Colour Chat Menu (v1.50)

I've had this mod for quite a while, so I thought I'd might release it here.

Purpose:

This plugin is for people who wish to change their chat colours quickly through an in-game menu.

Installation:

To install it, you can simply download the .zip from the attachments and extract it to your amxmodx folder.

Usage:

Create a file called 'colours.ini' in your configs directory.

To make a new colour, write on a new line in this format.
"Colourname" <red> <green> <blue>

Code:

"Default" 255 180 30

"White" 255 255 255

Commands:

/colour - opens the colour menu
colour - opens the colour menu

Credits:

alka - stole his menu code
arkshine - giving me some helpful suggestions
connor - giving me some info on dynamic arrays
Jon - used some of his trails code

Log Changes:

v1.45 - Fixed another error...
v1.40 - Fixed a small error.
v1.35 - Added custom colour menu, made it work with "+" characters on client join
v1.30 - Finished ML, fixed up clamp() functions, updated code for more readability
v1.25 - Optimised the code a bit...

Re: Colour Chat Menu

Well, the idea of the plugin is good, and the code of this plugin can help to me in a thing that i want to do =o so thx. But, the problem is:

PHP Code:


		
			
client_cmd(id, "con_color ^"%i %i %i^"", g_ColourSettings[colour][0], g_ColourSettings[colour][1], g_ColourSettings[colour][2])

But dont know, maybe i am wrong, becouse you change the colors with the menu, so is not slowhacking as far as i know.

Re: Colour Chat Menu

Doing a menu for client cvar is useless.

Of course it's not slowhacking since it's up to the client if he wants to use the menu options or not.

It's not useless - most people don't even realise that you can change your chat colour, and even then they wouldn't know the r|g|b values for their wanted colours. This is a quick and easy way to allow people to change it.

I don't think it's slowhacking if you're not forcing them to use it. I know of one community that forces a blue chat colour each time you join and you're unable to change it.
