Hi,
this is a question for advanced programmers,
this is actually meant for a RTCW(Return to Castle Wolfenstein) mod, there are many people that use a Hex progam to change the mod's name into theirs(Also called Modstealing).

So i made a Proof Of Concept of how to protect a name(string)...

Code:
#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init()
 
{
 register_plugin("Name Check","1.0","dutchmeat")
}
 
new alfabet[][0] = { "a", "b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"}
 
//new alfabet[][] = { "a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"}
//         0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25  26
public function(){
new name[10] = "dutchmeat";
new number;
for (new i=0; i<8; i++) {
 for (new j = 0; j < 26; j++) {
  if (name[i] == alfabet[j][0])
   number = number + j;
 }
}
if (number != 86) //The perfect name check !?!
 return;   //return if the name is correct
console_print(id,"The name is incorrect...")
}

// D u t c h m e a t
// 3 20 19 2 7 12 13 0 19 = 86
//This should check if all the characters match, if they do, they copy the 'alfabet' number into the var 'number',
//If number matches '86', the string should be 'dutchmeat'
