This update, and the one prior, is steering the mod's purpose towards identification of shooter location rather than customization of weapon choices. There's a better suited plugin for that already, where as this one is more team oriented. That being said, however, I've added the basic structure to allow for two types of users: those with access and those without. The access feature isn't required for normal usage and is disabled by default, but when enabled, only users with the Custom 4 flag (default, edit script to change) or Tracer_Access override gain the ability to modify their personal tracer / become immune to forced team tracers or forced random tracers. This allows you to allow donators to have custom content, while still forcing everyone else to use a specific tracer.

Revision 1.2.3
---------------
Removed cvar sm_tracer_effects_force_t, as feature is determined by sm_tracer_effects.ini
Removed cvar sm_tracer_effects_force_ct, as feature is determined by sm_tracer_effects.ini
Plugin now has optional structure for two separate user types, and the ability to restrict personal tracer changes to one group if they have the Tracer_Access override or Custom 4 flag (default: edit script to change).
Added support for restricting individual tracers to a custom override, or the Custom 5 flag (default: edit script to change).
The sm_tracer_effects.ini and its loading mechanism have been reworked to be a tad more easier to use.
- Certain elements will have their values assumed if no data is provided.
- Ability to flag tracers as team colored, so that they're red/blue respectively (or whatever colors you please).
Users with Tracer_Access or Custom 4 flag can override the force team tracer / force random tracer feature, if those cvars are not set to prevent such.
Expanded the functionality of the force team tracer / force random tracer cvars to allow a second option, a value of 2, which forces all players to obey (including those with access).
Removed support for "Foreign" tracer modifications (where users could select the tracer of attacking enemies), as it didn't seem necessary.

This crashes for me once I load a bot the bot shoots. I can shoot, but no trace is visible on my screen.

I haven't tried it with any human players yet, that may be related.

Same on windows server

I wasn't able to reproduce your issue, but I found the source of the problem. It seems the .zip contains an outdated gamedata file; it has been re-uploaded with the latest Weapon_ShootPosition value. On a related note, you can check the value yourself at http://sourcemodplugins.org/pages/vtableoffsets/ when there are updates. I've also updated the .cfg in the zip so that the values are a tad more correct for defaults.

I just found this as well,

"windows" "258"
"linux" "259"

[bryan4tw]

And it works great! Thanks!

thanks a lot!

Would it be possible to add a command were you could have a sound played

I ask this as we are going to host a star wars themed night and this plugin would be perfect , but it would be even better if it had an option to play a sound like it does in star wars
