Timeleft Hostname

[Hell Phoenix]

Timeleft Hostname
Hell Phoenix
http://www.charliemaurice.com/plugins

Description:
This is a port of Cheap_Suit's amxx plugin to sourcemod. It grabs the timeleft for the map, and
puts it into the hostname so people can see how much time is left on the current map. Note that
because of how the source engine works, this doesnt work until someone joins the server.

Thanks To:
Cheap Suit - for the original plugin
Ferret for pointing out some things to fix =D

Versions:
1.0
* First Public Release!
1.1
* Added missing mapend timer kill
1.2
* Fixed errors in the console
1.3
* Fixed frequency cvar not doing anything if set


Cvars:
sm_timeleft_hostname_frequency 2.0 - How often in seconds to update the hostname with timeleft
****You MUST set this in a config such as sourcemod.cfg or server.cfg...it cannot be changed
"on the fly"

Make sure you are using at least 1474 of sourcemod!

[ferret]

Not really an issue at all but!

GetMapTimeLeft(timeleft);
if (timeleft <= 0)

Could be

if (!GetMapTimeLeft(timeleft) && timeleft <= 0)

GetMapTimeLeft returns true or false based on if the mod supports it, so it might be better to rely on that.

[ferret]

Also, you need to kill the timer OnMapEnd... Your current setup will continuously recreate the timer OnMapStart without ever stopping the original timer.

I thought all plugins are unloaded at map change?

I tried changing the getmaptimeleft, but it gave me some undesirable effects. Its a good idea though, I will try and see why it is acting weird (it gave me a timeleft of something weird when it shouldnt have even run yet because nobody had joined the server).

Thanks!

[ferret]

Plugins are unloaded at map change in AMXX.

In SM, they are only unloaded if they are told to, or if they change. (This means your globals are also persistant across map changes, fyi)

[Hell Phoenix]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info =D

[Hell Phoenix]

Updated to 1.1 to fix the mapend timer kill =D

[wraithcss]

This is a great plugin. I have added commands to my supermenu extensions when certain game modes are launched (GunGame, Zombie Mode, DeathMatch, etc) that changes the hostname to inform joining players we're running a game vs normal pub play.

Is it possible to recode this as a hostname manager and include the current time left on a map, AND the current mode of play? It could key off the reg names of the popular game modes: GunGame, RPG:Mod, CSSDM, Zombie Mod, etc - with a variable front name cvar in a config file:

The hostname would always be: XYZ Clan Server - Variable Game Mode 1 - Time Remaining 12min

Or something similar.

[Hell Phoenix]

Possibly, would have to look into it. I dont know where those values are stored since I dont run a CS server.

Nice plugin. One problem. Without plugin and standard ones in the sm package on empty server cpu is 0.00 with this plugin on empty server it jumps to 8.90 - 11.0. This is on a dedicated server.

Maybe have a cvar to limit the amount it reports that can be set. every 30 seconds or every minute etc.

[ferret]

You should disable your timer when the last player disconnects. That should allow the server to fall back into an idle state.

[Hell Phoenix]

Thats strange, I have it on my server and dont see any cpu usage increase.

There actually is a cvar to control how often it updates. By default its every 2 seconds.

sm_timeleft_hostname_frequency 2.0
^ that is the default.

[jones ray]

cpu usage here FINE as well :P

[Hell Phoenix]

Whoops...sorry about that. Get the new version, it fixes the errors.

1.2
* Fixed errors in the console

Hi there,

the cvar sm_timeleft_hostname_frequency seems not to work. Set them to another time ex. 5 and it change every 2 seconds the name.
Thanks for your work

Eagle

[Hell Phoenix]

Hmmm...I will look into that. Thanks for the report =D

[Hell Phoenix]

OK, I have the cvar working...I will post the version later today hopefully after I hear back from Falco.

Falco, when are you getting that error? I cant reproduce it after version 1.2.

[Falco]

I have not received the error for 16hrs now. I removed the bots. It appears to be related to that possibly.

[Hell Phoenix]

The error isnt a fatal error if you do get it, so its not hurting anything if it is because of the bots.

I posted up the new version:

1.3
* Fixed frequency cvar not doing anything if set

[Falco]

Perfect, thanks. ;)

[<DieSel>]

Using in Insurgency, no problems.

[Solarcaine]

Thank you I've had this running on my server for my Insurgency Server for a while now.

[MaKTaiL]

Is there a way of changing from (30:00) to [30:00] or something else??

I think you should add a command to change this thing. Just an idea ^^.

Bye Bye

[r3dh3adkid]

Here you go, I think that will work. I haven't tested it myself (yet) but I think it will.

[ulx]

Here you go, I think that will work. I haven't tested it myself (yet) but I think it will.

works perfect - thx:up:

[MaKTaiL]

Here you go, I think that will work. I haven't tested it myself (yet) but I think it will.

Thanks man, I love you xDDDD.

[MaKTaiL]

Is there a way to put only the timeleft between the [] and with spaces??? This way the name of the server doesn't get too long and still looks nice. Sorry for the inconvenience ^^.
You could do a cfg or command to change this type of things to fit everybody which.

Exemple: MaKTaiL Server [ 30:00 ]. <------------------------> Look, there are spaces between the [].

[RM_Hamster]

This version should do that.

I'm going to rewrite this plugin and add some stuff to it (yay my first plugin!). Coming soon :)

[MaKTaiL]

This version should do that.

I'm going to rewrite this plugin and add some stuff to it (yay my first plugin!). Coming soon :)

Man, thank you. Good luck with the rewrite. I will look forward to it ^^.
Don't forget to put a config or command to change this type of things I have asked.

Bye.

[MaKTaiL]

Where is your new plugin? I enter in the foruns everyday looking forward to it.

GOGOGOGOGO xDDD

[Atreus]

I'd love to to see this, but with rounds left.

[MaKTaiL]

I'd love to to see this, but with rounds left.

This is already being made in the Dynamic Hostname a completely rewrite of Timeleft Hostname.
