altering player configs

That's how you do it.

I haven't looked at your code, but I don't think this method would work for what I need. I believe your method would work only if we were taking the original weapons into account, but I want to add a lot of new weapons as well, and reorganize the menu, and since I can't change the vgui menu I'll go with a new menu.

I think this is what people call slowhacking, I don't want to use such methods.

"client_buy_open" command is called when you open a VGUIMenu, but you can not block it like "buy".

[SeriousSam]

Even if I can't block it, can't I still somehow hook it and after it's called execute a engclient_cmd(id,"menuselect","10") to close it and start a new menu?

[Arkshine]

Don't know, not tried. Just client_buy_open and client_buy_close exist to tell server VGUI menu is opened/closed.

[SeriousSam]

Ok, I should try then... But how can I get when client_buy_open is called? Something like that? : register_menucmd(register_menuid("client_buy_ open",1), 511, "hook_buymenu")

register_clcmd

[SeriousSam]

So, in other words register_clcmd("client_buy_open", "open_buymenu"), and then
open_buymenu(id)
{
engclient_cmd(id,"menuselect","10")
show_newmenu(id)
}
and something similar for old-style menus. I'll try later if this works, thanks a lot

EDIT: just found out this in google, looks like something similar, I'll try it as well

PHP Code:

public client_command(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
        return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
    
    static cmd_list[][] = { "buy", "buyequip", "autobuy", "cl_autobuy", "cl_rebuy" }
    static command[16], i; read_argv(0, command, 15)

    for(i = 0; i < sizeof cmd_list; i++) if(equal(command, cmd_list[i]))
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    
    if(equal(command, "client_buy_open"))
    {
        static msg_buyclose; if(!msg_buyclose) msg_buyclose = get_user_msgid("BuyClose")
        message_begin(MSG_ONE, msg_buyclose, _, id), message_end()
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

You should use register_clcmd, but yes it should work. Though calling BuyClose is not immediate, you still see the menu during 0.1 or 0.2s.
