[sme4gle]

Hello, ive been searching AGES for a plugin or code to make something like this for the chat:

[Admin] sme4gle: Hello you!
[Trusted] Shadow: Hi there Sme4gle
But none of em seem to be working how i want ... ive tried like 4-5 different codes half of em doesnt work or is for evolvemod

Sme4gle, due to the current ways chat hooks can be so easily broken if not done right, Team Ulysses will never support it within ULX.
Megiddo says as much in this thread, which also has, aptly stated, unsupported, untested, code by another community (and silent partner) Team Ulysses member.
Searching from the forum front page found me this.

That's not to say Garry may not somehow change things in the future which make it not so easy to break, but, currently, no, not now.

ive tried that one before, but i cant get it working :/

Code: [Select]

local function lOnPlayerChat( ply, strText, bTeamOnly, bPlayerIsDead, bPlayerIsOwner, bPlayerIsCoowner, bPlayerIsSuperadmin, bPlayerIsAdmin, bPlayerIsOperator, bPlayerIsRespected, bPlayerIsGuest )
 
    local tab = {}

    local lTeam = 0
    if( IsValid( ply ) ) then
        lTeam = ply:Team()
    end

    table.insert( tab, Color( team.GetColor( lTeam ) ) )
    table.insert( tab, "[" .. team.GetName( lTeam ) .. "] " )
 
    if ( bPlayerIsOwner ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Owner] " )
    end

    if ( bPlayerIsCoowner ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Co-Owner] " )
    end

    if ( bPlayerIsSuperadmin ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Super-Admin] " )
    end
 
    if ( bPlayerIsAdmin ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Admin] " )
    end

    if ( bPlayerIsOperator ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Operator] " )
    end

    if ( bPlayerIsRespected ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Respected] " )
    end
   
    if (bPlayerIsGuest ) then
        table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
        table.insert( tab, "[Guest] " )


 
    if ( IsValid( ply ) ) then
        table.insert( tab, ply:GetName() )
    else
        table.insert( tab, "Console" )
    end
 
    table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
    table.insert( tab, ": "..strText )

    chat.AddText( unpack(tab) )
 
    return true
end

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "PlayerChatTeamPrefix", lOnPlayerChat )I'm not that good in lua but i thought this was kind of correct isnt it?

[Megiddo]

Elaborate on "can't get it working". No change in behavior whatsoever? Are you sure you installed it correctly?

[Dimstar]

I found one that works for my server... here:

Code: [Select]

CreateClientConVar("chat_tags_color_r", 255, true, false)
CreateClientConVar("chat_tags_color_g", 255, true, false)
CreateClientConVar("chat_tags_color_b", 255, true, false)
CreateClientConVar("chat_tags_color_a", 255, true, false)

local Tags =
{
--Group    --Tag     --Color
{"user", "[User] ", Color(212, 67, 255, 255) },
{"admin", "[ADMIN] ", Color(0, 0, 255, 255) },
{"superadmin", "[SUPERADMIN] ", Color(255, 0, 0, 255) },
{"owner", "[OWNER] ", Color(0, 255, 0, 255) }
}

hook.Add("OnPlayerChat", "Tags", function(ply, strText, bTeamOnly)
if IsValid(ply) and ply:IsPlayer() then
for k,v in pairs(Tags) do
if ply:IsUserGroup(v[1]) then
local R = GetConVarNumber("chat_tags_color_r")
local G = GetConVarNumber("chat_tags_color_g")
local B = GetConVarNumber("chat_tags_color_b")
local A = GetConVarNumber("chat_tags_color_a")
local nickteam = team.GetColor(ply:Team())
if !bTeamOnly then
chat.AddText(v[3], v[2], nickteam, ply:Nick(), color_white, ": ", Color(R, G, B, A), strText)
return true
else
chat.AddText(v[3], v[2], nickteam, "(TEAM) ", ply:Nick(), color_white, ": ", Color(R, G, B, A), strText)
return true
end
end
end
end
if !IsValid(ply) and !ply:IsPlayer() then
local ConsoleColor = Color(0, 255, 0) --Change this to change Console name color
chat.AddText(ConsoleColor, "Console", color_white, ": ", strText)
return true
end
end )

Psst. Megiddo. Stop waking up posts from 2012.

[MrPresident]

He didn't. As far as I can tell.

[JamminR]

Oops.
Psst. Hey, Dimstar, no need to wake up posts from 2012.
(Though, admittedly, your post does answer a question...even if it was over a year ago asked)

[MrPresident]

The only thing I can think of is people find these posts using the search feature (Either through the website or through a search engine). Ergo: You should be quite thrilled Jam!

I have this script on my server, no idea where I got it, but it seems to work fine except some of the colours of the ranks come out white. I haven't really tried investigating it because it hasn't bothered me before.
