All classes get extreme-speed, infinite or increased ammo, etc. It's stupid). I just won't. NighTeam's Donator benefits (as well as Saign's) are the reason why I use this blacklist file that blacklists all Saign/NighTeam servers from the TF2 server browser.

I love you. This is exactly what my server was built around, attempting to avoid things that mess with gameplay.

The Building Color one was a great idea, it's something that'll set your buildings apart from the rest while still being easy-ish to see as an enemy building. I'll be writing a plugin which uses Dr. McKay's Custom Chat Colors for Donator tags later on which is based off this, just to help contribute to the plugins based off BDI

Also, our very own Dr. McKay made this, which may interest you: http://www.doctormckay.com/pinionblacklist/. He has a version which includes NighTeam and Saigns along with pinion servers

Gotta love Dr. McKay

Also can't wait to see what you come up with

Oh, and the server I "work" for as a "plugin developer" is getting Donator benefits set up, and the owner who is a friend of mine has given me just one requirement for his benefits: Nothing game-breaking. He also doesn't use Pinion on his servers, and I haven't checked out that blacklist yet, but I can guarantee his servers won't be on there

I'm a bit confused.
I compiled donator.smx and donator.core.smx, but how does the config work?
a bit confused with the whole level thing

[Rusty Shackleford]

I'm kind of confused, is there a way to integrate normal commands with this menu?


Example: sm_glowme, or just any sm command?

You would have to write a wrapper plugin. This plugin just interfaces to a database/file to tell who's a donator, and centralizes the menu handling.

We don't use level, but you could use it to give players different perks. The plugins I've seen just ignore it.

hello all. i am trying to install this but keep running into walls.

How to install:
go here download this, oh and this is required if you want to use that. once you go get that, it tells you to get another file also to run the 1 your downloading for this original plugin, ect..
Now on top of that, once the files are compiled with the extra .inc files. i start up the server and see it's needing a donators.txt that is missing, and a .cfg file(which just says default in the error.)
(What default ? sourcemod.cfg , should it create a .cfg ?)

I am trying to install this on a Windows machine, and i have edited the core file to allow for sql instead of the flat file. i have also created the tables in the database.
Am i missing something or have i done something wrong?
I presume the plugins are not loading due to the .cfg file it can not find.

Sure you setup the SQL bit right? Looks to me like the core isn't connecting, and that's causing the errors by the other two that use the core.

[clad]

I'm 95% sure. the database i setup for Sourcebans a few years ago is still working.

What is the .cfg file that the error is talking about ?

[serpentine]

I'm guessing it's looking for the database and calling it a config. I'll setup a sql version tonight and see if I can replicate.
