Server Messages v1.5 by Leon McVeran


Content of Server Messages
This plugin is not really a new idea. You can download similar plugins on https://forums.alliedmods.net or on www.amxmodx.org. Server Messages shows important messages, informations or rules on clients. You can add a messages in different languages into a file (server_messages.txt). The using of a consecutive numbers is required. You can also send a custom messages to a specific client or group.

Special thanks to the members of "Alliedmods - Forum" for some suggestions and solutions.

Please don't PM me to request for a version with the tutor. The distribution of this files are not allowed. I will create some new files to release a version with the tutor, please be patient.

FAQ
Q: Can I add more messages/rules/informations?
A: Yes of course, open the server_messages.txt (../cstrike/addons/amxmodx/data/lang) and add your message/rule/information. Three things are very important, if you ignore them it could result in an error.
1. You must use a consecutive numbering. If you would like to add a new rule and it is exists SERVER_RULE_1, SERVER_RULE_2 and SERVER_RULE_3, you must begin your new rule with SERVER_RULE_4. Example: SERVER_RULE_4 = Bugusing are not allowed.
2. You can use maximal 256 chars, for chat and tutor messages maximal 180 chars.
3. You must add this rule to every language key

Q: How I can add the mapname, playername or servername to the messages?
A: You can use in the messages one of the following placeholders. All placeholders without quotes.
"#hostname#" - Name of the server, "#playername#" - Name of the player who got the message, "#nextmap#" - Name of the next map (required nextmap.amxx), "#currentmap#" - Name of the current map (required nextmap.amxx), "#time#" - Current date and time, "#timeleft#" - Left time until mapchange, "#playtime#" - Session time of the player who got the message

Q: I want to use russian, chinese or an other language which are not displayed. What can I do?
A: One of these post can help you. Post 1 Post 2


Have fun!

Those CZ-like messages look incredibly elegant. Hopefully you will find a method to get rid of the restart thing, I'd definitely use it.

or
