Sounds like you've set convar tf2items_use_tf2ii to 0.

Actually, I don't. So either the plugin's bugged or I'm doing something wrong.

Wearables (shields) being broken probably means outdated gamedata. https://gist.github.com/FlaminSarge/...cd964848446fef has the latest, I believe.

I do have to ask, is "TF2IDB_TF2II_Compat" needed?" Because mine doesnt seem to work. It throws these at me:

L 10/27/2018 - 17:23:55: [tf2attributes.smx] Could not initialize call to CEconItem::SetCustomName
L 10/27/2018 - 17:23:55: [SM] Unable to load plugin "tf2idb_tf2ii_compat.smx": Native "TF2IDB_CustomQuery" was not found

Well, so, look at it this way:
TF2Items GiveWeapon needed TF2ItemsInfo to automatically add new items.
TF2ItemsInfo was old and not maintained, so TF2IDB was written to replace it, but TF2II and TF2IDB asked for the parameters needed to give info in different ways, so GiveWeapon couldn't use TF2IDB.
TF2IDB TF2II Compat pretends that it's TF2ItemsInfo (so GiveWeapon can use it), and then translates anything GiveWeapon asks for into relevant parameters for TF2IDB, and then translates TF2IDB's result back into a TF2II result.

Right now, though, TF2IDB TF2II Compat only works with the GitHub version of TF2IDB, which isn't finalized yet. You can experiment with it if you know how to compile plugins, though.

Gotcha. Thanks for the help.

While using this plugin, I wanted to give my self the thermal thruster so I could test my weapon changes but the plugin was unable to because all the item definitions were hardcoded and the thermal thruster was not included. Could you please reconsider how the item definition indexes are loaded into the plugin... if you still maintain this plugin.

I think that we should now use Econ Data instead of TF2II/TF2IDB.

You are correct.
