L4D2 ONLY

Description

With the L4D2 Last Stand update, some of the new things brought are new skins for weapons (e.g.: golden crowbar).

This plugin applies random skins to spawned weapons.

Features

• Applies a random skin to weapon entities on spawn.
• Allows equipping weapons with the same skin from the spawner entities. (e.g.: weapon_rifle_spawn)
• Allows configuring which weapons should have RNG skin.
• Ignore weapons that already have a skin different than default.

Notes

• The skin change was achieved by changing the weapon "m_nSkin" netprop value.
• For spawner entities the "m_nWeaponSkin" is also changed to the same value.
• If the map, by default, changes the skin of a weapon, this plugin won't prevent it.
• When the weapon is already equipped (active) I had to apply the skin also to the "m_hViewModel" netprop, otherwise there is some delay on skins changes.
• Not all weapons have new skins and some aren't so different from the original one.
• The currently supported weapons are:
  Melees: Crowbar, Cricket Bat
  Pistols: Magnum
  SMGs: Uzi; Silenced
  Shotguns: Pump; Chrome; Auto
  Rifles: M16; AK47
  Sniper: Hunting Rifle
  Gascan
• These weapons have 2 new skins: Magnum; M16; AK47, the others just 1.
• Total of 14 new skins from 11 weapons.
• The gas can skin isn't affected by this plugin.
• By now, 29-September-2020, there are no more skins available.
• The plugin may not work properly for clients that use addons to change the weapon appearance.
• Enabling gascan RNG skin may glitch some plugins that check the skin to detect if is a scavenge one.
• I don't know if it conflicts with the "Golden Crowbar" achievement.

To Do

• Create a config to select the % chance to apply a different skin.

Marttt <3 good plugin

[Mi.Cura]

Great job my friend..

One way this could be improved even further, either with this plugin or the menu plugin (probably makes more sense for the menu plugin) is adding a cookie similar to what's seen with survivor chat select for the characters. Only here, the server would remember what skin you chose for the weapons you decided to choose them for.

Perhaps don't use EventHookMode_PostNoCopy?

PHP Code:

HookEvent("spawner_give_item", Event_SpawnerGiveItem, EventHookMode_PostNoCopy); 


[Psyk0tik]

This is awesome, Marttt! I was waiting for someone to make a plugin like this. Great job!

[foxhound27]

great job Mart ♥

[Mr. Man]

FYI the .cfg file has a text error: should be 0 for disabled and 1 for enabled. You have the same small problem in the Weapon Skin Menu thread.

[Smoak]

It's not really working for me, like, it never chooses any skins for the tier 1 guns and the tier 2 guns rarely get their skins in either. Is there a way to like, configure the likeliness that one skin appears compared to the other??
