i'm not so great as you, because i do not have written such a great extension
for me this extension is more usefull than geocity inc, because it allows to easily update geolitecity database

Hey and thanks for a useful extension. I like how it trades a bit extra memory for huge speed improvements. I tried to add this to a L4D2-server now, and it seems to work fine, I see messages in server console regarding both GeoIP and GeoIPCity. My problem is that neither {PLAYERREGION} nor {PLAYERCITY} yields any output. My question is what do I check, where do I start debugging?

from cannounce_settings.txt, admins block:
"playerjoin" "{GREEN}{PLAYERNAME} {DEFAULT}({LIGHTGREEN}{PLAYERTYPE}{DEFAULT}) connected from {GREEN}{PLAYERCOUNTRY} {DEFAULT}({LIGHTGREEN}{PLAYERCITY}-{PLAYERREGION}{DEFAULT})"

This gives a line like this: "... from France (-)"

Any hints appreciated. Thanks.

For some players (IP addresses) it will not return a result for the city or region because it's simply not in the database. Try testing it with other players joining the server to see if shows the city.

You can also try the !geolist command to confirm this.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Having tested some more, I see it works fine as you describe. I'm just nitpicking here, I find it a bit annoying that the symbols I've created around the city+region are left without content, would prefer to be able to remove those as well... maybe an IFCITY and IFREGION.. so if no city found, remove the entire content of IFCITY:
{IFCITY}{DEFAULT}({GREEN}{PLAYERCITY}{DEFAULT }){/IFCITY}

I might edit the .sp myself to do what I want, I just wanted to air the opinion in case you'd like to take on the challenge.

This would be something you could add in yourself. The modified plugin that I posted is only there as an example for the extension.

I made a few changes to this plugin. If you have {PLAYERCITY}, {PLAYERCOUNTRY} or {PLAYERREGION}, {PLAYERCOUNTRY} in cannounce_messages and the player's city or region can't be found, it will print:

Player has connected from , USA.

I made it so it removed the space and the comma and just leaves the country.

Player has connected from USA.

Please do not post plugins without the matching source code.

Fair enough.

Changes

if (StrContains(rawmsg, "{PLAYERCITY}") != -1 )
{
ReplaceString(rawmsg, sizeof(rawmsg), "{PLAYERCITY}", city);

if ( StrEqual(city, "") )
{
//strip comma
ReplaceString(rawmsg, sizeof(rawmsg), ", ", "");
}
}

if (StrContains(rawmsg, "{PLAYERREGION}") != -1 )
{
ReplaceString(rawmsg, sizeof(rawmsg), "{PLAYERREGION}", region);

if ( StrEqual(region, "") )
{
//strip comma
ReplaceString(rawmsg, sizeof(rawmsg), ", ", "");
}
}

Note - You must download GeoIPCity and place the header file in your includes file when you compile it.
