TF2 Bounty Hunt
This plugin requires SM 1.3.3 or higher.

Bounty Hunt is a mod inspired by DoctorWho.

His request sums it up quite nicely:

The mod contains all of the above and more.

Everytime the chosen player from each team is killed by the deathtype randomly selected by the plugin (ubersaw, sniper's tauntkill, telefrag, clumsy painful death, minigun, etc.), the winning team gets a crit-buff for 10 seconds ( length is configurable by cvar), and their teamscore goes up by 1.

The chosen players will have small red beacons set on them.

To plugin approvers: Yes, I know, the DeathType enum code is gross and disgusting. It works fine for now, but I'm working on it >.<

Installation
Place bounty.smx into the plugins/ directory.
Place bounty.phrases.txt into the translations/ directory.

Credits:
Me - Writing the plugin
AlliedModders - Beacon code from base Funcommands plugin
DoctorWho - Came up with the idea
psychonic - So kindly gave me the MyServerAddTag and MyServerRemoveTag stocks, reminded me to use a switch instead of 6 million ifs >.<

Voting:
Currently there is no !votereroll or anything of the sort implemented, but you can use chundo's Custom Votes to allow players to vote a reroll of the bounty if they get a difficult deathtype such as telefrag or tauntkill, or someone is turtling.

Example entry in playervotes.cfg from Custom Votes:

"votereroll"
{
    "title"        "Reroll bounty?"
    "type"        "confirm"
    "command"        "sm_reroll"
    "trigger"
    {
        "command"    "votereroll"
        "notice"    "%u wants to reroll bounty"
        "delay"    "300"
        "percent"    "75"
        "count"    "5"
    }
}

Maps:
Someone suggested to me that this mod should have custom maps. I'm not making any maps for this mod. If anyone else wants to make (a) map(s) for this mod, go right ahead, I'll post them here, but I intended this mod just for regular maps.

Todo:
Please post any suggestions/problems/errors you encounter so I can implement/fix them. The current list of features I will add is below.

  - Prevent bounty turtling
  - Add cvar for display of bounty in chat/HUD/both
  - Punish team for turtling
          -Cvar for uber/crits/both for turtling
          -Cvar for length of punishment
  - Make beacon more noticable/add sound
  - Bounty kills other bounty = Something epic?
  - Clean up the disgusting DeathType code
  - Add more to translations file/Don't hardcode phrases

Changelog:

0.1.3 - Client crash fixed
0.1.2 - Possible client crash fix
0.1.1 - Fixed environmental death check, added credits, fixed team score not being changed properly
0.1 - Initial Release

Please post any feedback that you may have! It will help me make changes necessary for game balance. My testing is only proof-of-concept. It cannot be properly balanced without due gameplay.

Did it work without the vote? Without the vote, I'm experiencing no problems. I'll try it with Custom Votes later.

When you say plugin manager, do you mean you did this: "sm plugins load bounty"?

[Drixevel]

ya basically, the plugin manager does that. It's basically a plugin that loads, reloads, and unloads plugins but basically uses the commands(i think) but it should still work that way.

I Did a map change on my server with it activated and it didn't do anything but say you made the plugin in the center of it but once i activated the plugin and we hit yes, we see our names at the bottom and then we crash.

Try without custom votes. Just do sm_reroll and see if the same thing happens.

Afro, this is fantastic! Thanks very much for the time you've put into this.

I'm going to get this up and running as soon as possible on one of our servers to assist with testing/debugging.

Again, THANKS it looks awesome!

I tried it with custom votes, and while it shouldn't make a difference, I experienced no problems.

It only took me 20 or so hours to code then test + tweak.
