Player Chat Tags [2.58v]

[Decicus]

You don't unless you see something in he screenshot that I don't. I don't speak German though so I may be missing some part :p
Everything is coming as {, there is no ( at all

First *DEAD* message (user has no chat tags) has () and a darker green.
The three next ones (that also have chat tags) are lighter green with {}.

The first dead player, pls stop own me has (.

[Luk | twitch.tv/doctorluk]

Thinking about it... I think that is because that player (pls stop own me) is "user" and has no chat tag. I'd suggest to add consistency by changing { to ( for compliance between this addon and the default display.

[JamminR]

Default for what?
He can't account for what 20 other developers do in whatever gamemode or other chat addon that's made.

[Luk | twitch.tv/doctorluk]

That is true, sorry. Did not have in mind that the formatting is different in other modes inside GMod.
I'll make sure to add "user" to the chat tags for consistency. Thanks for the help!

Well, I suppose I could just change it for you. Here is a version of the addon that you want.

On another note to everyone else, I changed it for my main version and then closed notepad++, so because I'm really lazy, in future versions of this addon (if newer version are released -doubtful though), it will change from { to ( now.

where do i put the lua files?

[JamminR]

<gmod server root>/addons

[Bite That Apple]

Seeing as this addon, as well as my other addon, seem to get the most attention, this will most likely spread.

I HAVE JUST UPDATED ALL MY ADDONS, AS THERE WAS A MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE ON MY END, THAT I WILL BE KEEPING TO MYSELF.

So you're all going to be receiving errors/messages on your screen about this addon being outdated, and that you need to update it. So yeah.. I'd update to remove that.


Edit:
Looks like I was right:

[nex86]

We have Owner, Admin, Moderator and respected groups on our Sandbox server, what do I use for that?
The managed one?

no, do not use the manage one, use the normal one.

[Bite That Apple]

All my addons are updated due to an error that is occurring with code.google.com
Sorry for making you guys all download the new one...

I need help i have the chat download in C:\GMod\garrysmod\addons\lua\autorun and when i start the server the tags don't work please help, if you can that would be awesome!

[JamminR]

File path for the managed should look like c:\gmod\garrysmod\addons\apple_manage_chat_tags - and in that folder addon.txt and \lua\autorun\<file>.lua
If not working, likely not edited correctly or a conflicting chat addon.
Read/scan over previous pages for the gamemode you're using.
If can't find, provide lua error you're getting at server startup.

[seabeds]

So how would i make it like this?

[Owner] seabeds: hey

I'd like white brackets and a colored tag.
