I don't like the idea of paying to send a message. I'll simply add a feature so you can specify how many messages a player can send each day.

I'm pleased you have no interest in it as I have. Isn't there a way to do this without ➾ nVault Array
➾ nVault Utility? That was my first untold impression of this work.

What would be the advantage?

or make option to write a subject before the whole saved message...so at the menu stamp Nick + Subject (like PMs)..so no worries about lenght

Nice idea, I'm adding that.

Both. It follows the same principle as nVault -- if the key exists, it updates, if the key does not exist, its an add.

SQL isn't bad, I can set up the tables, write the queries and give you a framework for submitting and processing queries.

When I view a message, it still says 'Read: No'. It only changes to Yes when I select 'Mark As Read'. It should change to yes when I choose View or Mark As Read.

PHP Code:

public client_putinserver( id )
{
    if( ~ get_user_flags( id ) & FLAG_VIEW )
    {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }

    set_task( 3.0, "OnInformTask", id + TASK_INFORM );
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}
--->
public client_putinserver( id )
{
    if ( get_user_flags( id ) & FLAG_VIEW )
    {
        //May want to consider making the delay longer, like 7 or 10 seconds 
        //OR display this to him on the first round start event after he connects. 
        //This way it doesn't get missed if he connects and then goes to get a beer.
        set_task( 3.0, "OnInformTask", id + TASK_INFORM );
    }
} 


Fix indenting:

enum _:MessageStruct
{
    Message_Text[ 192 ],
    Message_Title[ 64 ],
    Message_Sender[ 32 ],
    Message_Reader[ 32 ],
    Message_TimeStamp,
    Message_ReadTime,
bool:Message_Read,
bool:Message_Removed
};

    switch( iItem )
    {
    case ITEM_VIEW:
        {   
        }
    case ITEM_UNARCHIVE:
        {
        }
    }

Advantage #1 Message being spendy (in whatever units, TOS and money to show active player) eliminates flooding. Advantage #2 Fun. Name how cost is disadvantageous option somewhere down the line or why not for another mod? Actually I see now unless it is counter-strike only it's useless for serious admin. This evolved into ticketing system. That can be quite useful for those who run like 200+ plugins! You will get a life time amount of business. The double limiter idea, like a core # msgs per day like you say and some other or total of 3 controls is just a possible safe guard to play around with. As you can see that knife mod you made brought me back to admin_money. Now that's way before Ben had $$! Keep it up man.

If you're willing to write the code and I use it, why not. But still, I'd have no idea how to support that code.

Fixed.

I made a better way, by showing a menu on first spawn.

It's NotePad++'s problem, not mine. For some reason tagged variables such as bool and float don't get indented on enums and I don't know about switch().

* UPDATED TO V1.3

CHANGELOG:

* v1.3 *
              • Fixed Marking as Seen
