Description:
"Maps shedule" is a small plugin that provides a list of maps genereated by shedule via fake native function. You can use it for map choosing, for example.

Usage:
Here is an example of configs/maps_shedule.ini:

; de_dust2 will be available 24 hours
[ 00:00:00 - 00:00:00 ] 
de_dust2

; Other maps only from 07:00 to 23:00
[ 07:00:00 - 23:00:00 ]
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_train

/* Returns a list of maps by shedule.
 * buff      - Map names buffer.
 * maps[]    - Positions of map names in the buffer.
 * &count    - Number of maps returned.
 * rand      - Return available maps in random order.
 * limit     - Limit number of maps to return.
 * tsec      - Time in seconds from midnight. Default value will return maps for current time. 
 * current   - Return current map. 
 * return    - Time before next update.*/
native mapsh_maps( buff[], maps[], &count = -1, rand = 0, limit = -1, tsec = -1, current = 0 );

Example usage:

#include <mapsh_shedule>
#define MAP(%1) buff[map[%1]]

new buff[256], map[8], count;

mapsh_maps(buff, map, count);
    
for( new i = 0; i < count; i++)
    log_amx( "%d. %s", i + 1, MAP(i) );

Output:

1. de_dust2
2. de_inferno
3. de_nuke
4. de_train

Commands:
amx_mapsh - prints the whole shedule to console.
amx_mapsh now - prints only currently available maps.
amx_mapsh at "%H:%M" - prints maps available at the given time. ( with quotes )



Changelog:
0.1.3 - Another bug fixed.
0.1.2 - Current map is not returned by default anymore.
0.1.1 - Refactoring, bugs fixed.
0.1.0 - Release

Owwwwwwwww, nice idea but, this scared be bejesus of me:

    new t, t1, t2, p, p1, sz = 0;

So, why so much abbreviations / acronyms?

In Amx Mod X Pawn, you have until 31 characters to have fun given names to things.

//Build a group of maps for a given time.
tarr(arr[TNUM], opt[2], tsec = 0)
...
secfrommid()
...
contains(arr[MAX_GROUP], sz, n){    
...
new sh_curr[TNUM], sh_opt[2];
...
#define STRL 64
#define STRM 32
#define STRS 16
#define TNUM 16   //max groups allowed
#define TASK_ID 15658734 

So, when I call tar(...), I 'Build a group of maps for a given time.', uhum, I think I got it.

Then instead of write that commentary 'TNUM 16 //max groups allowed', give a more descriptive name like 'MAX_GROUPS_ALLOWED'. If the problem is because you do not want to write so much, use a IDE/Editor with auto complete as notepad++.

Hey, do not declare variables within for. Declare them out of it, unless they are static:

    
    for(new i = 0; i < maps; i++){
        new map[STRM];    
...
    for(new i = 0; i < opt[0]; i++){
        new idx = tm[i];
        new count = sh_time[idx][3] - sh_time[idx][2];
        if(mmax != -1)
            count = count < mmax ? count : mmax;        
        
        new map_ids[MAX_GROUP], sz = 0;   
        for(j = 0; j < count; j++){
            new n = j;      
            if(rand){            
                do{     
                    idx = tm[random_num(0, opt[0])];
                    n = random_num(0, count);    
                } while(contains(map_ids, sz, n + idx * 10000) >= 0);
                map_ids[sz++] = n + idx * 10000;
            } 
            ArrayGetString(sh_maps, sh_time[idx][2] + n, buff, STRM);
            new l = strlen(buff);

Thanks for reply! That is my first plugin and I know the code is kinda shitty.

You're welcome. Read entirely each of these links I posted, they will be very helpful. To easy things, here is a list:

2. Which abbreviations should we use for python variable names?
3. [TUT] Code Styling & Good Programming Habits
4. [FAQ] Whether to create variables inside/outside loops

Look also this code mime as example, it is very well named and documented:

Well, that'll take some time. Thanks again!
