In this case everything works fine, but if you have any plugin, command that shows the list of players on the server. For example, !report from SourceBans shows the Admin in this list.

With your plugin would you be able to fix this, being admin the player is not displayed in this list?

Nope, the plugin is still aware about the client being on the server and it has to be, this removes the player from A2S responses, that's valve's server query protocol for other services to get information about a server, e.g. how many players are on the server, what players are on the server, what map is being played etc.. The community server browser list also uses this protocol to get information about the server. People tend to abuse the player list in the server browser to figure out if an admin is watching them or not

This plugin exposes an API for plugins to exclude players from the server browser player list. This could be used to hide admins in admin stealth plugins.

This plugin only intercepts packets coming from server to the client, not packets going to valve's master server, thus this data will only affect direct A2S queries. You cannot fake your player count in the internet tab in server browser!

Example code

PHP Code:


			
#include <S2AProxy>



public Action OnClientPlayerList(const char[] playerName)

{

    PrintToServer("Username: %s", playerName);



    if(StrEqual(playerName, "adminname"))

        return Plugin_Handled; // Exclude name from list



    return Plugin_Continue;

}



public Action OnServerExcludeCount(int &excludeCount)

{

    excludeCount = 1; // Number of players to exclude from the total player count

    return Plugin_Changed;

}

DHooks 2 with detours

It looks bad to use this plugin based on player name. Nobody will ever stick to a player name.

Can't you expose a client index by iterating every player and matching a player name? Better than 2 or more plugins doing that.

I don't really want to introduce unneeded string comparasions, you're right in the sense that if more plugins use such it would actually become slower than just iterating everyone. A picture in my head was if for example an admin hide plugin was to use this it could just get the names of hidden admins, not everyone and save few calls.
