the original developer of this plugin has stopped working on it so iv'e taken over too fix a few bugs and add some new features.

original post
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=273312

current changes
- can change classes before round starts.
- fixed class limit exploit
- added command "!classes" to show who is what class.
- added command "!classinfo" to show what each class does.
- saboteur goes invisible faster and moves faster while crouched
- commando now gets different bonus damage for different guns
- changed engineer to work with auto turrets.

- turrets no longer require another plugin. (combining the 2 plugins into 1 removed a very large exploit)

- fixed possible server crashing bug related to engineer class.
- medic keeps healing ability if killed and defib'd.
- fixed flying athlete bug


ill try to keep this updated as i make changes so the server admins can keep there servers updated too.

not sure why get plugin wont work.(it compiles fine with the online compiler) so ill leave a compiled version as well.


Updated version with various fixes by Silvers found here.

(smx deleted by Silvers, not required, compiler was set to 1.1 and should have been set to a newer verison. Had 121 views.)

Anyway of the plugn not showing up on screen as players join?

My server has a rules set on join and this plugin is bugging out with it

and is there a way to disable some of the classes?
not to happy about the ATHLETE class the whole autobunny hop is a fast pass on my server anyway of disabling it?

maybe adding a cvar to make it where players can switch or can not switch roles so players stay the class they picked though the whole Campaign and not swtich all the time?

So the tallents where designed for versus, cant guarantee it to work for campaign.

the medic is meant to only heal teammates, ie so you have to protect your medic.

The saboteur does work however you wont be able to tell if you're invisible you just have to count seconds. It will not hide you from ai tho. The bombs should be si only triggerd, so commons and witch wont set it off, only play controllable infected will, the bombs are meant to be hidden so infected trigger them.

The brawlers only ability is meant to be a crazy amount of heath. The original plugin creators had a massive fight over it so it was nerver 100% completed.

As for athlete just get yourself a plugin to block bhopping, that should fix block bhop for you. im not sure why your jump was so low. Never seen that weird bouncing before makes me think it was another plugin doing it.

The engineer wont work until the round started, thats a reason campaign isnt really suported, same reason the selected class doesn't lock.

I might try adding support for campaign but no guarantees.

In the Event_PlayerSpawn function, comment out the CreateTimer func call for CreatePlayerClassMenuDelay (and the "else" on the line above it), then recompile.

Sure, just set: sm_cvar talents_athelete_max "0"

Hi, i have a ask for you, there are someway to do that sm_cvar execute automatically when i start the server? like a CVAR in the .TXT, i tried already put in my "cvar.txt" but doesn´t works.

[Silvers]

This plugin is poorly written. Loads of warnings when I compiled from the first post. Various unused code left in there. Passing client and entity indexes into timers.

Uploaded a some what fixed version (took me over 20 mins). Now using entity references and client user IDs into timers and checking they are valid on timer callback.

This plugin still causes crashes apparently, I don't have the time to go through it. The whole thing needs a re-write really.

This will not work with SM 1.11 and I will not be supporting this plugin anymore. Author is still active, suggest they maintain.

[yani]

I began rewrite operation for this awesome plugin, feel free to contribute with bug reports, ideas, pull requests or constructive feedback.

First phase goal would be to separate the classes and perks as separate plugins, so you can combine those in config file and keep the code in manageable condition.
Second would be to enhance the experience without breaking the vibe of the original.
I'll try to include as simple instructions as possible to add new plugins.




https://github.com/janiluuk/L4D2_DLRTalents

Changes:

- "It follows" - mode: Each player gets dedicated witch coming after them 1 minute after leaving saferoom.
- Antigravity mode
Cleaner UI, menu option to turn hint texts off. Common HUD component which manages, prioritizes and combines the hint texts properly.
Integrate game instructor UI to be utilized for counters, and other live indicators.
Show player class above their head (Using "Hats" plugin, missing graphics for it)
Engineer can build different types of defences
Saboteur can see infected outlines when in "predator mode". Instakill if manages to sneak up behind.
Smoker should have much more visible and thick cloud when gets killed.
Rewrite for missile plugin to fit better with this one
Add more plugins including berserk mode, jetpack, special grenades.
Incap players can fight with attacker with some keys, if indicator goes back to zero, player is freed.
When incapacitated without supplies and you have kit available, ask survivor if want to consume it.
Revamp infected skills to match the added ones for survivors;
Infected can bite survivors, after defined about of time player turns into a witch for 30 seconds. If the witch gets killed, player gets killed, otherwise transform back to playable character.
Charger can drop survivor and continue running
Hunter can use boost for ultra long jumps
Jockey can make player shoot others with FF damage while riding
Smoker can shove opponent to any direction when pinned, e.g throw out of window.
Hunter can masquerade as survivor for 30 second time (Using LMC)
More suggestions welcome!

[eyeonus]

The Engineer turret is not auto-firing like it's supposed to. It just sits there. Any ideas why?

[azureblue]

This plugin is great!, but sad no one willing to update this plugin to works perfectly in co-op campaign mode and maybe also can improve some classes like saboteur, athlete and brawler ability which those classes are less useful than any other classes. Or at least remove errors in console about TimerLoadCLient and TimerLoadGlobal in console which always spamming every second. thanks!

[Marttt]

Not hard to fix the TimerLoadClient but this plugin has too many lines that may fix one thing and appear another broken.

Btw timers should always be called using userid or entity reference, as good practise, to prevent this kind of errors.

A quick fix would be checking if the client is connected inside the timer.
