Well I did... it was coded by "Ptahhotep's"...
Converted to AMXmod by OLO, updated to CS 1.6 (as you can see from the link in second post) and small adaption to AMXmodX by me...

Don't think OLO did too many changes to the original code and OLO never published it as his, ie being the author... so as far as I know this is Ptahhotep's... But I will make clearify it...

For the second part: I will look into making a new version including both get_customdir and JGHG's team switch, but as a lot of people had problem with previous PTB published (which you guys approved!??) I wanted to publish this one as it works and has been working for quite a long time for AMXmod.

And has been not switching people for quite a long time too on AMX... this urgently needs to be fixed in a reliable way.

One other thing i'd like to see added from the Djeyl forum thread is the modification which allowed admin to be immune to switch and autojoin, this allowed to easily have admins in both team to supervise things.

What do you mean it "has been not switching people"??? If you say it doesn't switch players then you have configured your system wrong!! If you say it sometimes doesn't then write it and not that it doesn't work!!!

Also "urgently" is a relative word. On my list this is not on the top of the "urgently" list as no one reported it on our servers (so it probably happens very rarely), but I suppose this depend on configuration and how often your players are switching team manually!

The only reason for this bug, what I have found, is that the problem occurs when people already switched team once in round or has joined in the round and are therefore not allowed to switch again due to hlds limit.

A way to fix it could be with JGHG proposal using the new AMXmodX feature but it need to be tested quite a lot before release to make sure the player skin and all that is switched correctly. You are more than welcome to add it but I won't release it until I know it works as good as possible (based on hlds and AMXmodX limitations).

it would be sweet if JGHG's solution could be implemented into this plugin
