Hello. I wanted to say that your plugin is awesome!
Ok, now to the point.
Recently, server admins came up with a wish to not to see the advertisment because it makes harder to spectate someone (to spectate some suspicious player).
Is there a possibility that in upcoming future you could add this new CVAR?
Thanks for this great plugin anyway.
GL!

other people may proof me wrong but for now i think there are not so many admins who want that quite specific feature. i don't think i will implement it by default, this is way i will just give you instructions on how you can do it yourself. i decided to do it like this instead of just giving you a modified file because then for later plug-in versions you will be able to do that "patch" again:

download the source code and open it with a text editor.
search for this line:

get_players(naPlayers, nPlayerNum, "ac")    // alive players 

simply doing a text search for "// alive" should find the line. now a little below that line you will find the header of a "for" loop:

for (nPlayerCount = 0; nPlayerCount < nPlayerNum; nPlayerCount++)

followed by a bracket on a line by itself. directly after that bracket insert a new line:

if (is_user_admin(naPlayers[nPlayerCount])) continue

do the same some lines below in the "// dead players" section.
make sure the new line has TABs in front of it so that it is on the same level with the line that follows it.

so here is an excerpt of how the first section would look like after the change:

                        get_players(naPlayers, nPlayerNum, "ac")    // alive players
                        set_hudmessage(000, 100, 255, get_pcvar_float(cvar_announce_alivepos_x), get_pcvar_float(cvar_announce_alivepos_y), 0, 0.0, 10.0, 0.5, 0.10, 1)
                        for (nPlayerCount = 0; nPlayerCount < nPlayerNum; nPlayerCount++)
                        {
                            if (is_user_admin(naPlayers[nPlayerCount])) continue
                            if (get_pcvar_num(cvar_manual) >= 1)

after you made the changes compile the code and see if it works. i didn't test that code myself but if you need help with that change or got any problems i am here to support you.

Thanks for giving an advice, but this do not work.
I hope you have more possible solutions for this
P.s. I`m going to sleep now, hope you will come up with great idea how to help me
And thanks for helping.

"does not work" is not an error description.

i wrote a step-by-step guide. at which step are you stuck? don't you find the text sections? doesn't it compile? did it compile but admins can still see announcements? did it compile but not load? did your house burn down while you tried to install it? did your cat get asthma from looking at the code?

Sorry for giving such a bad explanation.
Plugin does compile fine and server gives no error about it either.
All servers loads just as usually.
But the advertisment still can see everyone.

then probably something went wrong when you made the changes to the file. please post your xredirect.sma after you made your modifications so i can search where the problem is.

[Armymen]

Here you go.

you didn't add the second (and in your case: more important) line for the "// dead players" section.

you said it would disturb admins who are spectating. while they are spectating, they are obviously not alive. so you gotta add the line for the other section too, then it should work.

so the excerpt looks like this:

                        get_players(naPlayers, nPlayerNum, "bc") // dead players
                        set_hudmessage(000, 100, 255, get_pcvar_float(cvar_announce_deadpos_x), get_pcvar_float(cvar_announce_deadpos_y), 0, 0.0, 10.0, 0.5, 0.10, 1)   // show list at lower position for them so it is not covered by the "spectator bars"
                        for (nPlayerCount = 0; nPlayerCount < nPlayerNum; nPlayerCount++)
                        {
                            if (is_user_admin(naPlayers[nPlayerCount])) continue
                            if (get_pcvar_num(cvar_manual) >= 1)

man i did what u told me

MY settings

redirect_external_address "123.123.123.123:27015
redirect_active 1
redirect_manual 3
redirect_announce 120
redirect_announce_mode 3
redirect_check_method 2
redirect_show 1
redirect_follow 1
redirect_retry 1

Not working :S

That's not really much informations you give here, but from what i see you are issing one quoteationmark at the end:
redirect_external_address "123.123.123.123:27015"
