Server's Map Information
version 2.1.1 by
Ulquiorra |aka| Askhanar

Introduction

I saw on a server a plugin that was showing all server's maps ( inside maps folder ) via motd.
It was showing information like: mapname, spawns, and a map thumbnail.

In the next second i got this idea.

This plugin shows you via motd ( using a php script parsing url ) All maps information you need.

Information about Current&Next Map:
-Current MapName, Current Played Time.
-Nextmap MapName, Current TimeLeft.

If the cvar amx_nextmap is empty ( "" ), It'll say 'Not voted yet'.

Information about Last 10 Played Maps:
-Each MapName + preview in thumbnail.
-For how long the map was played.
-The max players record on specific map ( ex: 15/32 ).
-How long ago the map was played. ( kind of useless, but added it to have all corners occupied [ watch preview link ] ).


You can see a preview by clicking Here

Commands:

• /maps, /mapsinfo, /minfo, /mi, /lastmaps - opens motd.
• /currentmap, /nextmap - opens motd ( if enabled by cvar, default functions still triggered ).
  

CVars:

• smi_override_cmd "0/1/2/3" 0=OFF, 1= Only /currentmap, 2= Only /nextmap, 3 = both. If enabled opens the motd too.
• smi_script_url "http://yourdomain.com/script" Here you set your script location.
  EX: http://mysite.ro/smi/smi.php"
  
  

Required modules:

• basic

Instalation:

Instal this plugin just like any other plugin.
Put smi.amxx ( after compiling localy ) into plugins folder.
Add smi.amxx line to plugins.ini.

Upload the files inside the smi_web.rar to your website.


ChangeLog:

[15.03.2015]
2.1.1   -  All suggestions done.
          -  Added new cvar ( smi_override_cmd ), read description.
          -  Added new commands ( /currentmap, /nextmap ), read description.

[14.03.2015]
1.1.1   -  Fixed and changed all thethings from suggestions.

[10.03.2015]
1.0.1   -  Added Curren&Next Map information.

[01.03.2015]
1.0.0   -  First stable version of plugin.

Notes:

Map's thumbnail is directly token from GameTracker. If the map has no preview the thumbnail is being replaced by a 'NoImage.png' image.
No SQL or Sockets required.


If anyone can help me improve that 'php script' i'll give him a huge hug. Because i suck at php.
After installing the plugin, please change your map 10 times, this way you wont have empty statistics.

PHP Code:

Played Time           Players Record

Finally here you are, I'll test it soon, thanks Askhanar

Seeing a bit of my style here

For readability purposes instead of sizeof -1 use charsmax.
When you parse map file or whatever it is you have a string-array called szCrap. This makes me think that it is an unused param of some string manipulation func or sth like that, but in fact you need it, consider a better name.

In cmd_MapsInfo static is used wrong, it's just a player command, no need of static. Even if not wrong, in my opinion static should only be used when it's really needed, in the other cases let's use new.

In plugin_end check if file pointer is valid before writing to it.

Anyway, this seems to be an interesting ideea + glad to see you here. But, really, change your coding style, too many spaces :O.

[red_bull2oo6]

My coding style is just fine. It's more readable.

All done except sizeof -1 , it's the same.

Well, I'm not here to argue, but I need to make some things clear:
1)I said that sizeof -1 should be changed only for readability purpose, not that it's a different thing. This is up to you, I'm just giving suggestions.
2)About coding style, this is a subjective opinion, but with no extra spaces it is more readable than with all of this HN and spaces. Up to you, again.

That just happens to be the worst part of the code (style-wise) ;). The excessive use of spaces comes in a close second.

[red_bull2oo6]

@HemletEagle: charsmax done, coding style will be changed in next version.
@Fysiks: That was funny ^^, changed that too.. ( default style ).

btw i hope that huge url i'm formatting won't get problematic for some reason, whatever would it be.

You are limited to 1536 characters in the MOTD (your URL).

[claudiuhks]

In .CSS file found:

    background: #242424 url(http://www.ulqtech.tk/css/images/bg-pattern.png) 0 0;

Expected:

   background: #242424 url(bg-pattern.png) 0 0;

All Website resources must be zipped inside.
Plug-in seems really fine now, but you can sometimes avoid using 'copy'. Especially if the size matches.

copy( g_szMapsName[ i ], charsmax( g_szMapsName[ ] ), "NoMap" );

Might be, optional:

g_szMapsName[i] = "NoMap";

And in plugin_end():

fclose( iFile );

Check if opened before closing.

No need of 3 checks to see if pointer is valid, make one and put everything inside it. Also, you left a static in the command public.
