CS2-Tags/README.md
Astra cd90d1bf82 1.0.4c-zio1: CSS 1.0.375 / net10.0, fixes, SimpleAdmin ranks
- Target net10.0 and CounterStrikeSharp 1.0.375 (compile-only reference),
  System.Text.Json instead of Newtonsoft.Json.
- Config moves to configs/plugins/CS2-Tags/tags.json, defaulting to our
  #rank/... SimpleAdmin groups. Comments and trailing commas allowed; a bad
  file is logged and the previous tags kept.
- Scoreboard tags call SetStateChanged on m_szClan, only when changed.
- Colour tags are expanded only in config strings, not in players' names or
  messages. Empty nick_color means team colour.
- A tag with no prefix or colours leaves chat to the game; drop team_chat.
- css_tags_reload works for @css/root too and reapplies scoreboard tags;
  hot reload tags connected players. Timers stop on map change. No dead
  icon for spectators.
- Remove css_tag_mute/unmute and "@" team admin chat: CS2-SimpleAdmin does
  both, and its catch-all command listener runs before these.
- Add release.sh, drop the .sln and GitHub workflow, README for the fork.

CS2-Tags

Our fork of daffyyyy/CS2-Tags: chat prefixes, name/message colours and scoreboard (clan) tags, assigned by SteamID64, admin group or permission. Built for CounterStrikeSharp 1.0.375 (net10.0) and meant to run alongside CS2-SimpleAdmin.

Changes from upstream 1.0.4c

  • Targets net10.0 / CSS 1.0.375. Uses System.Text.Json, so Newtonsoft.Json no longer ships with it.
  • Config moved to configs/plugins/CS2-Tags/tags.json. The default file uses our SimpleAdmin rank groups. Comments and trailing commas are allowed. A broken file is logged and the previous tags stay in use.
  • Scoreboard tags call SetStateChanged on m_szClan so clients are told about the change.
  • Colour tags like {RED} are only expanded in the config's strings. Players can no longer colour their own chat by typing them.
  • An empty nick_color means the team colour (like normal chat), not whatever colour the prefix ended on.
  • A tag with an empty prefix, nick_color and message_color leaves that player's chat alone (the game prints it), in both all and team chat. The old team_chat key is gone.
  • css_tags_reload works from the server console and for @css/root admins, and reapplies scoreboard tags straight away. Hot reload applies tags to players already connected.
  • Removed css_tag_mute/css_tag_unmute and the @ team-chat admin chat. CS2-SimpleAdmin already does both, and its catch-all command listener runs first. CSS always runs those before per-command listeners, so gagged players' messages never reach this plugin.

Configuration

addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/plugins/CS2-Tags/tags.json, written with defaults on first load:

{
  "tags": {
    "76561198000000000": { "prefix": "{Magenta}[Dev]", "nick_color": "", "message_color": "", "scoreboard": "[Dev]" },
    "#rank/owner":       { "prefix": "{DarkRed}[Owner]", "nick_color": "{LightRed}", "message_color": "", "scoreboard": "[Owner]" },
    "#rank/admin":       { "prefix": "{Red}[Admin]",     "nick_color": "{LightRed}", "message_color": "", "scoreboard": "[Admin]" },
    "@css/vip":          { "prefix": "{Gold}[VIP]",      "nick_color": "",           "message_color": "", "scoreboard": "[VIP]" },
    "everyone":          { "prefix": "",                 "nick_color": "",           "message_color": "", "scoreboard": "" }
  }
}

Each player gets exactly one tag, picked in this order:

  1. A SteamID64 key matching the player.
  2. The first #group or @permission key the player matches, in file order. Put higher ranks first. @css/root passes every @css/... check, so owners match any permission key.
  3. everyone, if present.

Fields (all optional, empty means "not set"):

  • prefix - shown before the name in chat.
  • nick_color / message_color - colour tags; empty means team colour / default.
  • scoreboard - clan tag on the scoreboard; empty leaves the player's own clan tag.

Colours: any ChatColors field name in braces, case-insensitive, e.g. {Red}, {LightBlue}, {Gold}, {Grey}, plus {TEAMCOLOR}.

Group membership comes from CS2-SimpleAdmin (css_addadmin ... -g, css_addgroup, then css_reloadadmins). After changing ranks or tags.json, run css_tags_reload to reapply scoreboard tags without waiting for a respawn.

Commands

  • css_tags_reload (@css/root or server console) - reload tags.json and reapply scoreboard tags.

Building and releasing

cd plugins/CS2-Tags && ../../build.sh      # output in compiled/CS2-Tags/
FORGEJO_TOKEN=... ./release.sh v<ModuleVersion>

release.sh rebuilds from the committed source and publishes CS2-Tags-<tag>.tar.gz, laid out like game/csgo/, to https://git.zio.sh/cs2/CS2-Tags. The tag must equal v<ModuleVersion> (v1.0.4c-zio1 now).
