TF2 Class Warfare

About
A Team Fortress 2 mod that restricts each team to a single random class.
I've had fun with silly mono-class rushes and thought and it would made a fun mode.

ConVars
sm_classwarfare_enabled (0/1, default 1)
Enable/disable restricting classes in TF2.

sm_classwarfare_flags (default "")
Admin flags for restricted classes in TF2.

sm_classwarfare_immunity (0/1, default 0)
Enable/disable admins being immune for restricted classes in TF2.

Admin Commands
No Commands yet.

Developers
This code is based on the class restrictions mod by Tsunami: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=73104
My version is up here: https://github.com/JonathanFlynn/Class-Warfare

Plans

• Shuffle admin command and/or vote, to randomize teams again when matchups aren't fun.
• Set to 2 or 3 classes per side as well as mono class.
• Randomize classes according to an configurable interval instead.

Test Server
96.126.107.49:27015

Got it. Hit the preview bug which wipes that data.

Has anyone tried this? Any videos of this in action?

Also, the admin flag cvars you have, does this mean admins can be a different class than those who are forced to be whatever is chosen? Sorry, I know there was a Class Party mod similar to this which allowed a round to begin with each side a random class (chosen by a random "leader" on the team).....wondering how this one is different then that one.

I've been running this on my server occasionally, and everyone seems to enjoy it for the most part! I do hope you continue to work on this and add features.

I have this installed on a TF2 server.

Unfortunately, since the game has no randomisaton after the initial start of the round within it, long maps get rather boring when you play as one class the entire time.

As a result, I've changed it so that it is played on arena maps.

Unfortunately, it appears that players do not automatically get assigned to classes correctly. Everybody spawns as a medic (the default option I assume), and only a select few get changed to what the round should be.

Additionally, in arena mode, attempting to change class will automatically respawn you.

If these issues could be fixed, I would be greatly appreciative, as this has become one of the favourite gamemodes of the server.

What does this offer that Class Enforcer doesn't?

I recently started playing a bit of TF2 again and I may come back to this.

I can't recall if this is the most recent version, but if you look at the most recent version on github rather than this post it handles two classes per side and teams can vote to change their classes. It's been so long I can't recall what state I left the mod in though and I certainly haven't tested it against new servers.

Would like to know the same -- especially since Class Enforcer currently isn't working on our server, so if this is a legitimate replacement, then that'd be cool.

is this plugin still working?
