MatterAMXX

You can also bridge multiple servers together so the players can chat between each one.

Setting up MatterAMXX

This quickstart guide assumes you already have a working Matterbridge installation.

Open your matterbridge.toml file and add the following lines:

[api.myserver]
BindAddress="0.0.0.0:1337"
Token="verysecrettoken"
Buffer=1000
RemoteNickFormat="{NICK}"

Where "myserver" is goes the name of the relay, you can put anything.

Find your gateway where you want to relay the messages.

[[gateway]]  
name="cstrike"  
enable=true  
  
[[gateway.inout]]  
account="discord.mydiscord"  
channel="general"  
  
[[gateway.inout]]  
account="api.myserver"  
channel="api"

Where cstrike is goes the gateway name. By default is the mod's gamedir (cstrike for Counter-Strike, valve for Half-Life, etc) but you can change it using cvars, you can add more gateway.inout entries depending on how many protocols do you want to relay messages.

Avatar Spoofing

It's possible to set up avatars for each user on protocols that support it. Unfortunately, due to limitations of AMXX and the GRIP module, user info from the Steam API can't be retrieved because it gets truncated.

However, you can host the included PHP script to query for avatars to be used in this plugin, you just need a Steam API Key that you can obtain from the Steam Web API website.

This will also cache each avatar and they will be deleted after a while.

Remember to create the /avatars folder! The script won't do it for you.

API

The API allows other plugins to use MatterAMXX features. Just include the matteramxx.inc file in your plugin and it should work immediately.

Remember that the plugin requires the latest version of MatterAMXX to be running in the server.
