[pizzahut]

This plugin allows players to change their name without having to access the console.

This is especially useful in DoD and TFC, because in these games Valve disabled the name field in the multiplayer options with the hint that the Friends name should be altered instead, but this doesn't have an effect.

CVAR

amx_name_usage - Display usage info? 0 = no, 1 = yes

It isn't your job, to update..
If u got idea's for him, say it to him, U don't need make a topic for that?

& This isnt a new plugin

...

[pizzahut]

He isn't around any more, so I think it's valid to release an update, especially considering that his plugin has a major bug (global chat is blocked completely).

Btw, I'm updating again, added multi-language support.

[nl]

[MmikiM]

Shit from where you have this translations?

[pl] usage = Napisz name lub /name w czacie gry, aby zmienic swoj nick.

[fysiks]

Using "name" as the trigger word can cause accidental name changes. "Name that tune!"

Just register_clcmd("/name", . . .). (works rarely lol) Also, my version has a confirmation menu before it actually change their name so that if they mis-type something they can refuse it.

If you really do want to use "name" as a trigger word then I would definitely suggest the confirmation menu.

Spanish correction

[es] usage = Escriba o name /name en el chat para cambiar su nombre.

[es] usage = Escriba name o /name en el chat para cambiar su nombre.
