The issue with having a crapton of smx files in the plugins folder can be solved by placing related plugins within a subfolder. plugins/rtd/someCustomPerk.smx, for example.

It would probably be best to have each sub-plugin handle its own Updater integration.

If you're concerned about having too many cvars, then you may want to look into supporting loading setting from a saved KeyValues file.

This still leaves the problem of incoherent perk IDs. I wouldn't mind not having them consistent honestly, but I'm concerned about others who would.

Unless I'll simply leave the current config file as it is and have each server owner fill it up on their own. I can't think of a good idea to solve this at this moment.


New version released:

v0.95:

• Added ConVar for restricting teams: sm_rtd2_team.
• More optimized ConVar handling.
• More optimized perk tags handling.
• Fixed Full Übercharge ending its effect on the Medic prematurely.
• Timebomb now ends when any other perk would end, regardless of it not having a timer (sm_removertd works too).
• Lucky Sandvich now grants a single critical attack.
• Added "weapons" key to the config file:
  • Used to restrict perks to currently held weapons' classes.
  • Seperated by a comma, spaces are removed.
  • Due to the weapon classes string being long, it checks if the strings contain themself.
  • Example: "weapons" "rocketl" will make the perk only be applicable to players holding a rocket launcher.
  • Currently limits Homing Projectiles.
• 2 new perks added:
  • No Gravity - Disables (almost) roller's gravity.
  • Team Criticals - Grants Crits to the roller and nearby teammates.

Added ConVar for restricting teams: sm_rtd2_team.

Thx for this. On quick test on FF2 seems to be working well.

New version released:

v0.96:

• More optimized config parsing.
• Fixed server crash upon editing many perks with custom sounds.
• Fixed Team Criticals ending its effect when there are two players with that perk, in some situations.
• Team Criticals's beam is smooth and better looking.
• More optimized Team Criticals's beam handling.
• Fixed sm_rtd2_duration ConVar being set to 5 seconds by default.
• Fixed Flying's incorrect behaviour when the perk ended forcefully and noclip was selected.

New version released:

v0.97:

• More descriptive and straightforward perk disabling feedback.
• Now throws an error if 2 perks have the same token.
• Support for adding custom perks via other plugins.
• Other plugins can now override core perks' functionality.

So, here it is, developers can now add their custom perks to the RTD and handle them via their plugins. Huge thanks to psychonic for references in his psyRTD on how to set this up and pheadxdll who pointed me to that plugin.

The perks had been split into two groups: core and external.

Core perks are the ones in the RTD and their IDs exist in the config file. External perks do not have constant IDs but have them set always after the core perks, they should be addressed by their token, which must unique per perk now.

I will write a full tutorial on how to add custom perks via external plugins later, for now I've set up a small plugin which does the most important work, I'll attach it to this post.

I hope that the tutorial plugin and the new .inc file will suffice for now. I'd really love seeing other plugin developers add their own perks to the plugin, such as an All-Crit plugin adding "No Crits" perk, or a Donate plugin enabling donor effects for a custom time.

My favorite release yet!

EDIT: Tutorial has been written.

• Changed the default flag for sm_reloadrtd from ROOT to CONFIG.

  • Added ConVar to whether or not the plugin should be automatically updating: sm_rtd2_autoupdate
  • Added a command for checking for updates: sm_updatertd:
    • Command will work regardless of the sm_rtd2_autoupdate ConVar.
    • The command is on a 1 hour cooldown (limited by Updater).
  • Installing Updater is optional.
• 6 new perks added:
  • Strong Recoil - It's difficult to aim your weapons whilst firing.

Could you add that convar to the dispenser for the number of dispensers allowed to be spawned, as in Phead's plugin? Would be great, and also to have the perks end when the buildings are placed, unless I'm being blind and missing an existing cvar for that.
