- Basically creates flares like those from The Sacrifice. On the ground or attached to players, either automatically when incapped or by player commands.
- Attaches a flashlight model to survivors which can be turned on/off.
- Converts the Grenade Launcher (L4D2 only) into a flare gun which can ignite entities and gives the shooter credit for kills etc.
Details:
- Root admins can drop a max of 16 simultaneous flares (up to 32 marked by l4d_flare_max_admin cvar), everyone else limited to 1.
- Total flares limited to 32 including grenade launcher flares (l4d_flare_max_total).
- The attached and ground flares play a burning sound (same one used for The Sacrifice flares)!
- You can create a white light by specifying '-1 -1 -1', does anyone want a cvar to block this? It's maybe too bright.
- The flare or flashlight colours can locked so players cannot change. Put the cvar l4d_flare_lock_colours to 1 and it will force the colours to what you specified in the config. (if anyone wants separate lock cvars for the (flashlight / ground flare / attached flare) please post a request here.
- The grenade launcher flare gun speed and gravity can be controlled with cvars, negative numbers will make the projectile fly in the opposite direction from where it was shot and fly upwards respectively.
- The flare gun can either explode like normal or bounce and ignite entities by changing the cvar l4d_flare_gun_bounce to 0 or 1 respectively.
- Flare gun projectiles explode normally when maximum flares/flare gun projectiles reached.
- Damage by the flare gun is applied maximum of twice a second on multiple touches and can be controlled by l4d_flare_gun_hurt and for special infected l4d_flare_gun_hurt_infected.
- If l4d_flare_gun_bounce is set to 1 players will be given a choice to disable the flaregun by typing !flaregun or with the !settings command. Setting the cvar to 2 will force the flare to bounce.
- The plugin also checks the command access overrides for 'sm_flare', 'sm_flareme' and 'sm_light' as well as providing cvars to control access flags.
Thanks:
- SilentBr - for the idea and request.
- Mr.RuyC - For recording the videos below and playing for hours and hours testing the plugin on his server.
- nakashimakun - Who came up with the plugin name and the clientprefs code for !flaregun. Also tested the plugin on his server.
- honorcode23, DJ_WEST, AtomicStryker, Boikinov, pimpinjuice and FoxMulder for source code (full credits inside the source).
- NanX, japan555, CeeJ, Farmer, SilentBr, sapphire989, Visual77 and everyone else who helped testing, it's been fun!
