[Source 2013] Custom Chat Colors

v3.1.0

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.

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

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.

[ReFlexPoison]

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

[Dr. McKay]

Fine...

[Horsedick]

I liked the name as it was

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

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.

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!

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.

[AeroAcrobat]

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

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