Many plugins are missing the 'auto-updater feature' and 'translation / (support)'. Furthermore, the copyright headers need to be consistently in every plugin. It's important to stay on-top of these things as new plugins get added. Other plugins contain examples how to accomplish this.

This issue will stay open as it's a reminder of the importance of these features.

The following phrases could potentially be accumulated into nd_common.phrases.txt:
Empire
Consort
Round Start Usage: "This feature requires the match to be started"
Round End Usage: "This feature can't be used when the game is over"
Feature Unavailable: "This feature is currently unavailable"
Already Voted: "You've already voted for this feature."

First:
So to start off with, this is required in-order to access team balance natives.
#include <nd_balancer>

Then
Then your plugin will have access to the GetTeamDifference() float. Simply call this float function to get the team difference and re-inventing the wheel will not be required. It will return a positive value float if the team difference is in Consorts favour or a negative float value if it's in Empires favour.

I have not constructed the native yet, but your plugin will compile successfully as the line is added. I will add this native a bit later in the upcoming days. It shouldn't take too long to complete.

Next:
You will need to use something in-order to pass values to web. There are multiple options available. A few include socket, steamworks, steamtools and curl. I would prefer that an extension already on the server like socket (only supports http) or steamworks is used if at all possible; but, it's not limited to that. Links to these extensions and the updater plugin (possibly a useful resource) is here.

Resources
The Sourcemod API is located here.

I can request a sub domain on xenogamers.com be used for Redstone. With ftp access, much like other things like motds and fastdls already have. This would be a good place to host this content.

Regarding the auto reboot script you're looking for. @stickz did you see this plugin: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=777168

Hi,

I've noticed that as commander I can't pick some classes since recently. That is a huge bug. Please fix.

Here is an example how to translate phrases into Spanish.

"Slot Used" 
{
        "es"        "Vacante invertida utilizada exitosamente"
}   

Posted bellow is a list of things that need translated.
Multiple phrases here (click each file to check)

The server is missing many Russian Translations. Here's an half done easy template. I will add the remainder of missing translations once the formatting is fixed on GitHub.

All someone who's new to github has to do is go to these links. Then click pencil in the top right corner. When complete simply click the green button at the bottom of the page. Afterwards, anther green button will popup which says "create pull request". Click it and move onto the next link.

Things which need translated.
nd_commander_restrictions
nd_map_management
nd_team_balancer
nd_timelimit
structminigame

Stickz signs on daily to click a green button on his end which automatically sends phrases to the server!

• Update map-chooser plug-in and base vote order on random integer.
• Update nextmap plug-in and post the changed made on github.
• Add French (and possibly more) translations to github.
• Create smoke markers for based on team colour.
• Test and upgrade sourcemod to 1.8 (if updater works)
• Automatic silencing of players who use the N-Word at full connotation.
• Automatic five minute gagging of players who flood the same message five times.
• Do not count sabs as an anti-structure unit.
• Fix bug with commander resigning applying to random clients?
• Add an admin command to trigger the warm-up balancer mid-round
• Allow surrender sooner at the 6m marker if teams become imbalanced

Here is how map vote dialog looks like on my screen (OS X, experimental branch of ND):

I think it's also related to similar behavior of chat message input where characters overlap one on another sometimes

As the entity count raises, it starts to push the source engine past it's intended limits. This creates performance issues for both the server and client. Being able to limit the number of buildings created would tremendously help this issue on larger games when the server gets full of buildings.

The following Russian translation phrase is #missing.

nd_tools
nd_commander_restrictions
nd_player_interps
votemute_p

This plugin has been broken since release and never passed an initial testing phase.
https://github.com/stickz/Redstone/blob/master/addons/sourcemod/scripting/nd_build_shadow_fix.sp

It's intention is to remove the yellow building shadow when something fails to build. This will free the building space so things can be built in the same spot again.

When a building fails to build, it teleports above the map ceiling on clocktower.

There currently isn't anything in nd_offmap_fixes to resolve this issue.

This is just a note to myself that I need to create a server chat algorithm that includes...

• Automatic silencing of players who use the N-Word at full connotation.
• Automatic five minute gagging of players who flood the same message five times.

There is a glitch with nuclear dawn causing double reloading. The nd_reload_fix plugin attemps to resolve that issue, but it accidentally messes up client aiming. Can this be fixed?

This is just a note to myself that a translation algorithm needs created. One that looks for common messages like asking for a "forward transport gate" and automatically translates it.

There is a bug in current CI build system. This build should be marked as failed, but was marked as "passed" instead: https://travis-ci.org/stickz/Redstone/jobs/114107059

Regardless, this commit should be reverted in my opinion: 59037d0 and retried after this issue is resolved

Following plugins generate warnings during stable compilation. I guess these warnings are harmless but fixing them would clean the build logs in CI server:

• gameme_messages.sp
• nd_deadweights.sp
• showdamage.sp

Full log of compilation with warnings: https://travis-ci.org/stickz/Redstone/jobs/114883703

A lot of German translations are missing from servers. I have completed all the preparation necessary to easily translate the phrases without any extra work. Posted bellow is a full list of missing translations.

Notice: structminigame and nd_universal_translator are the most important.

nd_continents
nd_map_management
nd_universal_translator
nd_radio_controls
nd_rockthevote
nd_surrender
nd_timelimit
nd_tools
nd_warmup
numbers
structminigame
votemute_p

Find vector coordinates and add to nd_offmap_fixes.

@sergeylukin The server is currently in an infinite loop of updating plugins. The default version is being compiled and sent out; instead, of adjusting it to the new version. http://pastebin.com/T8awEbPt

Also, the builds are always passing even if the plugins have an errors.

Hi,

I've noticed the note in README file about you looking for automated build script so I thought maybe I can help with that. I've looked into .travis.yml file and as I understand you compile .smx files for each plugin in use and print the status in Gitter chat room from Travis. I haven't found any deployment stage there, please correct me if I missed it.

I assume you clone the repo / pull changes into production server after successful build manually and compile all .smx files over again in order to apply changes on production. Is my assumption correct? :)

I think what you need is automated deployment process which would automatically take pushed/merged changes to master branch and apply them on production server (only if Travis successfully compiled .smx files of course), is that what you're looking for?

I guess it's too early for me to suggest something as I need more details in order to come up with potentially solid solutions so I will be glad to collaborate on that once you decide to proceed. Feel free to close this issue if it's not relevant any more though.

Cheers

P.S. My nickname in ND is pogran_

The area on the nd_offmap_fixes See here, plugin requires an update to fix building exploits.

The event for when a wall and barrier are destroyed need to be found. This is required to be able to properly record the buildings each client destroys on server statistics.

nd_adjust_weights

• Plugin should use a single text file instead of multiples.
• A custom skill value should be imputable instead of preset values.
• This plugin shouldn't be automated until a score engine comes.

nd_team_shuffle

• Plugin should use a better algorithm to minimize player swaps.
