Reserved. (Config file instructions coming soon!)

Is there any instructions on how to add the tags and such because i cannot find out how to do it!
I am a little new to the server making and such, but i can handle most of it, im also new to this website aswell too. But what you meant about The instructions in the config coming soon, thats how to show you how to add the tags, and such like that, right?

I've upgraded my server's simple chat plugins to 2.0, and now the simple chat colors config file throws errors when loaded / reloaded:

11:24:03 KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\simple-chatcolors.cfg KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\simple-chatcolors.cfg

The config file is saved as utf-8. It loads correctly when saved as ANSI. Before we updated, it loaded fine as utf-8.

Edit: It doesn't log the error unfortunately. When I reload the simple chat colors plugin, no errors are thrown. But in-game, the tags defined in the cfg aren't displaying. When I use sm_reloadscc, the KeyValues Error is thrown in console only.

Check my pm for the cfg file.

I need more of the error message. There should be a line number reference. I do not think there is anything that would prevent utf-8 from functioning properly. I did change the way the config file is loaded. I did this to mainly make the keys optional. So blank keys are not needed anymore. I am looking at the code now, but a edit of your post with more error info would be great.

Edit:

I think that error is related to the KvValues function not reconizing a closed group due to a utf-8 char being near it, or right before it. Please post config file. The file, not a copy and paste.

Thanks.

Nice, I was looking forward to a newer version of SCC. I'll try this on one of my servers and make sure it's good to go before I replace SCCold. Glad to see some new colors.

The bug with players that use { and } in their name still exists.

My Name: {test}Snaggle [UK]
How it looks in game: [Tag] ]{test}Snaggle [UK]


The ] in the name will appear for anyone who uses {} in their name. Anyway to fix that?

[Antithasys]

Since I do not parse the text myself, I just send to to SMLIB and the sort, the problem has to be there. I will ask berni if he see's a reason for it.

Since a fix for this didn't require a code change on my part, I went ahead and looked at the SMLIB code and think I found the issue. The SVN has the latest version compiled against this fix. Go ahead and test it out and let me know.

I loaded it today and it works great... only issue I'm having is my NAME color that I set to black was black this morning after loading...then later today it went to yellow then a few mins ago it went to orange/brownish color

the cfg isn't changed still says BLA for namecolor

what could be causing this? Conflicting from the 3rd person plugin I'm using?
