Colored message

[cFG]

Hi all,
i used the search function but the answer for my q was not found.

I would like to print a color message from .txt file
For ex. data/lang/timeleft.txtTIME_LEFT = !gTime !tLeftDoesn't work.

So how to?

[YamiKaitou]

You need to code the function that is printing the message to add the colour. The default plugins are not set to show colour by default

[cFG]

Guessed! :D
But how does it look?

ColorChat.inl doesn't work on lang files.

Damn.
When i' included the #include <chatcolor.inc> in a *sma file, compiled and... plugin doesn't work.
Plugin status is: unknown.

Here is a stock:
// Prints chat in colours
// use !g for green color
// use !t for team color [Team color can be red ,blue or grey, It depends on players team]
// use !y for yellow color
stock client_colored_print(const id, const input[], any:...)
{
new iCount = 1, iPlayers[32]

static szMsg[191]
vformat(szMsg, charsmax(szMsg), input, 3)

replace_all(szMsg, 190, "!g", "^4") // green txt
replace_all(szMsg, 190, "!y", "^1") // orange txt
replace_all(szMsg, 190, "!t", "^3") // team txt

if(id) iPlayers[0] = id
else get_players(iPlayers, iCount, "ch")

for (new i = 0; i < iCount; i++)
{
if (is_user_connected(iPlayers[i]))
{
message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, g_msgSayText, _, iPlayers[i])
write_byte(iPlayers[i])
write_string(szMsg)
message_end()
}
}
}

Usage:

client_colored_print( id, "!gHy , !t Bye ")

You need that plugin too.

[cFG]

Ok, so colorchat.amxx - activated.
timeleft.amxx - activated.
And, when i type: timeleft plugin displays: !gTime !tLeft: [time]In lang file i type'd: TIME_LEFT = !gTime !tLeftWhat i'm doing wrong? :x

You don't need the plugin.


Make sure the letters in "ColorChat.inc" Made a big difference when I used the include for one of my plugins

[cFG]

Include is call'd: chatcolor.inc not ChatColor.inc
But anyway, thanks for help.
However, problem persits(post #11).

[DruGzOG]

Try using the below

[cFG]

Doesn't work.
God dam! :(
I have no idea how to fix it, rawr!

[Alka]

OMG, stop it! He want to use colored chat text with MULTILINGUAL support. The only way is tu use Connor's API plugin:
-Install the plugin -> colorchat.sma
-Put the chatcolor.inc in amxmodx/scripting/includes
-In your plugin "#include <chatcolor>"
-For messages use in plugin "timeleft" source -> "client_print_color(...)" - Don't put any signs like "^4, !t, !g" in plugin, instead of "client_print(...)" native from amxx.
-In your multilingual file you can use
In all other files such as multilanguage files, use !g to set following text to green, !n to set following text to normal player chat color (yellow by default), and !t to set following text to the color passed in second argument.

[cFG]

And now it works!
Thank you so much, i forgive about step number 4 :)

[Alka]

Ah, no problem, i'm glad it works :-)

My plugin doesn't work fine with ML in fact, it mixes all ML.
Gonna write a new .inc file some day.
