Servers running this plugin.

Valid tags:

{server_name} Prints server's name {player_name} Prints player's name {server_ip} Prints server IP address with port {time} Prints server time: Hours:Minutes {time_12} Prints server time in 12 hour format: Hours:Minutes {date} Prints current date: Day/Month/Year {date_us} Prints current date in US format: Month/Day/Year {map} Prints current map {nextmap} Prints next map if it is already chosen {timeleft} Prints time remaining for the map: Minutes:Seconds {tickrate} Prints current server's tickrate {max_players} Prints amount of visible server slots {player_count} Prints amount of players connected to the server {player_ip} Prints player's IP address {player_country} Prints player's country {server_uptime} Prints server uptime like this: 2 days 20 hours 02 minutes {is_admin} Is player admin? Prints: Yes/No {player_steamid} Prints player's Steam ID {player_language} Prints player's Steam language {server_language} Prints default server language

Adding language specific welcome messages
If you want to add welcome message for specific language just create text file configs/console_welcome_%lang%.txt. %lang% is 2-3 letters language code. For example: for French users you should use name like this - console_welcome_fr.txt and for Russian users - console_welcome_ru.txt. You can create many language specific welcome messages and they will be printed based on player's language. If player's language is not detected or there is no language specific message for player's language then console_welcome.txt is used.

Adding admin specific welcome message
You can create a special welcome message that will be displayed for admins only. Just create console_welcome_admin.txt in sourcemod/configs folder. It overrides language specific welcome messages so admin welcome message can't be multi-language.

Requirements:

• SourceMod 1.3.0+

You should add support for your colors include since OB games allow colors in console lol.

I have no idea how to print such colors. Console is definitely uses different color codes.

You can go there and upload your own image and it will convert it over to ASCII Art.

Just used my clans logo and it worked fine.

I tried a .gif and a .png and they both worked.

Just tested, working like a charm
