I HAVE REMOVED THIS PLUGIN FOR NOW DUE TO VALVE CONSIDERING DUCK SPAWNING TO BE CHEATING WITHOUT HACKING. SORRY!

[TF2] BonusDux - Spawn all sorts of Ducks for your duck journal

With the EoTL train wreck of an update that came out a few days ago, a duck journal was added to the game. This plugin allows you to spawn a load of different kinds of ducks to fill up your duck journal faster than any hard work could ever do!

Cvars
sm_dux_enabled - Enable the ability to spawn ducks (Default: 1)
sm_dux_respawn - Do ducks respawn after being collected? (Default: 0)

Commands
sm_dux - Spawn a duck where you're looking. Usage: sm_dux [TF2 Class] [red/blue]
sm_dux_special - Spawn a Quackston Hale BONUS DUCK where you're looking.
sm_nodux - Remove all ducks from the map.

Installation
1. Drag the BonusDux.smx file into your tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins/ directory.
2. Load the plugin, change map, or restart your server.
3. That's it.

Could you add:

• A ConVar to control respawn time speed ?
• An option to spawn multiple ducks at once ? (Example: sm_dux_special 100)

And if you could remove or disable the particle effect, it would be great (:

Nothing else to be added, works perfectly (:

Yes it should be invalidate but the thread was already forgotten and in the last pages of this section it wasn't really good to bump it.

VAC banned... right..

I got unvaced server hmm well too bad for me and + I have no idea what its doing lol

Well it shouldn't, to be honest. The ducks can still be spawned, which still triggers the bonus ducks voice lines. They just don't count toward the duck journal anymore.

Hate to tell you, but that actually could've happened. The original issue with this plugin was two-fold:

1. Valve saw this as "cheating without hacking" (which is silly, they're the ones who made the ducks spawnable entities with no protection against plugin-based spawning)
2. The constant use of this plugin by myself, Jessecar and Geel (especially Jessecar and Geel) and everyone else resulted in small DDoSes of the Steam servers because of all the duck XP tracking that the servers had to do thanks to the duck spamming.

Because of those reasons, Valve could have potentially VAC banned anyone that was detected receiving tons and tons of duck XP at an incredibly fast rate.

Now that the servers no longer track duck XP, use of this plugin should be fine (as spamming them is no longer necessary for anything).

EDIT: And I'm a dumbass because I didn't notice that the download for the plugin was removed from the main post. Yeah, this should be unapproved.

It's the weird point, why valve keep, nostalgia?
Anyway duck can be forced to spawn again with "sm_cvar tf_player_drop_bonus_ducks 1"
It enable the duckstreak, duck spawning(and bonus duck too).
