If this is posted in the wrong section, apologies, please point me to where I should post it.rnrnGoodday,rnrnI figured since everyone always shares their plugins I do the same. However, my knowledge of coding and the knowledge of coding of people posting plugins I use is a difference between water and fire.rnrnHowever I would like to get some feedback on my coding style. What am I doing wrong and what could be better. I also notice everything is always hardcoded for me, hardly use pcvars and therefor I would also like to learn how I could code plugins so they are more for general use, not just for me.rnrn

It's fully multi-lingualrn making it a nice plugin for international servers/communities.rn rn Although it's basicly written for my own clan/server I think withrn some help it can be easily changed over to your needs. I tried torn alter the plugin as best I could to make it as general as possible.rn rn===========================================================rnServer Info - Features:rn=========================================================== rn - Fully multi-lingual supported (not all translated yet)rn rn===========================================================rnServer Info - To do:rn=========================================================== rn - Ask around for better information providing then just throughrn chat.

I always used GHC Custom Message plugin which did the same. However, the moment I open a MOTD (could be the huge amount of miles between me and my server) I could built a replica of an old war ship and still have time left before it opened.rnrnI also heared this complaints with others, so I figured to keep it as basic as possible. I also figured that pointing them to /baminfo with full language support would be quicker then trying as a Dutchy to explain in English to a spanish player who doesn't speak English that he can't shoot that ceiling with a bazooka.

I'll think I try what you posted on a different computer and a different internet connection and see if it's still slow. Some stuff just doesn't work for me and I never liked doing work which doesn't benefit me :DrnrnThanks for the advice, I'll surely look into that.

More work or not, I posted it to learn how to make this more versatile for everyone to use. Besides that I gladly learn new stuff.nnNew version should be up in a few. I'll post here to make sure I did it the right way. Im learning and slowly getting there but some extra checking never hurts.nnedit:nI adjusted the plugin:n- named the plugin from Tank's BAM Info to Tank's Server Info (and all the stuff related to BAM into server, also goes for the say commands).n- made the adjustment posted by ZornnIm working on changing the language file around so it doesn't show all info about my server but basicly general pointers on what that line should hold.nnAny idea if I can generalise this even more? Im kinda stuck on that due to the use of the menu's. The menu's titles, the menu items and the amount of client prints are all hardcoded.nnI have one question though, I checked this out:nvformat ( buffer[], len, const fmt[], vararg ) nnI know what len stands for but thats the only one. Can someone perhaps translate the short words to what they need to be, like wId is weaponindex, const fmt[] stands for constant....

Yes it does. Any idea where I can find information on those abbriviations (spelling)? I'm having a lot of difficulties with all the functions to implement them in the right way because I dont know what the abriviations stands for.rnrnEDIT:rnI finished the changes that needed to be done on the plugin however now it won't compile.rnrnThe changes I made were:rn
