ColorChat

.: Description :.


Finally a real native for colorchat.



.: Natives :.

• client_print_color(id, color=DontChange, const fmt[], any:...)
• client_print_color2(id, sender, const fmt[], any:...)

  Same as client_print_color excepted you set team color according to sender index

.: Stock :.

• register_dictionary_colored(const filename[])

  Same as register_dictionary, but transform !g, !t and !n into colors code
  so you can use same ML Keys in normal chat or hudmessage or whereever you want
  It's not required at all to use this, you can directly put in a UTF-8 WITHOUT BOM file, 1 3 and 4,
  for this, use npp and hit Alt + corresponding key (1 2 or 4), you should respectively see (SOH) (ETX) and (EOT).
  if you still want to use !n !g and !t, use this stock and enjoy the compiled plugin increased size

.: Notes :.


You can find usage example on ColorChat fake native thread



.: Requirements :.


You need the Rage Module to be loaded in order the submodule work.

Nice job!

Great job with this Connor!

[Xalus]

Question,

becuase with the other version without Rage, it had problems with ^n.
Is it fixed with this?

[ConnorMcLeod]

What you mean ^n ???
In .sma you have to pass ^1 ^3 and ^4, and in ML file, either you directly use 1 3 4 (see first post), either you use !n !g and !t and then you need to use register_dictionary_colored.

nice connor,
but i write it into the amxmodx_mm, I think that will be more efficient than your(at least for me)

PHP Code:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL client_print_color(AMX *amx, cell *params)
{
    if (params[2] < 0 || params[2] > 3)
    {
        LogError(amx, AMX_ERR_NATIVE, "Invalid color index %d", params[2]);
        return 0;
    }
    int len;
    char *msg;
    if (params[1] ==0)
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= gpGlobals->maxClients; ++i)
        {
            CPlayer *pPlayer = GET_PLAYER_POINTER_I(i);
            if (pPlayer->ingame)
            {
                g_langMngr.SetDefLang(i);
                msg = format_amxstring(amx, params, 3, len);
                msg[len++] = '\n';
                msg[len] = 0;
                if (params[2])
                {
                    const char szTeamName[4][16] = 
                    {
                         "",
                         "TERRORIST",
                         "CT",
                         "SPECTATOR"
                    };
                    MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gmsgTeamInfo, NULL, pPlayer->pEdict);
                        WRITE_BYTE(i);
                        WRITE_STRING(szTeamName[params[2]]);
                    MESSAGE_END();
                }
                MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gmsgSayText, NULL, pPlayer->pEdict);
                    WRITE_BYTE(i);
                    WRITE_STRING(msg);
                MESSAGE_END();
            }
        }
    }else
    {
        int index = params[1];
 
        if (index < 1 || index > gpGlobals->maxClients)
        {
            LogError(amx, AMX_ERR_NATIVE, "Invalid player id %d", index);
            return 0;
        }
        CPlayer *pPlayer = GET_PLAYER_POINTER_I(index);
        if (pPlayer->ingame)
        {
            g_langMngr.SetDefLang(index);
            msg = format_amxstring(amx, params, 3, len);
            msg[len++] = '\n';
            msg[len] = 0;
            if (params[2])
            {
                const char szTeamName[4][16] = 
                {
                    "",
                    "TERRORIST",
                    "CT",
                    "SPECTATOR"
                };
                MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gmsgTeamInfo, NULL, pPlayer->pEdict);
                    WRITE_BYTE(index);
                    WRITE_STRING(szTeamName[params[2]]);
                MESSAGE_END();
            }
            MESSAGE_BEGIN(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gmsgSayText, NULL, pPlayer->pEdict);
                WRITE_BYTE(index);
                WRITE_STRING(msg);
            MESSAGE_END();
        }
    }
    return len;
};

^n -> Space in hudmessages,
If U added that in ML file, with ur register_dictionary_colored, it didn't show,
So there wasn't a space.

Didn't know, should be the same with that version.
So you mean hudmessages are broken after you use register_dictionary_colored on a ml file ?

Edit : Just had an idea, i you know that a file will be proceeded with register_dictionary_colored, try to change all ^n with ^^n, i think the problem may be that strings are formated 2 times.

Why would it be more efficient ?
Your way gonna change players place in scoreboard (only for themselves but still), also you should make sure the message length is 191 max.
Anyway you would have to recompile any new amxx update.
