Server Defense
Version 2.1

Requirements:

• Sourcemod rev 1854+

Description:

This plugin defends against some common server problems such as spawn killing and camping. All features can be easily disabled if you don't want it on. Spawn killing is prevented by simply blocking the damage from happening, protected players will be a different color. They will be protected for a length of time and/or until they travel outside of 'x' feet from their spawn. The anti-camp module is completely customisable, you can change how long the player has to be camping to begin punishment, the severity of the punishment, and much more. The new integration into the SourceMod menu to enable or disable any features easily while in-game enhances the ease-of-use of this plugin.

Todo:

• Mostly anything you suggest!

Installation:

• Extract the contents of the zip file into your game's directory (CSS is "cstrike", DoD:s is "dods", etc)
• Install serverdefense.phrases.txt in sourcemod/translations/ (download right under .zip file link)
• Navigate to <yourgamedir>/cfg/sourcemod/serverdefense.cfg and configure the server defense options
• Download and install serverdefense_menu.smx to sourcemod/plugins/serverdefense/ for admin menu integration
• Your done!

• Alpha now works in spawn protection (it didn't before), and I believe it should work right in TF2 now

January 18th

• Removed AFK module, there are plenty of other plugins to use for that, this one was pretty half-assed too.
• Removed AFK toggle from the SM menu (so don't forget to update that)
• Tried to fix HP bug for TF2, Bahamut, do you mind trying it out for me? If it didn't work it will set your HP to 1 when spawn protection is over

February 24th

• Fixed some other player_spawn error

February 28th

• Compatible with TF2, yaay

July 26th

• Recoded, now uses m_takedamage to block damage, so whatever game supports that ent prop this plugin will work on it
• Reformatted config file, I don't think anyone is using this plugin, but if you update make sure to replace plugin.serverdefense.cfg with serverdefense.cfg

August 16th

• Updated spawn protect to use a more precise countdown, and a distance limitation so if you go outside of 'x' feet from spawn you lose your protection

You may want to do what I did with Whack-A-Pubby and if its TF2 have a default health value to restore people to. The damage amount is never sent in the player_hurt event in TF2.

This is the plugin I really need, over any other plugin, but cant get it to work.

Mod is Insurgency 217.163.31.17:27015 INS-T [2.0e] The.O.C Insurgency

1st Above you say "Contains a simple cvar to disable or enable this in-game (sp_enabled)." But In plugin.spawnprotection.cfg it is sp_disabled "0".

2nd Trying to use it to stop enemy sitting in spawn killing as you spawn, which is quite annoying in Insurgency , but nothing happens with sp_disabled 1, or sp_disabled 0.

// Default: "0" sp_scope "1" // [Spawn Protection] Slay the spawn attacker // - // Default: "0" sp_slay "0"

There are issues in Insurgency with slaying (Cant do it as no commit suicide, i believe, from using ATAC) but could you move the spawn attacker to spectator?


Hope you can help me get this working on server and the addition on move to spec would be a great bonus

I dunno if u're up for it, but could you also do anti-spawn camping? like spawn slaying after a period of time? Say it hits 10 minutes into the game, then it slays all who are in a certain grid you select. Then again at 2 minutes in. Etc. This would really enhanced the CSS world.

Is this integrated into the menu? If so I shall use it.

Then I won't support TF2, if that's how valve wants it then I won't bother trying to fix what they don't want us to use.

arm5ky, hm, does player_hurt work correctly in Insurgency? To stop the spawn killing I simply restore the player's health back to full as soon as the damage is dealt.

Tomorrow I will send you a test plugin to test the event variables and such in insurgency, that should tell me what I need to fix in this plugin.

ottobohn, Spawn camping would be surprisingly easy to implement. So when/if this plugin gets approved I will most likely add that.

Integrated into which menu?

[Neo_Bahamut_19]

the admin menu

[ferret]

Maybe you need to explain how spawn protection could even be added to the menu....

[Neo_Bahamut_19]

Basically a on/off switch, because some maps are so small that if you have that spawn protection, it makes one team overpower the other team, it could also have a way so that you could do something like Server Management>Spawn Protection>1 Second/5 Seconds/ 10 Seconds/ ect. as well as a way to do possibly a per map config as well to further help people with this, it could end up being a very useful tool for servers like mine where we play only custom maps where spawn camping can be a huge hassle...

Thats just a few thoughts ;)
