waw a plugin from 2015 \o/ (these are starting to get rare)

Great idea, love it, Very curious as to how exactly it knows that the favorite tab was used tho..(I'll be sure to check the source when i get into srcpwn ;)

Suggestion
I'd rather actually just have a list of players that connected through favorites
like:

• /fclist Shows amount of players that have connected through favorites
  And maybe a more detailed list in a log file?
• Also maybe when a player joins that connected through favorites, broadcast a msg to admins only?

Great idea, great plugin, love it, keep up the good work!

You can easily do that yourself, this plugin is build on top of Favorite Connections, which is a rather easy to use system to detect people joining via favorites.
If you really want, I could try doing it for you someday

Heh, well, knock yourself out ;)
I just think it'd be a cool idea and very useful addition/plugin

Thanks!

cl_connectmethod is how. basically if cl_connectmethod equals serverbrowser_favorites, then the client connected to the server via favorites tab.

Make sure you have Favorite Connections installed.

Based on your config, only the person joining thru favorites will be able to see a message.

Note that this plugin only announces a player connected thru favorites when it's their first time doing so, and in order for it to acknowledge that is by checking if you're an admin. If you have admin flags, then it assumes you already have the server in your favorites and doesn't announce the message.

Oh, right, that would explain some things. Didn't catch the "for the first time" part, my bad.

I was just about to shout. ITS NOT WORKING. HALP. But alrighty, that explains it.
Quick question tho. what do I change/remove from the code if I'd like it to announce every time someone connects via favorites both to the server and the client? Would be nice to see cvar's for this in upcoming versions!

Thanks nano and great plugins
