do you still show as on a team when someone joins the server? Reason I ask is if someone that knows you happens to join and asks why your on spec, wouldn't that give it away?

you could add a check if the player is alive when he uses the commandrnand deny it if he isn't, that should solve the problem.

looks good, i'll definitely give it a shot if i start running a server again.

Props to you sir...:)

Your the man Blobby, Very nice work ;)

Started using this plugin recently , and i must say its absolutely fantastic.rnrnA definate MUST HAVE for server admins.

Evidently there is a bug with this where if you go mespec after you died while playing, you can end up in the opposite teams spawn. One of my members has the details, check your code, he said it was an easy fix.rnrn I was just told about it so I will try to give you more info as soon as I know. Again this is a bug, not an error. Other than this, it is a very usefull plugin, thanks Blobby.

Im having some trouble "defining my admin level". When it says admin level H does this mean I can add the custom level "h" to the users i wish to use this in users.ini? Any help would be appreciated, thanks alot in advance guysrnrnEquinox<^|SiNz|^>

Just installed, works a treat. Nice job Blobby! :Prnrn+Karma :P

So, I gave one member full admin to the server (same level as mine) and had him test the mespec plugin. He was unable to use it. He had access flags a-u and after typing "mespec" into his console, was told that he did not have access to that command. I checked to make sure I set his access flags correctly, and I did. Is there any help or advice for this? rnrnThanks guys,rnrnOxrnrnp.s. new version of vBulletin looks nice!

nice job blooby i like it works good for me

Ok Blobby, sorry I have not replied here sooner. the bug with your plugin is, if you type mespec in consol after you die while playing, and submit the command right before you spawn, you can spawn in the opposite teams spawn as one of them, and get killed by them counting as a team kill.

If you're still having problems with death, check if the user is alive before specing them - either put this in with the cvar check, or be sneaky and put it before the team switch, and just have an event that catches spawn, and if you're supposed to be specing, it'll switch you automatically.nThat's a little more complicated than the 2 minutes I'm taking to post this - but the fix would simply be to find the linen

if(get_pcvar_num(p_me_spec)==1)

if(get_pcvar_num(p_me_spec)==1&&is_user_alive(id)==1)

||is_user_alive(id)==0

Ah, forgot feedback - works well, I don't particularly need it and I modified it a bit beyond what I actually should've, but it worked great! Excellent plugin for admins!

OK, I must be a nitwit or something. What exactly does "Make sure you define your admin level where you see this line on the sma file" mean? rnrn1) Define how? or To what? Am I modifying the sma file to reflect something else? rnrn2) Or is my "definition" supposed to be elsewhere?rnrnMy user.ini file reads this:rnrn; Users configuration filern; File location: $moddir/addons/amxmodx/configs/users.inirnrn; Line starting with ; is a commentrnrn; Access flags:rn; a - immunity (can't be kicked/baned/slayed/slapped and affected by other commmands)rn; b - reservation (can join on reserved slots)rn; c - amx_kick commandrn; d - amx_ban and amx_unban commandsrn; e - amx_slay and amx_slap commandsrn; f - amx_map commandrn; g - amx_cvar command (not all cvars will be available)rn; h - amx_cfg commandrn; i - amx_chat and other chat commandsrn; j - amx_vote and other vote commandsrn; k - access to sv_password cvar (by amx_cvar command)rn; l - access to amx_rcon command and rcon_password cvar (by amx_cvar command)rn; m - custom level A (for additional plugins)rn; n - custom level Brn; o - custom level Crn; p - custom level Drn; q - custom level Ern; r - custom level Frn; s - custom level Grn; t - custom level Hrn; u - menu accessrn; z - user (no admin)rnrn; Account flags:rn; a - disconnect player on invalid passwordrn; b - clan tagrn; c - this is steamid/wonidrn; d - this is iprn; e - password is not checked (only name/ip/steamid needed)rnrn; Password:rn; Add to your autoexec.cfg: setinfo _pw "<password>"rn; Change _pw to the value of amx_password_fieldrnrn; Format of admin account:rn; <name|ip|steamid> <password> <access flags> <account flags>rnrn; Examples of admin accounts:rn; "STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"rn; "123.45.67.89" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "de"rn; "My Name" "my_password" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"rnrnrnrn"STEAM_0:1:17790757" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"rnrnrn; "loopback" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "de"rnrnrnWhen I use the command via bind (bind "F4" "say /mespec"), it shows:rnrn"You have no access to that command"rnrnWhen I type in console amx_who it shows:rnrnGunsOfNavarone STEAM_0:1:17790757 10 Yes Yes abcdefghijklmnopqrsurnrnIs this plugin blocking my "t" access, because it doesn't show as indicated above (...pqrsu)?!?

Look inside the sma (source) file. Read line 22 and 23 might help ya..

At the moment it is set for flag t.rnrnWhat you do is download the sma file. Open it with any text editor (wordpad or notepad is ok). Now you look for this line:rnrn

// Define your admin level it is required below ADMIN_LEVEL_H is a custom level//rn#define INVISIBILE_ADMIN ADMIN_LEVEL_H

// Define your admin level it is required below ADMIN_LEVEL_H is a custom level//rn#define INVISIBILE_ADMIN ADMIN_LEVEL_G

Thank you so very much for the direct response. I guess my "real" problem is elsewhere.rnrnAs I indicated "t" is clearly defined within the user.ini file. So, somewhere along the line, the server is blocking it or simply not recognizing it as was indicated by the response from the amx_who command.rnrnIf I read your response correctly, since "t" was defined in my user.ini file, then I shouldn't have to modify the existing code at all.rnrnThank you again for your reply. Now I've got to figure out what's causing the "t" flag to not be recognized.

I'm sorry, I clearly didn't read your post properly. I'll load this plugin on my test server and see if I have the same issue.

I have found my problem (sort of) and a work around.rnrnFirst, it's not the plugin. With the plugin remarked out, and the server restarted, when I enter amx_who it STILL does not show the "t" flag. This tells me it's something serverside that's interfering/ignoring the settings defined in the user.ini file.rnrnMy work around was to modify the cmdaccess.ini file. The last entry in it was for mespec which indicated the "t" flag. I simply (and arbitrarily) changed the flag to "g". It now works for me.rnrnSo, I have some serverside issues I need to contend to as I am finding out. So I've put in a support ticket.rnrnThank you for your help nonetheless.

How do you get the menu which allows you to turn items on/off. For example if I did not want to see how far away I can turn it off but I need the menu to do so. How do I get the menu up. I have looked through the files for a text doc to tell me this but can not find one. Would someone point me in the right direction?

I don't know if this happens for everyone with this plugin, but when I execute it from the console I can also get a menu which only comes up when I am in first person snd select a key to activate the menu. (I checked my config file and do not find a mespec menu assigned to the key I use) Once the menu comes up I can turn off/on such things as distance, name, weapon, etc. That is what I am asking. How do you assign a key to get the menu. I have checked all the files that came with mespec to see if it is explained, but no luck.

That must be another plugin.rnrnI looked at the code for this one and all it seems to do is force your team to spectator and block the chat message that is printed for changing teams
