Adding New Plugins

Unread post by captainAngry »

I am going to be adding a bunch of new plugins this weekend to help with some things on the server that users have either requested or to correct bugs with plugins we already have. I spent the majority of the morning going over all of the available TF2 Source Mod plugins and have selected the ones I feel would benefit our server the most.

Scramble Vote: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=657631
This will allow anybody to start a vote to scramble the teams. It will also fix the scramble so it doesn't reset the map time like it does now.

Pregame FF/Instant Spawn: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=682890
Will enable Friendly Fire and Instant Spawn during the waiting for players time on a server. Just a little fun thing.

Add Camera Point: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=724109
Apparently when building custom maps if you don't add camera points when everyone on one team dies and there is no one to spec it crashes the server. I'm pretty sure this is one of the reasons our server crashes from time. This plugin adds a camera point when there is none to prevent this from happening.

Melee Mode: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=635538
Melee only mode. People have been asking for this for a while and here it is.

Zombie Fortress: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=688433
Zombie Fortress is a mod that uses special ZF maps. There are only a handful but it would allow us to play these maps.

Fun Commands: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=665771
Most of these commands are stupid and I thought hard about this one. There is one thing in here that we need and that is the ability to change a users color to normal. As part of roll the dice, sometimes people get stuck in a weird color causing confusion and this plugin would allow admins to fix it.

Class Limit: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=642353
This will allow me to make class limits on specific maps. For instance, I would be able to disable snipers on billiards which has been a consistent request.

I think the most useful would be the added camera point. The server would've crashed so many times without it.

Yeah. The server seems more stable now but who knows what causes it to crash when it does.
