LR Plugin Discussion
LR plugins are used on a lot of other servers and I honestly have never seen a reason why not to add it. We discussed an LR plugin a few months ago during the server changes but we never really followed through.. hence this thread was made! I understand the server wants to be vanilla in a sense, but the reasoning behind that has been simplicity for new players rather than just for the sake of being "vanilla". It feels like the reason why people are against this is really petty and the fun we could have with it added outweighs us needlessly trying to keep the server vanilla. We should start taking changes for their merit & not smack them down just because we want to stay in our bubble.
Pros :
Shorter rounds.
Server structure.
More fun & versatile games.
Cons :
Forces CT to play.
Can't really rebel or screw over CTs with LR as easily.
Only plugin requires lots of configuring & disabling.
Won't have every LR people could think of, but in that case they don't have to really use the command.
Let me get more specific though so we don't have a thread about whether we want this or not only and we can actually discuss the logistics & merits of it being added.
I believe that we could use Hosties, it's a longtime good plugin and with a few good changes to the cvar which is pretty much laid out perfectly we could change this to only have the components we would use.
This plugin provides us with tons of Last Requests including but not limited to.
Drunken Boxing
Most Jumps
Farthest Jump
Brink of Death
Race
Russian Roulette
Rebel
Low-Grav Knife Fight
Hi-Speed Knife Fight
Third Person Knife Fight
Drugged Knife Fight
Vintage (Normal) Knife Fight
Rock Paper Scissors
NoScope with any scoped weapon (4 choices)
Dodgeball
Hot Potato
Chicken Fight
Shot4Shot with any pistol (6 choices for CS:S, 7 for CS:GO)
Mag4Mag with any pistol (6 choices for CS:S, 7 for CS:GO)
Gun Toss
These aren't even all of them, there is 33 and the best part is there is other third party custom last requests we could install if we wanted to.
This plugin contains other components such as
Freekill Detection & Prevention
Game Description Override
Mute System with BaseComm Integration
No Block
Rules Command
Starting Weapons Payloads for CT & T
Round End Team Overlays
All of these components can be disabled- even the last requests we might not want can be removed.
I'm sure we could do an LR plugin a bunch of other ways, there is probably scripts out there, probably other plugins that have similar or simpler functionality but I think we should really look into adding this as I don't see a credible reason that outweighs the fun it adds to the server.
Thank you for reading.
