If the sky is invalid they may cause server crash:(.

Then, check if sky is a default sky, or if files exist.

There is something to optimize?

Re: Effect Day/Night V1.2

Code:

                        num_str_sky = "1"

                        g_lights_level = "a"

This is a poor way to copy a string. Please use the copy native.

Code:

                case 0..4: {

                        num_str_sky = "1"

                        g_lights_level = "a"

                }

//....

                case 23: {

                        num_str_sky = "1"

                        g_lights_level = "a"

                }

This can be shortened to:

Code:

                case 0..4,23: {

                        num_str_sky = "1"

                        g_lights_level = "a"

                }

Instead of doing this:

Code:

                                g_skyname[0] = ' '

                                g_skyname[1] = ' '

                                trim(g_skyname)

Look into: String Slicing.

The function set_effect does not need to be public.

Should use log_amx instead of log_to_file.

Instead of using a variable sky_load on line 122, you could simply check if g_skyname is empty or not.

You could also attempt to move the functions load_sky and set_effect into plugin_precache, assuming that you can alter sv_skyname and use set_lights during that time, instead of during plugin_init.

You use charsmax in several spots, would be better if you used it throughout the plugin.

Also work on your whitespace. People prefer lines like this:

Code:

if(!file_exists(file)){

to look like this:

Code:

if ( !file_exists( file ) )

{

Though that is stylistic.

Suggestions:
Have the plugin check every hour for what sky should be present. (Some servers remain on a map for longer than an hour)
Allow the skys.ini to specify a sky for certain hours, and not your 1 to 6 method.
Also allow skys.ini to specify a light level for the matching sky.
I would personally rename the plugin something along the lines of "hourly", "skys" and "lights".

Re: Effect Day/Night V1.3

i see a fault in the idea of this plugin... You probably have people from different time zones that play in your server :twisted:

Re: Day/Night Effect V1.3

^ Go to your cstrike/gfx/env folder, all skies are in there. Each sky has 6 images, one for each side of the box, with different 2-letter suffixes. When typing the sky name, ignore these suffixes. E.g: for backalleybk.tga, backalleydn.tga, backalleyft.tga (...), the name is backalley.

Re: Day/Night Effect V1.3

Can we also use:

sky_name: off

So it will use the maps itself sky?

Re: Day/Night Effect V1.3

apparently, it's using the time of the machine where the server (HLDS) is hosted. if it's not working for you.. maybe the new updates disabled something or the problem is in your server versions and installed plugins.

Re: Day/Night Effect V1.3

Here's a video demoing this very cool plugin. Set the night effect not too dark. hours past by the seconds only so as to show the day to night effect much faster.

Re: Day/Night Effect V1.3

This plugin does not have it from what I can see. Night can be permanent in other plugins. Element is one.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 09:13.
