TF2 has PURPLE color in chat with the halloween update.

Doh I hear it's part of the Yellow, black, text issue.

I wish there was a way to force the variable color to a specific color. TF2 does it, I wish sourcemod could hack in there and do it too!

As far as I know the only way would be displaying a fake "item found" message with the yellow/purple color for each client that connects, but that seems stupid .

I was on a Lotus TF2 server today and noticed they had purple and yellow advertisements. Does anyone know how they do that? I suppose a custom plugin....

Was that after an unusual uncrate / item found event?
Unless valve fixed the colors, it's unlikely that you can control them.

stock SQL_TQueryF(Handle:database, SQLTCallback:callback, any:data, DBPriority:priority=DBPrio_Normal, const String:format[], any:...);

I'm used to just pass _ as data param if i don't need anything, but since your stock doesn't have a default value, i need to set it to 0 myself. Not a big deal, but SQL_TQuery has any:data=0.

Nope, it was their own advertisements. They are controlling them in some way. They used it for phrases like 'Become a donator and get....'. The word donator would be purple and the rest in another color.

Ask Afronanny then

I'm not investing time in research for TF2, but if someone comes up with a solution I'm ready to implement.

Pretty sure you can still copy the console message into something like NP++ and it will give you the control characters they're using. For Purple it was a bunch thrown together.

I should also note if you don't find a item with that colour, the text will show up as Black. Unless if this was recently fixed.

It's \x06 for item colors. It (the client) uses the color that corresponds to the item quality from the last item_found event the client saw (or black if no event was seen yet).
