Here is the Mutant Tanks v8.79 mega plugin with no admin menu (cuz some server owners like the order of there admin menus) and an original menu version PLUS all abilities disabled. Only the cool skins, lighting/particle effects, and custom coloring. Had to remove Blind Tank .smx because blinding would occur occasionally no matter what I adjusted in mutant_tanks.cfg. Also, the tanks were renamed at liberty for humorous effect. How to adjust the mutants_tank.cfg is explained in the CVAR INFORMATION.txt file in the data folder and the main 7zip archive root directory. This took many hours to fine tune and is for dumb server owners like myself. Extract addons and cfg folders and upload to server.

I was thinking of adding an option to disable the admin menu but the admin menu is prepared before all config files are executed so it's not feasible. However, you should know that the README file already explains how to sort your admin menu items to have a certain arrangement, which is a feature provided by SourceMod itself. As for disabling abilities, users can already do that by moving all the related plugins to the "disabled" folder, so including the original version in your package isn't really required.

The things that I see wrong with your revision are:

1. You removed admin menu support but you left all the other code that provides back support for it, therefore your revision is incomplete.
2. You restricted all console commands provided by MT to root ("z" flag) admins only which goes against the purpose of most of the commands. Some are used for debugging, one is used by Versus players to change their Mutant Tank type or view information about each ability, and the rest help admins know certain information about MT such as the current version.

Thats a huge update, thanks!

I remember updating from a 6-months-old version to 8.79 version, so I did multant_tanks data cfg from zero and it took me a lot of time.

My question is: updating from 8.79 to 8.80, Could I simply edit my data and insert the new tanks (fly & lightning)? I really don't want to do everything again from zero

You don't have to start from scratch, but you will have to keep a note of the following changes:

1. Moved the following settings to the "Tank #/Glow" and "STEAM_ID/Glow" sections:
- "Glow Enabled"
- "Glow Color"
- "Glow Flashing"
- "Glow Range"
- "Glow Type"

In v8.79, they were all under "Tank #/General" and "STEAM_ID/General".

2. Moved the following settings to the "Tank #/Boss" and "STEAM_ID/Boss" sections:
- "Boss Health Stages"
- "Boss Stages"
- "Boss Types"

In v8.79, they were all under "Tank #/Spawn" and "STEAM_ID/Spawn".

3. Moved the following settings to the "Tank #/Random" and "STEAM_ID/Random" sections:
- "Random Tank"
- "Random Interval"

In v8.79, they were all under "Tank #/Spawn" and "STEAM_ID/Spawn".

4. Moved the following settings to the "Tank #/Transform" and "STEAM_ID/Transform" sections:
- "Transform Delay"
- "Transform Duration"
- "Transform Types"

In v8.79, they were all under "Tank #/Spawn" and "STEAM_ID/Spawn".

5. Moved the following settings to the "Plugin Settings/Announcements", "Tank #/Announcements", and "STEAM_ID/Announcements" sections:
- "Announce Arrival"
- "Announce Death"

In v8.79, they were all under "Plugin Settings/General", "Tank #/General", and "STEAM_ID/General".

If you know how to work with RegEx, you can apply these changes to your config file within minutes. Just know that all the settings mentioned above will stop working for you in v8.80 unless you move them to their new designated sections.

I have been experiencing a game crash (not server) with meteor power. Is there any way to fix it?
My server stays running but everyone in the game CTDs whenever a meteor is happening. The CTD is consistent with the meteor power for some reason...

Other people have reported this to me already so I released a revised copy of v8.80 on GitHub. Go ahead and redownload to see if the issue has been resolved.
