I am trying to make chat have team colors in it for CS:S.

I have tried putting "\x03" into the chat strings. I have also actually inserted a 3 into the string.

In both cases, I get light green text.

Has something changed in CS:S so this will not work any more?

I'm pretty sure you need \x01 at the start of the start to 'enable' colour mode

I tried that, it had no effect. \x03 is still light green regardless of team.

Oh right \x02 is team isn't it?

Tried that too....\x02 does nothing

I know this was a difficult thing to acheive with Eventcripts but it was achieved here

I don't know if that's the slightest bit helpful but...

/me crosses fingers

Event scripts seems to do basically the same thing, it just doesn't actually work.

I read somewhere that the team color stuff changed with one of the patches valved released in March. Does anyone know anything about this?

I do know that the Official HLstatsX Ingame Plugin is very nearly there.

It works some of the time

I really wish Tobias would fix this aspect of his plugin too.

\x03 has no effect in dods (white) \x04 is dark green in css, and red in dods.

I'm the person that made the SayText2 addon for ES, and its rather simple how it works. I'm sure there is a usermessage function available for SourcePawn, but heres the code:

stock SayText2( client, index, type, const String:szMsg[] )
{
   if (strlen(szMsg) > 191){
      LogError("Disallow string len(%d) > 191", strlen(szMsg));
      return;
   }

   new Handle:hBf;
   if (!client)
      hBf = StartMessageAll("SayText2");
   else hBf = StartMessageOne("SayText2", client);

   if (hBf != INVALID_HANDLE)
   {
      BfWriteByte(hBf, index);
      BfWriteByte(hBf, true);
      BfWriteString(hBf, szMsg);
      EndMessage();
   }
}
