I searched and I didn't see that this was done before, so I decided to post it.

I'll be honest, it's my first plugin. I had a lot of help from Shuriken (listed in Author) although I did do some of it. Anyway, what it does:

The Purpose:
The purpose of this plugin is fairly simple... its purpose is to relay messages from an in-game admin with ADMIN_CHAT privileges (access i) to the server console, where it will be said as if it was typed into the server console.

Installation:
If you downloaded the .amxx file, copy it to your /mod/addons/amxmodx/plugins/ folder, and add ServerSay.amxx to the bottom of the plugins.ini (/mod/addons/amxmodx/configs/).
If you downloaded the .sma file, compile it in the scripting folder, then follow the directions for an .amxx file.

Usage:
There's not a large and obvious purpose to this plugin... although it seems a message delivered through the server console is noticed more than a regular message. It works for any mod... there's only one command though.
amx_serversay <message>
Will display the message as:
<Server Name> <message>

Example:
amx_serversay Welcome to the server.
Will display to the people in the server as:
<Server Name> Welcome to the server.

Lots of documentation for a tiny plugin.

Stats:
27 lines of code
2 hours of work (learning too, first plugin of mine)
Uses ADMIN_CHAT access.

If you don't like it, sorry. I tried, I just felt I might as well post it.

Update (12/29/2005):
Wow, it got approved! It probably did a while ago, I just never noticed. Anyway, I updated Serversay since it got approved... if the message to the console contains a semi-colon it displays only what is to the left of the semi-colon AND slaps the player for 25 damage.

Update(12/29/2005) (Yes, two in one day):
I just finished enabling the ability to define servername by Cvar (as requested by Hawk552). The cvar is amx_serversay_display, and if it's not EXACTLY 0, it displays the CVAR as the name.

could be useful but an admin could just download kontrol and if they know the rcon they could do it through kontrol

amx_rcon say (BLA BLA)
rcon say (BLA BLA)

[Hawk552]

Not too bad, it would be better if you could define what the server's name would be while talking. Maybe based on a cvar?

[Jordan44053]

amx_rcon say (BLA BLA) rcon say (BLA BLA)

I am aware of that. However, this is simpler and it doesn't require ADMIN_RCON to perform it.

Do you mean change what the name appears as, aside from the actual server's name? The intention was to just make it simpler than switching to the server console (or using a seperate program), but also not requiring you to give out ADMIN_RCON to someone.

[Hawk552]

Yeah but my server's hostname is really long. Basically what I was wondering is if the cvar is defined as something, use it. If not, then just make it a server say.

It's just really hard to see the server say messages in my server. So much chat spam and stuff.

any admin can now do
amx_serversay *************
and it would say hello then it would run whatever command they have.

**Edited for admin abuser perposes

[Jordan44053]

And some admins may not have known that, but since you posted it... (not being rude, just pointing it out)

[Xanimos]

Just letting you know....and I fixed it.

[Jordan44053]

Okay, well... thanks.

Edit:
Well, I finally got around to fixing that.
