I think server ops would be more inclined to try out plugins if they knew what they looked like. I know I'm a bit hesitant at times because an author might describe a plugin as best as possible, and hope that the combination of the title and the description is enough to let people know what the plugin does, and looks like.. but in all honesty it doesn't do as good a job as a simple picture can.nI'm sure you all know that old addage... "A picture is worth a thousand words"... i take it to be very true in this respect and hope that you all take a quick momment to and take a quick screen capture.nnIf you don't like editing the bmp files that the HalfLife engine uses when it takes gi-nourmous full-screen screen-shots then I highly suggest using a third party app like Hypersnap (it has great hot-key functionality and a built in editor) and run a quick game in "window mode".nHypersnap is an app that you might have to get in your not-so usual places (its not free), but you know, i'm sure there are other apps out there that are freeware that can do the same.nnWhat do you guys think?nnI'll do my part and take screen captures of Firestorm's and Zor's plugins that I have installed in my servers, if you guys could just take care of your own plugins we could start a great trend on these forums and hopefully attract the more "cautious" but curious players.

well of course, that's when you have to use discretion and chose the one/s that can give out the best idea of what your plugin does.
