Let me find a link for you. @ work right now and eventscripts website is blocked. What it does is allow you to play any defined sounds you want at specific time lefts.

well let me rephrase:"I don't know the plugin, I found it via google, but tell me what my plugin can't do".

[sipster19]

I'd just like to see it work properly. I have been checking this thread quite often to see if you've released an update.

Sorry I haven't got back to this in such a long time chanz. I'm just seeing if this plugin is capable of doing the same thing Hunters Time Left is before I actually make the switch. I'm trying to phase out eventscripts and was looking for a nice alternative. Here is an example of two scripts that Hunters addon does. The first is how I configure sounds to be played in the background, and the same is how I configure chat messages to appear on the server...all at time intervals determined by how much time is left on the server:

Content-Type: text/plain

"time_left_sound"
{
    "sounds"
    {
        // "{timeleft}" "{soundpath}"
        // {soundpath} relativ to sounds/ directionary of client games.
        // eg. "1" "npc/overwatch/radiovoice/one.wav"
        // Note: 1200 seconds = 20 minutes
        //
        //"1200" "admin_plugin/20min.mp3"        //

any response Chanz?

[daveyboye]

Checking back again.

@daveyboy:
This doesn't support printing custom strings to users.

Additionally, it expects all sounds to be named in a specific way and reads all sounds at the start of a map or whenever the "sm_timeleftvoice_path" cvar changes. This is documented in "sound/timeleft/readme, if you want to use custom sounds.txt" (no, I'm not kidding, that's the filename).

P.S.
I can't help but think that the code could be optimized a bit using a Trie for lookups and EmitSoundToAll to play the sounds...

Yes this plugin could so much be optimized. :-)

[daveyboye]

Hey Chanz, what sort of time table are we looking at? I'd really like to move completely off eventscripts and this is the last script I am trying to find an alternative for.
