This plugin was requested.

Description: Adds the remaining time in h:m:s format to the host name (updated every second).

CVAR: amx_hostname_update - How often the hostname is updated, in seconds. (0 = disabled)
Note: Changing this cvar during the game won't take effect until map change.

Authors: Deviance (aka Doombringer) and me.

Credits: Original plugin "Timeleft Hostname" by Cheap_Suit. The plugin archive can be found here. The original thread (without the plugin) can be found here.

Note on pcvars: There's no pcvar function for setting strings, so I'm using the conventional way to set it.

Nice lil plugin!

I think you should add:

public plugin_end()
{
    set_cvar_string("hostname", g_hostname);

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}

Just as a fail-safe.

I would suggest letting people set the time between updates with a CVAR.

[pizzahut]

v1.2 Added plugin_end and cvar as suggested.
v1.2.1 Added a delay before the cvar is checked (for reading from amxx.cfg at server start).

very useful
also, possibly adding a CVAR that will allow someone to tell the player if they would put the timeleft infront or behind the hostname.

amx_timeleft_organize - 1 for front, 2 for behind

Example: DaTwinkle House | Time Remaining: 1h20m2s
Example 2: Time Remaining: 1h20m2s | DaTwinkle House

I don't think people would want the time left in front. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Somebody has made this before, a long time ago. I have used it, although I did not see much use for it myself. It was a nice job. I'll see if I can find it and show yea, if not good Job

EDIT:
Here (Sorry it was only the Team Scores, not the time.

this plugin keeps changing the name of my server to "half-life"

[pizzahut]

I found another possible issue - the timer wasn't stopped at the end.
