Simple Chat Colors

Description:

Allows admins to set chat colors and tags for players or groups of players.

Console Variables:

None.

Commands:

sm_reloadscc - Reloads the config file

Installation:

Place the simple-chatcolors.smx in the /sourcemod/plugins dir.
Place the simple-chatcolors.cfg file in the /sourcemod/configs dir.

Notes:

This plugin uses the Simple Chat Processor to manipulate chat. This is a very different plugin from the previous versions. There are no override commands, or cvars. It now uses the SMLIB colors include file as well.

Reserved. (Config file instructions coming soon!)

I've upgraded my server's simple chat plugins to 2.0, and now the simple chat colors config file throws errors when loaded / reloaded:

11:24:03 KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\simple-chatcolors.cfg KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\simple-chatcolors.cfg

The config file is saved as utf-8. It loads correctly when saved as ANSI. Before we updated, it loaded fine as utf-8.

Edit: It doesn't log the error unfortunately. When I reload the simple chat colors plugin, no errors are thrown. But in-game, the tags defined in the cfg aren't displaying. When I use sm_reloadscc, the KeyValues Error is thrown in console only.

Check my pm for the cfg file.

I need more of the error message. There should be a line number reference. I do not think there is anything that would prevent utf-8 from functioning properly. I did change the way the config file is loaded. I did this to mainly make the keys optional. So blank keys are not needed anymore. I am looking at the code now, but a edit of your post with more error info would be great.

Edit:

I think that error is related to the KvValues function not reconizing a closed group due to a utf-8 char being near it, or right before it. Please post config file. The file, not a copy and paste.

Thanks.

Nice, I was looking forward to a newer version of SCC. I'll try this on one of my servers and make sure it's good to go before I replace SCCold. Glad to see some new colors.

The bug with players that use { and } in their name still exists.

My Name: {test}Snaggle [UK]
How it looks in game: [Tag] ]{test}Snaggle [UK]


The ] in the name will appear for anyone who uses {} in their name. Anyway to fix that?

[Antithasys]

Since I do not parse the text myself, I just send to to SMLIB and the sort, the problem has to be there. I will ask berni if he see's a reason for it.

Okay thanks and congratulations on super mod

Another quick question, can I assign a tag to everyone with a certain flag that is not in a group? For example I have a plugin that gives certain players the flag "S", but they are not in any groups.

[Antithasys]

I think you are confusing "groups" with admin groups. There is no link between these. Think of these groups as completely separate, but could share the same name. So, just create a group in the config that has the correct, valid, flag. Name it whatever you want, and apply the colors and tags.

... and thanks!

Hi Antithasys,

I just tried this on one of my lightly used servers for evaluation, and I seem to be having some color issues. Not all of the colors defined by SMLIB for TF2 seem to be working (specifically orange, haven't tested black), and some of the standard colors aren't right e.g. blue = green.

I used my admin_colors definitions from the original SCC, but changed all the color keyvalues with the ones defined by SMLIB colors. No SM error logs were found, and the normal logs show 2 lines from simple-chatprocessor.smx:

L 09/22/2011 - 22:57:44: [simple-chatprocessor.smx] [SCP] Recognized mod [Team Fortress 2].
L 09/22/2011 - 22:57:44: [simple-chatprocessor.smx] [SCP] Loading translation file [scp.tf.phrases].

Not sure what the issue may be, but I just figured I would send some info your way. Let me know if you need anything else log or configuration wise from my server.
