Required Modules:

Cstrike - Only for CS/CZ version

Fakemeta
- Hamsandwich
Compiling options:
In version 1.5.0 I introduced a method that removes the annoying splitting process of the plugin to run on both CS/CZ and all other mods.
#define TYPE 0
TYPE compiling options explaning:
0 = With everything (Some features runs only in CS/CZ)
1 = For any mod without CS/CZ features added
2 = For CS/CZ with the added features
- Added features, that only works for CS/CZ, are: buyzone, buytime, replacing.
#define DEBUG 0 // 0 = No debugging tools, 1 = Debugging tools available (deletes and recreates a new multi language file on each map start)
If you set DEBUG to 1 then a command can be used by everyone to help finding bugs in the plugin by showing a hud with all the plugins settings.
Command for the hud:
amx_flare_debug - first time activates it and second deactivates it for the user.
#define UPDATELIST 1 // 0 = No error/request commands, 1 = You can use a command to report to the server a request or bug description for the plugin flares.
By using the following commands, you can log your request and/or bug you find to the server's log file for the plugin.
Commands:
amx_flare_request description of request - used for submitting a request to the server regarding the Flares.amx_flare_bug description of bug - used for submitting a bug report to the server regarding the Flares.
Cvars:
flare_updatelist_status - (default = 1) - 1 = both commands can be used, 0 = they can't.
flare_updatelist_adminrights - (default = 1) - Only admin can use the commands for bug report and request.
Known Bugs:
- None I know of (yet).

Recommended:
You can download the plugin compiled, but if you were going to only use it for any mod buy CS/CZ you would get unnessersary things you can't use anyways, therefore download the .sma file and compile it locally after changing the compiling options in the top of the file.
If you don't use it for CS/CZ then there won't be any reasons to download the hand model of the flare.
Since alot of people don't download the language file its created by default now, so only download the language file if you want to submit a translation.
Installation guide:
The zip folder Flares.zip is ready to be unpacked into the mod you want to use the plugin with.
Flares.sma is set up to be compiled with all options but debug tools.
Flares.txt is the multi-language file, though it is created automatically, so no need to download it for anything but translating it.
The zip folder HandModel.zip is the hand model of a flare for CS/CZ version of the plugin.
