Able to !ping and !from whilst in-game and other misc functions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Allowing the admin to !ping and !from all players and being able to !ping 
<playername> and !from 
<playername> specific players.

The auto-lock and !lock/!unlock work great but commands outside the game, for 
example in the 
channel and through b.net, can still affect the game. Mainly the !end command. 
Is it possible to 
make it so that if someone sends the !end command it will ask all players 
in-game if they would 
like to end the game and if the majority say !yes then it ends the game and if 
!no then to reject the 
command for 10 minutes and restrict the player issuing the command from issuing 
the same 
command to that game again. 

Also allowing multiple game owners so that more than one admin can send 
commands within a 
game while restricting other admins from sending commands within that game. 
And/Or locking 
games to specific admins.IE: !lock <admin name> and !unlock <admin name>

I think the !end command should be kept as it is. It is after all used when the 
admin
of the game needs or will end the game, unless this method is made optional.

Making the !from command usable ingame is easy but as of right now the pings 
wouldn't
update if the !ping command was usable ingame because GHost++ stops soliciting 
pings
from players once the game has loaded. I will have to check if Warcraft 3 
permits
pings once the game has loaded and if so I don't have a problem with making the 
!ping
command usable ingame.

I won't be adding pings to specific players because the !ping command already 
takes
an argument (the maximum allowed ping - i.e. kick all players with a higher 
ping). I
don't intend to add a player specific !from command either.

Most of the battle.net commands that affect the current game should already be
restricted when the game is locked (e.g. the slot modification commands). I 
decided
not to restrict the !end and !unhost commands to reduce the possibility of a 
lobby or
game being stuck open with nobody able to close them. I also won't be adding a 
vote
feature to the !end command.

I won't be adding multiple game owners. You may be able to accomplish some of 
what
you want when I rewrite the admin system to included access levels.

Is it possible to include the !from and !ping into the output when doing !check 
on a player?

Sure, that sounds reasonable.

Done (r26). Some of the requested features were not added because I do not 
intend to
add them. See my previous comments on this issue for more information.
