I may have been a bit hasty in asking for this to be Unapproved. Setting tf_forced_holiday 2 in cp_manor_event.cfg will cause your server to crash as soon as it tries to spawn the Horsemann.

The models for the horsemann don't get precached / added to the string table automatically unless it's set before the map loads.

No HHH & TF Birthday still active. Good luck with it.

OK, now that I'm really working on this again, time to start really debugging this.

The "Halloween map detected" bit appearing 3 times implies that the server is doing the holiday check 3 times, and we're sending back that it's the Halloween holiday 3 times. I'm not really sure why you'd still be seeing the birthday thing.

That is, unless Valve was overridding this method in the server code on the 24th, as the 24th was Team Fortress's 15th Birthday.

However, I doubt that was the case, as the method we use to override this can also force Birthday mode, which makes the Birthday Noisemaker useable.

Hi Powerlord,
Is there a way to disable the taunt only but leave everything else?
People love the fact that they can use their hats but they hate no being able to use the regular taunt.
I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Sadly, I don't enough about TF2's internals to just disable the taunt (if it's even possible).

The crashing thing is only an issue if I use cp_manor_event.cfg to try to force halloween mode. If I'm going to write a plugin anyway, I might as well just use the one I've already got.

[Powerlord]

This plugin doesn't work on SourceMod 1.4 due to a change in the API. I will see about fixing it later.

[Powerlord]

This plugin relies on now-deprecated parts of SourceMod.

I wrote a replacement for it named [TF2] Force Holidays that takes into account that all the Holidays can be enabled at once.

The Halloween map list has gone away in that version, but I've fixed support for setting the cvars in a map configuration file (by precaching the Horsemann and Monoculus models/sounds when the correct map is loaded).
