How hard would an auto-observe script be to make for this? I mentioned a ways back but....would that be cool? Like in mani, the chasecam locks onto someone specific and follows them displaying their steamid/name and when they respawn from death, the cam locks back onto them automatically.

Im not sure if thats hard to easy to do but, that is one thing sm admin lacks. I wish they had that feature in tf2 also. It would be nice to have a plugin that did that for all orangebox games.

Just an idea.

exactly i'm using "dod_tms_autobalance 2", so it's intended to be designed as an initiative team balance call right?

while it's believed as a backup request calling within combat, ohoo, no only by my players but also by me.

since it is meant to be, what about adding some screen hints to avoid some understanding confusion, such as, "number of allies(axis) players is now less then the opposite, we need you to join the weak if you heard the acoustical calling...", something like that

I'm not sure about how hard that would be, i'll look into it and add it to the secretspectate addon.
i know how it would be done with AMXX, so i'll see if that's portable to SM
or if it has to be done a totally different way.

I'll keep you updated!

there's already a hint on the screen that says "Team X is in advantage! Please balance the teams!" the same time the "i need backup" voice of the other team is played.

if that's not the case, please let me know!

Great plugins by the way, finally an afk manager we can actually use, the others kept kicking campers...lol, lots of terrific functionality. One thing that would be really nice is if we could limit access (or shutoff if that's easier) the menu items. Since the plugin automatically moves people, I'd rather not give this ability to a lot of my admins. The encourage and spec is fine for everyone, just would be nice to limit the others to higher, more responsible admins.

Well all you gotta do if you dont want any of the menu items, is just not load the playerteammenu plugin. The spec plugin is separate, and will load its own menu.(I think). Just put the playerteammenu plugin in disabled or delete.

Remember, you dont have to load every plugin he includes. I only load 4 of them on our server.

I'll see if i can implement a more advanced rights management,
so you can assign different features to different access levels,
will porbably be in the next major update.
ETA upcomming weekend

Yes, that's correct.
The SecretSpectate Addon creates it's own menu item, all Addons
are independent from each other.

well, voice can really be heard but the word hint seems nowhere, can do some check?

p.s. there's no more error spam in my sourcemod logs, my server now seems to be as stable as before(no crash for more than 3 days), thanks for your quick fix~

That's strange, I'll check that and will add a normal text message as well
in the upcomming version.

Talking of the upcomming version:
I have just been inspired for a new addon while playing on a server......
3 guys were spamming their VoiceCommands and every second you
heard either "Drop your Weapons!", "Enemy behind us!" or "I need Ammo!"...
That bothered me enough to include a new Addon in the upcomming release that allows you to limit the amount of VoiceCommand usage per Round! (like always: Admins can be Immune to that limit)

Stay tuned!

  * added standard text message for Mode "2"
  to avoid confusion!
  - Changes - ClanTag Protection Addon:
  * fixed Multilanguage-Support!
  - Changes - Player/Team Menu Addon:

  can be sure the targeted player will die, no matter
  if he's in his SpawnArea or not!
  * MixTeams feature now automatically mixes the half of
  each team's players
  * fixed Player Swap menus opening too fast again after

  - Changes - Player/Team Menu Addon:
  * Changed MixTeams feature to automatically
  mix half of the players per Team!

  each round which includes the info which team won,
  time needed to win the round and casualties on both
  teams in that round.
  (see new CVar "dod_tms_roundendteamstats")
  - NEW ADDON: Anti-VoiceCommandSpam!
  * You can be sure now that public players will not spam VoiceCommands!

It's highly recommended to update the Base plugin and ALL Addons
that you are using and then COMPLETELY reboot your server!

After updating please delete the plugin config files in the folder
"\orangebox\dod\cfg\dod_teammanager_sourc e\" manually or
use the DoD TeamManager Source menu -> "Plugin Commands" -> "Recreate Plugin config files" and restart the map to get the latest
CVars within your config files!
