Chat Tag
v3.5.0


Description
Plugin adds a tag to donators an admins chat messages.
Root admins can disable tags until the mapchange.


Installation
Put the .smx file into the plugins folder and put the .inc files into the scripting/ include folder. (you will see how it is in the attached .zip)

How does it distinguish donators and admins?

• Admin tag - Generic flag (a), Kick flag (c)

Nice plugin and nice work, already done though

See simple-chatcolors plugin by Antithasys.

That's just color, this one replaces admin messages with this the tagged one.

Can you add the source file to the post?

[SilentLikeSilence]

Of course, but the zip includes it too.

Could you make this compatible with insurgency please? although insurgency doesnt support colors, if you could make it appear so that...

[ADMIN] NameHere: hello

that appears in chat like that. admin goes before name.

[SilentLikeSilence]

I can try that, but I never made plugins for insurgency and I never played with it. But I give it a try.

It doesn't support any colors? (I removed all colors)

[Antithasys]

Simple Chat Colors actually does tagging in the beta release that some people have been using for a week or so.

Looking at your plugin you will encounter a number of issues, including improper logging of chat, and chat triggers.

In it's current form it would be unapproved for those three reasons.

1. replicates existing plugin
2. incomplete code
3. improper logging and stop all chat triggers

You can make corrections, but still without adding additional features or something different from the other plugin it will be unapproved.

PHP Code:

Set the color of the players name
Set the color of the players chat message
Set the color for a specific player or group of players
Supports all colors in the colors.inc file by exvel
Uses loghelper.inc by psychonic for compability with HLstatsxCE 


Which means the tag from these for you? Cause there's nothing about tagging.

1.It's not a replicate!
2.There're no errors in log, so I don't know what are you talking about.

I think you are just trying to unapprove my plugins with no reason.

like my last plugin: "Reason for Unapproving: no idea what to say..."

[Antithasys]

The beta version. Not the released version. Look further in that thread.

I know this is not a direct replication. I have looked at the code and can see that it's not.

I will explain the issues better.

You intercept chat and reproduce it by printing it to clients... this is fine, but you don't log the original message. So no admin chat, or anyone who has the tag applied in your plugin will have their chat logged. This is bad.

You do not bug out on chat triggers. If the person has chat intercepted the will no longer be able to use chat triggers in your current code. Commands like !admin will not work. This is bad.

Edit:

That other plugin had so many issues... ya, I didn't know what to say. I tried to offer some help, but you missed the concept as a whole, and admittedly didn't even test it.
