I tested it. (the SourceBans Version) It does indeed work.

Moved 1.1 to the first post now that it's been tested.

Also, translations couldn't hurt if anyone wanted to submit them.

Today I got this error when a name changer came in:

If you were running version 1.0.1 or earlier, likely this is the bug that I fixed in 1.0.2.

I suspect this is the case because of the client index number in the error message... 544104770 is the same client index reported by uncivil back on the first page.

Good work with this name changing algorithm. This is more or less what I had come up minus the lot of useful features and cvars. One thing I would suggest is before calling KickClient is to check if they're in the kick client queue; this is one plugin where that might matter since the events will fire so close to each other.

Also, if this is more to stop name change scripts and abuse, another thing I would suggest is to not broadcast the name change event if the player is dead. That way alive players aren't distracted even if the name change falls within the threshold. Similarly, if the user is gagged then it wouldn't publish a name change at all.

Good point. I'll add that in the next version

I was under the impression that player_changename was an informative event and can't be blocked. I could change it to a Pre event and find out, I suppose...

Your impressions are 100% correct and this event is no exception. This would just make users need to go to the scoreboard to find this information instead of having it broadcast 'xxx changed name to yyy' in the game.

Please do a sourcebans free edition. We some lamers never not use that.
Thanks

Sourcebans is an optional dependency. This plugin should work whether you have it or not... it just won't compile without sourcebans.inc.
