[TF2] Unusual Taunts

Description:

This plugin allows players to apply unusual taunt effects while taunting! The Unusual Taunts Menu is fully updated by reading TF2 Schema every MapStart. Since items_game.txt doesn't have any information about the effect's names, I decided to go directly to the WebApi and fetch these names from there.

Requirements / Dependencies :

• SteamTools
• Available Steam API Key

Commands :

• !utaunt - Command for opening the unusual taunts menu.
• !unusualtaunt - Same as above.

Changelog:

1.0.2 - Fixed invalid handle error.
1.0.1 - Blocked more buggy taunts that might crash the server.
1.0 - Initial Release

The repository below contains specific Installation Instructions. Please follow them or else the plugin might not function properly.

Assuming you followed the instructions in the repository, that error is being generated due to errors in the HTTP request (since there are many HTTP status codes), I'll add a block when this happens.

EDIT: I'll also add a repeating timer that will try to fetch the data from the WebAPI again.

Thanks for the update. Now getting this error in chat: [SM] There was an error with the server's HTTP Request, try again later.

No error in server error log.

I've made a slight change to my code. It's up to the HTTP status codes now. If that doesn't help, then there's nothing else I can do.

Thanks for the update.

Problem: I received the log error "[utaunts.smx] Could not fetch unusual taunts (HTTP status 403)"
Cause: My api key was formatted wrong. When I cut/pasted my api key it was in the format of "key: abcdefg"
Solution: Changed the api key from "key: abcdefg" to read "abcdefg" in sourcecode. Recompile plugin.
Plugin now works.

It's an impressive plugin. Thanks for making it!

Can you make it that specific player can use specific unusual taunt?

Not sure what you meant here, players can pick any effect on the menu, effects are not shared with other players.
