History
With mani admin plugin we were able to set players colours and rendering, this was missing from SM, so made this plugin so that we can use it.
PS. Its really funny setting a player or even an entire team to 'invisable' for a special knife round =P
Target Audience
If you are a n00b, you NEED this
What does it do?
With sm_colour you can change a players colour and the opacity of that players colour so that they appear, green, red, blue, pink and so on.
Then with sm_render it alters the players rendering, with some amusing results, there are 26 levels to play with, I'll let you find the funny ones.
Some Screenies:
ConVar's
These are the ConVar's used by this plugin
sm_colour_version
Just a version stamp for tracking
Commands
These commands can be used via the clients console while in game:
sm_colour <#userid|name|team|all> <RED 0-255> <GREEN 0-255> <BLUE 0-255> <OPACITY 0-255>
sm_color <#userid|name|team|all> <RED 0-255> <GREEN 0-255> <BLUE 0-255> <OPACITY 0-255>
Examples:
sm_colour moggiex 0 255 0 150 - This would make me green
sm_colour moggiex 0 0 0 0 - This would make me black
sm_colour @all 0 0 0 0 - This would make everyone black (funny as u like for dark maps)
sm_colour @all 255 255 255 0 - would set the colours back to normal
sm_render <#userid|name|team|all> <RENDER 0-26>
Examples:
sm_render moggiex 5 - This makes me 'pulse'
sm_render moggiex 7 - This makes me dissapear!
sm_render @all 7 - This makes everyone dissapear! (use this for the ultimate MAYHEM!)
sm_render moggiex 0 - This makes me re-appear (back to normal)

Things to do
- Errr no idea, I even added error trapping around the 0-255 and render 0-26 values :-) and even learnt how to make a transaltion file, with multiple formats and even alter the colouring of the messaging back!
