Nice plugin but I think this kind of hard code is unnecessary.

(WontFix) Dedicated servers only, I don't support listen servers.

It runs fine on a local server. If you don't want to support listen servers, you can just put a note on the topic.

I usually do some changes locally to validate before publishing into a dedicated server.

Thanks, just uploaded.

The way it's written certain parts of the code expect the server to be index 0, so it will fail somewhere. I've read many times that SourceMod doesn't fully support listen servers and neither will I. For local testing I would suggest a local dedicated server installation. There are many plugins which also expect the server to be index 0 and loop through clients from index 1 to MaxClients.

Quick question, is there a way to use the drawing option and have it save it? The sm_neon_save feature works, but it wont let me draw easily using that. How can I use the draw function and then save it to the map?

Painting and saving to map, yeah. The code is commented out but there, search "For Testing: Uncomment to save painting data to map config" and put // at the start of the line. You'll have to recompile the plugin.

One more question! How hard would it be to make it so when using neon_bullets, the beam is dependent on the team? So red beams for T's, blue for CTs

Replace the "NeonBeams_TempMap" line with:

PHP Code:

        // Team Color bullets
        int color = 0xFF; // red
        if( GetClientTeam(client) == 3 )
            color = 0xFF0000; // blue
        NeonBeams_TempMap(color, vEye, vPos, 1.0);
        // NeonBeams_TempMap(g_Colors[client], vEye, vPos, 1.0); 


Thanks, I also realised spawning time limited beams was causing the max limit to be reached so heres a fix:

1.2 (27-Aug-2019) - Fixed "Spawning Blocked" error when beams are time limited and not permanent. They are simply not counted.

Remove presets since I no longer using it

Edit: It is possible to create animated signs by using temporary beams, however I would recommend someone creates a 3rd party plugin using the Neon Beams include for this, as it's not something I wish to add into the main plugin. It would not be possible with particles because once they're created they cannot be removed, due to the way this plugin works. It would be highly inefficient to keep all particle entities alive on the map, eating into the 2048 max entities limit. I actually don't think it's even possible to turn off the beams once created which is why the plugin simply deletes the entities.

it would be nice to select ur colour and start to draw by holding E then release no more draw!! and ofc thank you for this wonderful plugin u rokz bro
