coding error.
8/17/09 - v0.6 - Due to new tf2 update giving a cvar to enable/disable arena first blood, I have added a cvar in my plugin to toggle this. (note: My plugin itself is still auto-disabled in arena, the cvar is for tf2's own first blood in arena) Per request, also added a cvar for the on screen timer.  Renamed: sm_firstbloodcrits_time --> sm_firstbloodcrits_period
8/17/09 - v0.5 - Few slight adjustments and added few more killtimer checks to try and fix the display timer being incorrect bug.

Aweomse plugin, I'm using it on my server and It's working 100%!

I did notice thow, If you have first blood sounds from BrutalGoerge's [TF2] Kill-Streak plugin, they clash.

Ya thats the reason I put the cvars in to disable the msg and sound file.

Please update post's description with the public cvar in your code and your plugin will be approved.

I noticed something today, I was firing off shoots on the pistol right as the times ending, and the count down continued into the negatives.

It would go down to -20 and still give the crits. I figure since I have the time set to 20 sec.

Umm, that sounds odd. Thats all you were doing? Firing pistol as it ended? I dont know if ill be able to reproduce that. Ill do a little testing though.

Anyway to TURN OFF first blood? Looking to do this in our Arena server, was hoping there was cvar to turn it off.

[retsam]

Ill have to add one. I didnt cause I thought it was such a small plugin, there was no point. Easy enough to add one though.

EDIT: Just fyi, by default it should detect arena mode and be disabled. Its hard for me to test that cause you need 2 people in the server, but it should automatically not work for arena already.

Updated mainpost with new v0.3 for the enable/disable cvar for ya.

Hi retsam,
I was wondering if using this plugin would it be possible to disable first blood in arena? I'm not sure if I was clear, we're looking to eliminate first blood in our arena only server. There has yet to be one released that can do that so was hoping something like this could be adapted. Thanks,
Matt

By default, it should already NOT work in arena... Apparently it does? : /

And if you see the main post I updated it with a cvar to disable.

sm_firstbloodcrits_enabled "0" would disable the plugin.

EDIT: Ok........I have added a little more arena mode detection. I tested it on a server and it auto-disables for me so.... You shouldnt even need to disable the cvar now to disable it in arena. lmk.
