TFTrue Plugin 2.8
——————–
Description
———–
This plugin was originally created by Red Comet, and it allowed you to control Friendly Fire, Critical hits, Respawn time and Static Damage.
VALVe finally added CVars to control most of those features in the game, and TFTrue development was stopped.
There is one feature which was not added, which is the Static Damage, and AnAkIn decided to revive TFTrue for it. (January 2009)
Some weeks after, VALVe added a CVar to remove the random damage. (February 2009)
Changing FoV and hit beeps were also made possible. (August 2009)
Some months later, VALVe added a CVar to turn on/off hit beeps :) (January 2010)
Now, the current features are modifying your FoV, soldier self damage, turning off TDH mini-crits/damage buff, Equalizer damage buff and Freeze Cam.

Installation
————
Create a directory in your team fortress 2 folder called addons (don’t worry if one already exists)
Copy all files from the addons folder of this archive into the addons folder of your server
An example directory would be
C:/srcds/orangebox/tf/addons/TFTrue.dll (or TFTrue_i486.so if it’s a Linux server).
Restart the server and the plugin should automatically load.
CVars / CMDs
—–
Server:
tftrue_gamedesc
Server owners can use this cvar to set specific text in the game description of their server.
There is a 40 character max, and your text will appear after ‘TFTrue’
tftrue_freezecam
This CVar will enables/disables the freeze cam. Default is 1 (enabled).
tftrue_maxfov
This CVar will set the maximum fov the players will be able to set with the “!fov” chat command. Default is 120.
tftrue_soldier_selfdamage
This is the coefficient for the soldier self damage. Default is 1.0, which is the normal self damage.
This was added because of a TF2 update which removed the 40% reduction of soldier self damage.
Example:
You can set it to 0.8 if you want 20% reduction of soldier self damage.
You can set it to 0.6 if you want 40% reduction of soldier self damage.
NOTE: This doesn’t affect rocket jumps !
tftrue_tdh_mode
If this is set to 0, it will be the normal TDH.
If this is set to 1, it will disables TDH mini-crits on airbone targets.
If this is set to 2, it will disables TDH +25% damage damage buff.
If you disable the mini-crits/damage buff and there are already some players using TDH, it will need them to switch classes
to reload TDH without mini-crits/damage buff. This is the same the other way around (reenabling mini-crits/damage buff).
tftrue_equalizer_damagebuff
This CVar will enables/disables the equalizer damage buff depending on health.
This means that the Equalizer will always do 33 damage if you disable it.
Client:
say !tftrue
In the chat, you can type !tftrue (or bind a key to say !tftrue), and it’ll display informations about the
TFTrue version and the current CVar values.
say !fov
In the chat, you can type !fov xxx, where xxx is a value between 75 and tftrue_maxfov. This will set your fov to this value.

Seems to be nice, i’ll check this tonight.
I guess its nice to see something being done about the random damage, although I very much doubt that simply taking an average and applying it to all weapons is the solution.
I’m guessing that the random range of damage as a percentage of maximum damage is not the same for each weapon/class so simply taking the middle value may result in too high/too low static damage for some classes compared to others.
hopefully we’ll never see this plugin mandatory in leagues. I can foresee all the game delays because of wrong server configuration and content update breaks.
@KOVACS: Well we could just test and see if it works fine, if not, some things could be adjusted.
EDIT: BTW the random damage of every weapons has a higher chance to be on a value of the “middle range” than the low/high range (most noticeable for weapons which have high range, like grenades and stickies).
@Norris: Game updates should not break it. The Static Damage of the last TFTrue version from January 18, 2008 was still working fine on Windows servers. If it didn’t break after 11 months, after that many updates, I don’t think it’ll broke with an other update. But the Linux one has been broken, and we have fixed it, now the chance other TF2 updates will break it is low I think (probably broken because something was not done correctly in the old version, but now it shouldn’t). Anyway if it would be broken, a fix should immediately be released.
Worth a look perhaps? Nice to see tftrue back on the ball after they saved tf2 the first time round :).
From what I remember there were no major problems the first time it was about, so I doubt there will be many now, hopefully the coder stays active enough to update the program when patches are released.

Not yet. And I don’t have any servers to install it on atm.
Any advice on how to make this work on a created server, like one just in the game? I somehow managed to get TF2Turbo working on it, trying to get this working too. Any advice?
On a Listen Server (Create Server in TF2 menu) ?
Well it should be exactly the same:
Put the addons/ folder in your C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/YourAccount/team fortress 2/tf/ folder.
Then when you start the game, the plugin should load (there should be a message in console), and you just have to create a server.
If it doesn’t load, you can use the command:
plugin_load “../tf/addons/TFTrue”
And don’t forget to set tftrue_no_random_damage to 1. :)
Where did I say that all weapons do the same amount of damage?
They all do different amount of damage, it is just not random, and it is still distance based.
The random damage min/max is different for every weapon…
or I didn’t understand what you meant?
Thanks. But turns out it was working anyway, I just needed to restart TF2 like 2 or 3 times for some reason.
2 stickies with random damage no at 1 will always kill a soldier, even if they are this far from him:

Just testing this stuff makes me hate this game. The range of sticky damage is massive (as in the physical area covered by the sticky), and the damage is amazing even when the stickies arent underneath the enemy.
