How to fix some plugin colors CS:GO allows:

By moving the chat or having something infront of it let's colors work properly for some reason. By having a space infront of all chat text will fix this.
I don't want the chat moved, i just want text in form of spaces infront of it by default on all messages. If it's possible to make or work when i message goes over one line that would be great also.
Examples:

Normal chat:

Hey
What's up?
Not much

What i want:

 Hey
 What's up?
 Not much

A message with much text (The colors would still work on the next line but it looks rubish):

 Hey
 Hey man, i've heard you were talking
to this one chick. What's up?
 Not much

Note:
This may not work in all circumstances but many of plugins that have colors in them won't show without this.
I know this for a fact because i've tested it with multiple plugins that allows me to have several prefixes. I added a prefix with a color and a space.

Let's say i added [Admin] but in green.
The colors would'nt show up without it. If i then added a another prefix it would not have color but the [Admin] would. Then by adding another with only a space everything would work propetly.

FAQ:
Why don't i just give all players a prefix?
If i have a plugin that displays chat messages the colors would not work propely.
This plugin need to work for whatever is displayed in chat.

public OnPluginStart()
{
	HookUserMessage(GetUserMessageId("SayText2"), OnSayText2, true);
}

public Action:OnSayText2(UserMsg:msg_id, Handle:bf, const clients[], iNumClients, bool:bReliable, bool:bInit) //parts of this function is borrowed from SCP
{
	new bool:bProtobuf = (CanTestFeatures() && GetFeatureStatus(FeatureType_Native, "GetUserMessageType") == FeatureStatus_Available && GetUserMessageType() == UM_Protobuf);

	decl String:sMsg[128];
	if(bProtobuf)
	{
		PbReadString(bf, "params", sMsg, sizeof(sMsg), 1);
		Format(sMsg, sizeof(sMsg), " %s", sMsg);
		PbSetString(bf, "params", sMsg, 1);
	}

	return Plugin_Changed;
}

Try something along those lines. If you want to format non-protobuf msgs, you'll have to grab the chat bool, translation name, name, and msg, the reparse them as a translation while adding your space in the msg., then pass it back with:

		BfWriteByte(bf, client);
		BfWriteByte(bf, bChat);
		BfWriteString(bf, sTranslation);

CS:GO does not support Bf. Use Protobuf instead.

If you read the post, the first section of code provided IS protobuf. I said the other for if they want to do the same for other stuff. Read closer next time.

What's the point of that, then?

In case the OP or anyone in the future needs to edit msgs in a similar manner for any other game. Might as well provide a foundation for them on how they would do it.
