Is it hardcoded or can I change it so it shows playername:message instead of ADMIN:message?

[retsam]

Im sure its possible since it shows the names to admins. Youd just have to figure out what code that was and show the name to all, instead of just admins.

I can't find the file it uses -.-
It would be better if I could create an entirely new plugin instead of modifying a base sourcemod component.

[BrutalGoerge]

i think sm_show_activity 15 will do it, not sure though, that cvar always confuses me. lol

[Dragonshadow]

I found the file is basechat.sp (Lol, I just woke up, opened the folder, and saw it, seriously), but I'm trying to find out what to take out of it to make a new plugin.

This is the entire contents of the smcsay action:

PHP Code:

public Action:Command_SmCsay(client, args)
{
 if (args < 1)
 {
  ReplyToCommand(client, "[SM] Usage: sm_csay <message>");
  return Plugin_Handled; 
 }
 
 decl String:text[192];
 GetCmdArgString(text, sizeof(text));
 
 DisplayCenterTextToAll(client, text);
 
 LogAction(client, -1, "%L triggered sm_csay (text %s)", client, text);
 
 return Plugin_Handled;  
} 


I guess all I need to do (if modifying basechat.sp) is add in

PHP Code:

decl String:name[64];
 GetClientName(client, name, sizeof(name)); 


And change some small things, so it is now:

PHP Code:

public Action:Command_SmCsay(client, args)
{
 if (args < 1)
 {
  ReplyToCommand(client, "[SM] Usage: sm_csay <message>");
  return Plugin_Handled; 
 }
 
 decl String:text[192];
 GetCmdArgString(text, sizeof(text));
 
 decl String:name[64];
 GetClientName(client, name, sizeof(name));
 
 DisplayCenterTextToAll(name, text);
 
 LogAction(client, -1, "%L triggered sm_csay (text %s)", client, text);
 
 return Plugin_Handled;  
} 


And change this in command_saychat

PHP Code:

 else if (msgStart == 3 && CheckCommandAccess(client, "sm_csay", ADMFLAG_CHAT)) // sm_csay alias
 {
  DisplayCenterTextToAll(client, message);
  LogAction(client, -1, "%L triggered sm_csay (text %s)", client, text);  
 } 


to

PHP Code:

 else if (msgStart == 3 && CheckCommandAccess(client, "sm_csay", ADMFLAG_CHAT)) // sm_csay alias
 {
  DisplayCenterTextToAll(name, message);
  LogAction(client, -1, "%L triggered sm_csay (text %s)", client, text);  
 } 


Now, how can I turn this into a standalone plugin that overwrites (overtakes?) control to itself instead of using basechat?

Edit:

come to think of it, since they are exactly the same except for these 2-3 changes, si there a way to prevent a plugin from loading and load another instead?

[Dragonshadow]

Bah, I've screwed something up in my modified script.

PHP Code:

basechatmod2.sp(137) : error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 1)
basechatmod2.sp(246) : error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 1) 


Said lines are:

PHP Code:

DisplayCenterTextToAll(name, message); 


Both on lines 137 and 246.

If I change it to

PHP Code:

DisplayCenterTextToAll(client, name, message); 


I get an error 92

PHP Code:

basechatmod2.sp(137) : error 092: number of arguments does not match definition 


(I added a cvar to enable/disable the new style, but I'm pretty sure that isn't what is screwing this up)

DisplayCenterTextToAll() takes in an integer (client index) and a string (message) as parameters. From basechat.sp:

PHP Code:

DisplayCenterTextToAll(client, String:message[])
{
    new String:nameBuf[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];

    for (new i = 1; i < MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(i) || IsFakeClient(i))
        {
            continue;
        }
        FormatActivitySource(client, i, nameBuf, sizeof(nameBuf));
        PrintCenterText(i, "%s: %s", nameBuf, message);
    }
} 


As you can see, the function formats the name of the player with FormatActivitySource, which is controlled by the sm_show_activity cvar. Either change the value of that cvar to show the names to all players, or replace the function with your own code.

Offtopic: for some reason the string param isnt const and the loop doesnt include the last player slot

[retsam]

Yeah, as stated above, you just need to edit the sm_show_activity cvar to show the names.

I did not even know this. Learn something new everyday.

[antihacker]

p3tsin i think its an bug, you should fill an bug report.

Well, since this is still here, and I've already asked the question, Can someone answer this?:

is there a way to prevent a plugin from loading and load another instead?

I want my plugin to override the normal basechat plugin, because if both were running I'm sure it would screw stuff up.
