Item Conversion (Vscript)

I think everyone is familiar with this feature. Yes, this feature is often used on mutation modes. & probably some questions pop up, like?

Well, there are few differences on this mod, like for example, item conversion can be used during play without having to wait until the next round by modifying the cfg file. Another difference is, this mod can also convert junk items to weapons/ usable items (junk items = plastic chairs, tables etc). & this mod can be used on any modes, as long as the modes allow vscript mods (you'll need to host a local server, or the server needs to have this installed).

Ok, let's start from the available files in "ems" folder.

1. "- (important info, read first) how to register items on cfg files.txt": This contains some guides to configure the "item conversion.txt". Remember to read this first, at least only on the first point as the first point contains the list of item model names for weapons & usable items.
   
   
2. "item conversion.txt": It contains names of item models to convert & what items will convert the listed item models.

• In "item conversion.txt" cfg file, you'll see default contents like this:
  
  pistol = weapon_pistol_magnum_spawn sniper_scout = weapon_hunting_rifle_spawn awp = weapon_hunting_rifle_spawn
• Texts in the front represent item model name. You can write this in full name (examples:"w_sniper_scout.mdl", "w_pumpshotgun_A.mdl"), or just few parts of its model name (examples: "desert_eagle" or just "_eagle" instead of the full name "w_desert_eagle.mdl", "ak47" instead of "w_rifle_ak47.mdl").
  
  
• Texts in the front can use any item models, not limited only on weapons/ usable items (examples: if you write "round_table" or "plastic_chair", that item will be converted into either weapon/ usable item). But to avoid problems/ bugs, only convert movable objects & try not to convert static objects.
  
  
• Texts in the back after equal symbol represent the weapon/ item spawn classname. The weapon/ item spawn classname must use "_spawn", just like the examples on the default texts. Otherwise, they will be bugged.
  
  
• Texts in the back can only spawn weapons & usable items, but can't be used to spawn carriable items (propane tank, gascan, gnome, cola etc). If you write carriable items there, they will be bugged.
  
  
• Special case for texts in the back, "upgrade_spawn" can't be registered there so you can't spawn laser upgrade. But you can spawn upgrade ammo packs (incendiary/ explosive) as they have "_spawn" classnames.
  
  
• Item Conversion is triggered automatically in the beginning of each round, & there's a clientprint notification for that.
  
  
• Item Conversion can also be triggered during play by pressing "TAB + R" (reloading by holding TAB button). This alternative method will trigger "Item Conversion" in 1 second after reloading.
  
  
• There's an alternative method to trigger Item Conversion immediately. In case if the Item Conversion notification takes too long to appear, you can trigger the conversion process immediately by shoving any objects with classname or movable medium/ big objects (examples: Weapons, medkits, pills, ammo, saferoom door, normal doors, common infected, some tables & chairs can trigger the conversion process when shoved. But small objects like bottles, small boxes etc that you can walk through can't trigger it).
  
  
• The replaced item only has 1 pcs/ count.

1. A chat command to detect model name: Type "check entity model" while pointing your crosshair to an object to detect the object's model name.
   
2. Special Shove Mechanism to detect model name: Press "TAB + CTRL + SHOVE" & shove an object to detect the object's model name.

So, with this mod, you don't have to play certain mutation modes in order to convert some items.

• If a bug happens, let me know along with the details of when this happens & what items you try to convert before this happens. But as long as you write the correct format, bug won't be triggered).
  
• It's not recommended to convert carriable items as some campaigns use them for certain events. & avoid converting static objects (static objects are detected as map name when using the chat command feature above), as it might trigger a bug as I haven't tested it yet.
