[TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.3.2, 2023-07-22)

TF2 Weapon Reverts

This plugin reverts many fun weapons that have been nerfed over the years back to their pre-nerf states. Over 40 weapons are reverted in this plugin, a full list can be read below.
Server owners can choose which weapon reverts they want enabled. For reverts that aren't straight upgrades, each player can also choose to disable them for themselves via a menu.

If you host a server with this plugin, post it below so others can check it out!

Notes & Known Issues

Enabling/disabling the plugin in the middle of a map may cause minor inconsistencies and is not recommended, use configs.
The ability to pick up dropped weapons can cause inconsistencies, so the plugin force-disables all weapon drops when it's enabled.
Running this plugin alongside other plugins that mess with weapon attributes like VSH may lead to unintended effects and is not recommended.
The Dead Ringer revert is not 100% accurate - original DR provided 90% incoming damage reduction for 6.5s, with damage taken reducing this duration.
I have no way of knowing what the original duration reduction formula was, so I have replaced it with 4s of unconditional 80% damage reduction. The initial hit that triggers DR still has 90%.
The Short Circuit revert is not 100% accurate - secondary fire removes projectiles in front of you, can be used every 0.25s at the cost of 10 metal and deals 10 damage to players.
The Shortstop revert is not 100% accurate - the original did not have increased push force taken, but I decided to keep it because I think it's funny.
The Dead Ringer's speed boost sound still plays even when no actual speed boost is given. This is clientside and cannot be avoided.
The Sydney Sleeper's teammate extinguish mechanic is a bit janky since I had to recreate it manually.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Wow! Thanks for making this awesome plugin. I was looking for plugins which makes weapon balance pre-Jungle Inferno of TF2 but finally someone made this plugin publicly :)

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Honor does not work properly even when revert Zatoichi is turned off.

Old Zatoichi can kill normal Zatoichi at once, but normal Zatoichi cannot kill old Zatoichi at once.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Would it be possible to revert the panic attack you know, the load 4 shots and unleash them? If not that's fine.

Can't reproduce, do you have a crashlog?

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Can you make Soda Popper 2013 one toggleable? (Replacing with multiple jump instead of mini crit)

Also it seems there is bug with Soda Popper, when gauge is recharged, the mini-crit applies instantly.

The moment hit the enemy, the server crashes, and nothing is written to the log. I'll find out more and write down the cause.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Hey, just wondering if anybody knew of a server that uses this plug-in that I could play on? I never got to experience these versions of the weapons and I'd really like to.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

If this plugin receives more updates, I have a few recommendations.

Rescue Ranger: Revert so metal is once again no longer required to heal buildings.

Panic Attack: Revert to use "Beggar's Bazooka" mechanics once again (load and fire up to four rounds at once, accuracy decreases with player health).

Darwin's Danger Shield: Revert to old attributes (Bullet damage taken reduced by 15%, explosive damage taken increased by 20%). I personally hated the old DDS, but it feels wrong to leave it out since this mod is all about reverting weapons to their glory days.

All Demoman Shields: Revert so shield bash always does full damage regardless of charge meter drain.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

I've added you to steam to discuss this issue but figured I would also post about it here. I'm on linux with sm version 1.10.

I've installed the required dependencies but when I try to load the reverts.smx plugin I get an error. The rcon call returns with the following:

Code:

L 07/02/2021 - 14:53:25: [SM] Exception reported: Function signature "CTFWeaponBase::PrimaryAttack" was not found.

L 07/02/2021 - 14:53:25: [SM] Blaming: reverts.smx

[SM] Plugin reverts.smx failed to reload: Error detected in plugin startup (see error logs).

[SM] Plugin reverts.smx reloaded successfully.

The error log has essentially the same error message but it shows your local file's location like 'C:\Users\Bakugo...'

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Not sure if the gamedata is proper or not. Plugin crashes my server as soon as a player joins a class.

Update your sourcemod and any plugins you have that use gamedata txts (including this one).

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Is there a way to check what exact servers use this plugin?

The top page shows how many servers use it but doesn't show the server names/IP. Would love to play some servers that use this plugin!

For servers listed on Gametracker you can use their search system.
There's also Battlemetrics.com which has a couple more servers but doesn't let you search by variables, you need to use some other search engine.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts

Made a pic that better shows the plugin's changes. Please check for any mistakes.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.2.0, 2021-11-19)

There is a bug where taking a Civilian pose after the plugin is active makes you invincible.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.2.0, 2021-11-19)

I'm new to server hosting, and I got everything set up correctly, but some items aren't being forced disabled though the commands. I was wondering if I did anything wrong.

