So I have a question about the plugin that gives you unusual effects.
I have noticed that when you equip an effect it removes custom attributes that you may have for that weapon via tf2items or an external plugin itself.
Can this be fixed?

You should post this issue in plugin's thread so author can notice that

Thats why you check if the item has been altered by tf2items already (invalid_handle) and then iterate over the attribs and rebuild them.

The manager SPECIFICALLY aborts making changes to items that have already been altered.

Actually, it depends on 2 things:
1) On what order did tf2items extension call the forwards.
2) If the plugin that comes with extension's handle was overwritten.

Can anyone edit the unusuals plugin I can pay for it.

Are you always applying the same attribute, or is it different? If it's the same one all the time, you can edit the section of the Unusual plugin that writes to the file to also write that attribute as well as the unusual effect. It's what I have been doing on our servers, this way you can still use Unusuals and have the TF2items attribute applied.

The attributes are from Freak Fortress 2.

well there's this way at going about it:
1) Find out in what order the forward for tf2items is being called(if it's ff2 then the other plugin or vise versa).
2) If the other plugin doesn't use forward, you may be f***ed idk.
3) If the other plugin uses forward and is called b4 ff2, edit ff2 to use the non-invalid handle that is passed and add it's attributes onto it.

There is no guarantee on the order, all plugins need to be written to respect existing handles - which is prohibitively horrible so no one does it.

? so your saying no plugin respects other handles if I'm reading this right.
