*
*   Random Quotes
*
*   by Lt Llama
*
*  WHAT IS THIS?
*  ====================
*   Some things people say on servers should be immortalized.
*   And who says only celebrities deserve to be quoted?
*   Now you can add cool quotes from your gaming buddys.
*   The plugin picks a random line from the quote file and shows it in intervals.
*   Admins with ADMIN_CFG access can add new quotes.
*
*   Or just any random messages you want the players to see.
*
*  CVARS
*  =======================
*   amx_quote_interval <seconds> : sets the interval when quotes are shown. (default 10 minutes)
*   amx_showquotee <1/0>        : 1 = show quote and quoteds name. 0 = show only quote
*   amx_quote_hud <1/0>        : 1 = show quote on hud. 0 = show quote in chat
*                 (If in chat the quoted is not shown).
*
*   To change a cvar ingame type:
*   amx_cvar amx_showquotee <0/1>
*   amx_cvar amx_quote_hud <0/1>
*
*   (does not work with amx_quote_interval as this is a task looping)
*
*  USER COMMANDS
*  =============
*   amx_addquote      : To add a simple quote type
*              amx_quote "Cows are cool"
*            : To add a quote and quoted
*              amx_quote "Cows are cool # Lt Llama"
*              (Don't forget put "" around the string)
*  VERSIONS
*  ========
*  1.1      - Added amx_quote_hud + enlarged arrays.
*  1.0      - First working version (2006-09-19)

Example of content of the randomquotes.cfg:

/*** START OF RANDOM QUOTES FILE ***\ Cows are cool My isp gives me random high pings because they hate me # Player I don't get this map # Player Pull your mouse down as much as you can # Player(2) I'm eating my tea # Player How do you make maps for TFC? # Player(32)

Hope you find it useful

Nice one! +Karama for you!

Its a good idea and plugin, however i would prefer that the quotes be shown in normal chat area (print_chat perhaps?) and also if "#" be taken out of quotes which are not quoted from the players. I mean just show the quote and nothing else like the # or who quoted it . Hmmm but if the text is show in the chat are (print_chat) I suppose there will be a max character # restriction? so long quotes may get cut off whereas in hud show message the quote can be quite long.

hmm i dunno , just some things i would prefer but hey thats just me , but overall nice job on the plugin.

I add a cvar where you can choose print_chat or hud_message.
I keep the # sign in the hud message, me wubs # signs .
The length is no problem, I can make a length check before printing to print_chat, if its to long i'll print it as a hud_message.

Hey thanxx and nice job +Karma

Waiting for the updated/edited version

[Lt Llama]

I have to change the way it picks a quote to. No need to store every quote in an array. Takes to much memory. Should have thought of that before.

[Lt Llama]

Updated to 1.1.
Added a cvar to select if you want the quote to be shown on hud or in chat.
Havent changed the way it picks the quotes yet. I'll do that later.

Test and see if it works for you

can you change the color of the text in normal chat mode?

Not for client_print but it can be changed when its a hud message.
I could build in a color selection menu but I think its a bit overhead for this small plugin.

If you don't like the color of the hudmessage look up this line:

set_hudmessage( 200, 100, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0, 6.0, 20.0, 0.3, 0.3, 4 )

where the first three numbers are 200 = red, 100 = green, 0 = blue.
Change to what you like in the code and paste the source here to compile:
http://www.amxmodx.org/webcompiler.cgi

and Voila you have just made your own version of Random quotes.
