This is my first plugin, it took me about 6 hours to learn how to write it and make it work.

Basically it adds a players location tag (e.g. UK, US, FR ) to the end of a players name.
Example: N3wton [UK]

if a user is an admin the players name will look more like this:
Example: (A)N3wton [UK]

It also has an option to show a welcome message as players connect, this can be turned off.
The player join message can be changed in the .cfg, but the default is...
Example: N3wton from the United Kingdom has joined.
(admin users will be shown in yellow)

As I say this is my first plugin, so please be kind and suggest improvements.

NOTE
There is an error in the Left4Dead2 gamedata( in SorceMod 1.3.1) file located at...
"left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/gamedata/sdktools.games/engine.l4d2.txt"
the SetUserCvar for windows is set at 18, where as the correct value is 17.
I recommend updating your server to the latest STABLE snapshot located here.
(note: this bug only effects windows servers, linux servers should run fine)

What does this plugin have over this one? http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=738756

[n3wton]

it has the abillity to stop the start up message and the abillity to change the format of the start up message, and you can list all the players via a command, and finally, it puts it at the end of the name rather than the beginning

Ok, Ok, They basically do the samething, It just annoyed me that the version you mention wasn't very flexable, so I made my own.

Thanks for sharing! I was looking for this one. I can't believe why some people still complain when somebody takes the time to write a plugin and share it with us, it even has more functionality.

The more the merrier, keep them coming

If you're referring to me, I'm not sure how it was a complaint, rather than a valid question to save myself some time comparing and possibly weed out a duplicate in case the author was unaware of the other plugin.

@n3wton
Rather than using a usermessage hook to block the name change text, it would be more efficient to use the SetEventBroadcast native in your player_namechange hook to stop the event from broadcasting to clients. This can also be used in place of returning Plugin_Handled in the player_changename event so that other server functions involving the event, like logging, aren't affected.

I also recommend using the MAX_NAME_LENGTH define for the size of your name strings, rather than a (seemingly) arbitrary value.

Also, you might want to borrow the renaming methods from scripting/playercommands/rename.sp or note in the first post that this plugin with only work for orangebox and above, not "ANY" (ie. not CS:S, Insugency, etc.).

Noted, but this plugin has a couple more features, you could have seen that by comparing both plugins (which you are explaining right now why you didn't).

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'complain' as it was indeed a question, I might have overlooked the question mark sorry for that

[n3wton]

Just uploaded a quick update, I noticed a grammer error if the players country was unkown, so I fixed it

[n3wton]

Uploaded a new version which now supports admin recognition, such that if a client is an admin the connection message is shown in yellow where as other users are shown in white. Also admins names are prefixed with (A). Both these options can be disabled via the CVars.

p.s. What do I need to do to get this plugin approved?

There's a sticky what you need to do to get it approved

Thanks for the plugin and the updates, I'm going to test this. I was using the old one but I had one case where it would continue to add the country name to the name of the player. It looked like this:

[ZA][ZA][ZA][ZA][ZA][ZA]kernel.

And it would add a new [ZA] with every mapswitch lol.

Btw. one more request, could you add a cvar to add the country name before or after the nick? Thx

[marvel]

Wow major glitch, look at the player names now
