Version 8.85 is out!

Thank you to the following people who helped me throughout the process of making this update: Mi.Cura, ReCreator, epzminion, Dragokas, GL_INS

Thank you to the following people whose code really helped me understand more about SM and both L4D games in general: Lux, Pelipoika

Here are the main changes:

1. L4D2: Compatible with the 2.2.1.3 update.
2. Users can now create color presets in the config file that they can use for all color settings.
3. New native: MT_GetConfigColors (Used for retrieving and using color presets.)
4. Fixed crashing on Linux when Tank throws a rock.
5. Added the rainbow keyword as an option for several color settings. This keyword allows settings to cycle through all possible colors.

I updated the Mutant Tanks to the latest version as well as updating Sourcemod.
I excluded the recommended one because I don't want to increase melee attack speed unless it is really needed.

Upon launching the server, I get a crash (I uploaded the error log, it is not that long).
It seems to be related to the .smx files.

The folder structure changed. You have 2 separate sets of Mutant Tanks running.

Since v8.84, you only need 3 plugins:
- mt_abilities.smx
- mt_abilities2.smx
- mutant_tanks.smx

Hi Crasher,

I tried the new plugin, my server crashed after 30 seconds the tank was on the field. Im sure Im using all the new files (I just kept the old mutant_tanks.cfg)

Am I doing something wrong?

Which game? Linux or Windows? SM version? Accelerator crash logs? Any error logs?

You either have:
1. Outdated gamedata

Or

2. Old game version (only likely if your server is for L4D2)

Or

3. Multiple instances of MT running.

Hi Crasher.
I wanted to thank you for implementing my tank burn time suggestion.

Taking advantage of the fact that the servers were updated due to the last update of left 4 dead 2, I decided to wait and try version 8.85 of the Mutant Tanks.

I made a dedicated server for testing and uploaded your plugin with all the dependencies, when running the server I receive this in console:

PHP Code:

L 06/25/2021 - 16:36:27: SourceMod error session started

I have these plugins on the dedicated server:



Despite the error, Mutant Tanks run normally, although I did not do the test for all tanks.


Windows dedicated server
Sourcemod:
sourcemod-1.11.0-git6655-windows

Metamod:
mmsource-1.11.0-git1144-windows

Thanks for the report. Since Mutant Tanks is such a huge plugin, it can take awhile to startup. You can fix that error by disabling this setting inside core.cfg:

PHP Code:

/**
 * If a plugin takes too long to execute, hanging or freezing the game server in the process, 
 * SourceMod will attempt to terminate that plugin after the specified timeout length has
 * passed. You can disable this feature by setting the value to "0".
 */
"SlowScriptTimeout"    "0"

Thank you very much Crasher, the error has been solved.

Hello. After updating Mutant Tanks to version 8.85, some players get a "send reliable overflow stream" error. Everything is fine on version 8.83.

In what scenario does it happen on? How do you know it’s caused by MT? Any error logs?
