Add support for targeting announcements to specific usergroups or individual players.
- Add 'target' field to store a usergroup to filter recipients
- Implement recipient filtering logic that prioritizes explicit player lists over usergroup lists over preset target
- Update net.Broadcast() to net.Send() when specific recipients are selected
- Parse scope parameter from client to determine targeting type (all/group/players)
- Return early if no valid recipients are found after filtering
Register BladW announcement privilege with supported admin mods (SAM, ULX/ULib, FAdmin) and provide function to check player access rights. Supports multiple admin systems with fallback to base admin status.
- Add BladW.Announcement.HasAccess() permission check to menu commands and net receive
- Implement announcement queueing: prevent stacking announcements while one is already displaying
- Track active announcement duration with activeUntil timer
- Add feedback to admin: send result status and remaining queue time after broadcast attempt
- Improve chat command handling: hide command from chat for all users, only open menu if authorized
- Refactor configuration and duration retrieval for clarity
Implement a scheduler system for BladW announcements that supports both:
- Interval-based scheduling (e.g., "30m", "90s", "2h", "1d")
- Cron-based scheduling with standard 5-field format (minute hour day month weekday)
The scheduler parses configuration from BladW.Announcement.Schedules and manages timers automatically, cleaning up old timers on reload. Cron expressions are validated and compiled into matcher functions for efficient execution checking every 20 seconds.
Add network string registration for the announcement module:
- bladWOpenAnnouncementMenu: opens announcement menu on client
- bladWSendAnnouncement: receives announcement from admin
- bladWShowAnnouncement: broadcasts announcement to all players
Implement server-side announcement system with the following features:
- LimitChars() utility function to safely truncate strings with UTF-8 support
- bladw_amenu concommand to open announcement menu for players
- /bannonce and !bannonce chat commands as aliases for the menu
- Resolve() function to merge announcement presets with custom entries
- Broadcast() function to send announcements to all clients with proper length limits
- Net message receiver for admin announcement submissions
- Resource file declaration for sound asset download
