How can I disable this HUD?



It constantly pops up even when I hit exit. Using foxhound27's version on my server.

I know this might be more or less of an issue, but extra bots always respawn at the end of a round towards the new map, making them lose their equipment. I've noticed however that if a player controlled that bot in the past, the server remembers it and in turn doesn't respawn anymore, even if that player has left the server later on.

Is it possible to fix such thing?

Edit: Found a fix.

@foxhound27 Could be missing something but the cvars to increase tank health or horde doesn't work. I did try the tankhpfix as well, unfortunately with no good result.

Alright! Here's what I think may be the final update of this plugin, given that I had the time to quickly test it and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, my buddies gave me the green light as well so!

There is a lot of customization added and fixes for all it's previous issues with CI, SI and the Tank, even in Versus! Should the plugin now update each time a new client connect or disconnect and will print it's intended stats in everyone's console.

It was also updated to work with Left4DHooks for the extra Co-Op SI which can be found here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=321696

Credits to my good friends coding skills for it found in the plugin description.

Edit: Re-Download the plugin if you haven't already, there was a mistake that kept doubling the tank HP, cvars were also added so that the horde can still be manipulated instead of hard coded.

Edit 2: Revised and showed consistent results.

Edit 3: Optimized with recommendations and fixed some more mistakes.

Edit 4: ... One last mistake, hopefully. SI Health would go up on a player join but not go back to lower values when a player left.

Edit 5: Added difficulty check for survivor bots when they are kicked.

Edit 6: Added First Aid Kits on finales that aren't gauntlets to keep things fair with extra survivors, fixed the auto-join to take control of live survivor in Co-Op regardless of the survivor set/characters when player count is still 4, it used to ignore those and would connect players dead or as a 5th survivor instead, forcing humans to kick a bot.

PHP Code:

    // If lobby is full, KillRes is true and l4dt is present, unreserve lobby
    if(KillRes.BoolValue && IsServerLobbyFull() && l4dt()) 


 && l4dt()

This is no longer required since left4dhooks added support for L4D_LobbyUnreserve() now. I'll leave it up to others to adjust, too many different versions here.

Fixed accordingly! Have a look if you ever get time.

Posting so people know that this was updated again, probably the last, hopefully!

Looks good, supports both left4downtown and left4dhooks, doesn't matter which version it's run on. Good job.

Skimmed through the source and it seems like SuperVersus has just turned into a combination of a lot of different plugins. I did not look through the whole source, but these are the things that I noticed.

These are not game breaking bugs by any means, however optimization and good coding practices.

- Missing the new-style declaration.

PHP Code:

 #pragma newdecls required; 


- Events are using old style syntax.

PHP Code:

public void Event_(Handle event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
} 


PHP Code:

public void Event_(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int  client = GetClientOfUserId(event.GetInt("userid"));
} 


- Older syntax again.

PHP Code:

    decl String:z_difficulty[16]; 


PHP Code:

    char z_difficulty[16]; 


- Repetition of FindConvar. Cache them and then reuse them if you need them. This way you can hook and add convar change to see track when they get updated.

In fact, the FindConvar native is being called 79 times. That should not happen in SuperVersus or 99% of the other plugins at all.

PHP Code:

FindConVar is cached SM side now-a-days, not sure since which SM version. Sure it's still a bit faster to cache yourself, and a bit faster again to use cvar change hooks to only read once/on change but it's not as slow as it used to be. Still, something I recommend and will always do in my own plugins. When you have a server with increased tickrate, 250+ plugins these small changes done in most plugins really go a long way to increase server performance, and considering this plugin is for increased slots I'm sure it'll help. Not sure how often they're actually called in this plugin, unlike some where cvars are queried in OnGameFrame, Think functions or fast repeating timers, that's really where optimizing helps.
