Server

I tend to go towards Freefrag servers. They have an awesome group and tend to be very balanced. Meter1060 05:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah no I sometimes see mods on tf2 wiki then proceed to try em out. And well since spy is one of my favourite classes I noticed and asked. Meter1060 05:48, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

In regards to your Give Weapon plugin

Hello! You obviously know me from AlliedMods (I'm thatdarnkid). I installed your Give Weapon plugin back onto my server on back when you had released the first version of it that could use Visible Weapons. I went ahead and installed Give Weapon, Visible Weapons, SDKHooks and Attachables.

Started my server up, waited a minute, refreshed the server browser....my server didn't appear. 15 minutes later....still wasn't appearing on the server browser. Checked my server's error logs and noticed something about a fatal error, and something about SDKHooks or Attachables not being able to start up. Now, I have since lost the error logs from that day (I'll explain why in a bit), but I did find this excerpt from the error log that I Googled, in an attempt to see if anyone on AlliedMods was having that issue:

• [SM] Unable to load plugin "visibleweapons.smx": Required extension "Attachables" file("attachables.ext.2.ep2v") not running - I read every page of the Visible Weapons thread and the Attachables thread and tried every solution that was posted and nothing worked.

Now here's why I lost the original error log. I spoke to my server host about the problems I was having with the server not showing up, and he told me from what he could see, the problem was with "one of those four plugins you installed" (SDKHooks, Vis. Weapons, Give Weapon and Attachables). So I removed the plugins from the server, deleted all the files completely, restarted my server....and it didn't appear. Checked the error logs again and I remember the error had to do with not being able to find the Give Weapon plugin.

I searched high and low and didn't find any remaining traces of the four plugins. Eventually I asked my server host to wipe my server and re-set it up. One of those four plugins broke my server. I'm not saying the plugins are "crap" or anything. I'm sure they work good and are awesome on the server(s) that they do work on, but for me....they broke my server.

I was just reading...I think the Visible Weapons thread yesterday and noticed that you too had a crash, relating to SDKHooks (I think? I forget what you said it was). That got me thinking; Maybe all my issues were caused by the same thing that caused your server to crash? I would have posted this in the appropriate thread on the forums, but as you know I'm banned (until Jan. 16th). To summarize this huge wall of words up: "Will the latest versions of Give Weapon/Visible Weapons/SDK Hooks/Attachables break the hell out of my server again? I want to try to install them again, but because of what happened the first time, I'm abit wary." 404 User Not Found 23:48, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, tried that solution. Didn't work bro. As I said, and as you obviously didn't read, I read every page of the Attachables thread, every page of the Visible Weapons thread and every page of the Give Weapon thread and tried EVERY SOLUTION POSTED, including the "fix" you left on my talk page, and nothing worked. Thanks for trying to "help" (if that's what you want to call it when you don't read everything said above and just post the first thing that pops into your head), but yeah. That "fix" didn't work. 404 User Not Found 03:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Here's a bug for you to fix.

1. Equip any weapon that has a -## max HP on wearer attribute, such as the Headtaker, on a class that cannot normally use it (for example a Pyro).
2. Stand in front of a resupply cabinet

The resupply cabinet will constantly add more HP to you over and over for as long as you stand there. One of my admins discovered this glitch and switched everyone over to RED, and kept himself on BLU, and started a "boss battle". He had around 500,000 HP via this glitch. 404 User Not Found 09:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, Randomizer = Screwed up.

Just found a nice big error log in my server, that's gotten up to 15MB in size, in one day. Guess what it's full of?

:L 02/07/2011 - 22:48:48: [SM] Native "KillTimer" reported: Invalid timer handle 560201ef (error 1)

Repeated, over....and over....and over. It was lagging everyone, so I've had to remove it. You think you could maybe do us server owners a huge favour and take all the "fixes" from the Randomizer, and put them into their own plugin that doesn't need the randomizer? 404 User Not Found 04:53, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

RE: Stuff & things

Yes, I was TGFireball. That's all. Once I got banned again as TGFireball, I pretty much gave up on AlliedMods. The forums suck. The reason I got banned (on my original account) was "I think 640 chances is enough". Like, what the hell? That makes no sense whatsoever. I take it the admins are banning any new members they suspect to be me? Don't you find that just a tiny bit pathetic?

