From the first post

This is based off of an idea from irc bots, but also there's a source mod plugin that exists to do this, but I've found no amxx equivalent.

nWhat the plugin does:
nthe plugin is basically a dictionary - users can store, look up, delete and re-define terms.
nfor example, if you wanted to have your clan website stored, you can define it, and users can look it up.
nThe plugin allows for both console commands and say commands.
n
n

Commands:ndict_lookup - displays a term's definitionndict_define - defines a new termndict_redefine - redefines an existing termndict_delete - deletes a termndict_list - lists all terms in consolennSay Commands:n? - displays definition (looks up)n!define - definesn!redefine - redefinesn!delete - deletesn!undefine - deletesn!list - lists in console

max term length is 31 chars, max def. length is 63 - resize arrays if you want more. All commands support multi-word terms and definitions as long as you use quotes, except looking up multi-word terms which does not require quotes.
n
nExamples:
n!define "dod plugins" "dodplugins.net for all your dod plugin needs!"
ndod plugins? [this will print a message to the server displaying dod plugins = dodplugins.net ...]
n(see source for exact message format / wording)
n
nthis requires you to create a .ini file in your /configs folder to hold the info. terms and definitions are separated by a * if you wish to pre-make a list (i.e.
ndod plugins*dodplugins.net ... - the name of this file can be changed along with the access levels for various commands in the #define section.
n
n
nFinal note... as of this release (v 1.2), the delete function simply replaces the line with a blank character. If anyone knows how to delete a line so that the file doesn't have blank lines (it doesn't really matter, it's just unnecessary), please let me know! Plugin is well tested and stable, I've had no problems and been messing with it for at least a week.
n
nComments, etc. welcome. Questions too if this was a bad explanation.

Haha, it makes me really happy.nI will eventually get it just right, but it's a lot of fun, and great for getting people info since they often accidentally lookup something, or have repeated questions. i.e. weapons mod, etc heh
