Good news... I can't find the source for the old respawn plugin. How is that good you say? Thank you for asking. Since I couldn't find the source, I went looking on AlliedModders, one thing led to another and I decided to do some troubleshooting. First I created a new L4D2 on my new laptop running Windows. I then installed MetaMod and SourceMod and only FuncommandsX v1.8, the latest version.

Teleporting worked! I am not sure what I had done wrong previously, but I decided to try it on #5. It worked there as well. So I ended up putting it on all our servers, testing each one as I went.

My next task was to get the latest version of the Respawn plugin and test it. Everything went well on the first test, so the old plugin went into the disabled folder and the new plugin was installed on all of the servers, testing some, not all, as I went. We are good on both Linux and Windows servers.

sm_tele playername

sm_respawn playername

When putting in a playername, you can use the full name or part of the name as long as it doesn't match part of any of the other current playernames.

Currently, "Teleport" is at the back of the Admin > Player menu. I should be able to add Respawn to the Admin menu, but it will involve editing a file, which I will do if anyone wishes me to.

I do ask, to please NOT use the colorize or disco or invisible player commands in the Admin menu. You can if you want, but it really annoys me, and hopefully it annoys some of you too.

Let me know of any issues.

geek, do you have the code for the admin menu? if you do i will go through it and remove non-working parts. give me something to do during the week i guess. plus it will give me an insight on how it all works too. maybe add in a few custom things too while im at it, such as the possessed.

Anything in addition to the stock admin menu from SourceMod has been added by the plugin itself. If you want some insight on how to manually add Respawn to the admin menu (the only plugin that I have had to manually add before) check the first post for that plugin at:

If you want to dabble in plugin code to remove current entries from the admin menu, the FuncommandsX source is in each of our servers at "addons/sourcemod/source" for Linux, "addons\sourcemod\source" for Windows. (Lokifrost and Mr.M@goo are the only ones with Windows servers 24/7, and Zooter's #6, my #2 & #12, and when DM2K runs one locally will also be Windows.) If you want to get the source from the source, go to:

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=75520

If you make it work, I would like to make one request, and that is about having a naming convention. For example, let's take FuncommandsX. The original plugin name is "funcommandsX.smx", I like to rename plugins (if it doesn't affect functionality) and add "a-" to the beginning of the name to collect added plugins at the top of the directory structure and add "_v##" to the end of the name before the ".smx" to make it easy to identify the version number of the plugin to know if that particular plugin is current or not. So FuncommandsX appears in our plugin list as "a-funcommandsX_v18.smx".

My request is that if you make changes and it works if you could add to that name to avoid confusion. Zooter has done something like this with the weapons plugin. So I would like a name like "a-funcommandsX_v18_SGC-01.smx" or "a-funcommandsX_SGC-01.smx" or "a-funcommandsX_SGC-01-l4d2.smx" to signify changes are for L4D2 and not necessarily used on L4D1. If you do drop the "_v18", please notate in the source code what the original plugin's version number is that you are modifying in case it has to be referenced by anyone else in the future.

I hope this helps and that I have not been too much of a pain with requests.
