CSB Scrolling Hostname

Animates the server hostname with a scrolling marquee and live {players}/{map}/{time} placeholders, restored on map end.

CSB Scrolling Hostname makes your server name move in the browser. A base string in csb_host_text supports live placeholders - {players}, {map} and {time} (time left) - which are substituted every tick, and a sliding window of that text is written to the hostname cvar on a timer to create a smooth marquee scroll. The window width and scroll speed are cvars, and the original hostname is restored in plugin_end so nothing is left mangled on map change.

Features

• Marquee scrolling of the hostname on a configurable interval.
• Live placeholders: {players}, {map}, {time}.
• Configurable window width (clamped to a safe range).
• Restores the real hostname on map end / unload.
