[Source 2013] Custom Chat Colors

Description:
Give particular Steam IDs and admin flags custom chat colors and name tags. Supports any color you can imagine, or team color, green, and olive. This is a rewrite of Simple Chat Colors (Redux). Requires Simple Chat Processor (Redux). Complete documentation is in the config file.

Only works in Source 2013 games, which include:

• Team Fortress 2
• Counter-Strike: Source
• Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
• Day of Defeat: Source

This also works on CS:GO, but only "T", "G", and "O" codes can be used.

Update: I'm getting reports that colors don't work on CS:GO when alive. This is a shame, but this plugin doesn't officially support CS:GO. Don't expect it to be fixed.


This plugin will never support any CS:GO colors beyond those mentioned above, so stop asking.

Commands:
sm_reloadccc - reloads the config file

Cvars:
custom_chat_colors_version - plugin version
custom_chat_colors_auto_update (default 1) - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed)

Requirements:
Requires the Simple Chat Processor (Redux) plugin.

Developers:
This plugin provides several forwards and natives. See the include file for documentation.

Installation:
Install Simple Chat Processor (Redux), extract chatcolors.zip, upload its contents to your /addons/sourcemod directory, and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load custom-chatcolors" into your console or rcon.

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be auto-updated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Re: [TF2] Simple Chat Colors (Redux) (Redux)
 

I think I prefer the term "Dual Redux" or something :D

Thanks for rewriting this. Given that I often get entity errors with Anti's one, I think I'll check this this as soon as I can.

Re: [TF2] Simple Chat Colors (Redux) (Redux)
 

Sweet, thanks for the release, but like 11530, change the name ;)

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Fine... :(

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

I liked the name as it was :)

Thanks for the re-write - lookin at it now.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Maybe someone can answer this for me, any particular reason this feature is only for TF2? I know this has question has been raised before, but I've never actually arrived at the correct answer.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

A recent update in TF2 allowed developers to create chat messages with any custom color. This feature doesn't exist in any other game (From what I know), but if we could get it into CSS (Also with the HUD capabilities), it'd be great!

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

I understand the update, but my point is, is valve debating on adding the feature in any other game? I've heard they don't "like" the CS:S community.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

holy shmoly!
this is what I've been waiting for, you are the best! :D
will try it out. Thank you very much!

edit:
would be a gradient color possible ?
not now but maybe in future.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Encountering this issue:

I have the config file in the correct folder. Not sure what's causing the issue.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Currently the script still uses the config file "simple-chatcolors.cfg" whereas it's meant to say "custom-chatcolors.cfg" to reflect the new name change. (If you want to fix it yourself, just change that line in the script (currently line 49) and you'll be good.)

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Rename custom-chatcolors.cfg to simple-chatcolors.cfg. For some reason that is the path in the source code.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Thanks guys, did the trick for me! I thought I was going insane for a sec.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Oh yea btw they already added chat colors to CS:S:

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

It would be cool if you added a option to set a color depending what team the player was on.

"team1" "#FFFFFF"
"team2" "#FFFFFF"
"team3" "#FFFFFF"

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

You clearly didn't read my message right above yours. First, you just superfluously re-confirm that the two file names are different. Secondly, despite your confusion, I already explain why this bug occurred. Thirdly (and this applies to Mr. Man as well) I would not recommend renaming your config one to the erroneous file name since, as soon as Dr. McKay rolls out the next update, you'll have to change the file name again.

Maybe it's just me, but I like to fix things the first time, Fearts, rather than fix them twice.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Relax bud. I didn't see your post. Your big words confuse me.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

I thought about it, but it got overly complex. :(
I'm about to break your stuff. :twisted:

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

I think I can handle the pressure that comes with renaming files :)

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Alright, v1.0.2 is live and fixes the mis-named config file problem. Sorry about that. :/

If CS:S does in fact support custom chat colors now, this should work fine on CS:S as well. Let me know.

If you're using Updater, sm_updater_check should be sufficient to get you the new version. Make sure you re-rename your config file.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

It does work on CS:S that is your plugin I am using in that picture. =)

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

It was added because Certain People asked Certain People to add it (several times).
It's in a shared engine file, so any game that shares the file will also get chat colors.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Doctor Mckay asked Drunken F00l?

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

No.
I was referring to myself and at least two others.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Wasent he the guy who got VAC banned by Valve, then got hired by them?

Or someone else...

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Yup, that's him.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

Very nice. I like all the colors.

Thanks for the hard work,
BlueCuda

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

I've been getting it to work but I get different colors then they should be, i.e. Cyan is really dark blue and some don't even show up. I have morecolors.inc on, and this. (and yes i have Simple Chat Processor on the server as well) Is a certain Sourcemod version required? Also, I'm running linux and i see no errors in the logs.

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Gives hope to lots of people ;)

Maybe not, thats a bizarre story

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

This doesn't use morecolors.inc. You have to specify a color in #RRGGBB format.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

Plugin updated to v1.1.0. Changelog:

• Added OnTagApplied forward
• Added CCC_GetNameColor, CCC_GetChatColor, CCC_GetTagColor, and CCC_GetTag natives

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

Plugin updated to v1.2.0. Now the natives actually work. :)

Re: [TF2] Custom Chat Colors
 

Not if you know the correct story.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

DOes anybody else have a problem with the team chat? like T's can see my CT's chat.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

That's strange, I've never had a problem like that.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

I'll get you a picture.

http://mikes-revenge.net/sandboxx/8F...20EA39B5AB.jpg
I'm on CT, maybe be something wrong with my chat processor version, i should check out that first.
Also i changed the translations on chat processor, but i doubt that would have any cause on it.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

You're running a plugin that allows "admin see all"... like advanced commands does

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

Unless the admin see all command is default to let clients see admin chat, then no. that's not the case here.
EDIT: i found out that it is not this plugin, i unloaded it and switched my team, and could still see chat.
EDIT2: It is Advanced commands, it seems like their admin see all chat is broken or something, i havent had time to even touch the config.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

Yeah, there's no reason this plugin would do something like that. The list of clients that the message is broadcast to is not modified at all, only the name and text colors are.

Re: [TF2/CS:S] Custom Chat Colors
 

I got a request for this plugin an option you could turn on.
What i would like on this plugin is that you could do something like this :

sm_cccprefix "#"

So you can still talk as normal , and you could talk with your colours using # before your sentence.

So :

say # hello test (should display your coloured name etc)

say hello test (should display normal css talk)

Sorry for my bad english

Would be very very usefull for me and probably more people and admins.

second suggestion :

Something so you could use 2 colours within the tag itself to make it even more customizable.

Because the plugin i used in eventscripts worked like this : 'Owner': '#green[#greyOW#defaultN#greyER#green]#green %s:#grey %s',


so your chat output could be fully customizable , but it has bugs with mixin colours etc and you couldn't use HEX colours like this one :D
