Automatically pick the right config based on the type of map being played

[icewind1991]

It's common for people when switching map types (pl, koth, 5cp) to forget to execute the right config for the new map leading to various issues while playing.

It would be nice if the server would automatically switch the config when loading a map.

This could be done with a server plugin like https://github.com/spiretf/autoexec

Do you know if that plugin handles having multiple league configs? i.e. It switches back on if the last config was a UGC/ETF2Lconfig.

Update: looks like it's gets set by a 'sm_autoexec_league' convar, not automatically.

Updated the plugin to automatically set the used league and gamemode when manually changing config

So when loading etf2l_9v9_koth and then switching to cp_gullywash to will stay on etf2l hl config (etf2l_9v9_5cp)

Ah thats nice, and friendly user messages too!

@Arie your thoughts?

Yeah cool, I'm a bit hesitant about the auto-loading of a config. There's no single right config for a given map. You might play UGC or ETF2L for example.

I like the automated switching of config based on the current config+map though.

@Arie: Just to note as per icewind's last comment the plugin handles league types automatically

I think this is harmless to have as Serveme sets the starting config on the reservations page allready. This plugin just adds convenience for the users when they chance maps in scrims saving them the cvar (something that half the tf2 population don't remember how to do 😄 ). I doubt that users often want to change between leagues in there reservations so it's a better default than a PL config for a KOTH map.

I you feel it's necessary I could always drum up a pull request to make it an option on the reservation page
