Damn got here too late..

They did this in adminlisten, didn't they?

I toldya!

Hehe.

Also, with addition write_bytes, you can write the color, at least in TS.

I suppose there must be other ways to do it too.

TS = 1
DS = 0

Otherwise it will print in white. I also noticed if you use x^04 instead for the "location color", it will print in green text. So it seems you can print text in red, blue, white, or green. That's all that is available for CS anyways. The colors don't seem to work in anything else other than the SayText message, but I could be wrong about that.

Thank you very much. It works well.
Best regards.

To Damaged Soul

It goes without saying that I appreciate that your have done.

Would you do me a favor to tell me where I can find the reference about hlds messages?
I have download some hl standard sdk, but I think it's no help to me..
thanks a lot

"Location color" refers to Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. When you say something, the location of where you are in the map appears in green next to your name.

I'm probably just getting my hopes up, but will the colors work for client_print, or only the SayText message?

Also, where did you get that information from?

maybe it be possible to access client dll of every persons every time a message is send and change its apperance. might need some good hacking

Typing 'meta game' in the console will give you a list of messages. I hate to mention it, but you could get more information about any message by using my Message Logging plugin if you'd like. That's probably the best way to get the information you'd need.

I don't think that would really be possible. The client DLL is on the client's machine. That's where it must interpret the 0x01-0x04 control codes into colors. The server doesn't have access to the code in the client's DLL. Maybe there's some other hidden function in the server DLL that will deal with colors, but that would take some hack work that I don't have time for right now because I've been trying to do some HL2 stuff. This topic made me investigate it on CSS too. I've been trying see how SayText works in that. The colors don't seem to work the same way and trying to send a SayText keeps cutting off one the characters. But that's besides the point.

Yeah I figured as such with the location thing. And I also tried client_print already. Doesn't seem to work. I got the information from cstrike/resource/cstrike_english.txt. I had to pull it out of the GCF file.
