[CS:GO] Tripmines (rxg_mines)
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2020 11:36 am
A tripmine mod for CS:GO. This is one of the mods I've written to help popularize our CS:GO server. However, the server hasn't been doing very well lately, and our community might be moving away from CS:GO. I figure its time to start releasing some of the plugins.
Originally, this was going to be your typical "on the floor" mines (like Socom's PMN mines), but I figured that would get out of hand with people hiding mines where they can't be seen (under bodies). I noticed there was already a tripmines mod available, but it didn't work with CS:GO. I figured it would be best to rewrite the mod completely to suit my tastes, but props to L. Duke for the original tripmines mod/idea!
This mod has only been tested with CS:GO!
Features
Placement of trip-mines with a console command, or use of the unused key bindings.
Mines beep a few times before arming, they make another sound and brighten their beam when they arm.
Mines are colored according to team, teammates can set them off, but they don't take damage.
The damage and radius of explosion from the mines are adjustable with two cvars.
The mines can be defused by holding "USE" on them. They are then picked up and can be replaced. The defuse process takes 2 seconds and makes no noise. (although the client defusing will hear the "defuse" sound)
Mine model included. Some people think the mine is too small, but I think it's perfect since it makes it harder for people to exploit them via shooting from a distance to set them off. (they are hard to hit if you are more than 10ft away)
Team filtering feature.
Console Variables
Installation
Copy all files into your game folder if you have the default folder structure. It's highly recommended to mirror the material and model files to a webspace and point clients there with sv_downloadurl. Downloading files directly from the game server can be dreadfully slow (even though it's only 50KB of content)
Change Notes

Console Variables
- sm_pp_tripmines - Amount of mines to give each player at the round start. (default=0)
sm_pp_minedmg - The damage the mine explosion deals. (default=100)
sm_pp_minerad - Override value for the explosion damage radius. If 0, the radius will be computed with the damage value. (default=0)
sm_pp_minefilter - 0 = Detonate if anyone touches the laser, 1 = enemies and owner only, 2 = enemies only (default=0)
- A few things can be configured by editing the #defines at the top of the source file and recompiling:
MODEL_MINE - the model of the mine
MODEL_BEAM - the sprite used for the laser beam
LASER_WIDTH - the width of the laser beam
LASER_COLOR_T/CT/D - the color of the laser beam (according to team)
TRACE_LENGTH - the player's reach for placing mines
COMMAND - the console command to set a mine
ALTCOMMAND - an extra console command to set a mine (default = "buyammo2" which is unused in CS:GO (bound to "."))
