It is possible to check game at runtime and use different functions depending on the version of the engine.

I know, but I'm leaving this to plugin authors.

Pretty sure that the function names being identical between the two files presents a problem with that... compile errors when attempting to include both files, for example.

Yes, creating different functions having the same name was really bad idea.

I see. Damn, I was hoping you said otherwise But thanks for the clarification

By the way, does anyone know if in fact the mods themselves store the chat colors in the client.dll? I'm curious as to what determines what team colors is used to see if I can change it (at least client side). I wish the chat colors were in the ClientScheme.res file as it's so easy to modify colors there (such as the color to HINT type of text).

I think it sucks that \x03 controls four different colors and doesn't let you mix them. and yet \x02 can only be used under certain conditions, which is also for the team color. Would there be any way to manipulate that so that it would be like the example below through an include or plugin?

\x01 Default color
\x02 Light green
\x03 Blue
\x04 Red
\x05 Grey
\x06 Green/Orange
\x07 Olive
\x08 Black/Yellow

Not only that, but since chat messages appear in the console window, the console has additional colors that appear there as well. In L4D as an example, there's white, cyan, and another shade of both red and green. Would it be possible to utilize those colors in chat as well?

ReplyToCommand is just a shortcut that sends message destined for client 0 using PrintToServer, while sending replies to any other client using PrintToChat.

No, it uses reply source which corresponds to how command was entered - console or chat trigger. Not everyone is using chat, you know.

As it is, ReplyToCommand is a stock anyway.
