Remove "Player changed name to YY" message

[decompile]

Hey,

Is there already a way to remove the "Player changed name to YY" message?

If there is a way it would be for sure possible to remove these too:

Code: Select all

Server cvar change: Server cvar 'sv_tags' changed to alltalk,increased_maxplayers..'
Connect: Player xxx has joined the game
Disconnect: Player xxx has left the game
Team change: Player xxx has joined team Terrorists

Try this:

Syntax: Select all

from events.hooks import EventAction
from events.hooks import PreEvent

@PreEvent('server_cvar', 'player_team', 'player_connect', 'player_disconnect')
def pre_player_team(game_event):
    return EventAction.STOP_BROADCAST

Hey,

Tried it out, doesnt work (CSS: Windows + Linux)

Try adding player_changename to the event names arguments.

Still no difference, didnt worked in ES Too.

Syntax: Select all

def load():
    spe.detourFunction('SayText2Filter', HookType.Pre, pre_saytext2)

def unload():
    spe.undetourFunction('SayText2Filter', HookType.Pre, pre_saytext2)

def pre_saytext2(args):
    if args[3] == '#Cstrike_Name_Change':
        for x in xrange(3, 8):
            args[x] = ''
        return (HookAction.Modified, 0)
       
    return (HookAction.Continue, 0)

Just tested my code and everything you have requested is working except the name change part. You could have been more precise in your reply.

player_changename does get fired when a player changes his name, but it seems like we can't block the message by stopping the event from being broadcasted to the clients. However, hooking UTIL_SayText2Filter is working fine for me:

Syntax: Select all

import memory

from memory import Convention
from memory import DataType
from memory.hooks import PreHook

from core import PLATFORM

if PLATFORM == 'windows':
    identifier = b'\x55\x8B\xEC\x68\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\xFF\x75\x08\xE8\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x8B\x45\x0C'
else:
    identifier = '_Z19UTIL_SayText2FilterR16IRecipientFilterP11CBasePlayerbPKcS4_S4_S4_S4_'

server = memory.find_binary('server')

UTIL_SayText2Filter = server[identifier].make_function(
    Convention.CDECL,
    [DataType.POINTER, DataType.POINTER, DataType.BOOL, DataType.STRING,
    DataType.STRING, DataType.STRING, DataType.STRING, DataType.STRING],
    DataType.VOID
)

@PreHook(UTIL_SayText2Filter)
def pre_say_text2_filter(args):
    if args[3] == '#Cstrike_Name_Change':
        return 0

Edit:
Stopping player_changename from being broadcasted has no effect, because CCSPlayer::ChangeName fires the event and calls UTIL_SayText2Filter.

Works, awesome thank you!

[decompile]

Try this:

Syntax: Select all

from events.hooks import EventAction
from events.hooks import PreEvent

@PreEvent('server_cvar', 'player_team', 'player_connect', 'player_disconnect')
def pre_player_team(game_event):
    return EventAction.STOP_BROADCAST

Seems like this does not work, it still says 'Player xx joined the game'

Seems like they have changed the way that message gets display. I just tested "player_connect_client" and this does block the message.
