hi,
i don't know anything about coding,so i was just wonder,if its possible to make a plugin with list that will go to addons/sourcemode/configs (help_menu.txt)
so you would be able to customize it

i mean i'm using few plugins that needs to type
!tankbuster
!zinfo
/laser
/usepoints etc..
so i was wonder if this plugin when u would type !help or /help ,will show u all those things that u can type,because most new players don't know how to use points etc..
maybe have some massage showing like every 2 min saying [sm] type/help for help or something like that

It can be done. But you better just those plugins' authors to include help features.

A good example is "KrX upgrades" or "Damage Info Display", which provide enough help on available commands.

Well, thanx. Try to use 1.6.7, i finally done the compatibility part, now it wont screw Adrenaline Boost upgrade, also fixed some minor mistakes (make sure you use at least 1.1.4 Upgrades version).

hi olj , i'm using 1.6.8 ,nice job
yea i was kinda thinking about what you said, that contacting the plugin authors,but i think it will be mostly impossible, because they probably geting like 100 PM's every day and i was also thinking if every plugin had that info as KrX the chat would be flatered,and you wouldn't be able to see if somone is writing something
idk if you will read this olj ,but i have seen you kinda looking into these ideas so i hope you will ,
i will pay you some reasonable amount if u will be able to make it , i have no idea how hard would be to make that plugin,but if u said it can be done i will take your word,because it seem you definetely know what you talking about
so if you are interested make that plugin for me for some $ PM me
Thanks.

Well, thanx again, the problem with this i can think of - where to put all these messages? It would be kinda spammy for chat, hint text is bad variant also, console isnt that convenient for players. And i dont know how to create something like message window.

I can take a quick learn on how to get strings from files, never worked with it before, but the problem with outputting the text is kinda tricky (not a big deal if you dont have too much text to output though).

i was thinking something the text will pop out same as when you type sm_admin, or!tankbuster
you know when player will type !help or /help in chat it will bring him same menu as when you type sm_admin , only with text of those lines you put in there:
example
Code:
1.!tankbuster
2.!zinfo
3.rank
4.top10
5./laser
6./ammotype
7./upghelp
8.!usepoints
9.next
0.exit
and have just one chat line to be pop out like every 5 min or on round start
example:
type /help for help
you know what i mean..(i know my english is mess ).. and make some textfile which would be put into addons/sourcemode/configs so the server owner or admins would be able to customize it
as i said i have no idea how to code and if it should be headache just forget about it,don't want to give you headache so you would have to grab pills and might die from overdose
i know its probably not understandable mess i have that idea in the head,but its kinda hard to translate it out
well thanks for answering anyway man
