ColorChat Native




.: Description :.


Colorchat native that can be used by any plugin.

Pro : Instead of using colorchat include that duplicate code in every single plugin in which you use it, use a single plugin to handle colorchat.
Con : Should be a little slower than include, but as you don't plain to send it 1000 times per second, it's not a big deal.

Note : supports ML.



.: Natives :.

• client_print_color(index, sender, const fmt[], any:...)
• register_dictionary_colored(const filename[])

  Same as register_dictionary, but transform !g, !t and !n into colors code
  so you can use same ML Keys in normal chat or hudmessage or whereever you want

.: How to use ? :.


You have to start each text with ^4 or ^3 or ^2 or ^1 (or !t, !g, !n in ML files).

In .sma, use ^4 to display green, ^1 to display normal color (yellow by default), and ^3 to display the specified color (2nd arg).
In 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.

Colors for second arg are : a_player_index (use the specified player team color), Red, Blue and Grey.
Those color are applied by ^3 or !t tag.

I've added support for ColorChat stock, all you have to do is to replace at the top of .sma the line :

Code:

#include <colorchat> 

with

Code:

#include <chatcolor> 

.: Use Example :.

DON'T USE STOCK VERSION, SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH ML Thanks to Nextra who found my mistake, it should works fine now.
If you prefer to use a stock version that doesn't need an extra plugin to work, follow the following link :> Here <

Nice work man! :)

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

Rockin'! :up:

I think I will finally start using colorchat now :mrgreen:

It looks great, I just noticed two things:

Knowing your attention to detail, there is probably a good reason to use while() instead of replace_all().

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

Thanks for the blue color :)

Was first using replace_all, but that one check in every loop if string contain 'what[]', store position in string and check is there is enough place left to replace (+ this stock fails as you can get errors with it when you don't set good len params...). Since i'm replacing 2 chars with 2 chars, there shouldn't be any place problem. There could be a better stock though.
From what i've tried, pass directly ^3 or ^4 in calling native works, but from what i remember when was using color chat in the past, some times when multi formating, it is altered, i haven't made enough tests yet to know if this replace stuff can be removed, gonna try to put ^4 in ML keys to see what happen.

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

The problem with "^4" or the others in the ML is that it doesn't read '^' as the escape character. It reads it as "^^4".
So, you can do it with "!g" or "^4" or whatever you prefer, but you will need to end up using replace() to fix it.

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

Ok, so the problem is with ML, so, i keep that !g code stuff, gonna just use ^4 in strings where ML is not used.

[EDIT]

!g code replacement is now only for ML and is proceeded at map start.

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

this may come into conflict with Zombie_plague code.

cuz of " Send_TeamInfo(id, MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, g_szTeamName[iColor]) "
user's team on scoreboard will be screwed up when we use GREY(or RED, BLUE, too)

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

that i understand... i have to add !t !g and/or !n into the .sma of my plugins right?

good plugin i think...

and one more question...

its posible to force a color like "red, blue or grey"? for example i want to put a red message for TTs, CTs, and SPECS too...

its posible?

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

C... C... Cool!

Re: Native : ColorChat
 

You [edit]canHAVE TO[/edit] directly pass ^1, ^3 and ^4 in .sma. In other files as ML files you have to use !g etc..

Yes, just pass the color you want, and then use !t.
Color will be user team color if you specify player id + use color = DontChange.
