There's this fancy thing I didn't know about when I was a mere player, but i set up my server to use it. Since I didn't know about it, I'm guessing a lot of other people don't also...so I need help telling the other people. There's this little advertisement plugin, and I plan on using that to tell people...so I have to be pretty concise in my explanation.

See, if enabled on a server, if you go to use team chat (hit u by default), and then start what you're going to say with a @, it sends chat to all the admins. Do you think: "hit 'u' and type @<message> to speak with an admin" would be clear to the average user?

I guess that make sense. Are you sure it needs to be in team chat? I think it works in regular chat too. In which case, you can just do "Type '@<message>' to speak with an admin".

We're all admins around here so it's kind of unnecessary around here. Also, I have that advertisements plugin too but I hate getting spammed with messages all the time so I use it very sparingly.

@ in regular chat (if done by an admin) goes to (ALL), and @ in team chat (if typed by anyone) goes to (ADMIN)...last time I checked (yesterday)...

your settings may be different, I have this in my sourcemod.cfg:

Code: Select all

// Specifies whether or not non-admins can send messages to admins using
// say_team @<message>. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)
// --
// Requires: basechat.smx
// Default: 1
sm_chat_mode 1

Yeah, you're probably right.
