there is absolutely NO REASON and NO EXCUSE for disabling weapon duplication.

if youre worried about mingebags abusing it then youre just plain stupid

You're no commission buddy.

And this is just plain stupid.

neo644:
Yeah i was a little angry when writing that, but if people are abusing the manhack gun, then they can just voteban the offender(s). But its kinda like the votekick/bans, sure, they can be used for evil, but they can be used for good too.

neo644:
Actually i can still spawn the manhack gun, but not use it.

Minic:
Okay, I'll respond to this. ;D

Yes, a while ago we had problems with people spawning the Manhack gun, killing players, crashing the server, and what have you...

That was highly abusive, so I wrote some lua to strip that weapon from anyone who has it, as soon as they pick it up. Thats why you can spawn it, pick it up, but not have it... That will not be removed, too many people abused it, and ruined it for everyone else.

Second, there is another issue at hand here with the recent WireMod update... Now not sure if you know this or not, but Advanced Duplicator is part of WireMod... Let's see what I found after only looking for a few moments, shall we?


--- Code: ---if (!SinglePlayer()) then
local function NoItems(Player, ClassName, EntTable)
if ( Player:IsAdmin( ) or Player:IsSuperAdmin() ) then return true end
if string.find(ClassName, "^weapon_.*")
or string.find(ClassName, "^item_.*")
or string.find(ClassName, "^npc_.*") then
MsgN("AdvDupe: disalowing ",tostring(Player)," pasting item ",ClassName," (NoItems Rule)")
AdvDupe.SendClientInfoMsg(Player, "Not allowed to paste Weapons or NPCs", true)
return false
else
return true
end
end
--- End code ---

Basically what it's doing is, checking entities classes for the words "weapon_", "item_" or "npc_"... If the entities class contains any of those, it will not allow you to paste it.

Now lets say for instance, the mighty Manhack gun has a class name of "manhack_welder"... Well wouldn't you know, it doesn't contain the word "weapon" anywhere... That being said, Advanced Duplicator won't allow you to paste weapons, and you can still paste the Manhack gun. Yet the lua I wrote to strip you of it, removes it. That is working as intended, as I said too many people abused it, and I did something about it.

Now you mentioned spawning weapons in case you get weapon stripped. A perfectly valid situation...

The WireMod developers are the ones who are preventing you from pasting legitimate weapons. I suggest you should go complain to them about it, Advanced Duplicator is in their hands, not ours. They are the ones who changed it, not us.

I hope this clears up the situation a bit, bottom line. It will remain this way unless a WireMod developer changes it.

And just why are you trying to obtain Admin only weapons anyway?

neo644:
Im not trying to get admin weapons, im just trying to get chargers and extra ammunition. But, if i can find that piece of lua code, I can change it and post it here to not forbid regular weapons, ammo, and chargers.

EDIT: Here you go.

--- Code: ---if (!SinglePlayer()) then
local function NoItems(Player, ClassName, EntTable)
if ( Player:IsAdmin( ) or Player:IsSuperAdmin() ) then return true end
if string.find(ClassName, "^npc_.*") then
MsgN("AdvDupe: disalowing ",tostring(Player)," pasting item ",ClassName," (NoItems Rule)")
AdvDupe.SendClientInfoMsg(Player, "I am afraid I cannot allow that.", true)
return false
else
return true
end
end
--- End code ---

And your manhack stripper will prevent people from spawning admin weapons.
