Often if a single admin is on the server, it can be difficult to monitor player voice comms for racial/language issues on the opposing team, without turning on all talk. AdminSentinel allows admins to listen to the opposing team's voice comms.

Admin chat also pulls in some code from PRed*'s sm_super_commands plugin. This one, however, allows admins the opportunity to turn it on or off, individually.

The plugin has its own menu called "Comms Commands".

Includes War Mode: this allows an Admin with ADM_FLAG_CUSTOM5 permissions to turn off the chat/comms features for any admins without this flag. For example, if you are running a tournament, and the referee/umpire has ADMFLAG_CUSTOM5, any playing Admin that does not have ADMFLAG_CUSTOM5 will have their comms/see all chat abilities turned off. This will ensure that Admins are playing fairly during a competition, if they are not refereeing.

Credit to PRed*

Huge massive thank you to 166MMX for his work figuring out SetClientListening and why it didn't work

Since the built-in forum compiler will not create a correctly compiled version, I have included an update to sdktools_voice.inc which can be placed in the scripts/inc folder to help you compile the .sp

Suggested bind for Admin Only voice channel (add to autoexec.cfg in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\ACCOUNTNAME\game folder\game\cfg)

alias "+admintalk" "admin_voice 1; +voicerecord"
alias "-admintalk" "-voicerecord; admin_voice 0;"
bind "x" "+admintalk"

Thanks, I hate when I cant switch to the other team to hear them cause its full.

How would you suggest I add this to my admin menu, or if you can in the code thats also nice since its hard to remember a lot of commands, its not published in sm_help either I dont think.

Works great, in future releases a toggle in the admin menu would be nice.

[strontiumdog]

OK...good idea.
Let me look at it for the next update.

[sirmoe]

Running it on 13 servers here, so far works great

Yeah, please implement this into the admin menu. Thanks for a nice plugin

By the way, will sm_enemyvoice toggle on/off for every admin, or just the admin who executed the command?

[strontiumdog]

Just the admin who executed the command.

What an ace plugin

Although I'd be using it to find out where the n00bs are rushing on the next round, so I can P90 the suckers, oops did I type that
