Last join time info

[V-Rico]

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of addon that shows las join time in chat when player connects. Something like "*NAME* last joined 30 hours ago".
Thanks!

I know the admin mod "Evolve" has this, and is probably what you have seen.

Thanks, other ways?

I don't think there are any other addons, you could always code it yourself or hire someone.

Untested, but this should work. Stores timestamps in text files. Not the best method but it's quick and easy.

Should probably get in the habbit of string.lower on the file.write now that the new 'bug' is considering a feature.
