What do you think about storing the settings in the database

Could this not be a change that is implemented for the whole store?

Only if its made possible by some sort of native because I can't code SQL at all.

Whelp, this scraps the plugin I was making. haha

Maybe we should make a Work In Progress Thread, so developers can see what is being worked on atm and there are no duplicate plugins ?!

Haha, oh wow. A week or two? Welp, I just woke up and was going to work on the plugin some more and finish up some events, but I got called into work. Guess I'll have to work on it later.


Whats with all this silly "end your post like it's a letter to your friend" shit,

I don't dedicate my time to working on plugins. I also use that format a lot when I feel like it.

I have created and sticked the WIP-Thread.

Update Time!

So I've been pretty busy the past two days, what with having to go to work and all, and I've only had a brief bit of time to work on the plugin tonight, but I've already gotten something worked out for the plugin, which I am now going back through the code to change every instance over to.

It's the addition of two new ConVars which I really should have coded in in the first place. The first ConVar determines if messages are to be displayed upon doing something that earns you cash.

The second ConVar only occurs for certain events (at this time, events such as Ubercharging a teammate, or killing a player) that have the ability to display your victim's name. Setting this second ConVar to "1" will enable the messages to display the victim's name, i.e. "You have earned <amount> <currency name> for killing <victim name>". Setting it to "0" displays a more generic message, for example "You have earned <amount> <currency name> for killing an enemy."

Here's an example:

PHP Code:

new displaymsg = GetConVarInt(Credits_DisplayMessages);
        if (displaymsg == 1)
        {
            if (bigstun)
            {
                new displayname = GetConVarInt(Credits_DisplayNames);
                if (displayname == 1)
                {
                    PrintToChat(attacker, "%s%t", STORE_PREFIX, "Moonshotted Player Named", credits_bigstun, g_strCurrencyName, victimname);
                }
                else
                {
                    PrintToChat(attacker, "%s%t", STORE_PREFIX, "Moonshotted Player", credits_bigstun, g_strCurrencyName);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                new displayname = GetConVarInt(Credits_DisplayNames);
                if (displayname == 1)
                {
                    PrintToChat(attacker, "%s%t", STORE_PREFIX, "Stunned Player", credits_stun, g_strCurrencyName, victimname);
                }
                else
                {
                    PrintToChat(attacker, "%s%t", STORE_PREFIX, "Stunned Player", credits_stun, g_strCurrencyName);
                }
            }
        } 


The code is all expanded because that's how I roll. I will of course try my damndest to minimize the # of lines in the code using some popular methods of shrinking the amount of lines of code, such as:

PHP Code:

if (displayname == 1) { PrintToChat(attacker, "%s%t", STORE_PREFIX, "Moonshotted Player Named", credits_bigstun, g_strCurrencyName, victimname); } 


As well, I've also added a new event or two, in regards to the CTF game mode. Instead of just being able to get cash for capturing the Intel (along with the team bonus for capturing the intel), you will also have the option to set up an amount of credits to reward players who grab the Intel, or who defend the Intel.

I've just added Grabbing the Intel and Defending the Intel to the main post
