What you must contain in your script is the folowing:

getPlayerName 
function() 
    local localPlayerName = getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()) --so we can use it for outputChatBox 
    outputChatBox(localPlayerName) --for the thing to say 
end 

post the result so we can check it.

exports["admin"]:getPlayerCountry(source)

outputChatBox

Event: onPlayerJoin

function join() 
 local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(source) or "N/A" 
 outputChatBox("#00ffff* [ Join Server ] Name[#ffffff" .. getPlayerName(source) .. "#00ffff] Country[#ffffff" .. country .. "#00ffff]", root, 0, 0, 0, true) 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, join) 

Server Side

Didn't work

function join() 
 local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(source) or "N/A" 
 outputChatBox("#00ffff* [ Join Server ] Name[#ffffff" .. getPlayerName(source) .. "#00ffff] Country[#ffffff" .. country .. "#00ffff]", root, 0, 0, 0, true) 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, join) 

Server Side

and if i want it without the country ?

[iPrestege]

function join() 
 outputChatBox("#00ffff* [ Join Server ] Name[#ffffff" .. getPlayerName(source) .. "#00ffff]", root, 0, 0, 0, true) 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, join)

 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, join)
