Useful Links on How to Run TF2 Weapon Reverts in Your Own Server - rsedxcftvgyhbujnkiqwe/castaway-plugins GitHub Wiki

This is a re-post of my badly written Steam ""Guide"" (and this is still badly written) with some very minor edits (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3481803051).

This is a quick guide on how to run the weapon reverts plug-in on your own server assuming you are a complete beginner at server hosting.

This guide will show you how to run your own dedicated server on your own machine which acts as a pseudo-listen server where you are able to leave the server. It is recommended to use a dedicated server instead of listen server (where you just make a server via the Create Server button in the game), because running SourceMod plugins on listen servers tend to be a hassle. If you do want to run on a listen server, you have to type -insecure in the launch options for TF2

DO YOU MISS THE SANDMAN AND CLEAVER COMBO? DO YOU MISS OLD AMBASSADOR? HERE'S HOW TO GET OLD WEAPONS BACK IN YOUR SERVER:

1. Install Source Dedicated Server. You can use any of the following guides:

     • (Linux): https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Linux_dedicated_server

2. Download MetaMod and SourceMod (latest versions)

4. Test out if SourceMod runs on your server.

5. After that, let's install the weapon reverts plugin.

   • There are basically two versions of the weapon reverts plugin that exists: Bakugo's version and the CastawayTF version. They're pretty much the same - the Castaway version just has more reverts like the Saharan Spy item set bonus and is updated frequently.

     • a. Bakugo version (the original base plug-in): https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=327281
     • b. Castaway version (has more reverted weapons, based and built on Bakugo's plugin): https://github.com/rsedxcftvgyhbujnkiqwe/castaway-plugins

   • List of reverted weapons in the Castaway version: https://castaway.tf/reverts.html

     • Quick video demonstrations of reverted weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWenueVOXZ0

   • For the Castaway version, you will need to manually compile the reverts.sp file into reverts.smx using the built-in SourceMod compiler program. You can compile plugins in Windows by pressing right-click in the Explorer and opening CMD, then typing "spcomp WIN32= reverts.sp". The files that matter in the Castaway GitHub are the gamedata folder, and the reverts.sp in the scripting folder.

   • For both versions, make sure you install the dependencies for the reverts to work:
