Help Menu

Displays a help menu to users when they type "!helpmenu" in chat. Help menus can be fully customized via a config file. Also displays two standard help menus: Current Map Rotation, and Online Admins.

Configuration is in configs/helpmenu.cfg.

The new configuration format removes the old "standard" menus for Rules, Clan Info, and Chat Commands and instead lets you specify arbitrary custom help menus. Each section of the file is its own menu, using the following format:

By default, admins with kick flag appear in the menu. To modify which flag is required for admins to appear in the menu, override helpmenu_admin.

Code:

"Menu Name"
{
    "title"      "Menu Title"
    "type"     "list"
    "items"
    {
        ""      "Here's an informational item"
        "sm_browse www.mysite.com"  "This launches a client command when selected"
    }
}

You can also specify a "text" type to avoid displaying line numbers in the menu if you just want a wall of text and don't need to execute any commands. Please look through the attached configuration for examples.

CVars:

sm_helpmenu_version // Plugin version.
sm_helpmenu_welcome // Display a welcome message when users connect, telling them they can type "!helpmenu" to view the menu. 1 is on, 0 is off. (default 1)
sm_helpmenu_admins // Display a list of online admins in the help menu. 1 is on, 0 is off. (default 1)
sm_helpmenu_autoreload // Reload the config on map change
sm_helpmenu_config_path // Change the file path of the config file
