Changes from previous version

Able to enable/disable individual items by using cvars
Changed main cvar to sv_merchant
Dead players can purchase anything except for life and armor
Cooldown 1 minute before and 1 minute after map changes
Disabled frag and armor purchases by default
Reduced code clutter and cut down the size of the plugin

If you want to try the new version before installing it or want to get an idea how to balance the cvars, you can check it out on my server. The IP is in my signature.

DANG THAT IS SEXY DUDE.. i love it

[werdpad]

thanks! in furture versions i plan to just put all the commands in a menu for the casual merchant user and auto-bind them to F9-F12 for the habitual merchant users.

im also going to try to upload the exp begger filter i made. its like a swear filter but more advanced. it only catches select key phrases but 9 times out of 10 it will filter someone begging for exp, and it has multiple consequences ranging from simply deleting the line, to closing their client depending on how much the server op hates beggers

im pretty new at plugin writing so if anybody notices any mistakes or ways to improve the coding of this plugin let me know

shm_buyapcost 1500   //cost per purchase of armor amount
shm_buyfrcost 1000   //cost per purchase of armor amount

What is the different ?

Also can you make it, so that it is possible to enable the buyxp part only ???

[whiteboikyle]

ya u should make it so u can also turn off any of the buying options.

[werdpad]

ok, ill try to get that in this weekend. basically you just want it so they can only buy xp, no hp fr or ap?

[whiteboikyle]

no make it so u can toogle any of them on or off.

[jtp10181]

suggestion, make it so if the cvars "shm_buyxpamt", and similar, are set to "0" disable that buying option.

[vittu]

I don't get why there are 3 cvars to turn it on/off?

shm_buyenabled 1
shm_buyon
shm_buyoff

Also, why should people be able to buy frags? I also think your giving too much hp and ap to buy, but they are cvars so...

shm_buyenabled is a server side cvar, that you can use to disable the entire plugin in the config file, or at the server console.
shm_buyon and shm_buyoff are client side admin commands to enabled or disable the entire plugin

i think the default is lower, the examples shown of the cvars above are taken from my server where i balanced everything out and you can always customize the cvars

thanks for the suggestion jtp im gonna use that method to keep the amount of cvars low
