[ANY] MuteCheck
 

[ANY] MuteCheck

Description:
This simply shows who has muted a specific player via the game's mute button. This has only been tested in TF2, but it should work in any Source game. By default anyone is allowed to type sm_mutecheck and it'll display who has muted you. Admins with the flag ADMFLAG_GENERIC can also type sm_mutecheck [target] to check who's muted the specific target. The admin flag can be overridden with the override below.

Commands:
sm_mutecheck - responds with who has muted you
sm_mutecheck [target] - responds with who has muted the target

Cvars:
sm_mutecheck_tag "[SM]" - allows you to change the tag prepended to Mutecheck responses
sm_mutecheck_version - plugin version
sm_mutecheck_auto_update "1" - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed)

Installation:
Put mutecheck.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load mutecheck" into your console or rcon.

Overrides:
sm_mutecheck_override - Add this to your overrides to change the flag required to check the mutes for a specific target

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be autoupdated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Changelog:

• v1.9.0 (7/12/12)
  • Added ability to disable automatic updating (sm_mutecheck_auto_update)
• v1.8.0 (7/9/12)
  • Added support for group targeting

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

this could be useful :)

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

An option to know all players / a team if they muted you could be nice too (i.e. you display only those who muted you).

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

I'm sorry, I don't fully understand what you were saying. Could you rephrase it please? :)

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Sorry kind-of tired.

You could add the following options :

• A command that allows to know which players muted the admin.
• A command that allows to know which players of a team muted the admin.

i.e. :

sm_mutecheckteam t --> "Bob, Jack and Dick muted you."

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Well, the plugin already shows which players muted you. sm_mutecheck returns a list of all players who muted you (and sm_mutecheck [target] returns a list of all players who muted [target]). Are you saying something like sm_mutecheckteam red to return a list of all RED players who muted you?

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

wtf I read too quickly... nevermind me...

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Lol, it's okay. Happens to me all the time. :P

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Nice idea. Some notes:
The boolean tag is lowercase in sourcepawn. "bool:" instead of "Bool:".
When using #tryinclude, make sure to mark the autoupdate natives as optional in askpluginload2 to have the plugin compile if the include fails.

You don't want those group targeting features?
Consider using FindTarget to allow a single target only.

For performance reasons, don't declare new variables in a loop, but do it beforehand.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Thanks for the help! As you can probably tell, I'm just learning SourcePawn. :)

I've updated it with the stuff you said.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

if there are xx players on the servers and xx players have muted 1 particular person then mute the person for the other players too.. might be a idea.. (but maybe too much for now)

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

That's another plugin in and of itself, but it could be done relatively easily. Just a question though, why exactly do you want that? The few that haven't muted said player might want to hear what he or she is saying. The ones that have muted aren't going to hear them either way.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Well if somebody is spamming the mic, if you suddenly have 5 people muting a person that usually is a dead giveaway that he is spamming. But like you said it would be another plugin then, but hey it was just a suggestion :)

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Updated. The version cvar now has an "A" appended to it if autoupdate is functioning.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Updated. Now uses the newer, better supported Updater, added sm_mutecheck_tag to change the tag prepended to Mutecheck responses, and typing sm_mutecheck in the console without any parameters now return a usage message.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Updated to 1.7.0. Fixed an issue where the plugin wouldn't be added to the Updater pool. If you are running Updater and you want to automatically update, simply execute "sm plugins reload mutecheck" followed by "sm_mutecheck_forceupdate" in the console/rcon.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Firstly, is there any particular reason for disallowing the group targetting (eg @all, etc)? It could be really useful to see, at a glance, who is muted by who. If you just feel it's too much work, this plugin by necavi makes the process REALLY simple.

Secondly, any chance you could add an option for what flag someone needs to use sm_mutecheck itself? I don't want non-admins to have access, because seeing other people have muted them may cause unneeded drama. But it's a great admin tool

edit: i managed to edit and recompile the plugin to fix the second issue I brought up. Would love to see that and/or the targetting thing in the official copy as well so I could let it autoupdate.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

There's no need to edit and recompile a plugin to change the flag required to use a command. Just override it in configs/admin_overrides.cfg.

I can edit it and add group targeting when I get home. The way it's written, it'd spam the chat, but I can make group targeting commands print to the console, similar to sm_who.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

That's the first thing I did, actually; however, for whatever reason, non-admins were still able to use the command. I've got a few other commands like that in the overrides file, and it worked fine on those. The only other example I can think of where it didn't work was the "Who's Free" plugin that lists everyone's Premium/F2P status. Maybe it's got something to do with argless commands?
Sounds great!

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Ohh. I seem to recall reading that overriding console commands (RegConsoleCmd) doesn't work. I'll turn it into a public admin command.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Ah, neat! Glad to know I wasn't being a dumbhead :v

Regarding that list-all feature, any chance you'd add a way to list only those who've been muted by at least X people? It'd make the list smaller, more manageable, and far more useful "at a glance". These are the two methods I thought of, for what it's worth:

1. Basic approach: add one new command which lists anyone with 1 or more mutes (those without are pretty pointless in this case).
   
   
2. Fancy and flexible approach: add a new cvar (sm_mutelist_threshhold? sm_listmutes_min?) would allow admins to specify a default other than 1. A new command (sm_mutelist? sm_listmutes? sm_mutecheck_list?), or tweak to the original one, for the actual listing, allowing an int argument to override the default set by the aforementioned cvar.

Thanks for being so quick to respond and for taking my requests/ideas into account!

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Sorry this took so long, I completely forgot about it. :oops:

Version 1.7.2 is going live in just a moment. Only change is sm_mutecheck can now be overridden.

Group targeting is coming soon.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

That's great to hear, thanks! :)

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Any updates on this, by any chance?

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

One last bump? D:

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

This has been pretty low on my list of things to do, since I have real life stuff and paid work and such. I'll see what I can get done later today, though.

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Plugin updated to v1.8.0. Changelog:

• Added support for group targeting
• Optimized message output

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Updated to v1.9.0. Added ability to disable automatic updating (sm_mutecheck_auto_update).

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

Awesome, thanks a bunch! I didn't expect you to take time out of paid projects and the like, but I didn't want it to get forgotten about, either :v

Re: [ANY] MuteCheck
 

An idea/suggestion that would make this plugin awesome:)

Add the ability to set a threshold and if a player has X amount of mutes against him the server will auto-mute him.

I know it would mean more automated queries in the back end per user vs looking up a single user a will, but just a thought.

[ANY] MuteCheck
 

That would be better in a separate plugin.
