Steam Friends Highlighter
description
When a steam friend of your joins or leaves the server it displays a chat message to you and, it brings a command that makes you able to visually highlight your friends (applying a transparency gradient). You also can use it as spectator. An example of usage is when you are in the spawn and want to go play together with a friend of yours.

command +steam (highlights your steam friends)
cvarssteamHighlight_speed 3 (the highlight effect speed)
steamHighlight_min_trans 100 (the minim transparency amount the effect has)
modules
regex
modified sockets_hz (included in the zip)
To use this plugin you need a modified version of hackziner sockets modules that ships in the zip file. The reason to that is that the function
socket_open performs a operation in a blocking way so it makes the server break so, I needed to change it a little bit. It should not affect your server performance at all.
