Remember the names

Johnny got his gun · **Plugin Info:**

Remembers names used by players.

In console you can type "amx_names <playername>" and you will have a list of the ten most common names ever used by that player.
The names are ordered by frequency and last time of use.

When someone enters the server a welcome msg is displayed to all clients (or admins only depending on compile).
If someone enters with a name less common than previously used names for that player,
the welcome msg will also contain up to three names most commonly used by the player.

Example: If I play 20 maps with the name "JGHG" and then 10 maps with "Johnny got his gun", and I enter another map
with the name "Faken Icker" the welcome msg should look like "We welcome Faken Icker, aka: JGHG, Johnny got his gun".

you're my god, or you read my alias logger thread on sourcemod.net , either way this is hot.

this is a complex plugin, if you have time, could you add a part that will display to all users as someone is entering the server, display their 3 most used names. That would make this so functional in my mind, thanks in advance

You're a legend, this is a very useful plugin indeed.

Very nice, but can you save the names some where else then the sql database?

Genesis: Um yes I was probably going to do that sooner or later, seems like I forgot to. :-)

Nightfire: Wish I had a simple solution for that, but I have nothing right now. SQL databases owns you. I will try to think of something though.

Johnny you did it again

Well i asked that because I really want to use this but i don't know any thing about SQL Datbases

Allright. I got around to make a Sqlite module.
Hope you're using Windows, cause I only have a build for that OS right now.

So, to try this out you probably shouldn't be running any other SQL module (mysql etc).
Copy the dll file into amxmodx/modules, and add a line for it in configs/modules.ini.

You need to use the bundled updated version of this plugin (version 0.3.1). And you need to compile it having the SQLITE defined (its default in that file)

The 0.3.1 plugin, when used with SQLITE module, doesn't care for usernames, hostnames or passwords. Just the rtn_db cvar which points directly to a file in your hlserver path.

Tell me if this works, I spent all day on it. :-)

Attachment removed - get Sqlite module from the SQL Modules package on Downloads page

The aka thing is brilliant! But I would really love if admins wasn't affected with this or even better, if the aka thing would send an admin_chat:

ON: Dilbert aka: Barbecue, Shoelacer

Or something like that. Don't want ppl to see when an admin connects as we often connect with fake nicks to spot a cheater before he disconnects.
