SourceMod plugin replacement for TFTrue [infdev]

TF2rue

SourceMod plugin replacement for AnAkkk's TFTrue.

Also replaces F2's logstf/supstats/medicstats plugin. It doesn't do that yet.

This plugin is not yet finished and should not be used in a production environment unless you are crazy. It's mostly fine

Why

TFTrue is ancient, uses a ton of boilerplate code, has sporadic crashes, contains closed source code (in violation of its supposed GPL-2 liscensing) and is poorly maintained.

The aim of this project is to optimize as much as possible, while relying on dependencies maintained either directly by the SourceMod team themselves, or by well known, still active developers.

TLDR, I am tired of TFTrue etc crashing, breaking, and wasting cpu and making useless network requests.

Dependencies

• SourceScramble by nosoop - for memory patching
• SteamWorks by KyleS - for SteamWorks functions (web requests etc)
• DHooks2 by PeaceMaker and the SourceMod team - for detouring and hooking functions

Don't worry, all of this is included in the release zip file. Just drag and drop to your server. Plus, this plugin keeps itself up to date with GoDTony's popular Updater plugin, if you have it installed.

Features

• [done] NEW! Significantly faster whitelist reloading when changing any whitelist cvars (fixes "gg lag")
• [done] NEW! Only download whitelist from whitelist.tf if local copy isn't present or if the item schema has updated
• [todo] bhop
• [indev] fov
• [todo] stv stuff
• [todo] logs
• [todo] demostf support
• [todo] rgl configs
• [todo] redirect output with log on to not spam console
• [indev] everything else

Removed features

• tftrue_no_hats
• tftrue_no_misc
• tftrue_no_action

These cvars were removed because they are infrequently used and have a therefore unjustifiable amount of code and cpu time attatched to them. TFTrue was iterating thru keyvalues every single time a whitelist cvar was changed, for essentially no reason.

tf2rue's Issues

tf2 update 04/18 gamedata

Fix windows broken functionality

#11

Important breaking change: CTFPlayer::GiveDefaultItems has been inlined on Windows (caller xref is now CTFPlayer::InitClass). A hotfix was applied to make that SDKCall optional so the plugin would continue functioning without being able to regenerate players on whitelist reload. It will raise a warning on startup.

Feel free to workshop other solutions here.

crash on undef player

wltf schema mismatches

if a preset is updated and the item schema isn't, new whitelist wont download

waiting on weit for a /mtime api for presets

check if file exists even if whitelist cvar doesnt change
