Repository info

The /src folder contains the plugin source-code. The /assets folder contains data relating to the map, plugin overlays and sounds. It is strongly recommended that you use https://www.gemidyne.com/projects/tsukuru/ to build the map and pack in the necessary assets.

The "master" branch is the latest stable version of the gamemode. We recommend you use this branch on your game servers. The "dev" branch is used for the latest development version of the gamemode. This branch contains work in progress projects so may be uncompilable, untested and not be the best experience for your players. We recommend you use the master branch over the dev branch.

SourceMod Extension / Plugin Dependencies

The gamemode utilises the following extensions and plugins to run:

SteamWorks extension - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=229556 (Used for setting the game description)
TF2Items extension - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=115100 (Used for blocking wearables)
TF2Attributes plugin - https://github.com/FlaminSarge/tf2attributes (Used for applying attributes to weapons)
TFEconData plugin - https://github.com/nosoop/SM-TFEconData (Used for giving weapons to players)
(Windows only) host_timescale_fix plugin - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=324264 (Fixes a host_timescale issue only on Windows SRCDS installs. Not required if you are running the gamemode on Linux)

If you intend to use the SDK plugin for developing your own gamemodes or minigames, you will need:

Sound Info Library extension: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=105816 https://github.com/bcserv/soundlib (Used for determining sound file length for themes and minigames)

Map Development

The map's master VMF file lives in /assets/warioware_redux_master.vmf - we use https://www.gemidyne.com/projects/tsukuru/ to build dev & release versions of the map and pack in data. You can import our map compile settings into Tsukuru by importing the warioware_redux_master.tsumc in the /assets/ folder - and then fix the file paths to be correct for your repository path.

Our workflow for dev maps / release maps is to pack all necessary data into the BSP file, and then repack the BSP file. You can do all this by using Tsukuru. Packing all sounds, textures, models into the BSP file and repacking it means players will only need to download a single file to play the gamemode.

We use Hammer++ for map development, as this version of Hammer has many fixes over the stock version of Hammer bundled with TF2.

Testing

We appreciate your interest in wanting to help test the gamemode. We have a tester group on Steam Community where we will be communicating test sessions. The group chat within this steam group is where we will communicate upcoming test sessions due to Steam's broken event functionality.

Translations

We'd love to have you on board! If you are interested in contributing translations, there are two ways you can do it:

We can add you onto our gemidyne.com Translator Tool which makes editing translations super quick and easy - click this link and choose Become a translator.
You can add your own language "microtf2.phrases.txt" file built from the english file into your own translation folder - this way is more manual but you can contribute via pull requests if you want

We currently have translators for the following languages:

microtf2's Issues

Diagnosing errors guide

We should probably have a quick wiki page or markdown file just covering some scenarios that might occur when initially installing the plugin.

Tweak speed up frequency

Sometimes speed ups can be really frequent - like one after another.

We should probably have some sort of delay or block to stop this. SpeedLevel 2.0 is pretty difficult for some players

Intermission should be configurable.

Currently, intermission in the plugin has a hardcoded call to mapchooser. This should be configurable, so server operators can have a choice:

There should be an intermission, and a map vote should be called.
Run a custom command.
Intermission shouldn't happen.

New system BGM

Need to update some of the smoothmoves BGM to the new recordings I've got

TakeDamage hooks are broken in some cases

There seems to be an issue with Sticky jump / Rocket jump where players can't take the damage to do the jump.

This also seems to affect the stay on the ground minigame

Repurpose Minigame 14

Minigame 14 is currently hard-disabled in the plugin due to no minigame area being created for it.

We need to repurpose it into something

Boxing boss allows kill/explode commands

These commands should be blocked.

Boxing boss GRU doesnt drain health anymore

Need to think of a way to resolve this.

Jetpack minigame sfx still plays after the minigame finishes and is too loud

It needs to block the sfx completely.

Doing what Simon Says results in a massive lag spike on the client

This is most likely down to a missing check to see if the player has already won.

Due to the missing check not being there, repeated network messages are sent every game frame to the client.

