Description
----------------------------------------------------
Tired of seeing "Only 1 team change is allowed"? This is the no-hassle solution
to your problems. Once installed, players have unlimited access to team changes.

This plugin is responsive to mp_limitteams. Use mp_limitteams 0 to ignore team size limits.

Server administrators can fine-tune settings, such as limits on how many team changes
players can use per round/map, whether players receive a suicide penalty for swapping
teams, and admin/donor immunities.

Installation
----------------------------------------------------
Place teamchange_unlimited.smx into the /addons/sourcemod/plugins directory.
Set convars in /cfg/sourcemod/teamchange_unlimited.cfg.
You can use /addons/sourcemod/configs/admin_overrides.cfg to change admin/donor benefits (see below)


Dependencies
----------------------------------------------------
Updater optional, with updater.inc required to compile.


Command Overrides
----------------------------------------------------
teamchange_unlimited_immunity - Admins in this command group receive team change immunity and can change teams an unlimited amount of times, regardless of map and round limits.
teamchange_unlimited_suicide_admin - Force suicide on alive admins who switch teams. Admins in this command group will have suicide rules determined by cvar sm_teamchange_unlimited_suicide_admin instead of sm_teamchange_unlimited_suicide.

You can use admin_groups.cfg or admin_overrides.cfg to change command permissions.

Example admin_overrides.cfg:

Overrides
{
	"teamchange_unlimited_immunity" "bo"
	"teamchange_unlimited_suicide_admin" "z"
}

In this example, only admins/donors that have both "b" and "o" admin flags ignore map/round team change limits, and admins that have the "z" flag abide by different suicide rules when changing teams.

Notes
----------------------------------------------------
sm_teamchange_unlimited_penalty

Spoiler

• A 0 in the n-th digit indicates the team change interaction defined by n will not be counted.
• A 1 in the n-th digit indicates the team change interaction defined by n will be counted.
• List of interactions [n]:
  • 0: Auto-assign (unassigned) to spectate
  • 1: Auto-assign (unassigned) to terrorist
  • 2: Auto-assign (unassigned) to counter-terrorist
    
  • 3: Spectate to auto-assign
  • 4: Spectate to terrorist
  • 5: Spectate to counter-terrorist
    
  • 6: Terrorist to auto-assign
  • 7: Terrorist to spectate
  • 8: Terrorist to counter-terrorist
    
  • 9: Counter-terrorist to auto-assign
  • 10: Counter-terrorist to spectate
  • 11: Counter-terrorist to terrorist
• The left-most digit is n = 0, with the right-most digit representing n = 11.
• E.G.: sm_teamchange_unlimited_penalty "000000001001" means that only events 8 (t to ct) and 11 (ct to t) will count toward team changes.

• While tested on CS:GO, it should, in theory, work on any mod.
• The plugin won't move players or count it against them if they switch to the team they're already on (even through auto-assign).
• Use mp_limitteams 0 for unrestricted team sizes, otherwise set it to your liking.
• They say life is a battlefield...

Can you add functionality for spectators to join teams without restrictions. 'Cause right now as I understand, you can count Team to Spect, Team/Spect to OtherTeam. Function for Only Spect to Team would be nice.

I tried [a previous version of] this plugin a few days ago and it works great on my gungame server but I had to remove it from my Minigames server and my Course/Climb Maps server. The problem on those servers is that I need the plugin to respect a given maps spawn points, and not allow players to join a team they otherwise would not be allowed to join due to spawns. By this, i mean that many course/climb maps only have spawn points for one team. I tried this on my Course/Climb server to allow people to go in and out of Spec, but it allows them to join the team they shouldnt be able to, and this restarts the match/round and gets abused.

So, any way this plugin can be made to force people to either select Spec or Auto-Join only ? Even if i had to define map by map, which team players should be on (using per map configs) i'd be fine with that..

Blehh well while the spirit of the plugin is to have allow for unhindered team changes, I can see how that's a problem for climb servers. I'll put in team join restrictions in a newer version.

New version

• 1.2.2 (22 January 2013)
  -Added convars to restrict joining specific teams.

Unfortunately I don't see a way to force players to join the correct team in a climb map without map-specific configs. I'm assuming some maps only have T spawn points while others have CT spawn points, so you'll have to adjust. You should also restrict joining Auto-Assign outright, since it randomizes the team.

But I get it, you want unrestricted switching between spectate and only one team, which is exactly what I designed this plugin for, although I didn't think about climb and surf maps. It's nicer than having to type /spec and /respawn or something like that.

its pretty cool how these updates are being released 10 months in the future lol.

Hi,

I was reading this thread and i find the exact same problem as mine.
Anyone found a Solution for this?

Can you do small version plugin for options:

To work for the values​​:

mp_forcecamera 1 (only see team)
mp_limitteams 1

Plugin useful for value "mp_forcecamera 1" because when you use AFK Manager and the player will move to the observer must wait 2 rounds to be able to play or reconnect :/

If you set sm_teamchange_unlimited_penalty to "011000101101", you will be able to freely move to and from the spectator team, as the image explains. Players shouldn't need to wait two turns to rejoin a team. I tested it and I can move back to a team just fine after afk manager puts me into spectate...
