I think so far it's only you and Cannon working on plugins. There might also be some info over at Starport forums. But you already checked those I guess.
I have a question, I noticed the /help command (to list available user commands) isn't available any more, after we switched to w0dk4's plugin version. This is probably something that should be included i the plugin core version (not another plugin) right?

Yeah, pretty sure /help is an FLHook thing. Could make a temporary plugin to emulate this.

Sounds good, but what does a private message plugin do? Just curious...

Just tossing out ideas I heard elsewhere or that arose during testing:
- idea for a new plugin - block "player has logged in/out" messages. It's true that on a large server this makes reading chats very difficult
- idea how to improve renameme plugin - remember history of name changes and make it possible to search for an old name. But it can be difficult for a user command, so maybe just make a log of name changes, so the admins can search in it when dealing with rule offenders who changed their names
- giving help for user commands after just typing /renameme or /givecash without parameters (e.g. look at /ignore)
- /givecash - would it be possible to give a message "You have received 2134 credits from XYZ"...?

Blocking the logged in/out messages might be a bit tricky for a plugin. This one might require a change in the FLHook base code...I also could be completely wrong about this. I would *really* *really* like this feature.
The renameme plugin should already be recording name changes into the FLHook.log file. I could change it to put them into a different file...easy to do.
Help for /renameme should work but I screwed up the code...typing /renameme<space> shows the usage info. Will fix this in the next version.
Give cash. Will add received credits message in the next version. Note that /givecash allows transfer to any character...logged in or not. Is this what we want or do we want to restrict the transfer to only logged in characters.

I'll have a look in the log, if the name changes are logged now, it should be enough.

Oh, then it's great, I though it's only for online characters...
Hmm.. I'd imagine that a fairly common task would be to make a list of stuff, of size ( max # players). Is there a hard maximum on the number of players logged in at one time that I can assume for some reason? Or do I have to check?
@Silent: We need it in plugins. That's the only possible way now. Talk to Cannon if you need help, he's already done 3.
@Keshi: I am not very sure what stuff you want to list. Stuff on other players? Don't think it's a good idea. We've got scanners for that, they work on different ranges and this would sort of kill that area. Regarding the max player limit, it's hardcoded and it's 200.
