Restart countdown

[ENG.jonny]

I was wandering if it was possible if someone could make an addon or script that counts down from 30 seconds for a server restart.
Players on my server can get very frustrated when the restart Just happens. Is there a way it can be made so it counts down when a command is typed, and it restarts when it gets to 0 automatically?

P.S The server is DarkRP

Thanks,
Jonny

What kinda server restart?

A map change or full SRCDS restart?

[ENG.jonny]

Just a restart that restarts all files, say, if a new addon is installed, it will restart so the addon can then be shown, I guess thats a full SRCDS restart?

Also, The countdown shows up like this..
[IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/2n893xd.png[/IMG] (THE TOP ONE, NOT PAYDAY ONE)

But the writing would say: Server restart in 30 seconds
Then every second, another one of those comes up, so it would look like

Server restart in 30 seconds
*1 second later*
Server restart in 29 seconds
*all the way to 0, which is when server restarts*

Sorry for the long wait, I had to do something.
Put in lua/autorun/restart.lua
Type dorestart in console to perform the restart, and edit the CONFIG table to your likings.

[lua]

if( SERVER )then
local ADMIN, SUPERADMIN = 1, 2;

/* EDIT BELOW THIS AREA */

local CONFIG = {

Access = ADMIN, // Make it so only admins can run the command. Give people admin/superadmin with settings/users.txt
TimeToWait = 25, // Make it wait 25 minutes until it restarts
Increments = { .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 23, 24, 24.5 }, // When should we display a notification that the server is restarting

};

/* EDIT ABOVE THIS AREA */

local function Thiink( ... )

if( !_G[ "ServerRestart" ] || !_G[ "ServerRestart" ].Enabled )then error( "Tried to restart the server by accident?" ); return; end
if( _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue == 0 )then game.ConsoleCommand( "changelevel " .. game.GetMap() ); return; end

// If we didn't notify the player yet, send them a notification in TimeToWait - Increments[ #Increments ], else do LastIncrement - CurrentIncrement
local Delay = ( _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue == #CONFIG.Increments )and( CONFIG.TimeToWait - CONFIG.Increments[ _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue ] ) or ( CONFIG.Increments[ _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue + 1 ] - CONFIG.Increments[ _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue ] );

timer.Create( "ShowRestartNotifications", Delay * 60, 1, function( ... )
NotifyAll( 1, 3, "Server restart in " .. CONFIG.Increments[ _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue ] .. " minutes!" );
_G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue = _G[ "ServerRestart" ].IncQue - 1;
Thiink();
end );

end

concommand.Add( "dorestart", function( ply, cmd, args )

if( !NotifyAll )then
print( "The person that requested this script wanted it for DarkRP. Sorry :[" );
return;
end

if( IsValid( ply ) && ((CONFIG.Access == ADMIN && ply:IsAdmin()) || (CONFIG.Access == SUPERADMIN && ply:IsSuperAdmin())) )then

if( _G[ "ServerRestart" ] && _G[ "ServerRestart" ].Enabled )then
ply:ChatPrint( "A server restart is already in progress!" );
return;
end

_G[ "ServerRestart" ] = {
Enabled = true,
IncQue = #CONFIG.Increments,
Length = CONFIG.TimeToWait * 60,
Date = os.time() + CONFIG.TimeToWait * 60,

[ENG.jonny]

thank you!
I added you on steam btw!

P.S I create restart.lua yes?

[zzaacckk]

Yea. Make sure you make restart.lua inside lua/autorun

[ENG.jonny]

And, I want to make it for OWNER and HEAD ADMIN rank, Do i just check out what there TEAM_ name is in shared.lua for gamemode?
Meaning, Owner would be TEAM_OWNER

Change the team names in line 37 to your liking, although I think you should give owners/head admins a rank in the users.txt so that they don't have to be a specific job to restart the server.

They have a rank in the Evolve menu, we have 'Guest, VIP, admin, Super admin, Head admin, Owner'
What I meant is, I want it so Head admin and Owner can only do the restart,

So this line..
Access = ADMIN, // Make it so only admins can run the command. Give people admin/superadmin with settings/users.txt

should be changed to

Access = OWNER, HEAD ADMIN // Make it so only owners or head admins can run the command. Give people admin/superadmin with settings/users.txt

?
I doubt thats correct, but yeah :S

[ENG.jonny]

I just tried it on the server and it didnt work :/

It just says
Unknown command "restartnow"
] rcon dorestart
The person that requested this script wanted it for DarkRP. Sorry :[

restartnow didnt work
so i did rcon restartnow
then this comes up.. The person that requested this script wanted it for DarkRP. Sorry :[

(I tried the first one you did)

What version of DarkRP are you running?

I think it uses GAMEMODE.NotifyAll now, not just NotifyAll

Try that... and the command is 'dorestart' not restart now

I don't want it for Jobs only who can do it, i want it so only head admins and owners can do the command :/
It's evolve groups btw :/

You would use ply:EV_IsRank( rankString )-- evolve.GetRanks with one argument couldn't verify if a player's rank is set to admin.

But I must be looking at an old version because it uses _R so it may have changed

[editline]23rd November 2012[/editline]

Oh and nice to see you back, Cubar.

[ENG.jonny]

Zaack, could you make it for the ev ranks please? :/

[zzaacckk]

I don't know the system names of your groups, so I guessed they were 'owner' and 'headadmin'.

Again, I don't know if EV_IsRank will work because (_R is deprecated AFAIK) and that's what evolve uses- but I guess its worth a shot.
