A plugin that allows the top players (by points) to have a custom trail. Supports automatic updates (optional).
Important
Credits for the base plugin go to exkludera! All I did was integrate it with SharpTimer, fixed the teleport issue, and added some new config options.
- Add configurable trail for replay bot
- Fix sprites
If you want to know which particles you can use for trails, download Source 2 Viewer.
This will allow you view the contents of pak01_dir.vpk which has all of the particle files. Not all of them will work, and they are extrememly resource heavy, negiatively effecting client fps. Personally I would advise against using particles trails at this time. Hopefully I can improve this funcitonality in the future.
- Trail 0 is the trail assigned to anyone who has the permission (e.g. @ccs/root). Trail 1 is assigned to the top player on the server (points), Trail 2 is for the second player on the server, etc.
- You must have a trail configured for each number you have set in your TopCount. So if you have
TopCount: 10, you should have trails created ranging from 0-10. - The player rank trail takes presedence over the permission based trail (Trail 0) if a player is both in the top players and has the permission flag. I may change this in the future depending on feedback.
{
"TopCount": 5, // The top 5 players with the most points will get a trail.
"TicksForUpdate": 1, // How often the trail is updated. The higher the number the less smooth the trail will look.
"TrailPermission": "@css/vip", // Any player with this perm will get the trail set in Trail 0.
If you don't want this, just leave it blank.
"ReloadConfigCommand": "reloadtrailscfg", The command in game to reload your config, useful for testing
"UpdateConfigCommand": "updatetrailscfg", The command in game to update your config
"CommandPermission": "@css/root", // Any player with this permission will be able to use the reload/update commands.
"TeleportThreshold": 100, // If a user is teleported beyond this many units in a tick the trail won't show.
This makes it so that there isn't a long straight line between teleports/respawns.
"DatabaseRefreshInterval": 300, // How often the plugin fetches the list of top players from the database.
"DatabaseType": 1, // 1 = MySQL, 2 = SQLite, 3 = PostgreSQL
"DatabaseSettings": {
"Host": "localhost",
"Database": "cs2_db",
"Username": "admin",
"Password": "pw",

}
"Trails": {
"0": {
"Name": "Fire Trail", // The "Name" field isn't really necessary, you can omit it if you like.
I left it in so you can easily identify that "Color: 255 165 0" is Orange for example.

It will give you insight into how you might want to adjust your TeleportThreshold value, as it shows teleport distances.