What do you mean? The ones showing up as disabled correspond with the ones you set to 0.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.2.0, 2021-11-19)

Some items are still toggleable by the user when I would want to keep it the same for the entire server

Currently there's no way to force-enable items, only force-disable. I might add this in the future.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.2.0, 2021-11-19)

Are you planning any other reverts in the future? For example, the Persian Persuader or Quick-Fix?

To add onto this, a powerjack (back when it would overheal heath) revert and a crit-a-cola (25% movespeed on use) revert would also be awesome.

Along with the Backburner (+50 HP), and the Phlogistinator (90% damage resistance, push immunity, and full heal on taunt)

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.2.0, 2021-11-19)

Hey, i have a request of this plugin.
Could you add an option to fully revert the Heavy nerf from Love & War ("All mini-guns now have damage and accuracy ramp up after they start firing. Full accuracy and damage is reached 1 second after firing")?
I know that Jungle Inferno made that nerf more bearable by making it only apply when the heavy stops revving instead of every time he stops firing his minigun, but he still feels weak.

If you need help how to implement it, nosoop shared to me a quick explanation of how it could work:

Quote:

What the game does is call CTFMinigun::GetProjectileDamage and CTFMinigun::GetWeaponSpread, which checks how long it's been since the entity started firing, and adjusts the damage and accuracy ramp based on that. I think the simple fix would be to modify the firing start time to something early enough that the ramp up is finished, or hook it and return the result from its superclass.

However, the property isn't synchronized between the server and the client, so unless you apply an attribute to neutralize it in close to real time, the client won't see accurate bullet spread.

Also is this plugin compatible with Rebalanced Fortress 2?

You Sir/Madam are legendary. I was starting to have my theories on the weapons that may have been causing it and after attempting to figure out why TF2 was leaving no logs and google giving super irrelevant answers, you just helped me fix everything.

It would explain why the crashes happened randomly and why it wasn't on kill or anything like that.

But can confirm, that upon disabling Sydney sleeper everything soundly works and has no issues.
Tested multiple times and every time it was the Sydney Sleeper till after disabling that revert.

I have since moved over to Sydney Sleeper extinguish and it works great.

I would commission this mod to be continued and improved!

See above. Keep in mind that the goal of this plugin was to bring back weapons that became significantly less fun over the years, not just make boring weapons OP again. It specifically targets weapons that encourage more varied and interesting playstyles, the backburner and phlog do the opposite.

If you can reliably reproduce a server crash with this plugin, please install Accelerator and post a crash report here. Sydney Sleeper doesn't crash the servers I usually play on so I don't know what the cause is.

I believe I've finally identified and fixed the cause of this crash, it only seems to happen on sourcemod 1.11 and windows so I wasn't able to reproduce it until now.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.3.0, 2022-07-03)

Can you solve the issue it has with the dropped weapons inconsistencies? I think it surely can be solved. And what does the inconsistency mean anyway?

The plugin changes how weapons work using a combination of weapon attribute changes and plugin code. Weapon attributes are changed by the plugin when a player first spawns in with their weapons, and if someone else picks up a dropped weapon, it will have the attributes that it had when its original owner spawned. Because the plugin allows some reverts to be disabled on a per-player basis, this means that if you pick up someone else's weapon you can end up with a broken/inconsistent weapon if you have the revert enabled but the other player didn't or vice-versa.

There's probably some way to fix this, but I don't think the dropped weapon mechanic is valuable enough to justify the effort and added complexity. I personally never use it.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.3.0, 2022-07-03)

Your Eternal Reward disguise doesn't work at all.

Try installing the gamedata from this PR.

If there's any other issues beyond that, do report back.

Released an update with the new gamedata and some fixes. I don't think recent updates caused any other issues but I might be wrong, let me know if you find any.

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.3.1, 2022-12-10)

i don't even know what else to say but thank you lol, i am in love with this plugin and my regulars have similar feelings. i have always wanted something like this but never have thought to recreate it in plugin form. this is genius. i run this plugin on all 10 of my tf2 servers but i'll only post a couple if anybody is interested in playing with this plugin!

Code:

semi-serious:

DarkPyro's Mario Kart: 104.153.108.77:27015

DarkPyro's Minecraft World: 74.91.122.227:27015



casual tf2:

DarkPyro's 2Fort Minecraft: 205.178.177.28:27017

DarkPyro's Turbine Revamped: 205.178.177.28:27018



(i chose the most active)

Re: [TF2] Weapon Reverts (v1.3.1, 2022-12-10)

Didn't the Loch n' Load for Demoman only have 2 pipes instead of 3?
The Soda Popper also used to turn yellow, not purple.
No old Panic Attack?
No pre-nerf mini-guns for Heavy?
Spy used to be as fast as Engineer, Pyro, and Sniper.
The draw speed from every weapon was slower.

These are my remarks so far, as someone who played since 2011 in the Uber update. I remember these clearly.
