Steam Friends Highlighter

description

When a steam friend of your joins or leaves the server it displays a chat message to you and, it brings a command that makes you able to visually highlight your friends (applying a transparency gradient). You also can use it as spectator. An example of usage is when you are in the spawn and want to go play together with a friend of yours.

command

+steam (highlights your steam friends)

cvars

steamHighlight_speed 3 (the highlight effect speed)
steamHighlight_min_trans 100 (the minim transparency amount the effect has)

modules

regex
modified sockets_hz (included in the zip)

To use this plugin you need a modified version of hackziner sockets modules that ships in the zip file. The reason to that is that the function socket_open performs a operation in a blocking way so it makes the server break so, I needed to change it a little bit. It should not affect your server performance at all.

Thanks to Arkshine and stupok for testing it with me

Note: The profile of both friends needs to be in the "Public" view mode
