Advanced Menu Say for Admins Only, Non-Admins & Private Messages
What does it do & Why?
This plugin creates menu messages, just like sm_msay does in the base SM commands, but this plugin builds upon these and adds FOUR new commands:
sm_amsay <message> - sends message as a menu panel to admins only
Enables an admin to send a 'menu' message to just other admins with the ADMIN_CHAT flag enabled
sm_pmsay <name or #userid> <message> - sends private message as a menu panel
Because the private message system in the SM base chat commands prints a single message in the chat which gets spammed to hell and lost in the rest of the chat (I hate it, you might as well mash the keyboard), this plugin makes a menu for that as well!
sm_namsay <message> - sends message to non-admins as a menu panel
I've added this for messaging non-admins in a menu panel as well.
sm_hudsay [colour] <message>
This is new in v2.1 and is purely thanks to spotting this in the the
spray tracer plugin by nican.
This adds in orangebox games like TF2 and DOD:S, the ability to use hud messages, like were in HL:1 from AMX MOD and AdminMod.
Valid colours: White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Cyan, Orange, Pink, Olive, Lime, Violet, Lightblue
What does it look like?
Here are two examples of it in action, just think how many times your message has been missed!
sm_pmsay J!m "oi j!m ya num nut can you see this?"
sm_amsay "Slap the crap out of j!m next round?"
sm_hudsay green This is a test message

I can only think that you may want to address non admins, which I'll add later... DONE in V2.0