Get hit by medic doesnt properly work (takedamage issue)

Needs investigation.

Removal of NEW_HUD

Through more testing with the GEMINI QA team, I have decided that use of the new hud is not reliable as we were able to recreate an issue with old minigame instructions being sent instead of new ones.

Grappling hook boss

Need to think of possibly creating a boss with the grappling hook. Similar to a surf map but with grappling hook in mind?

Intermission text is mixed language

See title, should be in chat and 1 language - that of the client.

Beatblock BGM needs the beeps removed

The BGM currently has the beeps. I think we found a version without them, right?

The plugin should support up to 32 Players.

This will require a map update, but the plugin should support 32 players now.

Beatblock boss: Spacing between the blocks in the last sequence is too much

Due to this it is difficult to finish

Sawblade dodge

Requires minigame area.

Players are spawned all facing one direction - a sawblade will be coming toward them. To win, jump or crouch and evade the sawblade.

Better translation support

The plugin is a mixed bag of hardcoded english strings, and translatable strings from a phrases.txt file.

The plugin should be fully translatable, all except for the overlays which have hardcoded english text.

Trailer video

Once we're gold we need to make a quick trailer demonstrating the new enhancements in the new version of the plugin.

We should use the existing Content Pack 1 trailer as a base and build from there.

Minigame 2 doesn't work anymore

No one is taking damage. Possibly related to changes to the recent take damage hook

Beatblock boss needs to have a visual indicator, to account for lag compensation between players.

Having a visual indicator will help players know when a change is about to occur. Relying on background music being in sync isn't reliable.

Escape route Win Area needs to be created

The old win area needs to be removed and replaced with the new method that was added to beatblock with a trigger_multiple.

Beatblock boss allows non-world damage

This should be restricted to only allow damage from trigger_hurt so players cant kill each other.

Round 11 of 10 - game does not end correctly

Client_TakeDamage sometimes errors with "inflictor is invalid"

See below
L 08/04/2018 - 17:59:37: [SM] Exception reported: Callback-provided entity -1 for inflictor is invalid L 08/04/2018 - 17:59:37: [SM] Blaming: as-microtf2.smx::Client_TakeDamage

Crouch/jump minigame sometime doesn't detect the action

Will need to investigate this more.

Some spawn points on Target Practice minigame are too close together for "No touch" Special round

I think the minigame shouldn't be allowed to run in this case.

Use OnCheck and verify that the No Touch special round is not running

mtf2_maxrounds convar doesn't retain the value across map change

See title, it should as per other convars.

Jarate is not equipped on the "Jarate an enemy!" minigame

Although it appears to have given the weapon to the player, the player appears to not have any ammo for the weapon.

Reversed text special round doesn't work

Due to the recent hud changes, this doesn't take effect.

Update Falling Floor Boss code to respawn failed players to the viewing area.

The new map update has a refreshed area for the falling floor boss, so if players fail, they should respawn at the viewing area, where they can watch the remaining contestants battle.

Reversed text special round enhancements

Things we should investigate and try to do are:

Possibility of flipping viewmodels?
The score annotations and hud text should also be flipped
Try flipping inputs so left is right and right is left?

NEWHUD should be opt-in due to issues with sv_parallel_packentities

We should hijack the new DisplayHudMessage stocks and redirect these to standard SyncHudText messages if the NEWHUD parameter is defined.

"You cannot change class at this time"

During testing this became a prominent issue as one of the minigame's sole function is to depend on the class change functionality.

I had a look through DEVONLY ConVars but couldn't see any to disable this, I also couldn't find any public ConVar for turning this off too.

On the Non-stop Special Round, speed events shouldn't be announced.

See title.

ViewModels don't display correctly.

This may be due to a plugin on my testing server, but hopefully can be fixed either way.

Needs further investigation

Target Practice

All players stand behind a large door. Behind the door barrels are spawned in random positions.

Players must shoot as many barrels as possible. The door will close, and after 3 seconds, the door will reopen with barrels spawned in different places. Repeat this for 4 or 5 times.

Whoever shot most barrels wins the 5 boss points.
