**VIP Information Menu** V0.9


About the plugin

This plugin is a direct edit to Chundo's Help menu plugin for Team Fortress 2. I have changed the code and the configuration around to my needs and changed this plugin into a VIP Information Menu. I am uploading this today as both my first upload, and my first ever attempt to change source code. I have little to no knowledge of this language and worked to the fullest of my potential.

Description

This plugin allows for any user to access a VIP Information Menu by simply doing !vip in the chat. The menu has sub menus for different sections. Such sections are:

~Payment
~Perks
~Rules
~Map rotation (I didn't know how to remove this feature in the code. Any help would be great)
~Current online admins (doesn't display owners. Please help with that)

Cvars

sm_vipmenu_version (Don't Touch this)
sm_vipmenu_welcome "1" //Show welcome message to newly connected users
sm_vipmenu_admins "0" //Show a list of online admins in the menu

Commands

!vip
/vip
!sm_vip
/sm_vip

Configuration

The configuration file needs to be put in your tf/Addons/sourcemod/configs folder. this is how it looks:

PHP Code:

"VIP MENU"
{
    "Payment"
    {
        "title"        "VIP COSTS"
        "type"        "list"
        "items"
        {
            ""        "VIP is currently 1 key per month"
            ""        "You can donate to either Volume, or Snowie"
            ""        "WARNING: DO NOT DONATE FOR VIP TO ANYONE ELSE"
        }
    }
    "Perks"
    {
        "title"         "VIP perks"
        "type"        "list"
        "items"
        {
            ""        "Toggle VIP tag"
            ""        "Ride in a bumper kart"
            ""        "Activate Explosive arrows"                    
            ""        "Turn into a robot"
            ""        "Colorize your character"
            ""        "Warp into exclusive VIP room"
            ""        "Have unusual effects on weapons"
            ""        "Actviate killstreak effects without killing"
        }
    }
    "Rules"
    {
        "title"        "VIP Rules"
        "type"        "list"
        "items"
        {
            ""        "No using commands on others"
            ""        "No bumper kart and friendly at the same time"
            ""        "You may lose your VIP if you break a rule"
            ""        "Once you have paid for VIP, you can not receive a refund"    
        }
    }
}

I really need help with figuring out how to remove the Map Rotation, and how to add Owner groups to the list so it displays owners instead of Admins in the view admins online list.

All you've done is change the command. I understand you've given credit, but anyone with half a brain can do what you've done. Personally, I've modified helpmenu 4-5 times.

Nice work, this is exactly what I wanted, without the extras.

Good job.

It only displays online admins.

"but anyone with half a brain can do what you've done" I clearly said this was my first attempt, And I have no past experience with any form of coding what so ever. I am surprised I was able to understand it enough to even do exactly what I have done.

"I've modified helpmenu 4-5 times" No need to big mouth yourself here.

Look I know what I have done to it, But what I need is help from people who have more experience so I can actually change this into something that is not so similar to the plugin I originally edited.

Sorry man, not trying to big mouth myself here. The original author explained how to do it in the comments.

Also, I suck at coding, I just used the find function to find the word helpmenu and replaced it with what I need to change it to.

This isn't TF2 specific just like the original one wasn't either.
