Server Hop

About

Server Hop allows players to easily hop between servers you specify. There are other plugins that do this, but this one provides live server info and does not require anything other than the Socket extension (see below). The plugin refreshes server info every minute. Servers that are unreachable will be omitted from the menu until they are reachable again. By default, servers will be advertised to the players every minute.

For who

If you are a server admin with multiple servers under your wing and want your players to be aware of all of them and able to easily hop between them then this is the plugin for you This plugin was developed for usage on TF2 servers but is known to work on CSS and L4D servers as well.

Usage

The plugin is activated by typing "!hop" or "!servers". The player will get a menu with the servers you configured, and for each displays the servername, mapname and number of active players and number of maximum players. By pressing the number of the desired server and then confirming by pressing F3 (default) the player will automatically join the server in question. If the default F3 key doesn't work for you or you want to bind another key, type this in console:

bind "F3" "askconnect_accept"
