Now redux by me, luki1412. I didn't want the mod to die, but the last version had a lot of problems. The main one being - crash when giving player a knife. EquipPlayerWeapon is the cause. I didn't want to use TF2Items just so I can replace 1 weapon for 1 person. I couldnt find a way to fix this but I did at last. TF2 Items is not required. I used to love this mod so Im bringing it back.
Description:
Never heard of this mod before? Its based on The Hidden:Source mod - https://www.hidden-source.com/. Basically a variant of One person vs Everyone else(like vs saxton hale). On the red team you have players(called team IRIS) with no special abilities but you have the quantity. On the blue team you have The Hidden. Its a permanently cloaked spy, only revealed when attacking or using his abilities. The objective is pretty simple - kill the hidden before he kills you.
What's different from the version by atomic-penguin and Daniel Murray?
the hidden no longer has the ability to boo, he has a cluster bomb instead
added a lot of cvars so you can customize the mod
players are no longer allowed to switch their team just to be on the same team as the hidden
the command for forcing the next hidden is now working correctly and wont make a spectator the next hidden
removed unused code and afk for hidden
added a hunger meter for the hidden, if it reaches 100%, the hidden dies
fixed the problem with tf2 assistances - if the hidden were to die from hunger or a suicide, tf2 would give the frag to the last person that damaged him. tf2 still showing the assistance but he wont become the next hidden
the next hidden selection is based on the damage done to the hidden(or selected randomly if not killed by a player)
the plugin now properly compiles even if you dont have the steamtools inc file
the hidden now takes no fall damage
the hidden's hp is now properly calculated based on the number of players on the server
you can now modify hp, the hidden gets after a kill
pounce was modified so you can stick to the walls and look around
backstabs gib the victim, butterknife kills restore health
there is a cvar for heavies/pyros so you can replace their primary weapons
there are cvars for engies so you can limit their buildings
there is a cvar for removing razorbacks
the autoexeccfg is now properly named and the version cvar is removed from the file
the hidden now wont die when he wins - he just gets his powers removed
setting multiple tf2 cvars so the mod is working properly
you can block taunts or taunt damage
the hidden's jump now uses stamina
there is a cvar that allows iris team to turn to ghosts after death
fixed all bugs I could find
the hidden preference
a lot of code optimization
Cvars:
This plugin autocreates a config file, you can use to change cvars(in cfg/sourcemod). If I add new cvars, you have to remove this file so it gets recreated with the new cvars, or add them in yourself.
PHP Code:
//version cvar - do not edit
sm_thehidden_version
// Enables/disables the hidden mod redux
sm_thehidden_enabled "1"
// Amount of hp used for calculating the Hidden's starting/max hp.
sm_thehidden_hpbase "300"
// This amount of hp, multiplied by the number of players, plus the base hp, equals The Hidden's hp.
sm_thehidden_hpincreaseperplayer "70"
// The Hidden's stamina.
sm_thehidden_stamina "20.0"
// Time til the Hidden dies without killing.
sm_thehidden_starvationtime "100.0"
// How much time the Hidden is visible for, after throwing the cluster bomb.
sm_thehidden_visiblebomb "1.5"
// How much time the Hidden is visible for, after taking weapon damage.
sm_thehidden_visibledamage "0.5"
// How much time the Hidden is visible for, when splashed with jarate, mad milk, or bonked.
sm_thehidden_visiblejarate "1.0"
// How much time the Hidden is visible for, when dashing.
sm_thehidden_visiblepounce "0.25"
// Forces bots to be snipers
sm_thehidden_forcebotsclass "1"
Some of the cvars(mainly cooldown cvars) above wont take effect until the next round starts, because it would break the functionality of the mod. If it is a time period cvar, its not in seconds but in server ticks (0.01 is one tick). Default values should be fine for most servers.
Commands:
PHP Code:
sm_nexthidden <player> //console command that forces the player specified to be the next hidden, regardless of who wins the round. Cant select a player that isnt on RED/BLU
sm_hiddennext <player> //same as sm_nexthidden
sm_hiddenhelp //console command, the help menu
sm_hiddenpref //console command, the pref menu
sm_hiddenpreference //same as sm_hiddenpref
//each command above can be triggered from chat by replacing sm_ with / for silent execution or ! for public execution
Installation:
It was tested and made for sourcemod 1.11 so I recommend to compile it yourself or use the attached compiled version.
This mod only works on arena maps, so you might want to set your server's starting map to an arena map.
SteamWorks is needed only for changing the game in server browser. This plugin autogenerates a config file on load, in tf/cfg/sourcemod.
Installing the plugin without SteamWorks:
Download thehiddenmodredux.smx and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\plugins
Download the.hidden.mod.redux.txt file and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\gamedata
Extract translations.zip into tf\addons\sourcemod\translations
Restart your server
Installing the plugin with SteamWorks(thread link):
Download the SteamWorks extention and install it
Download thehiddenmodredux.smx and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\plugins
Download the.hidden.mod.redux.txt and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\gamedata
Extract translations.zip into tf\addons\sourcemod\translations
Restart your server
How to compile the plugin yourself:
Download steamworks.inc and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\scripting\includes<-- this step is optional. if you dont want game change then ignore this
Download thehiddenmodredux.sp and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\scripting
Download morecolors.inc and put it in tf\addons\sourcemod\scripting\includes
Compile the plugin (on Windows, run compile.exe)
Your compiled plugin is now in tf\addons\sourcemod\scripting\compiled and its name is now TheHiddenModRedux.smx. Install it.

