I know how it's done, the issue is that in order to enable them for the stock campaigns some files have to be changed. That's not currently doable with a plug-in alone.

Sorry I don't play COOP often enough to tell you. This plugin works perfectly for me since all I play is versus.

Tried it, it doesn't even register as doing damage to them when you shoot them from the front so it won't work. =/

I have been using an earlier release up until now and it didn't have this issue.

Yeah, I had to change how the weapons were initialised to avoid crashes. Why is it that you're running sm plugins refresh on your autoexec?

Originally Posted by RenegadeXR I'm not familiar with Left 4 Dead 2's libraries and natives, but I poked through your code and saw that PrecacheHiddenWeaponModels() is called every time the plugin is loaded.

By refreshing plugins in the console, like I'm doing, it attempts to grab a precache a second time and I believe this causes an overflow.

Yep, sounds about right.

Originally Posted by RenegadeXR I don't know if either of these are possible, but two solutions that come to mind: 1) Only call the PrecacheHiddenWeaponModels() routine when a game actually starts.

I have to precache the models on plugin start otherwise Windows servers crash when the weapons are initialised.

Originally Posted by RenegadeXR 2) Add logic to determine if the caches have been loaded already, and if so, skip the call to the routine during initialization. (No idea if there is such a way.)

As a matter of fact... there's a function to do just that. I'll go ahead and add it to the next release which I'll put out shortly.

Thanks! I'm *positive* that version 3 had that error. Besides, I don't have it any more so I couldn't post it regardless. Sorry!

<nods> It's the way valve coded the sounds. Can't really do much about it unfortunately. I'm curious, does switching to your secondary and then back to your primary fix it?

If you could give me more details on when it happens and on your configuration I may have a better idea of what is causing it. Otherwise I really couldn't tell you.

Originally Posted by RenegadeXR I second the request for some earlier versions to be reposted.

Unfortunately I don't have the older versions to repost. Even if I did it would be a problem to support the different versions as I hardly have the time to support the latest version as it is. The source is available for you, if you're looking for a more limited feature set you could just comment out what you don't need.

Originally Posted by RenegadeXR I really appreciate your contribution, but I think it's getting a little too ambitious to the point where it may be better to develop multiple plugins so you can isolate errors associated with different features from one another. It's important to keep code clean and manageable every step of the way before adding on more features. Otherwise, debugging becomes a real pain

It's not feasible to add all the functionality in different plug-ins. Besides, it's not the manageability of the code that's the problem, it's the weird quirks in Hard Rain and the differences between the Linux and Windows dedicated servers that's the issue. I don't have documentation to go by so the best I can do is rely on bug reports to have an idea of what may be going wrong. I've made a lot of pregress in regards to stability for windows servers, but there seems to still be an issue I haven't caught in Hard Rain.

Thanks, there seems to still be an issue with the spawn recreation on those maps that I haven't caught. I'll look into it.

NP, even that helps. It tells me the problem is somewhere in how things are handled between versus and coop.

Gah, I can't find the German Knife download anywhere, if anyone has it would they mind uploading it to Mediafire or somewhere for me?

Thanks/

Great plugin btw!
