Title: Question:About characters
Post by: WilliamSlapner on December 06, 2010, 08:48:20 am

Is there a command to put in a server.cfg that limits what character model players can choose?

No, there is no current command that will. You might be able to work up a server plugin(like sourcemod) to do it, but that might take some work.

Might be able to mod around a TF2 character sourcemod plugin, but I've never seen, nor done it.

K thank you, my William Slapner Gamemode will not be happening soon.

Well you might be able to limit that via gamemode. If your making a custom one, I think it might be doable.

I think KM, or another proficient python coder might be able to shed some light. They should post back within 24hours.

Look at scripts/python/GamePlay/liveandletdie.py .... specifically def CanPlayerChangeChar(self, player, ident):

Basically you can restrict character selections this way in Python. Return True to let them be that character, or False to deny it.

I wouldn't bother writing a python script right now. v4.1 introduced a slew of changes to Python that will break your gamemode. More information will be posted later but for now here is the Python changelog for v4.1: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/V4.1_Changelist#Python