An admin from my server made an account on the forum as well. He thought if he made an account on his computer, the admins on AlliedMods wouldn't know it was me. Stupidly enough, when I made "TGFireball", he made "TGFireballs". >.>

I did see peroxwhygens post in the Give Weapon thread about the sm_gimme command he made, so I snapped up the code and added it to the plugin and changed the command to sm_weapon, and changed the flag to ADMFLAG_CUSTOM1.

I understand you've got a very busy schedule. I'm not rushing you or anything. Take your time. Your plugins are awesome, and I think you need a vacation :P. Finally, yes, I did call you a dickhead. But that was awhile ago. I was angry because of being banned from the forums, and the idiotic reason that popped up on my screen when I logged into the forums (before I knew I was banned) 404 User Not Found 02:52, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I figured I should ask you about this. Don't worry about replying ASAP or anything, I know you're very busy. I noticed in the coding of Give Weapon that there is something along the lines of "AddFileToDownloadTable" or something. Currently I'm using SM Downloader to make sure all my custom weapon models get downloaded by anyone who connects. However, it's causing the server to prompt everyone to "download" everything everytime they join. How would I go about utilizing this AddFileToDownloadTable code to add the model/material files to the download table using the GW plugin, instead of SM Downloader? 404 User Not Found 14:04, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Nope. As I said, I'm done with AlliedMods now. And I'll be laughing my ass off at how pathetic the admins will look if the guy posting in the Randomizer thread gets banned. Because it ain't me. I was thatdarnkid and TGFireball. That's all. I've said it before on AM and I'll say it again. The forums are lazy. Telling someone who is completely new to coding (i.e. me) to "read this page of the AM wiki and figure it out" (which was done a few times when I needed help) is just idiotic. The few times I was redirected to the Wiki, it was useless.

Nowhere on the Wiki does it tell you how to use hooks in coding a SM plugin. Nowhere on the Wiki does it list all potential chat-related things (PrintToChat, ReplyToCommand, etc). Simply put, the Wiki is useless and so are the forums. I was sick of the elitist attitude that was on display by some of the members there who have made dozens of plugins and never bothered to properly go in-depth when they actually did "attempt" to help new people. So do I care that I was banned? Nope. Good riddance. I was about to quit the forums anyway. 404 User Not Found 01:21, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

When I insult the entire community, I'm obviously not including you as you were very helpful. There is one thing I want to do with SourceMod though, and that's somehow make a plugin that changes the texture everyone sees for the BLU Fists of Steel (which are silver) to this reskin I made & uploaded to GameBanana. Possible? 404 User Not Found 03:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Aaaand you were right. They changed the skin of the RED team's Fist of Steel yesterday to a more bronzey, faded red color. Luckily I had extracted the VMTs and VTFs for every weapon from "team fortress 2 materials.gcf" last week, and was able to upload the original (old) RED Fists of Steel to GameBanana. Here's the original dark red Fists of Steel that Valve changed, and to go with it, a custom blue skin I made. 404 User Not Found 21:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Constant "downloading" of w_sickle_sniper.mdl

Yeah I figured out what's going on with the server making everyone always "redownload" the Khopesh Climber model everytime they join. It's the Give Weapon plugin. When I did my re-edit of the latest version, removing the Valve Weapons and "customs", I left the Climber in. Why? Because when I made the Khopesh in the custom TXT file and gave it ID 2171, the plugin wasn't giving the custom TXT Khopesh the climbing ability.

So now, because it's the only weapon in the plugins coding with the "model" line, the section of code labelled PrepareAllModels() is causing the plugin to make everyone always redownload the model.

So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. What do I do to get rid of the plugins whole "add file to download table, and precache" thing? Do I remove the entire PrepareAllModels() section of code?

I use the SM Downloader plugin, which already adds all the custom models I have on my server to the download table and precaches them....so....the PrepareAllModels() coding seems kind of useless, especially since SM Downloader is already set up to add the entire advancedweaponiser folder to the download table. 404 User Not Found 05:13, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
