Steam Announce
A simple plugin that prints the player name and steam id only to chat for all to see. It is useful for cheaters (getting their Steam ID before they start name changing) and/or rule breakers (who leave).

This is similar to Connect Annouce and the like except this is stripped right down for just the player name and their steam id.

This is my first self coded plugin and am new to sourcepawn, so will take any advice and criticisms. I thought with the influx of cheaters lately that use name changers etc., a lightweight plugin liek this could come in handy.

Installation
steamannounce.sp -> addons/sourcemod/scripting
steamannounce.smx -> addons/sourcemod/plugins

Requires no restart, just type in to console

rcon sm plugins load steamannounce

CVars
Just one;

sm_steam_announce_version

This will just show the version, 1.0.


Example
[CON] Rizla : STEAM_0:1:23866547 (for when I connect)

[DC] Rizla : STEAM_0:1:23866547 (for when I disconnect)

Changelog
1.0
Initial release

1.1
Stopped bots being shown, removed some unneeded code
(minor) fixed missing chars and another small fix (x 2 )

I doubt this will ever need updating for bug fixes etc. (unless ive made an error), but i will try to provide any support required.

Tested in Counter-Strike Source, don't see any reason it wouldn't work in other source based games (correct me if im wrong)

More than welcome to use the code, edit it and so on and so forth.

I thought that many plugins have these functions?

its stripped right down so its light weight, many plugins might have it, but if you read:

Wonderfull job, Looking for such a thing for awhile now.

Does this plugin not show BOTS that rejoin and disconnect. Becos that would be wonderfull.

I had a diffrent plugin and eachtime a bot joined in again there was, BOT joinend the server Country ?

[Rizla]

bots are ignored (or should be)

Simplistic and nice. However, OnClientPostAdminCheck is called each and every map change for every client. So there can be some flooding with that. What I've thought about doing is hooking player_connect since it's only fired once for the initial connection and then never again until disconnection (regardless of map change). Then calling if the client index is in the array, or something.

i thought there would be something like this, however:

1. im not good enough otherwise i would, maybe set it to an option (see 2)
2. if an admin were to join after, then the steam id wouldnt be shown (in the case of a hacker, thats no good)

ill look in to doing it though and setting as an option, unless someone else wants a go?

PHP Code:

    new server = 0;
    if (!client || client == 0 || client == server || !(client > 0 && client <= MaxClients) || (IsClientConnected(client) && IsFakeClient(client)))
    {
        return Plugin_Continue;
    }

im assuming thats not needed on a OnClient admin thingy (w/e i used)?

Bot ar shown when they enter the server.

Any change this can be deleted out of the plugin. If not no problem.
