What? Another one?
It is basically the same as many other unlock replacement plugins, it blocks players from using a specific weapon.
This plugin is using the UnlockBlock or the TF2Items extension if they are loaded. Otherwise it tries to do its best with SourceMod itself.

Known Issues:
If possible and if it's currently working use the UnlockBlock extension as it provides the best results. If you are using one of the other methods the following issues will occur:

• Although set hats may be blocked their attributes will still be active.
• Some weapons will have the ammo of the weapon they replaced.
• The viewmodel of some weapons may block your field of view.

Cvars:
A config will be auto-generated on first run, located in your cfg/sourcemod folder. Change any permanent settings there.

• sm_tnounlockspls_enable - enables, disables the plugin
• sm_tnounlockspls_default - set to 1 to replace weapons by default, set to 0 to keep weapons by default. This cvar inverts what you have configured ingame.
• sm_tnounlockspls_blocksets - set to 1 to remove hats that would complement a set giving attributes. (default 0).
• sm_tnounlockspls_blockstrange - set to 1 to block those annoying strange weapons. (default 0).
• sm_tnounlockspls_cfgfile - File to store configuration in
• sm_tnounlockspls_announce - (0/1) Announces the removal of weapons/attributes

Configuration:
This is done ingame. The plugin hooks itself into the admin menu, where you can enable/disable (depending on sm_tnounlockspls_default) unlocks. There is no sm_toggleunlock command anymore.
To make sure everything works as it should, follow the rule of thumb and change the map after you've made changes to the tNoUnlocksPls configuration.

Translations:
This plugin comes with translations for every language valve implemented. I will update them shortly after valve releases an update. Feel free to use them in your own project.

Installation:

• Just unpack the whole zip into the correct folders.
• This has support for Updater built in.
• If you want to compile this yourself you'll also need the colors include by exvel.
• For some of the modules the smlib by berni is needed, as well as the corresponding extension includes.

Why so many plugins?
Basically, because it's easier to maintain them and easier to add new things.

• tNoUnlocksPls.smx
  This is the core plugin. It's responsible for configuring which weapons are blocked and provides natives and forwards for other plugins to interact with it. This is the absolute minimum, but won't do anything alone - as there is no plugin actually blocking any weapons.
• tNoUnlocksPls.announce.smx
  This is only used so players get informed that their weapons have been replaced. It prints the name of the weapon in the chat.
• tNoUnlocksPls.menu.smx
  Allows to configure the core easily via adminmenu.
• tNoUnlocksPls.noext.smx
  This is a plugin that actually blocks weapons, but only if none of the other two are available. It is trying to get the best results by only using sourcemod method calls, so you won't need an extension. This only works partially and some attributes might stick to the players.
• tNoUnlocksPls.tf2items.smx
  This is a plugin that actually blocks weapons, but only if the vanillaweps one is not available. This is using TF2Items to replace weapons with their default counterparts. It generally works better than the sourcemod version, but some attributes might stick to the players as well.
• tNoUnlocksPls.vanillaweps.smx
  This would be the best choice of plugin for the actual blocking of weapons, but its extension is currently broken. Don't install the extension or your server will most likely crash.

It says "no weapons found" when i press the menu. I did copy all off the files over and installed the tf2items, both are running, no errors there.

sry, i've named one of the cfg files incorrectly in the zip :[
either rename your configs/tNoUnlockPls.cfg to tNoUnlocksPls.cfg or use the updated zip.

[snelvuur]

Well other plugins remove the weapon, but then you need to change your loadout. This way you dont have too.. (at least thats my thoughts about it)

Sorry for the basic question here.

Natasha to be replaced. This means when a Player spawns with Nat, they will see a Nat model, but it will have the MiniGun attributes?

DH and Black Box == Attributes of RL (as stated in OP)?

Backburner or DGreaser == FlameThrower?

Thanks any help in my understanding here as I'd like to be prepared in how to communicate to the player base what happens.

[snelvuur]

Yes, thats basicly it. Sandvich is gone ofcourse, since you cant really replace that with a shotgun, as stated in the beginning posts i believe.

What admin flag is required to toggle menu?

You'll need root access. Same goes for the sm_toggleunlock cmd.

They look nice. They sound nice. They just don't play nice.

Originally Posted by mega` Is there a way to make it replace all weapons including their models and sounds?

Yes, i've added a new cvar, see original post.


I've added an git repository for this plugin, access here.

[tatercrisp]

How can i change access flag to something other than root or can you add a cvar?
