If the round end fires and then round start fires again, and the variables are not zero'd out, then you need to check teams and put everyone on the right team. You could also use the team index numbers (0,1,2,3,4) etc. instead of the signatures. Like I said, I am sure there is a reason you are doing it the way you are, just wondering if the method I mentioned would work (if you tried it), and if not why. I have a windows server so if this method worked, it would work for all.

I don't really understand your suggested method. In particular, "instead of the signatures." If you mean the SDKCall stuff, that's you can't use ChangeClientTeam() to move someone to survivor and have it do what you (probably) want. It won't "spawn" the player in or give them control of a survivor bot.

I don't use round_start or round_end because I only move people when the map begins. I just use OnMapStart to start team checking/fixing and player_team to store teams. I might end up using round_end to fix the problem ChillyWI is experiencing.

If you're suggesting to just use an array indexed by client ID to store teams, then I didn't want to assume everyone will get the same client ID after a map change's disconnect/reconnect. So I track by SteamID.

Almost all the complexity is just edge cases and making it as invisible to random players as possible. If I waited for everyone to load in and did a big mass swap, it'd be easier, but I know random llamas will quit in fear ("OMG WTF HAPPND TIHS SERVAR SUCKS"). Same reason I don't freeze everyone like Chilly asked. Even if I explain in a chat message, people are dumb. And playing 4 on 3 is terrible.

Most of the work is deciding who to swap, and whom to swap them with.

I'm not saying my code doesn't suck, though.

Ok that answers a lot of the questions right there. If that doesn't work then you would have to do it with SDK calls.

lol. Your code is fine

Was just wondering why you were doing it that way.

Try the attached smx. It's got debug on and might fix the unexpected full team swapping, but I haven't tested it at all (so it might not properly swap teams at all or make your computer explode or something as untested code is wont to do) and might not get a chance tonight. Don't load both copies of the plugin by accident, heh.

I think it might have worked, but I'll have to test it some more. We played one game tonight. For some reason I had to switch manually on the second stage, but like I said, I'll have to test it some more.

Fixed that. Try this new test version.

Think it worked. We played one game and everyone ended up on the right teams, with us getting swapped around at least twice. Looking good so far, but I'll test some more and report back.

The latest built appears to work perfectly. It even re-scrambled an entire team when we just tried it.

I cannot thank you enough for this mod, it's an absolute life-saver and is, without question, the best mod out right now (in as much as the pain is relieves!).

Thank you so much. You should know that hundreds of people enjoy your mod on our server

Keep up the good work.

Updated main post with another bug fix, newer than the last test version. Still no Windows, sorry.

Debug On , the return on that last version ^^ ?
