Releasing indiscriminately would cause this problem, but evaluating it on a server/admin basis would not

There are quite a few admins out there that would never do anything like that. At least give it a shot.
hmm... a voogru cloud, shared between communities.
Interesting idea, but first I need to implement a working version for my server.
I'm trying to think of how I am going to tackle a backpack that doesnt suck, since I can't use the existing one.

What I'd really like to see (ideally as a Valve-added cvar) is something to change all "Golden FAN of the +something -something" into "FAN", and "Crimson Rocket Launcher of Pain" into "Rocket Launcher" etc. Basically you can use whatever weapons are in your backpack but the server automatically equips you with the vanilla version in-game.
Of course, it would start a small internet holy war over over whether Valve-added new items qualified as "vanilla"...

The weapon names are not networked, meaning we're stuck with the default names.
I was considering making an entity that would allow mappers to define custom weapons for their map (which could be picked up or setup to replace weapons of a type), another option would be to allow mappers to apply temporary attributes to weapons (for example, 10% damage when player is inside a trigger).
But the problem with this is the maps end up only working on servers with my code and having this as a requirment is a little steep.

I like this idea because it could make the Sandman usable for Comp play.

And just think of what they'd take away/give away when that eventually pisses them off.

Voogru, don't release the plugin. You'll see server admins greedy for more population abusing it for donators... a quick, easy, and malicious way to profit off of a plugin. Unless of course, you manage to have the plugin linked to some sort of server that you control, for management in case someone starts abusing the plugin for profit (so you can effectively control how admins use your plugin).

You should know valve can track those actions easily. So any hats that got duplicated will become removed again.

Very cool. Congrats to anyone who's received one. I believe I saw this rocket launcher (definitely one like it) on the TF2Maps server the other night.
Is it me, or is Valve kinda making "special item equipped" players stand out more than others? Large sparkles, glowing halos, etc. lol
Kind of like, "...if you want to equip this sweet item, prepare to be used as target practice."
