As per a discussion in #sourcemod a few days ago, I am pleased to introduce Plugin Categories! This first version doesn't support as much as I'd like (I'll likely be modifying it to be tags rather than categories later), but is still rather useful!

This plugin adds:
1.) A command: sm_plugins_list which supports these categories by default: all (which displays all plugins, regardless of category) and misc (which displays all plugins in the main folder).
2.) A command: sm_list_categories which lists all current categories, including built-ins.
3.) A cvar: pluginlist_enabled.

v1.1
- Fixed handle leak in BuildPluginList
- Added version cvar

Categories are set by the folder the plugin is in.
Note: This was something I just quickly whipped up, there will likely be bugs, issues, and the code is not incredibly optimized (although in this case that isn't as much of an issue)

Were you planning on providing a set of enum'd categories? Or was your intention that each plugin could name its own category?

BTW, I like this

[necavi]

Every plugin can name its own category, due to different plugin's needs.

But then that would be the same thing as having a normal plugin list, because every single plugin might end up having a different category and there would be no point in "categorizing" them.
I would recommend using the list here in the category section.

I have thought of that, and adding a standardized list, but the primary purpose behind this plugin was use with massive plugin sets, such as my own classmod, or War3Source.

Also: Added a command to list all current categories.

My suggestions on improving:
1. As mentioned, have general categories if possible
2. Make plugin automatically categorize if all "those" plugins are in folder, like SourceIRC modules being in plugins/SourceIRC
3. ???
4. Get this code included into standard SM

[necavi]

As per Stinkyfax's recommendation it now automatically attempts to set the plugin's foldername as its category.

Update: Removed the SetPluginCategory native due to the lack of a proper plugin load/unload detection event. (may re-add it later in some form).

so where's the "plugin_cat.inc"?

My apologies, I uploaded a version that still required the include, that is no longer the case.
