[PPB] Pharse's Player Balancer

Comment:
This plugin is a team balancing tool which focuses on each player instead of a whole team. Thus less frustration compared to other non-player-switching balancers and a dynamic adaptation is guaranteed. According to the motto "encouraging instead of spoiling" it supports players in the losing team and players with a bad kill-death-ratio.

I tested it on our CS1.6 server running AMXModX v1.8.0.3 and mp_autoteambalance enabled. Though I see no reason why it shouldn't be used with other player-switching plugins like PTB.


Since this plugin should get the initial damage, I recommend to put it before all other custom plugins in the plugins.ini

Installation:

1. Download ppb.sma and put it in the following folder: addons\amxmodx\scripting
2. Open ppb.sma with compile.exe (should be in the same folder). Alternatively drag knife_blink.sma on compile.exe
3. Copy ppb.amxx from addons\amxmodx\scripting\compiled and paste it into addons\amxmodx\plugins
4. Go to the following folder: addons\amxmodx\configs ; and open plugins.ini
5. Scroll down to the end of the file and add there the following line: ppb.amxx ; save and close plugins.ini
6. You can add your custom CVars in amxx.cfg located in addons\amxmodx\configs
7. Restart your server or change the map.

Tested and compiled with AMX Mod X v1.8.0

    Description:
        
        This plugin tries to help balancing the teams by focusing on each player.
        It changes the damage a player takes and deals depending on his/her rounds in the losing team and on the kill/death ratio.
        The players will be informed that they deal more / take less damage, however they may not know the exact values.
