SoD Settings

Description

Players don't want to memorize cvar names for every plugin on the server. They want a standard, graphical interface. No thinking involved. Just type "settings" and go.

This plugin handles the settings standardization. Other plugins can hook into the settings menu and add their own customizable text and menu callbacks.

Two instructive example plugins are included to demonstrate the plugin's capabilities.

Setup & Upgrade

Unzip sodsettings.zip to your game directory.

Commands

sm_settings - Displays the settings menu.

Say "settings" to see the settings menu.

Credits

The SourceMod team and everyone whose plugins I reviewed to learn SourcePawn.

Changelog

3/03/2008 - Version 1.0.0 -
Plugin release.

CS:S only?

This really seems like something that ought to come with SM as a standard and plugin authors to be encouraged to develop their plugins with this in mind.

Great idea!

[FrostbyteX]

No, it works for all mods. Forgot to set it!

It is planned, just hasn't eventuated yet

pRED, that plugin was all back-end storage of settings. This is just a GUI. You could easily combine them to make an all-encompassing preferences plugin, though. That's a neat idea.

How would I make a simple plugin for this, so that when a player chooses a menu option it triggers a chat message? I.E. A player chooses the 'website' option from the menu, which triggers the player to say 'website' which would then trigger the webshortcuts plugin to bring up the website.

I can make the options appear in the menu, but I can't figure out how to make them do what I would like.

Any help much appreciated!

Hook the "OnSettingsChanged" forward and then call GetMenuItem to get information about the menu item selected. This forward gets called for all menu items; if you just want to announce for the items you added, then check the ID of the menu item, as shown in the examples.

I'm about to release some plugins that use this, so if you need more examples, they are coming.
