The problem depends on the type of surface you're spraying the spray on, I experience it in CS:S all the time. I.e. you can't spray on a func_breakable, although I think func_detail passes fine. Nothing wrong with the plugin, just a limitation of the method used to spray the spray.

Sorry, didn't know you weren't developing it, I was just hoping i'd run across the page and there would be an updated copy because i haven't really been on the net in a while. either way the removal and all works so, thats fine

I think I found one of the problems. My Test Server defaults to de_dust after restart. We only use it for testing and special events, so we don't care too much about the rotation. Anyway, this plugin doesn't work correctly on Dust. If you spray a spray anywhere on the map, and then REMOVE IT, the plugin will simply respray it near CT spawn on the way to bombsite B. All other maps the remove function seems to actually remove it.

Also, the adminspray function doesn't work correctly on some maps. It won't spray the spray, and in some cases seems to crash the server. It is unfortunate. This was a built-in function with Beetlesmod, and was both easy to use and foolproof. With SM it seems to be ridiculously hard to just figure out who is using a bad spray.

Using the latest snapshot of SM. Sourcbans, a few custom player skins for admins, and a map rotation plugin are also added.

Corpse, sm_removespray teleports the spray to 0 0 0. However, a few maps actually have this visible in your map, so if you wish to hide it completely, edit it to "0 0 -9000" or something of the nature.

And I'll repeat, sm_adminspray works fine, you simply can't spray on all the surfaces that you can as a normal spray. I went through and tore the code apart trying to resolve this issue and tried a few other methods, but none of them work as well as the current one, so you just have to deal with it.

Thanks for the info. I DO believe you that adminspray is supposed to work, it just doesn't seem to work for me . But no worries. I can play with it some. For the moment I disabled the adminspray function and removed it from the admin menu without a problem, and the removespray and spraytrace commands work flawlessly. So no worries there.

The info about removespray teleporting the spray to 000 is very useful. I appreciate that a lot. I will take a look at that.

I didn't mean to come off as ungrateful. The work of Lebson and others here is fantastic. I just was surprised that something this critical to CSS gaming - like the ability to track the sprays of the players in the server - would be missing from SM to begin with. Beetles and Mani have both had it for years. That is not a reflection on THIS mod, or on any of the other plugin-coders here. It is simply a reflection on SM itself.

Thanks again for the assistance

I seem to be having an issue with Left 4 Dead 2. I've tweaked a few cvars from the default, but they stay as the default in the server.

And my output from the running server:

Notice that, namely, _usehud, _slapdamage, _drugtime, _burntime, and _hudtime are defaults and not as I configured them. However, _fullhudadmin is 0, how I wanted it.

Anyone else having problems with that? Suggestions?

[Lebson506th]

That's because the plugin makes it's own config that overwrites your server.cfg

It's in the cfg/SourceMod folder.

[Scooter789]

Oh snap, thank you.

Ok, when you say compile, does that mean just make the changes and save the .sp file? Do I upload the .sp file into my scripts folder?

[dirka_dirka]

no it means run it through the compiler in the scripting folder to get an smx. your server probably doesnt allow the exe files in scripting so do it locally on your puter.