Recommended changes:
The plugin wont change these settings but you should consider modifying them: tf_forced_holiday 2 - halloween mode allows you to show halloween hats, but also shows a soul coming to you when you kill someone. That is bad because it would reveal the hidden's position. mp_forcecamera 0 - allows you to spectate anyone, including the hidden. People could reveal his position to others. tf_weapon_criticals 1 - random crits should be off because crits do a lot of damage but you might wanna bump the hiddens hp and leave them on. its on you. sv_alltalk 1 - you should decide whether you want this on or off. tf_arena_preround_time 10 - it's the pre-round time, before the gates open and you cant change your class after the time has passed. default is 10s. max is 15s. I use 15s. Not enforced by the mod.
You should disable any team balancing plugins so they dont break the mod.
Dont run this mod on dev versions of Sourcemod. They usually break it.
If you want the Hidden to look like someone/something else, use a plugin like this.
To do list:
- add a translation file
- block taunt damage
- get rid of pointless deaths and frags
- add reimplement ghosts
- add help menu
- fix superjump
- hidden preference
- make pyros and heavies more fun to play
Is this a complete rewrite or can i use this with the previous hidden mod? We have a multimod server just wondering how much would need to be reconfigured.

Not a complete rewrite but a lot has been changed. Dont think you can use it with the previous version. The previous versions of this mod crash the server. You cant run it without a fix. Besides, the previous version has a lot of bugs, like players joining the blue team. I fixed majority of the bugs present in the previous versions. Plus, I changed a lot of stuff, including the code (changes are mentioned in the first post).
to leave this plugin usable, put an option to activate or deactivate the plugin.
I will use this plugin on a multimod server and keep forcing the plugin to disable with unload commands is bad, not to give conflict between the other plugins.

You can disable the plugin with sm_thehidden_enabled 0 .
plugin doesnt compile
please fix i really want to play this with my friends on my server
It does. I have to try and compile the plugin before posting it here, because it cant have warnings/errors when its here. Just tested and it compiles fine on the latest stable version of Sourcemod. Dont use dev version, because it wont work well on dev versions of Sourcemod.
It wont compile here. I mentioned it above. Added a compiled version, because the online compiler doesnt work.
