Possible Unique ID - BlackAtom - 29.12.2012

Hi! There is some kind of plugin that returns the Computer's Name? (like User, Andrew, BlackAtom, ecc... I hope you understood...)
Believe: get the player's serial with gpci(), then concatenate the output string with the Computer's Name.
Will come out some kind of unique ID
So, There is some kind of plugin that returns the Computer's Name?

I recommend to not use gpci, it's not working 100% accurate and may inflict with other peoples computer. I used to use it too for banning players and innocent people got banned too because gpci returned the same serial.

Here is all anyone needs to know about gpci:
- It is a non-reversible (lossy) hash derived from information about your San Andreas installation path.
- It is not a unique ID.
- It was added to assist owners of large servers who deal with constant attacks from cheaters and botters.
- It has been in SA-MP for 2 years.
I know, but read good: "concatenate the output string with the computer's name". Isn't good?
