A plugin that recreates the gameplay of the player destruction gamemode from TF2 in TF2C.
No leaked source code was used in the making of this plugin.
pd.demo.3-30-23.mp4
The following plugins are needed to run and compile the plugin.
One more step is needed, as CustomKeyValues doesn't work out of the box.
You'll need to copy/paste the "tf" section of CustomKeyValues' gamedata file, and rename tf to tf2classic.
For clients and servers: it may be needed to mount live TF2, especially if you're going to play on live TF2's PD maps.
If you do not plan to host 4 team player destruction maps, use the base version. Otherwise, use the 4 team version, as it still supports 2 team player destruction maps.
Stripper: Source map configs are provided for the existing TF2 player destruction maps.
When compiling, do not compile the _logic file, as that file is included into the main plugin file.
Nearly all original I/O and keyvalues related to the gamemode found in TF2 are usable. However, there are catches to some aspects.
Since the player destruction logic entity doesn't exist in TF2C, the replacement is the domination logic entity.
You can put the player destruction related keyvalues on the logic entity by turning off SmartEdit and adding them manually. Only 1 keyvalue is not needed, that being res_file.
The keyvalues native to the logic entity that need to be changed are win_on_limit and kills_give_points, which need to be set to 0. The keyvalue point_limit doesn't matter, as it will be changed by the plugin if using the input EnableMaxScoreUpdating.
Along with the domination logic entity, Yyu also need to add a team_control_point_master entity. The keyvalues don't need to be changed.
The only inputs not supported are SetCountdownImage, and inputs named something like AddRedPoints and OnRedHitMaxPoints.
Instead of AddRedPoints, use the domination logic entity equivalent ScoreRedPoints with a parameter of 1. Inputs like OnRedHitMaxPoints need to be replaced with OnPointLimitRed.
The gamemode-related outputs need an extra step when being setup. Each one must be numbered at the end, starting from 1. This is due to how I setup reading the custom outputs.
For example:
OnCapTeam1_PD1OnCapTeam2_PD1OnCapTeam2_PD2
All other parts of the output can be setup as normal.
All I/O that have red and blue team variations now also have 4 team versions. Just replace Red with Green or Yellow, Team1 with Team3, and so on. They must still be numbered as outlined in Outputs.
To make a player destruction map 4 team, do it the same way you would with any other 4 team map.
There are 2 versions of the plugin so that if someone wanted to port the gamemode to another source game, they can start with the base version, as it does not have the 4 team related code.
