The problem is that I get a light green color instead of the team colors I am expected to get with CS:S.

Am I missing something?

If you are using PrintToChat it will always be light green.

dark green works in print to chat as well...

That's great news.

Is it worth posting your method for other authors to make use of?

What Saul did in post #10 is what you need to do.

Basically, you start a "SayText2" message, writebyte the client number, writebyte true and then writestring the text.

Here is exactly what I did in the cheer plugin.

new Handle:hMessage = StartMessageAll("SayText2");
BfWriteByte(hMessage, client);
BfWriteByte(hMessage, true);
BfWriteString(hMessage, "\x03%s1 \x04cheered!!!");
BfWriteString(hMessage, name);
EndMessage();

Things to note that are instead of using %s, %s you need to use %s1, %s2 for example.

You WriteString the test with the formats in it and then you write all the parameters after, in order.

Here is a radio message example:

new Handle:hMessage = StartMessageAll("SayText2");
BfWriteByte(hMessage, client);
BfWriteByte(hMessage, true);
BfWriteString(hMessage,'Game_radio_location');
BfWriteString(hMessage,'Player Name');
BfWriteString(hMessage,'Location');
BfWriteString(hMessage,'Radio Message');
EndMessage();
