No Heroes servers and the new "Christmas" sounds

I play a lot on the No Heroes servers because they are usually busy and play a lot of the KOTH maps. In the past week one of them (maybe more?) has been playing mod'ed Christmas music and sounds instead of the built-in sounds. About half of it is quite funny, but the other half is vulgar and offensive. (Gerbil, I was playing on the server with you a couple days ago.)

Anyway, I know that we have the stock sounds turned off on our TOJ server because they're offensive (e.g. the "sex machine" song, and the other "I want to ... you like an animal" one). How hard would it be to turn them back on and replace the bad ones with something acceptable? I miss the announcements of various map achievements (e.g. "...is dominating." and "... is on a rampage.").

Yeah that's what I meant when I said there was a "dumb" plugin on that server. I should have said "vulgar" but didn't want to draw troll aggro and make things worse XD. It's hard to find a good server that doesn't hide half the other team are bots or have some retarded plugin nowadays. At least it wasn't an all crits, RTD server XD.

Those aren't stock that is another plugin that takes the audio announcements from various sources. One is Unreal another game played by Toj, actually on Mondays.

To explain most servers, including ours, run something called sourcemod http://www.sourcemod.net/about.php . Source mod has many different plugins that add additional functionality to the base game. In our case we use plugins to extend admin and voting functions which are by default cumbersome. Source mod plugins are also responsible for liked/disliked silly gibs plugin we use to replace exploding body parts and class limits.

I'll try to remember to look up the Unreal/Christmas announcements plugin but even if I can modify it to be acceptable to our server I may not put it on. Generally speaking the mods I put on the server are geared towards improving balance, improving ease of use and making the game more acceptable to Christian players. Regardless I'm (once again I know >.< ) attempting to get my next map running for game night so I will more than likely not research the plugin until after this Tuesday.

More plugins = higher probability of updates breaking the server.

We run SourceMod because it would be ludicrous to attempt to moderate a Christian-operated game server with RCON.

We run silly gibs to eliminate most of the blood and gore in the game and because it's awesome. It also takes away one opportunity for non-Christian gamers to criticize a Christian gaming group for running a server based on a game including blood and gore.

That is all the plugins No Heroes runs (at least on their Warpath server). I believe the kill streak sounds come from the plugin in bold.

Thinking about it an occasional short Christmas clip may not be a bad thing for a Christmas time only plugin. Unfortunately I am uncertain what event/plugin triggers the Christmas sounds to play. It could be the redbox plugin but that drops the gifts as well and I think it's a no heroes only plugin. I'd probably have to mod whatever plugin does it too.

Back to mapping for now focus Gerbil, FOCUS! XD

hmmm, guess it wasn't as easy as I thought, like simply replacing mp3 or wav files.

I think that could be done for the quake plugin but the Christmas plugin would have to have the gift code removed to work, plus I don't think no-heroes released the plugin to the public to use/modify. Honestly if I could and it was easy I'd load Christmas music for Christmas but I'm not enthused to load the quake plugin.

Edit:Hmmm looking there are other plugins to play music but that does not look easy. I'd have to "borrow" the mp3s from the other plugin or somewhere else too, not sure of the ethics there...
