I come from Quake hook mod, and then Oz/XDM, and being a "hook monkey", I understand your issues.
Damn, makes me seem old - Quake World was great though, HEHE.

My experience tells me that most players will say "cheater" because they know it upsets players, not because they believe it is a cheat.

What I have done on my server -
The HTML capable source server rules! You can set it up so that if "hook" is typed in chat, it will open up a webpage ;).
I made a page on my website, explaining how to enable the console & then bind the hook. Then I have "mystats" to take them to their personal stats on the site.
This has helped to shut many players up.

There is a sourcemod plugin for this (webshortcuts), but I am using mani's mod. It has the redirect to URL built in. To be honest, I cannot decide whether to go sourcemod only, or keep running both.

As far as the "real time" delay on the hook, that would be awesome. But I am clueless on how difficult these things are to make...
Truth is though, without delay, it makes things very interesting. Literaly makes the game more "extreme".

Anyway, simply wanted to reply to the "cheater" issue.

I solved it differently, for now, I'm giving all my game admins the right to insta ban players if he or she calls another player "cheater" for using the hook mod. I have set mani admin so that it shows in chat every 5 minutes or so how to bind the hook and I planted a howto message in the server's motd text. I mean it's assumed players read the motd, so if they don't, i don't want them in my server. I also made a trigger for players saying "hook" that will bring up the motd text. That's the best I can do.

I really like to see these 2 features added, I've tried myself, but I just can't grasp the concept of this new Pawn c-like language. I'm trying to port it to Python script though

Here is the latest version of this plugin that I am using. I have added convars to disallow the intel carrier from using the hook or the rope. There is also another convar to disallow grabbing the intel carrier, since that crashes servers These convars will automatically be turned off for mods other than TF2.

Aww I still have crashing issues with the above version using grab


If anyone can use grab without their tf2 server crashing, can you tell me which version of sourcemod you are using? I'm using version 1.1.0.2441

[Jouho]

Okay, I have hgr:source installed and was working fine for my cs:s server.

Grab - off (because it crashes server, not a big deal)
Rope - public
Hook - set to 1 so not everyone can use it.

However..... it seems at times that people that are NOT in the admin file or given permission via console command hgrsource_givehook are able to use hook.

Is there perhaps an error that for some reason enables people that are NOT supposed to have access are able to use hook?

I've since disabled hook because I don't want other people that I don't want to have access be able to use it.

Attached is the text for the plugin.hgrsource.cfg file from before. I don't understand why it messes up. Thank you.

[Jouho]
