my rockets won't make the beeping sound and i have this in my config

// -------------------------------------------------------
// Events
// -------------------------------------------------------
// 
// In order to further customize the rocket types, you can
// set a command to be executed when a certain event happens
// with a dodgeball rocket.
//
// The events that are right now implemented are the following:
//
// on spawn- When a rocket spawns.
// on deflect- A client has deflected a rocket.
// on kill- One of the rockets has killed the client.
// on explode- Same as on kill, only triggered once.
//
// The possible parameters passed for the commands are the following.
//
// @name         - Name of the projectile type
// @rocket       - Rocket entity index
// @owner        - Owner client userid
// @target       - Target client userid
// @dead         - Last dead client
// @speed        - Speed of the rocket
// @deflections  - Number of rocket deflections
// 
// -------------------------------------------------------
// Commands
// -------------------------------------------------------
//
// For using with the events system, the plugin has two useful
// commands if you want to make kickass explosion blasts.
//
// tf_dodgeball_explosion <client>
// Shows a huge explosion at the location of the specified client.
//
// tf_dodgeball_shockwave <client> <damage> <force> <radius> <falloff>
// Wich applies a huge shockwave at the location of the client.
//
// If you are able to write plugins, you can include your custom
// commands too!

So I had an idea and was curious how easily it could beimplemented or if it was even practical to try.

Everyone knows of the plugins like Funcommands,FuncommandsX, and RTD. Everyone also knows the whacky effects that these bringto the table such as Freeze, Drug, Gravity, etc. I was curious if someone knewhow to properly introduce those commands into the dodgeball plugin. It would berather interesting to have a handful of “Fun Maps” where rockets freeze theirtargets (or targets in a radius) in place versus blowing them up, causing themto be more vulnerable to the true deadly rockets that could spawn. Perhaps arocket that changes the gravity for its victim, causing it to be lowered andthus a greater kick back if caught in the air near an explosion OR giving theman advantage or interesting angles to deflect rockets.

I know the plugin already has the ability to use somecommands and it even states in the config file that new commands can be writtenand incorporated into the plugin…but I also know some of these commands requiremore input versus just <command> <client> like gravity (what is therequested/desired gravity) or freeze (duration) and the like. I’m just not 100%sure how to do it properly. Would I have to copy all the includes from theother plugins into one for the dodgeball plugin? Can I just call the commandsfrom the config like I would if I was typing it into chat in game? Any ideas oranyone with some experience with this already?

Anyone willing to give it a shot and perhaps addsome interesting gameplay to this plugin for use on some goofy maps? Thanks ahead of time for all help/comments....

It's so fun to play with other clases, but some of them have problems (like the spy for some reason). Also I highly recomend to use the rocket-bounce plugin so the rocket doesn't explode when you deflect it into a wall or something.

Can this work? I'm not sure about that stupid attachment policy of valve.
Btw. is it normal that custom models don't work either? Like custom intelligence skin?
I know, it's a bit off-topic but i just wonder. There are servers that have found a workaround and Valve gives no about it.

Also this plugin(-thread) is a mess. How to stop this annoying soundbug caused by custom flamethrowers?

[Mitchell]

Can't seem to download this plugin.

[KiRRA]

Here are the files that we use on our server. Please note that I have (I hope) structured them correctly so you should just be able to copy/paste the entire contents of the attached zip file into the TF folder on your server.

I hope you can find these files useful. Please also note that the config file attached is the one we use currently and has been modified slightly (another rocket class was added for testing) from its original version. I have edited the attachment and removed the additional rocket class from the config file as to not confuse users new to this plugin.

How to stop this annoying soundbug caused by custom flamethrowers?

So far the only "solution" seems to be to either block all non-stock flamethrowers (server side fix) or to disable those sounds/lower the volume of that particular sound (client side ONLY fix). This seems to be a Valve issue as it happens on non-dodgeball servers too in my experience. More details on this can be found a page or two page back in this thread.

Unfortunately those are the only solutions I have seen come up so far, but I haven't exactly been hunting for a solution either.

These "solutions" are more like workarounds. But thanks for the reply!
I've never heard a flamethrower-sound bug on Valve servers.
The soundbug can last for minutes sometimes on dodgeball.
I'll try the other dodgeball plugin. The creator of this one hasn't been online for years...

[asherkin]

It was confirmed to be a TF2 bug a long time ago, whether you've heard it or not.

[Dr. Greg House]

Define "confirmed". Valve actually responded to bug reports?
From what I know I noticed the bug introduced with a patch in early February and have then been ignored by Valve via email. Attempts to make notice of it via SPUF failed on my side, too.
Have there been any developments I don't know of?
