Change the Admin writing to red.
« on: July 20, 2007, 04:59:40 AM »
Hi,
I have ULX "3.11" & ULIB "2.05".
I have been looking for ages to see where I can change the color of the Admin writing to Red when say:
@@ Message.

Can anyone help me?

UTeam allows a lot of customization as far as groups go. It's your best bet.

What the crap are you talking about spark?

Jethro, you can specify the color by passing extra parameters to ULib.csay from the ULX command callback.

@@ is tsay, in which case there is no way to change it. The color of these messages is defined in the game engine and can not be changed.

Interesting. Now I'm interested in this myself. Megiddo, give an example of how one would go about doing this.

Is it "ulx tsay 255 0 0 255" for red (red green blue alpha)?

Wrong Megiddo, we draw csay ourselves, but tsay just calls ply:ChatPrint().
@ = asay
@@ = tsay
@@@ = csay

Oops, dunno why I assumed csay. Spbogie is right then, it's done by the engine and we don't have any control over it.

Jethro,
 There is no current way in ULX to adjust the color of @@ (aka tsay) messages

Jethro,
 There is no way to change the text color. This is a limitation of Source, not gmod or ULX.

We could change the color but we'd have to do something like what Conna did with CEmote, completely override the entire chatbox. Not an elegant solution for this problem. :)

So, in short: We can't do this feature and we will never be able to unless garry changes it himself. (And no, we're not going to go with the CEmote idea)
