    Description:
    Allows for the running of the helms deep reborn map on a sourcemod server and responds to built in commands

    Installation:
    put l4d2_helmsdeep.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins

    Credits:
    everyone who helped me in the sourcemod discord server

    The author of the map placed code inside the .vpk in a .nut file with the following code that would check if sourcemod was running and kick everyone who tried to join
    Code:
    	if ( !HelmsServerInfo.checked_plugins )
    	{
    		local metamodVersion = Convars.GetStr("metamod_version");
    		local sourcemodVersion = Convars.GetStr("sourcemod_version");
    	
    		if ( !metamodVersion && !sourcemodVersion )
    			HelmsServerInfo.has_plugins = false;
    		else
    			HelmsServerInfo.has_plugins = true;
    		
    		HelmsServerInfo.checked_plugins = true;
    	}
    	
    	if ( HelmsServerInfo.has_plugins )
    	{
    		foreach( player in Players.Humans() )
    		{
    			SendToServerConsole( "kickid " + player.GetSteamID() + " " + "This server is using plugins, please join a different server" );
    		}
    	}
    what this plugin does is intercept the kickid command (with that matching string) and stop it from being used and allowing all players to join

    Updates:
    Now has better map detection (by request)
    Psyk0tik (discord) has improved the donator command
    Now it is menu driven to get the item you want
    Has the cvar to enable or disable the donator menu
    Updated Syntax (by request)
    Now has spawn limits to prevent spamming

    I wasn't aware this was even an issue. Great job!



    The authors of this map probably didn't want SM to conflict with the vscripts they use for the map.

    Good job, the alternative method I was telling people to hex edit and replace the code with spaces.


    Mix of old and new syntax and remove the .SMX it's not required since the plugin compiles on the forum when you click 'Get Plugin').

    and what's this about?
    PHP Code:
    if (strcmp(sArgs"!donator"false) == 0
    Something for your personal server? You should use command listener and to listen to sm_donator and not checking for /donator or !donator strings.

    Right now ANYONE can join and type !donator to be given items, as many times as they want. Please keep this off the public release since it's totally unrelated to what this plugin is doing.

    You don't need to CreateEntity to give the items, just use the function GivePlayerItem.

    LOL

    THAT is probably one of the reasons why the authors don't want SM to run with the map. They won't get anymore donations if people just use SM to give players all the custom melee weapons when they type "!donator"!

    I can see why this guy used a command listener for it. xD

    That's actually part of the map? How lame. The command should be limited to that map only then. Since you're not listening for any command, why not RegConsoleCommand("sm_donator") ?

    Wouldn't this be fixable by extracting the VPK contents, and re-VPKing them without that .nut file?

    From a server owner's perspective, that can be easier said than done.

    It'd take me about a minute to do it

    Extract contents from VPK into a folder using GCFScape, delete .nut file, click and drag folder onto vpk.exe file in like, steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin, done. VPK.exe generates a new VPK file of the map and whatever else, minus the .nut. Or, better yet, modify the .nut to make it harmless. I doubt the map requires the files existence to run. I'm not sure what a .nut file is either, nor am I sure how it would even get initialized (unless there's some entity in the map that calls it somehow?), but it sounds fairly easy to remove the damn thing outright.
