Reply With Quote #1

Hello, I am currently using a donator plugin for TF2 that is weak on the amount of features included. Because of this, not many people are interested in donating. It currently only allows me to set lowered gravity, and a randomized player model color on donators. The reason I use it is because it allows me to add new donators from the SM admin menu in-game, and set different donator ranks that allow higher rated users access to more features.

Now I would like to change plugins. I would prefer one that allows me to set/remove donators from in game, but if this can't be accomplished, I'm okay with editing a config.

Below is a list of features I would like the plugin to have.

-Donor adding/removing from the SM menu
-Donator ranks
-Donantor menu for toggling/changing available settings that can be accessed by typing "!donator" (eg, chat colors/gravity on and off)
-"Donator" tags in front of names and chat text colors
-Gravity modifier
-Player Model Colors
-Anything else that would be appealing

If anyone already uses or can find one like this, I would greatly appreciate a link!

Thanks!

umm not to go off topic but lookin at your group you really should get a server that doesn't change IP#'s once a month. That kills your traffic let alone donators. I see you are hosting it on a Verizon's FIOS - and since the IP# is changing you are likely on a home/residential connection which means you are violating their Terms of Use and can get your internet cut off if its even yours to begin with and not say parents or whatever.

right from their Terms of Use form.... I highly suggest you rent a real server from a real provider before you get caught and you will as I know people that have been. --- OR you can upgrade to a FIOS business account and do whatever.

I've already upgraded to their "Pro" Internet package a few weeks ago. I just forgot to remove this from the group page. Though it sounded hostile, thank you for informing me that it is still listed...

So about the donator plugin...

Well "Pro" is still residential and still violating their Terms of Service just saying... and there was nothing hostile about that post I'm just informing you of possible reasons why you are having issues with donators and most likely player count while also mentioning how Verizon FIOS works with regards to their policies.

As for the plugin well you are first off asking in the wrong place - use the suggestions sub- forum. I suggest Sourcebans, easy to add/remove people from it, assign flags as needed and all those other features you asked for are already available in other plugins just gotta search a little for them - at which you can assign flag permissions for access.

I still however think you should really fix your existing problem with how the server is setup before you get your net turned off and as I said I know of it happening to FIOS customers here lately.

Ohh and I don't need to see anything listed on your profile saying FIOS - a simple tracert of the game server IP# is enough.

I will try source bans. As for the provider problems, the package I signed up for allows for one open IP address. The only reason I changed was because of the changing IP address issue. I am not having that problem anymore after upgrading. Thanks for the information though, I did not know it was against the rules to host over FIOS without upgrading to the business package (I believe that is what I am on, but I will ask them in the future).

Thanks for the help!
