Sorry if this has been asked or explained previously but why doesn't this work with survival mode?

[McFlurry]

PHP Code:

l4d2_points_modes "coop,realism,versus,teamversus" 


Add survival to this comma separated list, this is supposed to go in your l4d2_points_system.cfg file.

Seeing as I found players occasionally exploiting fireworks and molotovs to gain up to 300 buy points in under 20 seconds, I wrote a simple plugin which automatically kicks them to avoid such havoc. I run v1.6.3 of the buy system and am unaware if this counter-measure is needed in the later version of the buy system but I decided to provide it either way in-case anyone is having similar issues.

how come the katana doesn't show up in the buy menu?

[evilmaniac]

Some maps do not have the katana. The !buy menu should not display the katana unless it is available on the map. The other possible explanation to not having a katana in your buy menu, is that you have set its price to "-1"

I have a highly modified version of this buy plugin on my server and this is a snippet of what I used to change it. It's simple and works.

PHP Code:

public Action:Event_Hurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
     new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))
     new attacker = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "attacker"));
     new dmg_type = GetEventInt(event, "type");
     if(attacker > 0 && client > 0)  //I changed this line to this since mine has a IsValidClient bool here since the plugin for this topic doesn't have it
     {
          if(GetClientTeam(attacker) == 3)
          {
               if(dmg_type == 8 || dmg_type == 2056) return; //Block the infected player from earning points while killing stuff with fire

               if (dmg_type == 263168 || dmg_type == 265216) //This is for spitter damage since the same thing can be done with it as well.
               {
                    //code here
               }
          }
     }
} 


This will also compensate for if a player spits on a bunch of incapped survivors, spawns in as a different infected, then will rack up tons of points. In the change above, an infected other than a Spitter will still earn "Spit Points", and Spitters can get the "Multiple Damage" from just scratching...but I also separated Multiple Damage and Spit Damage, so they both don't count as one.

Using v1.6.8 Beta R3 in coop mode, the points were not reseted when the player is disconnect.

I'll look into that, and expect an update soon, I'm looking to implement some of Jackie's fixes as well.

I'm using ur plugin after a very long time and I find it even better than the past, but where are the "!buy kit", "!buy defib" and other cool shortcuts? I remember they were in the ps_bess version, but it gives an error while compiling. So the question is: will the shortcuts ever return? I mean, this was the best feature of this plugin
Thx man.

[outlaw322]

Compiling plugins is new to me and I was hoping to get some quick help because I've seen this plugin in-game and want it on my server.

So as I understand it, the 2 ".sp" files need to be compiled into plugins ".smx"

I was able to compile l42_points_system" with the sourcemod compiler.

The second file, "ps-usepoints.sp" had an error:

Your plugin failed to compile! Read the errors below: SourcePawn Compiler 1.4.0 Copyright (c) 1997-2006, ITB CompuPhase, (C)2004-2008 AlliedModders, LLC /home/groups/sourcemod/upload_tmp/phpXZ9rky.sp(4) : fatal error 120: cannot read from file: "ps_natives" Compilation aborted. 1 Error. 306135 successful compiles to date. 218416 failed compiles to date.

I realize you all are working on more important issues with the plugin, but if you could take a second to answer a noobz question it wouldn't go unappreciated.

many thanks!
