OK, this one is a litte bit tough, because it leads to the question: what should happen, when a replacement exceeds the max. no. of characters? If the plugin would always ignore this very replacement rule, it would probably not be the expected behaviour (e.g. when you want to filter out bad language). So, I could try to implement this only for color flows: when the resulting string is too long, don't do anything. But due to the logic of replacements, this is not an easy thing to do. Will take some time... :cry:

First, changing "COLORFLOW" and "/COLORFLOW" with something short you will increase the text lenght limit, using something like "CLF" and "/CLF"

Also, you can add an option like:
"no limit" "1"

//I'm not sure how C++ and Pawn works, but the code must look like this
If (TEXT < textlimit - 7) // asuming textlimit is the default chat limit lenght and 7 the "CLF" + "/CLF" characters size
{continue}

Thank you for your suggestions! Using a shorter command for colorflows may be useful for writing rules in the config file, but this should not be needed to solve the problem. Since the expression 'COLORFLOW' does not appear in the resulting chat message itself, the character limit of a chat message does not apply here. I will have a look over the next days - so stay tuned...

This is not working with latest Chat-Processor by redwerewolf: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=286913

After some time of not looking into this plugin I finally released a new version 1.1.0 today!

The problems with the color flow are fixed now (no messages are cut off any more) plus the plugin is compatible with drixevel's chat-processor.

Have fun with it!

It works!!!
The plugin works smoothly (by the moment) and the colorflow don't show the {/COLORFLOW} thing when the text is too long!

Anyway the text is being cut sometimes
BUT!!
For some weird reason if you put 7 spaces after the colorflow in the replacement like this:

	"Kriztalknicerthanothers"
	{
		"mode"			"2"				// mode 2 means that the complete expression shall be replaced
		"penalty"		"0"
		"find"			"{Group:KRIZ}(.*){EXIT}"		// {EXIT} means that the chat processing shall stop after a match
		"replacement"		"{COLORFLOW:FF120F-FFFFFF-FFB90F}$1{/COLORFLOW}       "	// That's really cool: make a nice color flow!
	}

$1{/COLORFLOW}       "<---[Notice that 7 spaces!]

The problem is gone !

Sadly this means that if your chat text is 7 characters close to the limit that 7 characters will be cutted off, but holy cow who's gonna write that much! just avoiding that fixes the cutting problem

I have a request, could you implement the option to display a web page if the matching string is found?

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=173334

I use this plugin as a lite word filter, but it only catches words at the very start of the message, and not in the middle, and is case sensitive.

Ability to make the filter only work during specified date ranges would be cool too.

PHP Code:

enum                                       //  For IsDate()
{
    Month_None = 0,
    Month_Jan,
    Month_Feb,
    Month_Mar,
    Month_Apr,
    Month_May,
    Month_Jun,
    Month_Jul,
    Month_Aug,
    Month_Sep,
    Month_Oct,
    Month_Nov,
    Month_Dec
}

/*
    Returns true if the current date is within bounds.

    Omit StartDay = Check if month matches

    If end values are ommited, it'll go from the start date to the end of the month.

    OnMapStart,
    IsDate(.bForceRecalc = true);
    to recalculate the date

    IsDate(Month_Mar, 25, Month_Apr, 20) == IsEasterHoliday()
    IsDate(Month_Oct, 15) == IsHalloweenHoliday()
    IsDate(Month_Dec, 15) == IsDecemberHoliday()

    TODO: Check logic, it might be wrong?
*/
stock bool:IsDate(StartMonth = Month_None, StartDay = 0, EndMonth = Month_None, EndDay = 0, bool:bForceRecalc = false)
{
    static iMonth;
    static iDate;
    static bool:bFound = false;

    if (bForceRecalc)
    {
        bFound = false;
        iMonth = 0;
        iDate = 0;
    }

    if (!bFound)
    {
        new iTimeStamp = GetTime();
        decl String:szMonth[MAX_DIGITS], String:szDate[MAX_DIGITS];

        FormatTime(szMonth, sizeof(szMonth), "%m", iTimeStamp);
        FormatTime(szDate, sizeof(szDate),   "%d", iTimeStamp);

        iMonth = StringToInt(szMonth);
        iDate = StringToInt(szDate);
        bFound = true;
    }

    return (StartMonth == iMonth && StartDay <= iDate && !EndMonth && !EndDay) || (EndMonth && EndDay && (StartMonth <= iMonth && iMonth <= EndMonth) && (StartDay <= iDate && iDate <= EndDay));

This plugin breaks with https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=303671

[depthbomb]

After installing this plugin with simple-chatprocessor already installed, my simple config which would allow just one person (me) have rainbow text would not work (though that may be related to the config itself and not the plugin). Here is the config I used.

The status command shows that I am in the group but it does nothing with my text.

This could happen because by default the cvar

sm_chatfilter_admins

is OFF, and it will return to 0 every time the plugin starts (That means, every map change), just try :

sm_chatfilter_admins 1

(If this cvar is set on 0, the plugin will ignore admins, and that includes the rainbow thingy)

Also, I recommend you to put 7 spaces in between the last colorflow string and the last quotes, just like this:

replacement"		"{COLORFLOW:9400D3-4B0082-0000FF-00FF00-FFFF00-FF7F00-FF0000}$1{/COLORFLOW}       "

I'm not 100% sure if that last one works with such large ammount of values, but this fixes a text-cutting glitch that could happen with some text lenghts

Edit: Or, you can edit the .SP, change the default value from there and compile it.

I just found the time to take another look into my plugin and here we are with version 1.2.1 today!

I added two things:

1. You can now specify a "valid from" and/or a "valid to" value for each section. (Chdata's request). Have a peek into the default config file to find an example how to use these settings.
2. You can display any URL (also a request of Chdata). This plugin now enables the command 'sm_showurl', that can be used as a regular action. Find an example of this in the default config file.

Have fun with this!
