2.1.0

This release aims to add more configuration options and improve the convar defaults, thanks to feedback from the Deathrun community.

Some of these are breaking changes, so please read the changelog carefully to determine whether your server is affected.

Changelog

• Added new convar dr_prevent_multi_button_hits (def. 0) to configure whether players can toggle multiple buttons at once with weapons
  • This was previously always enabled. If your server relied on this exploit prevention, change the convar value to 1.
• Removed convar dr_runner_allow_button_damage
  • While useful in theory, there is only a handful of maps where this setting would be helpful, and those are easily fixed by adding a simple team or melee filter to buttons using Stripper. Due to its rare usefulness and potential to break more than it fixes, it has been removed.
• Added new convar dr_allow_dispenser_heal (def. -1) to configure whether dispensers should be able to heal players
  • -1 = Never heal while in a trigger_hurt
  • 0 = Never heal
  • 1 = Always heal
• Updated convar defaults
  • dr_speed_modifier_* defaults have been changed to 0
    • Class speeds do not matter much in the vast majority of Deathrun maps, with few exceptions. Because of that I believe it is more important to retain the original class speed values by default.
    • If you prefer the old defaults, set these convars:
      • dr_speed_modifier_scout -80
      • dr_speed_modifier_heavy 10
  • dr_activator_speed_buff default has been changed to 0
    • The speed buff was rarely useful and just added unnecessary clutter. The option is still there for those who prefer it.

2.0.1

Changelog

• Fixed gamedata for the 18/02/2025 TF2 update
• Fixed players having no collisions with map-placed teleporters
• Fixed GRU setting health of activators to 300
• Fixed player's classes getting shuffled on the first spawn

2.0.0

The entire plugin has been rewritten from the ground up, fixing several bugs and adding many new features.
