Introduction: This is a fun admin plugin which allows admins to create beacons of many different colors around players. It even features a custom beacon which allows an admin to choose its color based on its RGB values.

Features:
-Neat user interface.
-9 Preset Beacon Colors (Blue, Cyan, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White and Yellow)
-1 Customizable Beacon (Able to set RGB values of 0 to 255 for each basic color, as well as the alpha)
-Able to decide whether plugin displays public messages when beaconing

Configuration and Adding Admins:
For configurating admin access, use the admin files in your cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs
The default flag for authorizing admins to use Super Beacon is the flag alphabet "c" (which is ADMFLAG_KICK). Simply give an admin the flag "c" and he will be able to use the Super Beacon menu.

Changing the Admin Flag:
For configurating the below, you need to edit the sourcecode. Use Notepad or PawnStudio.
If you would like to change the admin flag alphabet:
If you are using Notepad, click Edit on top, then click Replace. under Find What, type ADMFLAG_KICK. Under Replace With, type the flag name (not the alphabet) that you want to change to. Then click Replace All.
If you are using Pawn Studio, click Search on top, then click Replace, under Search For, type ADMFLAG_KICK. Under Replace With, type the flag name (not the alphabet) that you want to change to. Then click Replace It.
Here are some admin flag names you might want.
ADMFLAG_GENERIC = b
ADMFLAG_SLAY = f
ADMFLAG_CUSTOM1 = o
ADMFLAG_CUSTOM2 = p
ADMFLAG_CUSTOM3 = q
ADMFLAG_CUSTOM4 = r

This is not a place to advertise your servers; it's labeled "New Plugins" and that's all it should be for.

I also don't see a download link/attachment.

sorry i forgot to attach it lol, my bad
and
I never received any warnings about placing a small advertisement at the bottom of each plugin I submitted, and I see no rules about this.

actually, you can use admin_overrides.cfg to override the admin command you made to whatever flag...

Overrides
{
"sbeacon" "d"
}

That should override the use of this plugin to be for admins with the ban flag, right?

Instead of this:

but I haven't tested your plugin yet, so I can't say for sure - just looked through the code and saw you registered admins command "sbeacon" to admflag_kick

Will try it out when I'm free and update my post if it works. Thanks

I just try this plugin, but I can't use it...

Possible to give access to this beacon to all players and delete the admin authentification ?

Hey,

your plugin contains wrong usage of string arrays as you're writing arbitrary values to the memory outside of your allocated variables (buffer overflow). Just look at your BeaconPrefix variable. It has a size of 32 but you're using StrCat as if it was a buffer of size 64. This will cause strange problem and possible errors if a client has a name too long, since you'll be writing the end of the player name on other variables (I'd guess BeaconYellow).

Also please remove FCVAR_REPLICATED as it can produce errors in client consoles.

You could also remove a loooooooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooO OOOoot of code by using loops/functions and modifying only what you need to change in a string... please do so as your plugin size is unreasonable for what it gives. (Note to approver Reading/Coding @ "Rules and Guidelines for Plugin Approvers")

Also it would be nice to precache stuff OnMapStart instead of right before (you only need to do it once). Same thing with FindConVar. You also don't always need a buffer for the client's name... just use %N. This happened many time. You also don't need FCVAR_NOTIFY on non-version convar. You're also possibly having multiple beacons at the same time on the same player, which could be avoided.

Last paragraph is optional, but the rest needs to be modified for approval.

EDIT : No change over 2 weeks; unapproving.
