Here's the pre-regex one. How is regex not a good tool for this?

I have updated morecolors.inc to 1.7.0 to support CS:GO. However, I don't trust it enough yet. It would be great if some people could test it for me before I commit it to be final.

Link: https://bitbucket.org/Doctor_McKay/p...morecolors.inc

This update also changed the way team colors are handled in DoD:S. If there are other Source games that don't have SayText2, their team colors can be added easily.

Edit: link is now 1.7.1. 1.7.1 adds feature status checking.

Double edit: link is now 1.7.2, which removes CS:GO support.

{teamcolor} wont be stripped again in DoD:S
it is not support \x03 color code.
Also you'd say that this required latest include files from snapshots 3747+, otherwise plugin that compiled against 1.7.0 morecolors with older binaries can throw an error

if(GetUserMessageType() == UM_Protobuf) {

if(GetFeatureStatus(FeatureType_Native, "GetUserMessageType") == FeatureStatus_Available && GetUserMessageType() == UM_Protobuf) {

Technically should also check CanTestFeatures, but feature testing has been around since 1.3.

EDIT: If you want full backwards compatibility, GetUserMessageType also needs to be marked as optional in AskPluginLoad2.

If it's DoD:S, it will later replace the \x03 with the proper team color. Believe it or not, DoD:S is the one game I actually did test this in.

Can you help me out here please. / Using latest dev build for CS:GO support.

What is the color code highlighted in bold, that needs to be inserted for it to work properly.

{ "en" "{RED}" }

I wasn't really aware that CS:GO didn't support hex colors. Someone should just update the original colors to support protobuf messages. I might do it later if I find the time.

It does not work for csgo

For example this plugin

#pragma semicolon 1

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <cstrike>

#include <morecolors>

public Plugin:myinfo = {
    name = "Test colors",
    author = "Altex",
    description = "Test colors",
    version = "1.0",
    url = ""
};

public OnPluginStart() {
    RegConsoleCmd("test", TestCmd, "Test");
}

public Action:TestCmd(client, args) {
    CPrintToChatAll("test {green}green {red}red {blue}blue {orange}orange");
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

will produce the following output

[dordnung]

Yes, CS:GO doesn't support hex colors

[Dr. McKay]

The 1.7 beta has been updated to 1.7.2. This update removes CS:GO support. If you want to use colors in CS:GO, this version of colors.inc should work.
