[TF2] Fire huntsman in the air

pheadxdll · **Author**

This extension is now a plugin. Go get it here.

I felt that the huntsman was under-powered and needed a boost so I wrote this extension to allow snipers to shoot the bow-and-arrow while airborne.

I always felt it was awkward to prime the bow in mid-air and not be able to release until you touch the ground. Snipers can't defend themself if they get airblasted by a pyro or get tossed by a rocket. Things like noclip and low grav make this useful to have anyway.

Usage:
Plugin is autonomous, it's always on until you unload it.

Convars:
huntsman_version - Displays the current version

Change log:

Code:

0.1.1 - Public release!
0.1.2 - Fixed linux version!
0.1.2 - Fixed for the linux binary for the 4/14 update!

Notes:
This patches memory so it's efficient and there's no problems with client prediction. It's been tested on windows and linux. You still can't shoot arrows while in water. That is restricted by a check on the client, so don't ask me to do that.

I had fun making this, let me know if you use it.

I would suggest checking the bytes you are about to patch over in case they are changed after an update. Splicing code will be an insta-crash.

Since the bytes I patch are not wild carded in the signature, I don't think that'll be a problem.

That's true!

Hey guys, try the new version and let me know if it fixes it, I haven't gotten a chance to test it.

it works but there is no shooting sounds.

btw, nice work!

Yup, your client plays that sound, it doesn't expect you to shoot in the air, so it doesn't play. You got the linux version to work?
