Mann vs Tank!

Description
In this mode, the payload cart is replaced by the mvm's tank. Red team must destroy the tank before it deploys the bomb in the last point; Blue team's objective is to escort the tank.


At this time, this works in every pl_ map (but thunder mountain): pl_badwater, pl_upward , pl_hoodoo_final, pl_goldrush, pl_frontier_final and pl_barnblitz. Everything is hardcoded (in a config file) to "look nice" on bomb deploy for every map (I don't like when the tank just jump in the pit).
This plugin removes the payload cart (except for the 'logic' entity that controls the HUD), places a tank, and in some maps, the plugins add the hatch, and the robo-logo from mvm, everything on round start.


Features

• Replace the payload with the tank
• Tank is invincible in setup time (and 15 seconds after that)
• Tank's life is equal to the number of players in the server per a map/round-specific number, located in the config file. For 1-stage maps use "life", for 3-stage maps use "life", "life2" and "life3".

CVars
sm_mvt_enabled 1 // Enable/disable this plugin (Def. 1)

Commands
sm_log_ent //This command will log every entity in the map with name and classname to a file, this is for research only.

Changelog

2014-03-02 (v1.1.5) *Added pl_goldrush & pl_hoodoo support *Added config file "mannvstank.cfg" *Added gamedata file "mannvstank.txt" *All the map-specific code now is in a config file (no hardcoded). 2014-02-26 (v1.1.0) *Inital pl_frontier_final support *Added 'class is dead' voicelines system *Added Hatch prop in badwater *Release Healthbar (from powerlod) tank-based 2014-02-22 (v1.0.0) * Initial release.

Installation instructions
Just place the zip content in your sourcemod folder.
This zip includes the healthbar plugin. (This plugin is from powerlord, I will add a builtin healthbar in my plugin that only shows up when the tank start moving)

Dependencies
This plugin requires SMLIB (and sdkhooks) in order to compile (it won't compile on the forums).

Plans

• Add compatibility with every pl_ valve map
• Implement the health bar and 'Blue are Bots' functions
• Add CVars to control the tank's life and speed
• Make translation files
• Add giant robots, sentrybuster and the bomb from mvm.
• Put the hardcoded entities names in a config file (so it's easy to add more maps)
• (In a distant future) Make a Tank Race (for plr_) where both teams have tanks and gain velocity by hitting the other team's tank.

Keep in mind
This is my first plugin, I'm releasing it to get some feedback.
My primary language is Spanish, I comment everything in English in order to get better feedback from you, so sorry about my grammatical errors.
I use the BeTheRobot plugin to keep blue in bot form and red in human form. I will add my code in the plugin later.
I already have a working HealthBar, I use the HHH healtbar plugin (from powerlord) edited to keep track of the tank. Again, I will add that in my plugin later.
I use some plugins as references, i will give appropriate credit in other moment when i have time.
And a last thing: I know it sucks compared to the original version, but this one is public

How does it work? When the tank pass over a path_track, the plugin moves the cart to that path_track. So it 'jumps' on every path_track.

I have problems with the attachments system so here is a mediafire link
NOT ANYMORE!! Thanks for unban Argentinian IPs!

Sounds great.
I'il try it out tommorow

Thought about problems with tank's path following you could try calling a function:

PHP Code:

CTFTankBoss::SetStartingPathTrackNode(char *) 


It sets up first path_track which tank would follow

Whooo that's awesome, I can use it in 3-rounds based map. Thanks!

Hey there, this is linux_lover, the creator of Stop that Tank!

We've been asked by many people what our plans are for the mod- whether it will be public or private. The plan has been to get the mod to the point where it is completed, balanced, and relatively bug-free and release it to the public. Very similar to the route Darkimmortal took with PropHunt and that became a very popular TF2 mod. We would like to see the same thing for STT!

The game mode has drastically changed since we debuted the mod on reddit back in September. We've added giants a few months ago and have been working hard on gathering community feedback and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. We've had several major updates and fixed server crashes. We're still working on one particular client crash. Most of the balancing is finished and then we would like to add a few more giants into the mix. The bugs are getting fewer and fewer so we are moving closer to a release.

Those are our plans- get the mod complete and let you guys start hosting servers. Thanks Guzzi for your interest in the mod. I wanted to make this reply before you invest more time into your mod.

I don't want to bother you with my plugin. Do you have any problem if i keep updating and working on this? I'm learning so much, and i have new ideas that will differ from your plugin (my round will ALWAYS end if the red team stop the tank, the sentrybuster/giant robots will be sent between the round, and maybe without even carrying a bomb).

I know your plugin will be greater and wont have any harcoding (like mine), but i still want to work on this, i love doing this, even if i have so many problems to access the forums and the API, I can't eve use the attachment system properly (because the problem with the blocked Argentinian IPs).

Sorry for the trouble but, diversity is better, right?

[pheadxdll]

No trouble at all, I don't want to come in and stomp on your hard work.

If your mod is going to be different than ours, could you use a different name? We don't want to confuse the public when they visit both of our mods. Thanks!

[ClassicGuzzi]

Sure, I will think in another name and will change it as soon as I can, thanks!

Sorry but, how do i use this function exactly? It's not an Entity Imput right?
When I work with entities I use imputs/outputs/keyvalues.
Where did you get that function exactly?
I use this to read entity's sources but I couldn't find any source for the tank.

I use this to read entity's sources but I couldn't find any source for the tank. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/sou...rc/game/server

Here's example how to use this function:

PHP Code:

#include <sdkhooks>
#include <sdktools>
 
new Handle:hGameConf;
new Handle:hSetTrack;

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "[TF2] Set Trank~~",
    author = "Misaka Mikoto",
    description = "Worth The Weight, Worth The Weight, Worth The Weight, Worth The Weight, Worth The Weight, GABEN Gaben GABEN G.A.B.E.N GA GA GA BE BE EN EN AT VALVE SOFTWARE D.O.T GABEN GABEN C.O.M",
    version = "ur mom",
    url = "none"
};
 
public OnPluginStart()
{

    hGameConf = LoadGameConfigFile("stopthatgaben");
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Entity);
    PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hGameConf, SDKConf_Signature, "CTFTankBoss::SetStartingPathTrackNode");
    PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_String, SDKPass_Pointer);
    hSetTrack = EndPrepSDKCall();
}

public OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[])
{
    if(StrEqual(classname, "tank_boss"))
    {
        SDKCall(hSetTrack, entity, "path_gaben__4chan_was_here") // Sets up spawned tank_boss to follow path_track named path_gaben__4chan_was_here"
    }
} 


Gamedata:

PHP Code:

"Games"
{
    /* Team Fortress 2 */
    "tf"
    {
        "Signatures"
        {
            "CTFTankBoss::SetStartingPathTrackNode"
            {
                "library"            "server"
                "windows"            "\x55\x8B\xEC\x8B\x45\x08\x56\x6A\x00\x68\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x68\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x6A\x00\x6A\x00"
                "linux"                "@_ZN11CTFTankBoss24SetStartingPathTrackNodeEPc"
            }                
        }
    }
} 


Followed plugin was untested so it might not work,

[ClassicGuzzi]

It works like a charm! I can create in every track I want! Thanks!
Now with this, I can start working in 3-round-based maps and plr_ ones!
