☄ Description

• A fully optimized and easy to use rank system, containing tons of options and an API for creating sub-plugins. Unlike other plugins like this where in order to add/remove or change ranks and the required XP for them, the end-user has to make changes in the .sma file and recompile the plugin, this one does everything through a configuration file that doesn't require any scripting skills nor recompiling the plugin after a change has been made. The plugin has an option to set different XP rewards for different in-game events, such as killing a player, headshot, suicide, teamkill, planting/defusing the bomb and so on. You can even specify different rewards for any weapon in the game.
  

☄ Information

• The plugin can be used in a game different than Counter-Strike. In order to do this, you need to comment/remove the line #define USE_CSTRIKE in the .sma file and recompile the plugin. Bear in mind that the chat messages won't be colored when using another game.
• It is also possible to have different settings for different maps. In order to do this, you need to write the map name between dashes on a new line in the configuration file (- de_dust2 -). This will make everything below this line be active only on that specific map. You can also use map prefixes (- de_* -). To go back to global settings, use - #all -.

• /xp, /level -- shows your XP amount, level and rank (changeable in the .ini file)

☄ Configuring the ranks

• The ranks can be easily configured in the [Ranks] section in the .ini file.
• As you can see from the default ranks set in the file, each rank is added on a new line by writing its name and the required XP for it separated with the "=" symbol.
• The first rank must start from 0 XP.
• The number of ranks you can add is unlimited.
• The name of the ranks can't start with any of these symbols: "#", ";", "-" and "["
  

☄ Configuring the XP rewards

• Unlike other plugins where there is a separate setting for each way of earning XP, this plugin has things set up quite differently and it's much easier to use.
• In the [XP Rewards] section you can all kinds of XP rewards depending on special keywords.
• For example, if you want players to receive 5 XP on a normal kill, you simply need to write "kill = 5" on a new line in the section, since the keyword "kill" tells the plugin that this reward should be given when you kill a player. For a kill with a headshot, simply use the keyword "headshot", and so on.
• You can even add a separate reward for each weapon in a game, e.g. "awp = 10".
• In order to make VIP users receive different amount of XP than the regular players, for example 10 XP for planting the bomb, while regular players receive 7 XP, you should write "bomb_planted = 7 10".
• Take a look at this link for all keywords available in the plugin.
  

☄ Showing the ranks in chat

• Since this plugin mainly refers to XP, levels and ranks, and not the chat itself, it is necessary to download a separate plugin for the chat in order to show the ranks in it. Use the Chat Manager plugin for that purpose.
• I have added support in Chat Manager for this plugin, so you can easily activate the ranks in it.
• In order to activate them, you need to add the keyword $rank$ in the [Format Definition] section in the plugin's configuration file. You can make the ranks show only for regular players, along with the admin prefix, etc.
• If you don't know how and where to add it, follow these steps:
  • Open the configuration file - configs/ChatManager.ini.
  • Find the [Format Definitions] section and replace the 4 settings inside it with these ones:
    
    format_admin = $dead_prefix$ &x04[$rank$] $admin_prefix$ &x03$custom_name$ &x01: $chat_color$$message$format_admin_team = $dead_prefix$ ($team$) &x04[$rank$] $admin_prefix$ &x03$custom_name$ &x01: $chat_color$$message$format_player = $dead_prefix$ &x04[$rank$] &x03$custom_name$ &x01: $chat_color$$message$format_player_team = $dead_prefix$ ($team$) &x04[$rank$] &x03$custom_name$ &x01: $chat_color$$message$
  • If you don't want the rank to be displayed for the admins who already have an admin prefix, replace only the last two settings and leave the first ones unchanged.
