Dead Name Change

Description

Plugin allow to a players change their names while not alive.
By default the plugin will work for anyone on the server.
Via CVars you can configure access level flags, disable text
"* NAME1 changed name to NAME2" and also disable the plugin.

CVars

• dnc_enable (0: OFF, 1: ON, default: 1) - controls plugin state
• dnc_access (access level flags, default: "") - allowed access level flags
• dnc_announce (0: OFF, 1: ON, default: 1) - controls announce text state

Very nice... very useful GJ VEN

Interesting. I might have to steal some (i.e. most) of this code for any of my plugins that change players' names.

I also have the "No Name Change" plugin (in the Request forum). It might worth a merge two in one and then change name to "Name Change Control". So you can have a full control of name changes. Modes:

• alive/not alive
• admins/all
• disable/enable announce text
• ...maybe more

thx. man!

[diamond-optic]

might want to label this as counter-strike instead of all mods..

because:

new /* const */ g_name_change[] = "#Cstrike_Name_Change"

..for example, dod for i believe uses the hl default of: "#game_changed_name"

and another thing in dod.. it prints in the chat:

..it changes right no matter what im changing my name to, but it always prints that in the chat..

Of course, marked as CS only, thanks.

After I installed this plugin, the server started getting this error over and over again:

L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:07: Invalid player id 71279224
L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:07: [AMXX] Run time error 10 (plugin "statsx.amxx") - debug not enabled!
L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:07: [AMXX] To enable debug mode, add "debug" after the plugin name in plugins.ini (without quotes).
L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:20: Invalid player id 71279224
L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:20: [AMXX] Run time error 10 (plugin "statsx.amxx") - debug not enabled!
L 05/10/2007 - 00:00:20: [AMXX] To enable debug mode, add "debug" after the plugin name in plugins.ini (without quotes).

I went and disabled all the stats plugins, but then all the plugins started generating the same type of error. I unloaded the CSX module but that had no effect. I disabled all the non-default plugins, no effect. I enabled debug mode on all plugins and all their errors were all similar to this:

L 05/10/2007 - 21:58:52: Invalid player id 71276812
L 05/10/2007 - 21:58:52: [AMXX] Displaying debug trace (plugin "admin.amxx")
L 05/10/2007 - 21:58:52: [AMXX] Run time error 10: native error (native "get_user_flags")
L 05/10/2007 - 21:58:52: [AMXX]    [0] amxmisc.inc::cmd_access (line 26)
L 05/10/2007 - 21:58:52: [AMXX]    [1] admin.sma::cmdReload (line 479)

By this time, the log file was grown to over 50Mbs because these errors were coming seemingly every second. Only when I reloaded the AMX module did the problem go away. I reenabled each non-default plugin one at a time. When I reenabled this plugin, the problem started again just like the first error above.

The server was using AMX version 1.71. Since I took this plugin off, there has been no more problems.

Upgrade AMX Mod X to the latest version and try to reproduce this again.
