This plugin restricts access to the console commands 'spectate' and
'jointeam' to admins with the permission to execute a given command. The idea
is, that only admins with the appropriate permissions are allowed to
spectate.
This plugin targets HL2DM, because MoggieX's 'Reserved Spectators/Teams'
plugin does not work with it.

Console commands:
-    spectate:
        affected as described above
-    jointeam <1|2>:
        affected as described above

CVARs:
-    wtsr_version:
        the plugin's version.
-    wtsr_admflags:
        a string of ASCII character admin flags (like "c" for "kick") that
        determines who can bypass the restriction.
        (default: "d", i.e. "ban")

Testing platform:
-    Linux SRCDS 1.0.0.19
-    Metamod:Source 1.8.5
-    SourceMod 1.3.6

Changelog:
-    1.00
    -    changed cvar '_admcmd' to '_admgflags', i.e. now checking against
        flags
    -    removed cvar '_enable'
    -    clean up
    -    renamed to WTSR
-    0.82
    -    refurbishment
    -    added suppression of team switch messages
-     0.815
    -    general redesign
    -    renamed CVARs
    -    added 'AutoExecConfig()'
    -    added translation support (translations: en, de)
    -    workaround for 'colour problem' with Mästerkatten's 'Spawn & Chat
        Protection'
-     0.42
    -    Initial release

This might be causing a couple of my servers to repeatedly restart over and over.. still investigating.

[DJ Tsunami]

There's nothing in this plugin that could cause a restart though.

@W00DY: could you edit your post and fill in specrestrict_version as the public cvar?

[W00DY]

@ nbtc971: The plugin is running on my Woody's Tree server without any problems so far. To find out the reason for your crashes, I need to now more about your config: addons, plugins, ...
I for instance have problems matching your description when using BAILOPANs Stripper:Source Metamod-Plugin.

@ DJ Tsunami: Edits O.K.? Could this become my first and so far only approved plugin?

[nbtc971]

It must of been a network issue that just happen to start around the time I tested. I just put it back in and it seems fine. thanks.

[nbtc971]

Those with sm_admin can't use it. I made sure they could get the menu too, but no luck. My settings:

specrestrict_command "sm_admin"
specrestrict_enable "1"

I am running keepers but followed your hint.

In addition your cvar is wrong above it says specrestrict_command and it is suppose to be specrestrict_admcmd however neither work. It appears as though it only registers the default setting of sm_ban.

*UPDATE*
Now I tried getting into the source code and changing the default from sm_ban to sm_admin and it still wouldn't work. Keeps saying I don't have access. I'm on 1.2.0 and 1.7.1

I have fixed my plugin for the time being by replacing this:

bool:hasPermission(client) {
    new String:command[64];
    GetConVarString(g_cvarAdmCmd, command, 64);
    if (CheckCommandAccess(client, command, ADMFLAG_ROOT)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

with this:

bool:hasPermission(client) {
    new String:command[64];
    GetConVarString(g_cvarAdmCmd, command, 64);
    if ((GetUserFlagBits(client) & ADMFLAG_GENERIC) == ADMFLAG_GENERIC) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Yeah I hardcoded it but since I don't know PAWN this was the best I could do. Works for me and how I want to use it.

@ nbtc971: Thx, I corrected the CVAR name in the post. Furthermore I'm going to check, why it does not work with admcmd set to "sm_admin"...!?

[W00DY]

Please find the new 'refurbished' minor version 0.82 attached to the first post.

@ nbtc971: With v0.82 I tested admcmd set to 'sm_admin' and me having different roles: worked perfectly well for me! Are you sure that v0.815 did work at all, even with the default 'sm_ban'? I found a little 'feature' resulting from the disorganization of my HD...

[toString]

Hello there, do you know if this works for TF2 as well? I've been looking about and I'm surprised to not see something for disabling spec. Let alone stopping people from chosing teams (to avoid stacking).

Unless I'm not looking in the right place?!

[W00DY]

@toString: Hm, I cannot answer your question, because my knowledge about TF2 converges towards zero! You could just try...
What are the TF2 console commands to spectate or to join a team? If these commands are the same as in HL2DM, namely 'spectate' and 'jointeam', then the plugin should work for TF2 - with slight modifications maybe.
