[REQ] Admin Identifiers/Denoters to All Menus

bucnoi · **Author**

I have two requests/suggestions for the menus in AMX Mod X. I think it would be useful to have a marker to denote ADMINS in the menus. Like for instance if we bring up the Kick or Ban menus, it would be nice to have a marker denoting a player as admins.
Example:
Kick Menu
1. Player 1
2. Player 2 @
3. Player 3

Here the @ would denote and indentify Player 2 as an admin, so other admins will know not to kick them (etc.) and thus avoid pissing each other off without knowing they were admins using different names. This is similar to what they had in ClanMod.

Another one I have (others have probably suggested this before) is the availability of and Unban Menu right after the Ban Menu. I think it would be useful if this were available, the list would have a list of all the STEAMIDs and IPs banned from the server. It would make unbans pretty simple, another feature of ClanMod.

I think these additions to the features of an already great AMX Mod X will make it even better.

And what if non-admin player's name is "Player 2 @"?
Well, you can mark "@" with other color, but not all game mods support that feature.

What about to color it somehow? or admins will just have na immunity to kicks.

Yea the "@" marker for admins could be a different color from the names of the players listed in the menus. They can be the same color as the titles of each menu (yellowish/orange?) when you enter into them. But I doubt most players use a name with an "@" sign at the end of their names which are spaced apart from from the rest.

Okay, the request concerning the admin identifier has been added to the CVS.

As for your second request with the unban menu, this will not be added for three reasons:
1) The banned.cfg could be potentially huge and parsing it would be a problem if it is large
2) The banned.cfg file is not necessarily named the same thing on every server
3) AMXBans is probably better for this sort of thing anyways
