Displays a VTF decal at chosen places around the map in-game.
Used to advertise clan homepages etc.

This was a feature in Mani's and there is also a Metamod source version (not for OrangeBox install though ) but there is a flaw with both.

Currently with the Mani and Metamod system you need to find the coordinates and then manually add them to your config file.
This is a lengthy process for a few maps let alone all the maps on your server.

It would be really useful if there was an admin command to place the decal and this would also write it to your config file.
sm_placedecal or similar
sm_removedecal would also be useful if you wanted to remove the decal.

Anyone willing or able to make this useful plugin?

Has valve fixed the pure bug where when caching custom textures (like map logos) it will not allow you to join another server after you disconnect?

If so, I will give it a go ;]

I wasn't aware such a bug existed.

Using the MetaMOD source plugin on our CS:S server I'd never seen any issues or had any issues reported to me.

If anyone were willing to take this project on I'd be willing to offer my skills in creating VTF/VMT decals to be used as the defaults (maybe one to advertise SourceMOD?) and for any server admins that are unable to create their own to use with this plugin.

there's this: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...ighlight=decal but the download links for binary and source are both broken

I winder if someone who has the plugin/source could provide it, I could host it on my server

This doesn't work on the Orange Box platform and doesn't include the advanced features I mentioned.

It's a good plugin (used it on my CS:S server for ages)

But it's not as good as it could be if it were a SM plugin and had the added features I suggested.

do you have the binary or source by any chance? If you publish the source here there's a chance someone will port it.
