Ban Random Seed

Description
Same old snakeoil, brand new day.

A Primer
Randomseed is the thing computers use to know how to make their "as random as a computer can be" numbers "appear random", by setting it thoroughly and then preventing addons from changing it again -- this addon can prevent it from being set to weak or seemingly improbable streaks. For example, Waluigi Launcher sets the randomseed to the current OS time -- one of the worst possible values for randomness during runtime, every single time it thinks, meaning:

Someone using an extremely old SWEP Construction Kit weapon could be ruining your T rounds!

Ban Random Seed is an addon that is meant to replace Ban Randomseed:
  • Noise Complaints The debug prints only fire when developer 1 is set.
  • Traceable Prints Find out where addons are changing randomseed.
  • Isn't Legacy Uses a gma, and not a legacy bin, meaning no annoying errors about it.
  • Thorough On Windows The original addon cites not being thorough enough on Windows machines, so this version cycles the RNG to compensate and bring them to parity.
  • Traceable Prints Find out where addons are changing randomseed.

To Do
  • ... I'll be really impressed if you can think of anything that belongs here.

Please do not reupload this or include it in ServerContent, I'm working hard to keep this updated and compatible with other mods. I do not want people to get a bad impression that I can't help fix.

Also Try
Some other addons of mine that you should consider for your TTT2 games:
  • Map Vote Pools -- A map voting addon which emphasizes ideal playercounts.
  • PropSpec NoGrief -- Allow haunting props without getting in the way.
  • Thunder Makes Fire -- Lightning starts fires where it strikes.
  • Death: Combined Luggage -- Drop all your weapons, ammo, money, and inventory in a convenient carrying case that combines with others to reduce lag.
  • Timely Music -- Play music based on the weather and time of day, compatible with most music addon packs.
  • Awesome Hands -- Immersive functional hands for DarkRP and sandbox.

Also consider buying my games[entrancejew.itch.io] if you want. No pressure.

Aight so just install and it should be good to go.

This works on all servers, it runs on the client and the server separately and does not network the seed to be the same.

This work with peer to peer servers or it has to be used in a dedicated server?
