Unique Chat




This plugin is for servers that have a hard time handling chat-bind spams, with this a player can only say the same thing ever X seconds.
By default the player can only say the same thing once every 120 seconds, or until their cache loads up at 60 chat messages.
Originally designed for my TF2 murder server, where muting/gaging players because they pressed a chat bind would impact gameplay.

ConVars

sm_uniquechat_display - Display a chat message, 0 - Off, 1 - Telling the message is redundant, 2 - Displays the time before they can say it again.
sm_uniquechat_time - The maximum amount of time to store a chat message, 0 to disable time checking.
sm_uniquechat_max - The maximum amount of chat messages to store in the cache.
sm_uniquechat_ignoreflag - If the user has this flag then they are ignored from any checks. -1 - Ignore every one (Disables this plugin), 0 - Ignores no one.

Niceeee, I like it. Any way to not show the spam message if someone is using a chat trigger?

Yeah I was wondering this also, is there any way to determine if the command is a chat hooked command? I wouldn't want to just exclude all messages starting with "!", unless i hide that message completely.

This is awesome.

Only improvement I can see would be to add a cvar controlling the cooldown on unique chat messages - it's default is 120 seconds, which is actually pretty long for a chat cycle.

Having the ability to customize that interval would be spiffy.

You mean the convar "sm_uniquechat_time" ?

I plan on changing how this works instead of having one ConVar define the time, I'm going to make it so certain words can be added to a config and defined an expiration time. The convar will be used for any words that do not exist in the config. This will prevent "motd" etc having a cooldown of 120 seconds etc. I still have yet to mess with the IsChatTrigger().
