    Hello it's me,

    I was wondering if we should add another VIP / Donator feature called: !paint.
    bind "key" "+paint"
    Note: It should only be visible for the one who painted it. Not for everybody.

    Colors that should be chooseable in the donator menu if not already possible:
    - Red
    - Green
    - lightBlue

    I see this escalating into swastikas and racist slurs on walls. Definitely a no from me for our public servers. However we could make it available for the donator server only where, well people tend to behave.

    Again:
    If this gets implemented it should be only visible for the one who paints it!!!! It doesn't matter on which server then.

    This should be a VIP feature on all servers. Otherwise you would limit it to the top250. Therefor less people interested into donating for a useful / fun feature.

    My bad, I must have overread it

    Though how about you make it visible for everyone on the donator server? So Player X can mark some things for Player Y. (For example the tip of the ramp like in Trofles case)

    I honestly don't know how to feel about that. Every donator could use it then.You are right when you say that this might escalate to quickly. In case it would be visible for all on the donator server.

    So if you wanna make use of it you should proabably make your own markers. Servers are not private enough to make the marks visible for all in my opinion. I don't know for what players the server is limited which trofl was playing on.

    But lets get some more opinions on this.

    Going to be a Donator only feature like noclip is already. Cause you can only use it effective in combination with noclip anyway.

    Make this happen, donator only, and make it visible for all on the one server where people behave. And visible only for the individual on the others? This sounds like an awesome feature, really nice suggestion Rizor!

    I just don't think a feature that can help you to improve records on certain maps should be VIP-exclusive. It will just create a disadvantage for anyone who is not able or does not want to donate and for me it feels like this would be a bad idea.

    Since poeple tend to forget this I thought im going to pick this up again.
    This is no hate or critizim. I just felt that I have to mention this:

    This isn't just taking the plugin and putting it on the server. This change will probably need some code work in order to make it fit for all asked requirements.
    Which again is a lot of effort to do so (time, work).
    With that being said supporting with 5 € (1 package of cigarettes) for a whole month of VIP service would then be even more justified with this tool than it currently might be.
    If you donate directly for a year it only costs you 3,33 € a month.

    Supporting a server / community you play regularly on with 3 € / month to make projects like this happen. Is in my personal oppinion totally justified and fair.
    n0name tries to implement almost every suggestion no matter how much effort some of them take and drops some of his weekends for that. A little bit support and appreciation for this would be appropiate.

    If you cant afford the VIP-Status let me know. I will send you 2 cs:go keys every month. If you think that it is going to be such a big disadvantage.

    Marking this as implemented.

    While the linked plugin is a good base, some changes still have to be done:
    • Better organization of the code itself (it's quite a mess atm), or better yet, rewrite the entire thing
    • Instead of using TE_SendToAll, use TE_SendToClient (so not everyone sees it)
    • Add a menu for choosing the color (color is randomized atm)
    • Make it donator only

    Will try to implement it by the end of July.

    I dont know if this is included in the plugin which already exists but might also add this to make it perfect:
    1. Be able to change the size of the paint
    2. Be able to remove the paint somehow --> bind "key" "+eraser" ?

    Might have forgot to mention that there should to be a way to remove the paint again. My bad sorry.

    Probably the best case:
    bind "key" "+paint"
    bind "mwheelup" "paint_color" (to change colors)
    bind "mwheeldown" "paint_size" (to change decal size)
    bind "key" "+eraser"

    Note: the eraser should have a standard 1-2 units larger size than anything you could get with paint_size. So there is no need to change the size of the eraser than and you are able to erase every size of the paint.

    Implemented and installed on all Surf as well as Bhop servers.

    Commands
    • +paint / +sm_paint - start painting (bind this to a key, e.g. bind "o" "+paint"
    • !pcolor, /pcolor, sm_pcolor - change the color of the paint (currently available: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Pink, White)
    • !psize, /psize, sm_psize - change the size of the laser - up to 12.0 HU, starting from 1.0 in 0.5 steps
    • !pclear, /pclear, sm_pclear - clear all paints you have placed. Please note that it may take up to 5 seconds before all lines are gone, due to the nature of TempEnts.
    Generally, your paintings will remain as long as you reconnect, or use !pclear.
    Thanks to @Rizor@Rizor for helping me test!
