I didn't think any one wanted it, but since Ltp0wer requested it, here it is.
---------------------------------------------
New Features
- Works with ULX v2
- No more cvars. (See below)
- Supports more than one text (Used to be overwritten if you used more than one at a time)
Limitations
- Running two texts on a player will make them overlap, you'll have to clear all other texts to start new ones, or if you can make it disappear in another manner
- Can only remove everyone's text. Not one at a time. Maybe some one can figure out a system, because don't have enough time sadly.
---------------------------------------------
Usage:
Say:
!text (player) (red) (green) (blue) (transparency) ("message")
Example:
!text gol 255 0 0 255 "I am an admin"
Remember, quotes are needed on the message part if it contains spaces.
Have fun!

Download links are overrated :P

Good job GD!

Haha, sweet.
Exactly what I wanted.
Thanks man, A+ job.

I have an idea. I'd like if I was able to float text on props aswell.
Like, what you are pointing at, you'd type "!proptext 255 255 255 255 MESSAGE"
Just a thought.

Well, I could just change a few lines of code, I don't know if it will work though.
use !textprop (player who is looking at prop) (red) (green) (blue) (alpha) (message) (z offset)
where the Z offset is how high above the prop it floats, since the prop size will vary. (Players head height is 35 or so)

But will that still allow me to do it on players?
