My fellow admins and I have found that since the release of the latest TF2 update (trading enabled) our servers have become overcome with talk over item swaps and the like.
We wish to foster community involvement, but not at the cost of and enjoyable interaction, so we're encouraging the use of text chat over voice chat. Even with this, we find that the chat box is flooded at times and is an annoyance to those who are disinterested.
My plugin request is as follows:
1- Allow for chat that can be hidden/shown using CLIENTPREFS. Choosing whether or not to show this channel should be easy to set for the user. (such as !settings or !channels with a menu)
2- Allow for multiple such "channels" BEYOND normal chat (2 minimum)
3- Allow the channels to be named via CVAR
4- If possible, allow the channels to be both labeled and colored
(Exampled: chat in the 'trading channel' would have [TRADING:] and be yellow)
5- Allow use of these channels by prefacing normal chat with special characters such as !c1 for channel 1, etc. (or other suggestion you may have)
If anyone is interested in working with me on this plugin, please contact me at
[email protected] or of course this thread with suggestions you may have and a quote for your time to develop and support such a plugin
