I apologize for speaking so strongly against Valve like I just did, but it
is a reflection of how angry the community is towards Valve who love playing
HL2-DM. The Steam Forums are filled with disgusted players and server
admins, many of which have left the game and won't return. Actual server
and player numbers have clearly dropped over time because of this.
Valve NEVER gives us any feedback or progress about this RETAIL PURCHASED
LEVEL, or even let us know they give two shits, either here or in the Steam
Forums.
No patches in over 5 months...that is truly disgusting for a product that
they openly promote on their Steam Product Sales webpage. (Not to mention
DOD has been coming soon for about 9 months).

Anyway, this autoswitch fix at least helps those of you who still care about
this game.

Great link , thanks Mikee going to stop the auto switching asap.
Saint K., future reference, put "how armor works" in the subject line
these posts are archived by subject, it will help others find answers.

I went through this exercise while doing Valve's lazy ass job with their
failure to fix any of the bugs in HL2-DM in over 5 months. In this
case we
got rid of the the weapon autoswitch in HL2-DM, where when you walk
over a
weapon you don't have you were previously forced to switch to that new
weapon...even in the middle of a fight. Did Valve give a shit about
fixing
this? Nope. So a few of us figured out that if you manually extract the
weapon script txt files from the SP installation, and edit them, then
replace those respective .ctx /scripts/ folder weapon files, you can make
server side mods of weapons.
You can read about the post here:

How long would this have taken Valve to edit their precious encrypted
.ctx
weapon files, and fix this? It took us a few minutes once we figured out
how to sidestep their bullshit no support for the last 5 months.
Valve's horrible support for HL2-DM (as I have said numerous times on
this
email list) is the main reason that I'm closing 2 of my 3 HL2-DM
servers in
2 weeks (as others have already done), and will never buy another
bullshit
Valve product.
Thank God Battlefield-2 is scheduled for release June 15-20th.
