1. Can you please add support for Nican's database extension, to use that for database connection? Would be easier imo.

2. Do we really need a space between ? and the command name? For example:
? command
?command

Thx.

What exactly would it make easier?

If you've already setup a database connection before you install my plugin, you don't have to do anything. If not, you'll have to set one up anyway, because that database manager thing requires one as well. In both cases, you don't have to create a table for my plugin because it does that by itself anyway.

What advantage would I/anyone have from making the installation process more complicated by adding a dependency?

Yes, because ? is registered as a command, while ?keyword is not. I'm using commands here, not chat message filtering, that's why this is required

Make sure you're doing these commands through console and not chat.

Ok, if it created and manages the datatable himself, there is really no point for that extension (maybe just that you can simplify your plugin). I have a database connection to mysql, wich is already used by some plugins, that use this extension.

There's really not much to simplify in there, and I don't want to add a dependency to an extension if it is not absolutely neccessary in order to keep the installation process as simple as possible.

N1 plugin.
Can you add an optional long description for Keywords

example: ! url "http://evil-twin.org.uk" "longdescription"
Optput when type ? url: longdescription http://evil-twin.org.uk

[MistaGee]

What about defining
! url "http://evil-twin.org.uk"
! urlong "Guys visit our ub0rcool homepage at http://evil-twin.org.uk"

Doh! I didn't prepend the commands.

I'll have another whirl tonight. Thank you

OK after ensuring that I prefixed my chat commands with / the plugin works like a dream.

Here are some ideas/wishes

Any chance we could see a command which would display (strictly to the one that called it : not publically) the defined keywords?

/knowledge

^ A command like that which displayed a list of defined keywords would be cool!

Also in TF2 the chat is plain white : I assume that can't be changed to be more eyecatching?

Would be awesome if we could define custom colours!

%1 = red
%2 = blue
%0 = white
%3 = green
%4 = pale green
%5 = yellow

/! test %1red %2blue %3green etc etc...
/? test red blue green etc etc...
[KB] test: red blue green etc etc...

I'm not sure what colours are available in TF2 but this thread is interesting


[Kb] ....

When a response is 'printed' can [KB] be altered to [INFO] or something? Maybe it could be defined to display whatever the admin decides...

I'd prefer it if the keyword didn't appear in the response:

so[KB] url : www.evil-twin.org.uk showed as[KB] www.evil-twin.org.uk although I'd prefer it even more if I could make it [INFO] www.evil-twin.org.uk

This last idea is a pipe-dream which is borne from an Eventscript I used to use to fulfil the function your plugin now fulfils.

Clan members could type "!me" and a personal description would be printed in chat to all clients.

If you could make it so that admins could do "/! me "my description goes here" and that was tied to their Steam ID so that a "/? me" would output the description for the person that defined it then that would be awesome.

hmmm I was a tad drunk typing this so I hope it's not complete gibberish :/

The colors and list stuff is a bit harder to implement, I'll take a loot at that tomorrow.

The "me" stuff however is easy, got that running. I've tested it with CS:S, DoD:s and TF2; everything works fine in CS:S and DoD:S, but the "me" messages aren't displayed when the player joins in TF2.
When typing "? me" as a command, the message works in every mod though.
