ENSL Plugin
ENSL Plugin is a multi-purpose AMXX-plugin to help address issues, administer server and do miscellaenous tasks on official game servers. Credits go to the Jim "JazzX" Olson who gave the CALns-plugin source which this plugin was originally based on, although now heavily modified and new features added.

F.A.Q.
What are the approved rates / settings?
rate: 10000 - 25000
cl_cmdrate: 50 - 150
cl_updaterate: 40 - 150
cl_cmdbackup: 0-10
fps_max: 50-300
fps_modem: 0
r_drawviewmodel: 1
r_detailtextures: 0
gl_max_size: 256/512
Do not change any of these when the game is in progress. If you type /check before the game start, the plugin will show if there are any violations.
Do admins have some kind of backdoor into my server?
Not really, there are not any hidden backdoors, we want to establish mutual trust between staff and server operators. However naturally we cannot guarantee that the plugin is 100% secure as usual with free software.
Does the plugin affect server performance?
Not really. The features are more random event and command initiated and not something that is done every server cycle. So no - we don't play with server_frame() or anything like that. When I inspected the server FPS with the plugin running and 16 players, there was no difference to normal. Besides, unless you are running PentiumII the HLDS should take about 30-50% of your CPU.
