[TF2/Any?] Pause the Game
v. 18.0114.0

This plugin facilitates the simple function of pausing and unpausing the game. This requires the cvar sv_pausable to be set to 1. If this cvar is set to a non-true value, this plugin will not function.

Normally, all players have access to the "pause", "setpause", and "unpause" commands on servers where sv_pausable is enabled. This plugin restricts usage of the commands to only players who have access to the override sm_pause. sm_pause is itself a command that can be used to quickly pause/unpause the game from the chatbox. Further, this plugin allows the pause and sm_pause commands to be used by the server console, which is normally not possible.

It is not necessary to override "pause", "unpause", "setpause", "sm_unpause" or "sm_setpause". Overriding only sm_pause will function as if you are overriding all these commands.
