[TF2] Trade Requests
v. 18.0115.0

This plugin allows users to more easily send trade requests. Rather than having to press escape, click 'Items', click 'Trading', click 'Current Server', and then search through a list of users on the server which seems to be randomly sorted... players can instead just type /trade PlayerName in the chat, press esc, and click one button.



COMMANDS

Spoiler

• sm_trade <target> - Opens a small dialog with a button what will instantly send a trade request to the targeted player. Other buttons are also included. If an invalid player was specified, then the user is sent to the trade list instead.
  
  
• sm_tradelist - Opens a list of players on the server, sorted alphabetically. Clicking on a user's name on this list will open their trade buttons page as if you had typed their name after sm_trade.
  
  
• sm_tradeoffer <target> - Opens a trade offer page with the specified player, if that targeted player has provided their trade offer token.
  
  
• sm_tradetoken <URL> - Sets your trade token, so other players can target you with sm_tradeoffer. You must provide the entire URL.
  

CVARS, shown with default values:

Spoiler

• sm_traderequests_enabled 1 - (0/1) Enables or disables use of most of the commands that this plugin provides.

Does the plugin advertise that players can use /trade?

No. Most servers that will be running this plugin will have some sort of customizable advertisement plugin that they can use to advertise /trade.

Also, I've been throwing around some concepts in my head around a plugin that other plugins use to manage their ads. A lot of plugins all use the same timer length and they start them at the same time; my stomping ground server has like 8 plugin ads that all pop up at once. It's irritating. I want to fix that in the future.

This would be nice. I hate having to modify a plugin directly to change the ad when I'd rather have 1 central plugin manage it.

Back on topic, very nice plugin!

so I'm assuming this is an upgrade from the beta version you posted here?

It's pretty much the same thing with a few very small changes.

maybe have the ability to trade someone that isn't in game, but has to have joined the server so the credentials are on your system...
