Server Hop

About

Server Hop allows players to easily hop between servers you specify. There are other plugins that do this, but this one provides live server info and does not require anything other than the Socket extension (see below). The plugin refreshes server info every minute. Servers that are unreachable will be omitted from the menu until they are reachable again. By default, servers will be advertised to the players every minute.

For who

If you are a server admin with multiple servers under your wing and want your players to be aware of all of them and able to easily hop between them then this is the plugin for you :wink: This plugin was developed for usage on TF2 servers but is known to work on CSS and L4D servers as well.

Usage

The plugin is activated by typing "!hop" or "!servers". The player will get a menu with the servers you configured, and for each displays the servername, mapname and number of active players and number of maximum players. By pressing the number of the desired server and then confirming by pressing F3 (default) the player will automatically join the server in question. If the default F3 key doesn't work for you or you want to bind another key, type this in console:


Installation

1. Install the Socket extension on your server. Get it here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=67640

Good job. :mrgreen:

I have been waiting for someone to use AS2 queries to make this happen. Messed around with it some myself, but never had the time to finish it.

Will be testing this soon.

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

Can u add translate option :P and i better like to open that by say: /servers than !servers.

edit:
and 1 more thing :P can u delete confirm by click f3?

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

wow, something new and handy at last. There is 1 plugin like yours, but that one requires mysqls websites and just whole bunch of other factors to make it happen.
Just 1 question. Socket extension I read somewhere is not very stable and tends to crash server. Is it some new version now or something?

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

Thanks, let me know how it works for you :)

I'll look into translation. I cannot delete the confirmation thingy as it is builtin at a lower level.

Thanks. I know of that plugin, but I didn't like the MySQL requirement. The socket extension is in alpha state, but the author says it should be stable. I haven't had any crashes on the servers we run it on so I think it's all good.

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

This works great! Thanks!

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

works with css, nice work !!!!!!!!!!

Can you add an autoconfig?

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

I love this, works like a charm

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

Is there any other way to get live stats without using Socket extension? The more extensions I run the more I have to worry about after an update or for crashes. :/

Re: Server Hop [v0.5, released 2009-12-30]
 

Thank you :)

Cool ! Not sure what you mean by autoconfig ?

Thank you :)

There is a similar plugin that uses a MySQL database but that requires a MySQL database (duh :P) I feel your pain but I have had no issues with the Socket extension sofar.
