I recently-ish found out that you can, the method and/or whether it can be added to TF2Items or not is currently unknown to me.

Maybe when I get back to Thailand I'll be able to look into it.

Custom weapon names? Seriously? (OMG)

I wish this mod didn't crash my server, it's so awesome! /sigh

Maybe It's another mod conflicting with it...

It works on my servers, what version of sm are you using?

We wen't through all that on page 34. I'll take a deeper look into the memdumps provided in 3-4 weeks when I get back to Thailand, but I don't think a minidump will contain enough info, ideally a full memory dump from a linux server with breakpad disabled is best for debugging.

Edit: That reminds me, alinayg, you're running on linux iirc? Can you try this snapshot of the extension please. This will spam your server log to hell, I only advise running it long enough to see if the crash is fixed.

Tested out the new snapshot, ran it for about an hour and nothing was wrong. And Yeah I did notice it spamming the logs. But It seems to be ok now! Can't wait till the official release.

Glad it works for you.

I've decided to do a little bit of a beta of 1.4 first.
You can download it from http://hg.limetech.org/projects/tf2i...30157977c8.zip.

Significant changes in this version:

• Less hacky method of attribute changes, now using Valve's actually CUtlVector class with a little hack to get it to not kill the server.
• Added the ability to preserve the existing weapon attributes in tf2items.weapons.txt

This lets you do stuff like the following:

"custom_weapons_v3"
{
	"*"
	{
		"*"
		{
			"admin-flags"	"z"
			"preserve_attributes"	"1"
			
			"1"	"134 ; 4"
		}
	}
}

This would add the sparkles particle to all root admin's weapons without breaking the unlock weapon's attributes.
This is pretty experimental, so let me know if there are any issues (and if it's working ).

And yes, that should be using a hyphen not an underscore, but I've already compiled everything, I'll fix it before full release.

Overusing my new catface smiley:

I'm excited for this.

Although the items system has the ability for custom item names (and it works), it seems at the moment it's actually read in the client code straight from the backend, instead of going through the server. This means that TF2Items can't touch it .
