Overview

The sound plugin allows you to make audible announcements when players join or leave the server. Announcements are made using half-life's built in speech engine - it does not use sample files downloaded from the server, hence there is no delay in users joining, or any additional lag for those playing, and you do not have to create .res files for each map.

Three announcements are available:

  • A message to a player when they join the server
  • A message to all other players when a player joins a server
  • A message to all other players when a player leaves a server

The selection of which message to play in response to a particular player joining or leaving the server is based on a set of rules defined in the plugin's configuration file and can be governed by any of the following:

  • The player's name
  • The player's WON ID or Steam ID
  • The Admin Mod access level of the player
  • The player's clan tag
  • The player's IP address

You can also specify default messages to use for all other players
