I believe this is having the same issues the other SCP had so this was developed to prevent it

Didn't know about that plugin, thanks.

This bit of code is meant to fix that... in the new update that is.

PHP Code:

Color_StripFromChatText(cpTranslationName, cpTranslationName, sizeof(cpTranslationName));


...


/**
 * Credit Goes to SMlib
 */

stock Color_StripFromChatText(const String:input[], String:output[], size)
{
    new x = 0;
    for (new i=0; input[i] != '\0'; i++) 
    {
    
        if (x + 1 == size) 
        {
            break;
        }

        new char = input[i];
        
        if (char > 0x08) 
        {
            output[x++] = char;
        }
    }
    
    output[x] = '\0';
}

How do you actually go abouts finding the required items to do translations/phrases for other games? EG: GoldenEye Source, Nuclear Dawn, Half-Life 2: DeathMatch, Garrys Mod, etc, etc, etc?

Or are they just copies of the generic template, like say you just copy TF2's one an simply rename TF_ to game_? An of course change the outputs accordingly.

As if I knew, I'd have helped out a bit an released a load. As I have several gaming servers and would love to run this on all of them but can't til I learn how to do the phrases, hehe. :-)

From what I know, there is a file located in the "resources" folder named something like cstrike_english.txt. Find a file like that and find the translation names for chat messages.

This version should definitely be better for developers and for me to support; I have also fixed (or attempted to fix) the issue that HorseDick was talking about with the colors appearing in the chat if you have a specific string entered. Developers, if you could take a look at the code and give me feedback, it'd be awesome. Thank you.

Tried it out on a test server. Instantly errors out when I typed something.
