im not sure how or if you can modify the scoreboard.. would be nice tho..nnwhat i do for my server tho.. is i have the name & team change messages blocked for me.. so I can change my name and join spec without ppl noticing it.. at least noticing it as easily :-)nni use THIS plugin to hide the msgs

This thing allows you to type in console: gospecrnand it automatically puts you in spectators with no message. I tried removing the score board part but it would take a while to get it going.

diamond cnt u edit ur plugin to where instead of saying Admin with Flag a joined spec to Saying ADMIN LEFT THE GAME where in reality u went to spec?

well that wouldnt really fit in with the plugin...nnbut to make my own msgs lol.. i use a plugin (might be part of amx_slash or something) that adds the "/me" function of IRC to dod.. so i can type "/me has left the game" and it will print "diamond-optic has left the game"

I have one called emote that does exactly that, I found it on the amxmodx forums.rnrnI type /emote has left the game and it prints out:rnTupinambis has left the game..rnrnrnDo a search over there for that if you are interested.

I tried this plugin and works great.

Wilson got a good start going there, I will see if I can find anything to help and post later on tonight, this could be a great tool for keeping an eye on unit/clan members, as well as those aggravating hackers.

hey wilson.. what about sending like a PTeam message after joining spec.. would that keep you on 'spectators' but show your name on whatever team you passed thru the message?

Actually that just may work. PTeam usually does more than you'd like it to do, but in a situation like this it may work. Or just blocking it in the first place.

So just keep you in the scoreboard on some team but you stay in spec?rnrnI like it.rnrnSimilar to admin_spectate_esp, but without all the extra coding to render the lines, specific users, etc.rnrnPossibly we could simply borrow some of that code to do the hiding?

I noticed the flag for admin use with this plugin is H.rnI dont give any other admins the the config flag.rnWhen i try to compile this with any other flag besides H, I get errors and it won't compile. Is there a way to give all my admins the power to use it.rnrn// Define admin level is required here (third part)rn#define INVISIBILE_ADMIN ADMIN_LEVEL_H

Make sure the flag you replace it with exists...rnI.e. Use ADMIN_KICK, not ADMIN_LEVEL_KICK (which I once almost did),rnTry ADMIN_LEVEL_A.rnThere's no reason, code-wise why that wouldn't work.rnrnAlso, as a note, in a previous thread, someone had suggested that sometimes amx drops that flag (which is the "t" flag in users.ini) and so it's often a better idea not to use it, for that reason, I'd say try ADMIN_LEVEL_C, which I've never had issues with, or any other one for that matter. Good luck. Post more specific compiling results if you have errors again.

here's all of them:nn

#define ADMIN_ALL 0 /* everyone */n#define ADMIN_IMMUNITY (1<<0) /* flag "a" */n#define ADMIN_RESERVATION (1<<1) /* flag "b" */n#define ADMIN_KICK (1<<2) /* flag "c" */n#define ADMIN_BAN (1<<3) /* flag "d" */n#define ADMIN_SLAY (1<<4) /* flag "e" */n#define ADMIN_MAP (1<<5) /* flag "f" */n#define ADMIN_CVAR (1<<6) /* flag "g" */n#define ADMIN_CFG (1<<7) /* flag "h" */n#define ADMIN_CHAT (1<<8) /* flag "i" */n#define ADMIN_VOTE (1<<9) /* flag "j" */n#define ADMIN_PASSWORD (1<<10) /* flag "k" */n#define ADMIN_RCON (1<<11) /* flag "l" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_A (1<<12) /* flag "m" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_B (1<<13) /* flag "n" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_C (1<<14) /* flag "o" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_D (1<<15) /* flag "p" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_E (1<<16) /* flag "q" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_F (1<<17) /* flag "r" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_G (1<<18) /* flag "s" */n#define ADMIN_LEVEL_H (1<<19) /* flag "t" */n#define ADMIN_MENU (1<<20) /* flag "u" */n#define ADMIN_ADMIN (1<<24) /* flag "y" */n#define ADMIN_USER (1<<25) /* flag "z" */

ADMIN_CHAT is generally the clan-wide access flag that all "admins" have on a server... ADMIN_KICK is probably the next best choice...

Thank you all, all three posts helped me out.

More thoughts on PTeam?

Ok ive been working alot just recently but i will get this finnished asap and also if someone could give me back my right to post attachements so i can post it up when im done nnregardsnnBlobby

pretty sure you should be able to post attachments in the 'non-developer plugins' forum.. but if not let me know and ill look into it

well for one.. this isnt right:n

new p_me_spec = get_pcvar_num(p_me_spec)

new cvarValue = get_pcvar_num(p_me_spec)

if(get_pcvar_num(p_me_spec) == 1)n     {n      .......n

@blobbyrnrni quickly made a "prototype" of the plugin for you that includesrnblocking of the text message when admins rejoin a team.rnrnit also includes a check for your new cvar as i assumed that it shouldrnturn on/off the plugin.rnrnjust take a look at it.

Wow nice one feuersturm m8 im getting better at this plugin writing slowly but surely i will release this one as it stands now for those who want it and i will also add you name to the copyright code as you have helped me from day 1 with thisnnThanks and regardsnnBlobby

Ok i have relesed this in non developers plugins feed back would be greatrnrnRegardsrnrnBlobby
