Themes v0.8
Updated October 15, 2009

What is Themes
Dynamically change the theme of maps! Enjoy a dark night, sweeping storm or a frosty blizzard without being required to download another map. Modifiable attributes include the skybox, lighting, fog, particles, soundscapes, color correction and more.

Includes over 14 themes!





Version History

v0.8
	General
	- Really added convar "sm_themes_particles" this time
	- Modified plugin to force clients to download particle files for all
	  maps defined in the maps config. Warning: If you use this plugin with
	  custom maps be sure to make a <map name>_particles.txt file for them!
	- The above change should hopefully fix 'waffle particles' for most players
	  unless you play on custom maps regularly
	- Possibly fixed color correction and particles sometimes not appearing
	  (the delay before they are applied at round start has been increased)
	- Added theme "Chilly" - enjoy a frosty and foggy morning!

v0.7
	General
	- Added convar "sm_themes_particles" to enable/disable custom particles
v0.6
	General
	- Some bug fixes

v0.5
	General
	- Initial testing release
	- Added everything

How do I install?
Copy everything EXCEPT fastdownload into your tf folder.
Copy the contents of fastdownload onto your fastdownload server.
Add the lines in add_to_pure_server_whitelist.txt to your pure_server_whitelist.txt (located in your hl2 folder).

This plugin requires sv_pure 1 or lower!

What are the convars?

	sm_themes_version
		Themes version

	sm_themes_enable [0/1]

	sm_themes_next_theme "theme-name"
		Forces the next map to use the given theme
		
	sm_themes_announce [0/1]
		Whether or not to announce the current/next theme

	sm_themes_particles [0/1]
		Whether or not to use custom particles

What are the config files?
All config files are located in "addons/sourcemod/configs/themes/"

	themes.cfg
		Defines the themes and their attributes.
		
	themesets.cfg
		Defines sets of themes and how they are selected.

	maps.cfg
		Defines the maps and what themesets they use.

Read the comments at the top of the config files.

Make sure you follow the install guide, upload the stuff to your fastdownload server (if you have one) and add the lines to your whitelist.

The good idea is to have the weather of a city.
With a small connection on a Weather website.

And adapte theme with this weather.
I like your idea and continy to deploy this plugin !

Great job. Looks awesome! Ooooh themes are selected at random

Edit:
Would be nice if there was some voting so users can set the next theme.

Getting a lot of this in Console, Think you need to update your particle manifests.

PHP Code:

Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles494.pcf'
Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles495.pcf'
Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles496.pcf'
Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles497.pcf'
Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles498.pcf'
Particles: Missing 'particles/custom_particles499.pcf'

Forgot to mention - that's normal. Since I can't precache particle files I made manifest files for the default maps that contain a list of 500 custom particle files. Currently I'm only using custom_particles001.pcf but I decided to play it safe. Not to mention other plugins can use these too!

Oh god, that's kickass. Also, lol at the custom particles thing, I thought exactly the same thing when I attempted to make a custom hat with custom particles.

Will definately use it on my server, perhaps with the number of custom particles lowered

+Karma and Love for you
