PLAYER COMMAND! message="mr, 32, 1, axis, "
PLAYER COMMAND! message="mr, 32, 3, kar98k_mp, "
PLAYER COMMAND! message="mr, 32, 0, callvote, "
PLAYER COMMAND! message="callvote, tempBanUser, kung, "

So using this I can grab which name the players select on the feeder list? What if two players use the same name? Can't do something like a custom ban menu because you risk banning the wrong person.

You can just rename or kick people with the same name. E.g. a loop which is constantly checking for same names (using a []-hashmap and checking if the name/key isDefined() already). Maybe somebody knows such script and can post here. It should track the time of the names, so the new names get kicked and not the old.

Well i'v been working on a way to alert players why they were kicked when having a duplicate name.

I'm trying to create a custom kick message using stock localized strings for language reasons.

I'v managed to do this:

		itemDef 
		{
			name			line1
			//text			"Server Disconnected - Player kicked."
			text			"@EXE_SERVERDISCONNECTREASON"
			//type			ITEM_TYPE_MULTI
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		.25
			style			UI_BUTTON_STYLE
			textstyle		UI_BUTTON_TEXT_STYLE
			rect			65 37 100 15
			textalign		1
			textalignx		51		// center
			textaligny		11
			decoration
			backcolor		UI_BUTTON_BACK_COLOR
			forecolor		UI_BUTTON_TEXT_COLOR
			visible			1
			dvar			"serv_kicked"
			//dvarFloatList		{ "@EXE_PLAYERKICKED" 0 }
		}

As you can see - "&&1" is showing. I know how to set/use the "&&1" with iprintln/iprintlnbold but not menus.

I'v tried using "dvarFloatList" but it produced:

		itemDef 
		{
			name			line1
			//text			"Server Disconnected - Player kicked."
			text			"@EXE_SERVERDISCONNECTREASON"
			type			ITEM_TYPE_MULTI
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		.25
			style			UI_BUTTON_STYLE
			textstyle		UI_BUTTON_TEXT_STYLE
			rect			65 37 100 15
			textalign		1
			textalignx		51		// center
			textaligny		11
			decoration
			backcolor		UI_BUTTON_BACK_COLOR
			forecolor		UI_BUTTON_TEXT_COLOR
			visible			1
			dvar			"serv_kicked"
			dvarFloatList		{ "@EXE_PLAYERKICKED" 0 }
		}

Text is no longer centered and "&&1" still shows.


So with menus how can I use localized strings that have "&&1"?

[serthy]

without loc strings:
look into the extreme mod (_ex_security.gsc)

		player setClientCvar( "com_errortitle" , "Kicked!" );
player setClientCvar( "com_errormessage" , "You've been kicked for bla" );

Yeah I know I can do it easily without loc strings but i'm trying to use loc strings so it is translated properly for those who use different languages. Is it not possible?

Also updated previous post with more info

EDIT: Should clarify - I know there are other ways to alert players why they were kicked but i'm hoping this method will work so I can use it for other things.

You should try and use my translation engine for libcod to do that... Translations are stored serverside for easy updating, it supports 16 different languages and 1k items per language, all of which can be upped manually in the sourcecode of libcod.
