(Good) News everyone!
I have recoded this plugin from scratch and have rebuilt some of its functionality.
It will not work with DOD:S yet as I don't know how it functions at all, but we will figure that out some time soon. I initially added a beta feature for SayText (not 2) hook for games like DOD:S, but ended up figuring out that SayText would not work in this situation with its structure.
This has much bigger developer features and should most likely get rid of the repeating chat message issue (as it now does individual checks before sending chat messages). The developer features include per-client forward for things such as user ignore systems, and a 2nd forward (in addition to the "old one") that uses a more stable system to check for recipients.
Finally, this version, when it comes out, will require you guys to not only update the plugin itself but also the translation files. For the sake of customization, I have changed the system so that the type of chat message could be gotten a keyvalue entry, so for example:

"Phrases"
{
	"Cstrike_Chat_CT_Loc"
	{
		"#format"	"{1:s},{2:s}"
		"en"			"
(Counter-Terrorist) {1} 
:  {2}"
	}
}

This looks like it's a team chat message, and in the old plugin we checked this through hard-coded message checking like this:

PHP Code:

        if (StrContains(cpTranslationName, "all", false) != -1)
        {
            g_CurrentChatType = g_CurrentChatType | CHATFLAGS_ALL;
        }
        if (StrContains(cpTranslationName, "team", false) != -1
        ||     StrContains(cpTranslationName, "survivor", false) != -1 
        ||    StrContains(cpTranslationName, "infected", false) != -1
        ||    StrContains(cpTranslationName, "Cstrike_Chat_CT", false) != -1 
        ||    StrContains(cpTranslationName, "Cstrike_Chat_T", false) != -1)
        {
            g_CurrentChatType = g_CurrentChatType | CHATFLAGS_TEAM;
        }
        if (StrContains(cpTranslationName, "spec", false) != -1)
        {
            g_CurrentChatType = g_CurrentChatType | CHATFLAGS_SPEC;
        }
        if (StrContains(cpTranslationName, "dead", false) != -1)
        {
            g_CurrentChatType = g_CurrentChatType | CHATFLAGS_DEAD;
        } 


I didn't like this so the system is now changed, so you can now do this:

"Phrases"
{
	"Cstrike_Chat_CT_Loc"
	{
		"#format"	"{1:s},{2:s}"
		"en"			"
(Counter-Terrorist) {1} 
:  {2}"
		"scp_teamchat"   "1"
	}
}

This would make it easier to integrate with different and weirdly structured games and should not mess with the SourceMod translation system as I tried to make the key names as specific and unlanguage-like as possible.
This change, however, only contributes to the GetMessageFlags() native, which I hope will be used more often from now on.
I have also added a SetMessageFlags() for developers who are looking into building plugins such as Deadchat and are looking into a more clean looking environment for other plugins who use this same plugin.

I like to see progress in this =)

I am exited to see many good Plugins using this! Thank you also to not dump DODS =)

PM me if you need more help regarding DODS. Testing on a DODS-Server is also no problem for me

I just looked over this, and it looks good. Just a couple of things:

• In a couple of places, you attempt to call CloseHandle on a convar Handle. You can't close those.
• You're calling Updater_RemovePlugin() when the "updater" library is removed. This will most likely cause an error, since if Updater is unloaded (which is the only time when the library should be removed), its natives will become invalid. If Updater is unloaded, this plugin is obviously no longer being monitored for updates (since Updater doesn't exist anymore).
• You're closing some global Handles on OnPluginEnd. This is unneccessary. If a plugin unloads, all of its memory is automatically freed.

Is it possible to add something to remove any thing to put into the OnChatMessage? Like a disabler or even something to reset it.

Whuh?

Like a lot of uses of OnChatMessage is for color. I was wondering if a function could be made to remove or reset the color.

The upcoming version will have a priority system added to its forwards. You could just set the priority to really low so you get called last and then remove all the colors in the chat.

Why not just remove the plugins that are adding color?

Version 1.1.3 is out to fix the above.

I don't see anything different...?
