Server Rules on Request (2.2.2.0 - 2015-03-031)
Description
Server Rules on Request provides an in-game command which allowes the players to request the server rules. You define the text to be displayed in the plugin settings. The in-game command is also registered with the BasicInGameInfo plugin and can be requested by using the help command of that plugin.
The option for a welcome message is 1:1 conversion.
It is left in for compatibility reasons and will be droped in a later version. You may test if it fits your needs but I advice you to use for example the onSpawn message of my Admin Announcer & onSpawn Message plugin.
The method here is a bit unsecure because if a player does not spawn during the time period you set with the delay he does not see the message.
Note
This plugin checks for admin status.
A user is an admin if his playername can be matched against a procon account name and this account has any privilege. The smallest possible privilege is to be able to login to the layer.
If a player is detected as admin (see above) using the rules command with the global command scope the output is send to all users.
Installation Instructions
Please refer to the download section down below.
Configuration
The settings should be self explaining.
Data done in the abandoned plugin should be noticed and used by this plugin automatically.
With 2.1.0.0 the plugin is able to respond to a request of a dedicated rule. To support your users it is a good idea to
prefix your rules with numbers like
Please follow our rules:
[1] the admin has the last word
[2] no cheats / hacks
[3] no baserape
[4] no killing for vehicles
If you use a first line like in the example above set the "Ignore first line" to Yes. If a user requests rule number 3 he will get the one prefixed with [3] otherwise it would be rule number [2].
