    register_concmd("rules_show", "rules", ADMIN_ADMIN, " show rules")

to

    register_concmd("rules_show", "rules", 0, " show rules")

And. Maybe add a /showrules

...Its admin only . Or was it suppose to be like that/

is there really a difference?

Good Idea, I'll do that when I post next version with few minor updates (not too big, I attent to keep this small)

[n0obie4life]

cause i never really heard of a thing called ADMIN_ADMIN xD. I'm stupid. Pardon me.

I thought 0 would be nicer.

Don't put the "0" in. Use one of the constants, such as "ADMIN_ADMIN", like you've done.

This is something like the imessage? Nice, I could use it.

Could you:

- make it public (/showrules, like noobie proposed)

- if public, limit the maximum times it's displayed via a cvar (to avoid spam, f.e. once per minute max.)

( sorry dublicate, read next post )

I found one major bug in version 1.0 and now it's fixed. However, there is few things what I must change in this plugin before I can recommend anyone to download this plugin...

This is not necessary. Why? because when normal user uses "say /rules" rules will be shown ONLY to him, only admins can use "rules_show" command which shows to everybody

My intention was to give ppl the chance, to point the rules out to the others (which maybe avoiding them). This assumes, that the displayed rules are visible for everyone.

Good point, but thats why there is a automatic "rules" display.
Allowing normal users to show other is a good idea but then I have to add "flood protection" and I'm not yet sure if I add it to plugin or not. I will be adding it possibly afterwards. Another objective to me is to keep the code small and fast as possible, and this is my first plugin if you didn't notice

So I'm gonna learn some new stuff before I start to add new stuff to the plugin, after this post I'm gonna post 3. version of plugin today, and it should be fully operational and bug free.

ps. pl2004 thank you for pointing out possible improvements so early. Suggestions and bug reports, etc. are always welcome.
