Based off [L4D2] Player/Server Notification: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=118503

When I reported several issues with the plugin and it was never updated.. I rewrote it and incorporated into another plugin I use. Lately people have been asking for a replacement of the original.. so here is what I use..

Reports to everyone when a player client connects to the server and when they change teams (everyone except the affected client).

It delays reporting team changes for 1 second to be less spammy on the first round when everyone connects (and joins spectator team, then either survivors or infected). As people connect to the game in progress, it sometimes reports both. Can't do much about that w/o delaying it even longer (which would be silly to see the person running around and THEN see that they joined).

No convars, no commands, just install and watch the spam.

Versions:
1..0: Initial Release
1.0.1:

• Fixed string format error.
• Fixed handle error.
• Removed potential fake client team change reports.
• Verify userid = clientid after timer.

For example:
In start server: Game say message: rochelle joining, coach joining, nick joining...
And in during game: Game say message: Hunter joining, smoker joining...
Sorry for my english.

yep.. i already had that fixed last night - was just making sure the errors were gone before uploading 1.0.1

[cheewongken]

can you have a cvar so that it only says when a player connects to the server but not when the player changes teams or vice versa? thanks.

After installing metamod:source and sourcemod properly put the smx file into addons\sourcemod\plugins.

I don't need the hints of joining survivor / spectator, TAB is good to see LOL
