Description:
Admin Screen was originally written by Rav for AMX Mod, and can be found here.

It forces the client to take a screenshot. This can be useful for a few reasons. People I know use this plugin to check for cheaters. On suspicion, they amx_screen the client and ban them. They tell them to post the screens on their site to be unbanned (granted they're clean).

Admin Screen 2 is different from Admin Screen because the original didn't allow you to specify the amount of screenshots to be taken. This one does. This one also uses a hud message and a client_print timestamp, instead of just client_print.

Commands:
amx_screen <authid, nick or #userid> <# of screens>

CVARs:
amx_maxscreens - Default 10 (How many screens are the admins allowed to take?)
amx_ssinterval - Default 1.0 (How much time between each screenshot?)
amx_timestamptype - Default 3 (0 = Off / 1 = client_print only / 2 = HUD message only / 3 = Both)

Re: Admin Screen 2

So it forces the client to take a screenshot and save it to their own computer?

Re: Admin Screen 2

It uses the snapshot command, so yes. You could take a screenshot of it yourself, but you wouldn't be able to see their cheats ;)

Re: Admin Screen 2

There is a bug.

When I use "amx_screen user 5" command It seems that all players take a screenshot.

I've asked to another admins and a player. They found 5 screenshots in their folder.

Re: Admin Screen 2

I made something like this but abandoned it for a few reasons.

1 - Some cheats totaly block the screenshot and snapshot commands
2 - Others 'hide' and turn everything off when the screenshot\snapshop cmd is used
3 - If you really think someone might be using cheats flag them with serverbuddy and IF they send in their scan it will tell you more then you could ever get out of a screenshot

Re: Admin Screen 2

Fixed the bug thanks to help from GHW_Chronic. I also added a new CVAR for the timestamp type.

Re: Admin Screen 2

fear i use amx_screen, and the way i use it is completely differant. You screen someone, then ban them, then if they want to be unbanned, they must show me the screenshots i took on them, if they dont, then baibai

nice work jigga, i'll try this version out :)

Re: Admin Screen 2

@arkshine

This is unrelated to this topic--but I'd like to say that your signature messed w/my head. That picture of birds flying around--well I thought flies or bugs were crawling on my laptop screen and I started hitting the screen and smacking it and --well-- yeah...

Just thought I'd share that.

GJ nice plugin. :)

Re: Admin Screen 2

You have 3 required command arguments (including zero argument - an actual command) so you should specify 3 when executing a cmd_access.

You should use a bitwise operators (http://wiki.amxmodx.org/index.php/Pawn_Tutorial) when checking for timestamp type. That will allow to not repeat the exact same block of code twice.

Re: Admin Screen 2

I fixed the cmd_access, and I pmed you about the bitwise.

That seems to do the job--the only thing this has that yours doesn't is the option for multiple screen shots at different intervals.

Perhaps you could add a feature where it says "Screenshot 1" to the player, takes a screen shot, and so forth doing X amount of screenshots with interval X before banning them. This allows 2-3 different views in order to catch a hacker and make it certain.

Without intervals in the other one, this one is still useful.

Re: Admin Screen 2

Thanks SubStream :)

I have more ideas to add to this, but I don't have the time at the moment. I'll be doing what VEN said, as well as adding more options to it.

Re: Admin Screen 2

Well, I ban Hackers permenantly, no questions asked. If an admin I trust dearly, says someone hacks then bam! BAN! but if not sure we will watch him. In the end we will make a decision. If we don't know we vote ban him on server. The most I would ever use this for is probaly just making aninated .gifs lol. But, I bet it will help alot of server owners.

Re: Admin Screen 2

someone find out method how to upload screens on server ?

i posted in that thread, and i dont want to necessarily ban them right after screen commands, i do the screens @ my own interval, then ban them

@smile, its possible, but it requires the player to run a client them self to upload it, which isnt really possible plugin wise

Re: Admin Screen 2

where/how do i view the screenshots??

Re: Admin Screen 2

They will be in your cstrike folder

Re: Admin Screen 2

I took a picture, but I did not found any picture , I even searched. No pictures.
Can you please explain a little bit?

For example:

I am an admin in my server, a player enteres, he plays, he gets always headshots and his score is like 72-10, I spec him but I cant decide weather he is a hacker or a pro, the player name is desire, I use the command amx_Screen desire 2

The command just took 2 screenshots of his screen by his pc with time and date stamp, so i ask him now to send the 2 screenshots which are located in his cstrike folder to make sure if he is hacking or not.

Re: Admin Screen 2

Well, that is a very nice ide.
But if it possible you can change so you get the picture instead.

And a other thing. Does this realy detect cheats? I was going to cheat on my own server and then take a picture, but game crashes when I open CS with cheat :(

Re: Admin Screen 2

No, you cannot get that pictures automated with this plugin. If someone is using a wallhack for example yes you can see this if he sends in the screenshots.

Why you cannot start a cheat at cs 1.6 atm? Thanks to Valves adverts, 99% of all cheats crash with the update http://www.die-lappenbude.de/forum/i...les/lachen.gif
There are only a few cheats out that run with cs 1.6 actually, and those seem not to be very pupular until now.

Re: Admin Screen 2

What access i need set to allow use amx_screen ?

Re: Admin Screen 2

can some1 add amxban support for this plz?

Re: Admin Screen 2

I know there is not needed in one server was this plugin without amxbans support and was amxbans all was fine..

Re: Admin Screen 2

I hope that would be possible
And btw, there are some cheats that are screenshot proof, so dont trust much the screenshots. but still, its an excellent way but some idiots doesnt even know where is cstrike folder

Re: Admin Screen 2

haha true.

but u can see wallhacks. Crosshair, names.

Re: Admin Screen 2

Is it possible to upload the screenshot on a webspace account?(FTP or _POST) the cheater can fake the screenshot with photoshop or something else.. :(

Re: Admin Screen 2

Hi there,

Is it possible to get a proof that shows the command has been executed through the server (logs) or admins side (console)?

thx

Re: Admin Screen 2

Where is stored the photos? which folder will it stay?
is some photos of the suspect for my computer too?
Excuse me if I posted in the wrong place, but I'm not very good at English, I'm Brazilian
I love this forum. is all good! ..
f4lco

Re: Admin Screen 2

The photos are stored on the players hard-drive (in cstrike folder?). The player must send them to the server admin manually.

The client would have to initiate it manually out of game.

Re: Admin Screen 2

Hey, guys! Help me please! How can i disable admin's immunity to screens?
Is it possible? Or, maybe, change the immunity flag?

Re: Admin Screen 2

I have edited the plugin:
- added delay before taking snapshot to wait till chat message & HUD appears on client screen
- added notification to other admins about taking snapshot using amx_chat

Code:

I ask about some improvements:
- switch() instead of if() statements
- code optimization
- hide nick of admin if amx_activity is set to 1
