Whitelisty - Simple Whitelist Module

Well, instead of just leaving it at that, I'll provide a few suggestions.

1. I understand the entire point of this addon was to basically remove/make no use of a VGUI, but I would suggest adding an optional VGUI menu and add an option to enable/disable the VGUI menu in a config file to uphold the "no annoying/unnecessary VGUI or menus (but is optional)".
2. Log users that are denied access, admins adding/removing whitelisted users, and anything you can think of logging.
3. Timed whitelist, basically whitelist a user for a certain amount of time and then remove them after the time period is up.

Thanks Zephruz, I appreciate your elaboration. I will think of ways to enhance the script to make it more worth the money.

In all honesty, I got the idea from a request I found online and figured I could fill a need of the community. I wasn't aware that there were so many other options available. I can certainly make mine rise above.

Ideas or suggestions are appreciated from anyone that might have them, of course.

Thank you for asking a question instead of going straight to bashing like some people are keen on doing. The difference is that my plugin stores the whitelist entries in the server's SQLite database allowing for quicker data entry and retrieval.

Writing to flat files (txt files in the data directory) becomes problematic when there are a lot of entries and can cause lag when reading and writing from the file.

Also, I can't tell without looking at their code, but I imagine that mine offers more customization for the disconnect message and theirs may or may not use the CheckPassword hook which is what prevents players from even starting to connect to the servers.

Some whitelist plugins use the PlayerAuthed or InitialSpawn hook which only kicks the player once they've connected and downloaded all of the server files.

My method (which other plugins may use too) saves them the time. It's as if the server were passworded and they didn't have the right password.

I wasn't saying that coding a VGUI wasn't in your realm of capability; I was simply stating that there is other addons of the same type that are free and provide more features, such as VGUI's that are more "player friendly" and appealing to the eye. I wasn't pointing out your financial capabilities or anything of that sort, I was simply pointing out your creativity and thought that was put into making this. I know for a fact you are capable of making decent addons worth the prices they are set at, but this isn't thinking out of the box like you've done with your other addons. If you added more features than other [free] whitlisting addons don't provide, I would support this but as it currently sits, it isn't worth $2.50 because it doesn't have more features and is of equal value to the free ones (to me at least). This is to encourage you to add more features and improve not only the addon but your success in making more money, I'm not saying the features it currently has aren't good because they are. Just not enough of them to make up for the price. All in all - I do wish you luck with your sales. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Mr. P i have always loved your work i basically started off learning glua with/from you over on ULX but what is the diffrence between this and http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402240937

@Zephruz - In addition to what I just recently posted, I intentionally didn't code a VGUI for this. I could easily have added one as VGUI is totally within my realm of ability, but I wanted to keep the script as easy to use as possible. It's intended to be used from the server console primarily, allowing server admins to add and remove players from their whitelist from external RCON programs like HLSW or web based consoles that some hosts provide.

I'm not even sure what Fox is trying to say. I script and release things on here to supplement my income. Right now I don't have a job and am a full time student living off campus in an apartment which I have to pay rent and utilities. If I see the opportunity to script something that someone might find useful, I am going to do it. It's not like I'm asking very much for this script and some people will find it useful and buy it.

There is no need to troll around on here. If you don't think something is worth buying... don't buy it! It's pretty simple. Thanks! :)

Uhh...really, as far as I know there's quite a few Whitelist addons that are free and even have a little bit extra by offering a VGUI.

Are you kidding me, this plugin is already there, for free, I've seen your past work, as there would still adequately can handle, but this is really too much.
