New [VSH/FF2(?)] Add Eureka Effect as Engie Pad Wrench

[mub]

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2569121

I've seen a VSH server or two use this mod before as a way to give VSH Engineer better support utility, and to use the EE wrench. It's a hell of a lot of fun.

I'm pretty sure all it does is give you bidirectional teleporters. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not entirely sure since I hardly use it.

Played with these on other servers. Not fun for Hale at all.

The mod has plenty of convars available to easily modify the plugin if nerfs end up being necessary, which we could combine with existing TF2 modifiers to do stuff such as...

-Make the pads cost 100 ammo instead of the default 50 to place to make it much harder to build and rebuild during the round.
-Significantly reduce the pad health to something tiny like 25HP to make it far more susceptible to a Boss' non-melee attacks (not sure what that is in FF, but for VSH it's weighdown explosion, Easter Bunny eggs, and CBS arrows.)
-Make the Engineer with EE run slightly slower (-~10%?) to be a more vulnerable support/rely on his own speed pads for evasion.

(Eureka Effect by default also receives 20% less metal from dispensers and ammo boxes, too.)

Didn't Skial make the Eureka Effect have two-directional teleporters?

I haven't seen anyone use it anymore though, did they remove that?

personally fine with it, would add a new dynamic that people can play around with

Supposedly FF might have it on the EE, but they don't really see anybody use it.
EE is still disabled for VSH.
