1. PreThink is a terrible place to set glow
2. You sometimes send 2 times fm_set_user_rendering in a row for the same player
3. Use set_user_rendering from fun module is faster than fakemeta conversion

-> Your plugin is terrible.
Original plugin is much better.

1. PreThink is a terrible place to set glow

should i use set task?, if i use set task with a loop ( i <= maxplayers) my server crash

[ConnorMcLeod]

You should send set_user_rendering only when it's needed, aka if the player status has changed.
It's up to you to find a good way to make the plugin, detect team change, defuser pick up, bomb pickup...

Do like Connor say. You are setting a Glow to a Dead Player.

Put in:
Spawn
Pick Up Boom ( see csx )

[ConnorMcLeod]

You don't need csx but you can use it for bomb detection.
For defuser you have to use some events from here : http://wiki.amxmodx.org/Half-Life_1_Game_Events (you can detect bomb also)

Usefull events :
ItemPickup
StatusIcon
TeamInfo

The original plugin has the exact same functionality, and from the version I just downloaded from you, has the almost same code.

Yours has no advantage over the original, until you add the changes Connor suggested.
Also, the original has the advantage right now because it doesn't have the problems Connor pointed out (multiple renders set to 1 player and fakemeta conversions).
