so that's what i got and it still isn't working (sorry to waste your time) the file is called run.command

changelog for 1.0.3.3?

v1.0.3.3
- I should send private builds privately instead of making official releases for them

v1.0.3.4
- Fixed issues with files created on Linux/Mac
- Added a proper run script for macs (run.command)
- Fixed update checking for people with terrible system proxy setup (like me)
- Added an update notice for Linux/Mac users

Been working closely with this guy for the integration of my HUD and he is so patient and really works hard to fix any problems I tell him about.

Super cool guy, +1 life points.

Nice, noticed ells hud also now shows up in huds instead of "something else"

All huds will show up in the HUD section unless some key files are missing, the HUD doesn't be sent up in any way for this :)

I still cannot do it. Here is the response:

Cannot open assembly '/Users/Amoran/Downloads/Plug_mono': File does not contain a valid CIL image.
logout

You don't need to do that anymore, there is a run.sh for linux and a run.command for osx.

v1.1
Additions
- Added a Plugin Gallery Website
- Added sppi:// protocol
- Added updates via a custom server, hosted by tsc
- Added "(ESC to close)" text to the text viewer
- Made a plugin gallery here

Linux/Mac
- Fixed folder button for vpks opening the file
- Added a Win7-ish button design
- Added auto updater

Settings:
- Fixed GlobalCheckBox not saving it's property value properly

Other:
- Fixed folders always having " - Copy"
- Fixed plugins not installing if a folder with the zip's name already existed

I'll add instructions how to get auto updates for your plugin and a spot in the gallery tomorrow.

Downloaded it to try it out, but there's a little problem. When I launch it, I get this:

http://puu.sh/6PU91.png

As you can see, it doesn't recognize the HUD or the hitsound or anything. It just recognizes the name of the folder the hitsound/hud or whatever is in. Is that normal?

That's normal, the plugins got recognized properly but none of them has any metadata or thumbnails :)

Alright, thanks for the quick response!

The Plugin gallery does not work at all for me

Works like a charm. Thank you so much for doing this <3

If this could work with the tf2huds.net site that would be amazing. Like an sppi download link on the new info page they're creating or something.

I added omni and I'm working on improving 4plug a bit :)

In the image you provided in the introductory post, metadata and a thumbnail are provided for a VPK file. How is this done? If I place a VPK in a folder, 4plug recognizes it as "Something Else". Thanks!

It should show up as a vpk if it is in the custom folder, image and metadata are stored in different files

So, vpk in /custom, and thumbnail40.png and readme.txt in /custom/[vpk name]? Sorry to be dense, I've looked through the documentation and can't seem find this info.

Download link down?

run.command not working for me (on Mac)

Hey Four, if you're seeing this, we love you and want you back D:

Hate to be that guy, but this link

doesn't seem to be working anymore. Did the website go down, or has the link been changed? If so, please share the link, since I would like to see some more mods that are compatible with 4plug.

Didn't want to start a new thread, so..

Looking for a way to switch between my casting HUD and non-casting HUD, is this still the best way to do it? Is this outdated/is there a better way?

Provided the plugin still works, this should do what you want to do #57.

However, since all you want to do is swap huds you can do it manually very easily. Because tf2 only looks for the core directories two levels into custom/, you can effectively remove custom files by placing them one level deeper into custom/.

Therefore, you can make an extra folder in custom/ called "disabled", and move whatever hud you don't want to use into that directory, leaving the hud you wish to use in custom/. Then you can just cut and paste the hud (from custom/disabled/ to custom/ and vice versa) when you want to swap them.

Path to used hud: tf/custom/HUD/
Path to disabled hud: tf/custom/disabled/HUD/

This will work, but you're not quite correct in that tf2 does not have a limit as to how deep it will search when loading custom content. The reason this works is due to the way the custom folder contents are merged into the game's virtual filesystem:

So when you have a hud in /custom/hud/, it's mounted in the game's root filesystem like so:

/custom/hud/materials/vgui/custom_ui_thing.res
         ^ the contents of this folder are placed in the root of the game's virtual
           filesystem, so the file overrides the default /materials/vgui/custom_ui_thing.res

When you move it to a disabled folder like this:

/custom/disabled/hud/materials/vgui/custom_ui_thing.res
           ^ the contents of this folder are still being searched!
             however, the custom file is now at /hud/materials/vgui/custom_ui_thing.res, so
             when the game loads /materials/vgui/custom_ui_thing.res, it uses its own copy.

You are still adding a new search path, so you are still suffering a potential performance hit from the game having to call out to the filesystem to check for custom content in that path. This can be actually noticeable if you are loading from a hard drive rather than a solid state drive. It is also possible to end up accidentally changing files that you didn't want to, depending on what you name your custom folders.

Personally, I prefer to keep my mods in vpks (which can be made by dragging a custom folder on /common/Team Fortress 2/bin/vpk.exe). Then you can just rename vpks to whatever.vpk.disabled when you want to disable them and then you are actually removing them from the game entirely - no performance hit, no accidental collisions, etc. This is what my custom folder looks like:

The only downside to my method that I've found so far is that fonts don't work in vpks, so you have to have them in a folder outside of a vpk.

yo can you add the option for outline damage numbers
