Custom Player Taglines
Version 0.5

Description
A tagline is a line of text that is displayed when a user connects. It can be defined by each individual user. Currently the script is configured to let anyone with reserved access to the server to make a tag. This can be changed by a simple tweak of the access level.

This plugin supports both SQLx and FILE usage.

Origional idea from the TGNS server.

Be sure to
- Enable in your amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini file!!
- Modify your /configs/sql.cfg file if you plan on using SQL!!
- Create the taglines.ini file in your /configs folder!!
- Place the library file in your amxmodx/data/lang folder!!


Commands
- amx_tag <your tag> Sets your tagline ( Note that the tagline should be "in quotes")
- amx_tagon 0/1 Toggles the display of your tagline

To do
- Nothing now.

This script was confirmed working with the following:

Anyone care to comment or make suggestions?

Suggestions.

1) Use the ML capabilities of AMXX instead of hardcoding all your text.
2) Add an option to use a text file instead of SQL.
3) Instead of utilizing client_authorized, use client_putinserver as it happens later.

Very nice idea. I'm not sure yet if I should use this plugin (for admins only) since fakenicking while recording demos of suspicious players will become impossible.

Brad, ML = Multi Language? I'm not fluent in any other languages, so I'm not sure that can be accomplished. I'll work on the file database, but I havn't been able to figure out how to parse a text file and return the correct results. I keep working on that. Using client_putinserver instead of client_authorized.

Janet, so a user toggle on/off option would help?

and for rough translations use http://www.freetranslator.com

[Brad]

Don't worry about translations to other languages. Just having the English in there is good enough.

[Janet Jackson]

You can always request translations, many plugin authors do that. Using an online translator however sounds like a bad idea to me, unless you want to have a good laugh at the result.

If that would work per user...great !

I have to concur with our booby-licious friend here...great idea - for non admins.

I am aware of the eror when the server first boots up. After a map change or restart, the plugin operates just fine. I cant figure that one out. Anyone?
-Got it, nevermind.
