[REQ] simple player rename for tf2

halbblah · **Author**

Hello!

in TF2 the playername is derived from the steam-friends-list. But temporary renaming is possible by typing "setinfo name MyNewName" in console.

it seems not to be possible to rename the players that way with Eventscripts, because Valve restricted the command.

the plugin just would have to check if the executing user is an admin and would take 2 parameters - the steamid of the targeting player and the new name

Is it possible to do this with sourcemod ? if so, would anyone write this little plugin ? would be awesome

It's built into sourcemod

sm_rename

oh nice! thanks! at first it said "unknown command". I searched in the documentation and found that the playercommands plugin has to be installed. It still didn't work till I installed the newest SM version.

unfortunatly now the command is recognized but still not working correctly:

Quote:

sm_rename STEAM_0:0:123456 testname
[SM] No matching client was found.

even when I enclose both parameters with quotes...

I tried to rename myself via server console. I am an admin, are they immune ? is that the problem ? if so, is there any way to override this ?

I thought it's

PHP Code:


			
sm_rename <#id|name> <newname>

not with steamid?

when the userid is the number that you get with "status", than no - doesn't work. Neither with quotes nor without :/

If using a userid, instead of a name, you must prefix the userid with # as shown in the command description.

PHP Code:


			
sm_rename <#id|name> <newname> 

sm_rename #2 "test"

In L4D2, It still can't work with "sm_rename #2 MyNewName"

I found the issue and am filing a bug report with fix now.

Edit: apparently a bug report already exists for it and has the fix listed that I found. Could have saved myself some time
