Description:

Removes unprintable characters from the player's nickname when he is connecting / changing the name.
This prevents, e.g. the quite often case with Line Break character in nickname, that is breaking an output of other plugins in chat and in logs.

- Following character codes will be removed: 0 <= X <= 31 (see: http://www.asciitable.com/ ).

- (optionally) Multiple subsequent "space" characters will be removed.
- (optionally) Always hide nickname change notification in chat.

On the following image we can see invisible 0xA (10) character at the end of nickname:


Perhaps, it's a duplicate of some plugins.

Difference among other plugins:
- Country-specific codes (160 - 255) are allowed.
- Simplicity, I prefer don't accept new feature requests.

For more features, I would suggest the Uninamer by red!. Although, I didn't test it.

Settings (ConVars):

Can be found in: cfg/sourcemod/sm_name_normalizer.cfg

PHP Code:

// Eat subsequent space characters? (1 - Yes, 0 - No)
sm_name_normalizer_eat_multi_space "1"

// Always hide nickname change notification in chat (1 - Yes, 0 - No)
sm_name_normalizer_always_hide_nick_change "0" 


Commands:

- Nothing.

Compatiblity:

- L4D1.
- L4D2.
