TimeLeft Extender (last round mapchange block)

TimeLeft Extender 1.2

A few words before:
I know there are a few plugins "on the market" which do exactly the same, but I thought I'd write a more flexible plugin. Where you can choose the chattime etc.
I also missed the timeleft announcement since it was only displaying "No Time Limit" when those plugins blocked the map change.
These plugins were also missing the language choosing aspect.
The name for this plugin was created when the first idea came up with increasing the time limit. I dropped that idea and kept the name.

Purpose:
This plugin removes the timelimit amx_tle_catchat seconds before mapchange and makes the round end
after the current round, delaying the change for amx_tle_chattime seconds.
When mapchange is blocked, typing timeleft displays that the current round is the last and prevents
showing "No Time Limit" IF you put the plugin BEFORE timeleft.amxx in plugins.ini!

CVars:

Code:

amx_tle_enabled [1]/0   // Controls wether the plugin is enabled or not. (default 1)

amx_tle_usehud [1]/0    // Controls wether to use HUD message announcement or not. (default 1)

amx_tle_chattime [7]    // Controls the time people have to chat before actual change occurs. (default 7)

amx_tle_catchat [5]     // Controls at which second of timeleft the plugin should

                        //   catch the mapchange and block it. (default 5)

amx_tle_textcolor 0-[2] // Sets the color of the "This is the last round" message.

                        //  0 = Normal chat color

                        //  1 = Team color (CT: blue, T: red)

                        //  2 = Green

Commands:

Code:

amx_changenow // Changes map immediatley to current amx_nextmap

say changenow // Changes map immediatley to current amx_nextmap

say timeleft  // If the plugin blocked the mapchange, saying timeleft will

              //   display "This is the last round." in the users language.

Installation:

Method 1:

Download the .rar file and extract it into your amxmodx directory. (Answer 'yes' when asked for replacing)
Add TimeLeftExtender.amxx before timeleft.amxx in your plugins.ini

Method 2:

Download the .amxx file and put it into your amxmodx/plugins directory.
Add TimeLeftExtender.amxx before timeleft.amxx in your plugins.ini
Download the .txt file and put it into your amxmodx/data/lang folder.

Your plugins.ini file should look something like this:

Code:

[...]

; Map related

nextmap.amxx          ; displays next map in mapcycle

mapchooser.amxx       ; allows to vote for next map



TimeLeftExtender.amxx ; << needs to be in front of timeleft.amxx to

                      ; block it from displaying "No Time Limit"!!

timeleft.amxx         ; displays time left on map

[...]

I also suggest setting amx_time_display to something like this:

Code:

amx_time_display "ab 1200" "ab 600" "ab 300" "ab 180" "ab 60"

Because announcing the last 10 seconds or so isnt that useful since the round has an undefined ending.

The first chat message (the green one) comes from the blocking, the following is the answer to "say timeleft".

Currently there are only [en] and [de] translations in the .txt file.
I welcome any further translations and will add them.
You would need to translate this into your language:

Code:

[en]

ADMIN_CHANGENOW_2 = ADMIN %s: Change to nextmap (%s) now.

ADMIN_CHANGENOW_1 = ADMIN: Change to nextmap (%s) now.

LAST_ROUND = This is the last round
