Admin Screen 2
 

Description:
Admin Screen was originally written by Rav for AMX Mod, and can be found here.

It forces the client to take a screenshot. This can be useful for a few reasons. People I know use this plugin to check for cheaters. On suspicion, they amx_screen the client and ban them. They tell them to post the screens on their site to be unbanned (granted they're clean).

Admin Screen 2 is different from Admin Screen because the original didn't allow you to specify the amount of screenshots to be taken. This one does. This one also uses a hud message and a client_print timestamp, instead of just client_print.

Commands:
amx_screen <authid, nick or #userid> <# of screens>

CVARs:
amx_maxscreens - Default 10 (How many screens are the admins allowed to take?)
amx_ssinterval - Default 1.0 (How much time between each screenshot?)
amx_timestamptype - Default 3 (0 = Off / 1 = client_print only / 2 = HUD message only / 3 = Both)

thanks

Re: Admin Screen 2
 

So it forces the client to take a screenshot and save it to their own computer?

Re: Admin Screen 2
 

It uses the snapshot command, so yes. You could take a screenshot of it yourself, but you wouldn't be able to see their cheats ;)

There is a bug.

When I use "amx_screen user 5" command It seems that all players take a screenshot.

I've asked to another admins and a player. They found 5 screenshots in their folder.

Re: Admin Screen 2
 

I made something like this but abandoned it for a few reasons.

1 - Some cheats totaly block the screenshot and snapshot commands
2 - Others 'hide' and turn everything off when the screenshot\snapshop cmd is used
3 - If you really think someone might be using cheats flag them with serverbuddy and IF they send in their scan it will tell you more then you could ever get out of a screenshot

Fixed the bug thanks to help from GHW_Chronic. I also added a new CVAR for the timestamp type.

fear i use amx_screen, and the way i use it is completely differant. You screen someone, then ban them, then if they want to be unbanned, they must show me the screenshots i took on them, if they dont, then baibai

nice work jigga, i'll try this version out :)

This is unrelated to this topic--but I'd like to say that your signature messed w/my head. That picture of birds flying around--well I thought flies or bugs were crawling on my laptop screen and I started hitting the screen and smacking it and --well-- yeah...

Just thought I'd share that.


GJ nice plugin. :)

You have 3 required command arguments (including zero argument - an actual command) so you should specify 3 when executing a cmd_access.

You should use a bitwise operators (http://wiki.amxmodx.org/index.php/Pawn_Tutorial) when checking for timestamp type. That will allow to not repeat the exact same block of code twice.
