[TF2] Enhanced Item Notifications

v1.1.0

Description:
Combines multiple item notifications for the same item into one. Anyone who runs or has been on a trade server knows the pain:



With this plugin, this becomes:



Parses and uses the game's localization files, so it's fully localized and future-proof (barring any big Valve changes such as a new acquisition method, which will simply display as "has found" until an update is released) and there aren't any translation files to keep track of.

Cvars:
enhanced_items_version - plugin version
enhanced_items_auto_update (default 1) - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed)

Installation:
Put enhanced_items.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load enhanced_items" into your console or rcon. Drag, drop, and forget. There's nothing to configure.

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be auto-updated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Changelog:

• v1.1.0 (7/26/15)
  • Fixed unicode issues in names with special characters
  • Painted weapons are now ignored and use the default game messages
  • Plugin now only intercepts and rewrites methods which can contain multiple items of the same type
• v1.0.0 (11/2/14)
  • Initial release

I love this kind of plugins, this is simple, awesome and future-proof. It's one of those plugins that will never leave my servers, thanks!

Would it be possible to include the crate series # in the notification?

No, the item_found event only gives a defindex. It doesn't give any attributes.
