Excellent plugin. Very useful for info and troubleshooting.
One thing, DOD doesn't have a radar, so the plugin errored in the 'showOnRadar' routine. To correct this, I inserted the following:

 
public showOnRadar(id, ent) 
{
   new modname[16]
   get_modname(modname,15)
   if (equali(modname, "dod"))
       return
 
    new Float: ori_min[3]
    new Float: ori_max[3] 
 
    entity_get_vector(ent,EV_VEC_absmin,ori_min)
    entity_get_vector(ent,EV_VEC_absmax,ori_max) 
 
    message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, m_fakeHostage, {0,0,0}, id);
    write_byte(id);
    write_byte(21);
    write_coord(floatround((ori_max[0]+ori_min[0])/2));
    write_coord(floatround((ori_max[1]+ori_min[1])/2));
    write_coord(floatround((ori_max[2]+ori_min[2])/2));
    message_end();
    message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, m_fakeHostageDie, {0,0,0}, id);
    write_byte(21);
    message_end();
}

You may want to check for the cstrike mod to allow the routine to execute at all. In other words:

 
public showOnRadar(id, ent) 
{
   new modname[16]
   get_modname(modname,15)
   if (!equali(modname, "cstrike"))
       return
 
    blah blah blah
}

I don't think, that geting mod name is a best way...

Could someone try it for me on other mods?

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "msgid test"
#define VERSION "0.1"
#define AUTHOR "Miczu"

new m_fakeHostage
new m_fakeHostageDie

public plugin_init() {
	register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
	
	register_clcmd("say /test","test")
	
	m_fakeHostage = get_user_msgid("HostagePos");
	m_fakeHostageDie = get_user_msgid("HostageK");
}

public test(id)
{
	client_print(id,print_chat,"Test start")
	client_print(id,print_chat,"Hostage    : %d",m_fakeHostage)
	client_print(id,print_chat,"Hostage Die: %d",m_fakeHostageDie)
}

On cstrike it return 123 and 124.
I hope that on mods with no radar it will return something like 0 or -1

When i give this in cstrike:

m_fakeHostage = get_user_msgid("not_existing_msgid");

I got a 0, but it's still posible, that "HostagePos" is still in hl1 engine and it will not return 0.

There's many ways to skin a cat (I prefer pliers) but checking the modname is pretty common. You could always set a global boolean variable in the plugin_init dependent on the modname and test it in the routine. It'd be a lot quicker. Its up to you. I got it working for me, so I'm happy. Thanks again for your work.

It would be hell to add all mod names with/without radar XD

It would be great if the mod would return if i can use radar (by returning 0). And it would work without additional code (only extra if).

@Vet could you check on dod what num it return?

If you're refering to the applaunch ID, for DOD its 30.

Counter-Strike: 10
Team Fortress Classic: 20
Day of Defeat: 30
Half-Life: 70
Condition Zero: 80

[Miczu]

No, this code 2. post on this page

[Miczu]

Could someone test this?
Just run on hl1 mod (dod?) without radar and "say /test".

Plz tell me what it return (for karma).

[Vet]

Test on DOD returns ...
Hostage : 0
Hostage Die: 0

I'm pretty sure thos 2 messages don't exist for DOD.

[Miczu]

So i will make code for all modes with it

And without geting extra data like mod name :]

Thx Vet (karma for you).
