Re: Advance Restart

donno if it´s just me, but i´ve seen _restart failing lot of times (crashing to dead).
i still don´t think there´s any proper way to do a "failsafe" restart from within the game (exept "shutdown" on L4D maybe).

ty anyway, idea is good and might work for most!

Re: Advance Restart

I couldn't find any but if anyone knows please tell me and i will update my plug-in.

Re: Advance Restart

hmm.. good if u can make it at Hint Area instead or Center

Re: Advance Restart

yea, i was planning on making it do center say, chat say and hint say and then i will give options to allow you to choose. im also thinking of giving the choice of how many times it says in chat so they can choose if they want to spam chat out with "server restart" or not.

Re: Advance Restart

sorry for previous post. what i meant was it'll be great if you can make it display at Hint Area instead of Center. cos Center is too small to read. :)

Re: Advance Restart

You need to fill out the plugin description, version and public cvar fields for plugins to be approved.

Re: Advance Restart

-Sky I've updated it so you can choose how you want it to be displayed.

is that what you meant?

Re: Advance Restart

absolutely.. nice work! best plug-in I've got! :)

Re: Advance Restart

You should merge the cvars into one, I.e.

sm_advrest_message #
1 (hint text only)
2 (chat text only)
4 (center text only)
5 (center + hint)
6 (center + chat)
7 (all 3)
3 (hint + chat)
ect
