Ya, Another Server Redirect Plugin

UPDATED (7-16-09) Works with Steam update


So what's the difference...
1) This redirect plugin is designed solely for those server ops who are changing to a new server IP.
2) It will redirect ALL players to your new server while displaying the new info in the startup MOTD.
3) The MOTD will trap the player on the MOTD screen, continuing to display it, until the redirect occurs.
4) The new server info will be placed in the client's console for reference.
5) The plugin contains a backdoor that will allow an admin with Immunity, AND who's name is noredirect, to enter the server.

Note: The MOTD stay code is based on 'MOTD Repeater/Holder' by Ven.

The plugin will autofail if...
No motd.txt file is found
The redirect_ip CVar is blank
The redirect_enable CVar is 0

CVars (Place in server.cfg or amxx.cfg file)
redirect_enable - Plugin enable/disable - Required (Default = 0 <disabled>)
redirect_ip - Destination server IP - Required (Default = "")
redirect_port - Destination server port - Required if other than the default (Default = 27015)
redirect_delay - Delay time (seconds) until redirect - Optional (Default = 10)

A sample motd.txt file is provided below. The resulting screen from the sample is shown in the thumbnail pic.

This plugin has only been tested on a Windows server with DOD 1.3 and CS 1.6

Version History:
1.7 - Fixed issue of not redirecting after another Steam update.
1.6 - Fixed issue of not redirecting after Steam update.
1.5 - Original release.

I see, so you need to have the prior server still running and know the new ip then. I guess you could do that with other redirects in that case, but this one is much more descriptive/detailed. And Markets the new ip and lets them know instead of the changing the server name. Not bad

Yeah, not bad, looks interesting... gj anyway.

Exactly. If fact the only reason I wrote this was because we had to change hosts and wanted to make it convenient for our regular players. So I figured I'd share it for those who might find themselves in the same scenerio. We even kept our old server for an extra month just to redirect traffic to our new server.

I could have used this a few times for sure.

this is awsome , i just wish there was a way to make it so if somone connects to a server in CZ it sends them to a server in 1.6, BUT will most likely NEVER be possible

Maybe because it's impossible to switch someone's client with metamod...

"simple redirect" - old plugin, which does exactly what the title says. Its simple.

Nice stuff.
