Hello, question about the chat colours in ET


(charleh) #1

Hi,

I’m trying to customise the chat output but can’t seem to get to it work. Is it even possible? I’ve tried a few variations including:

bind KP_END “vsay_team NeedAmmo ^7I NEED AMMO GODDAMIT”

bind KP_END “vsay_team NeedAmmo; say_team ^7I NEED AMMO GODDAMIT”

and

bind KP_END “vsay_team NeedAmmo; wait 100; say_team ^7I NEED AMMO GODDAMIT”

That one works but it prints both the green text after the vsay and the say_team after a 1 second pause. Which is rubbish.

No go. Any ideas?

Change the wait time to 20

This isn’t quite right for vanilla ET. In RTCW, I made it so that you could specify a custom message to be displayed with the voicechat, and it worked exactly like this, but in the vanilla game it doesn’t work. I’ll probably sneak that into BayonET or something some day.

This isn’t incorrect, but most servers have sv_floodprotect enabled. sv_floodprotect isn’t very bright at all, and it’s eating your say_team command because it’s happening immediately after the previous command.

Unfortunately, you can’t do any better if sv_floodprotect is enabled.

Hope that helps,
