Lol was right under my nose cause i did it wrong in the first place.
Ok so this is what my code has been placed as
In G_cmds.h i placed this in between the the setting of the commands and the code of the commands right at the bottom though*

ClientNumberFromNameMatch
This function does what the name says - it takes
a string representing a partial name, and returns the
client numbers of all the players whose names contain
that string. The client numbers are stored in 'matches'
and the number of matches is returned. This function does
all the string handling you should need, so it is safe to pass
unformatted names to it
*////////////////////////////////////////////////
int ClientNumberFromNameMatch(char *name, int *matches)
{
int i, textLen;
char nm[32];
char c;
int index = 0;
Q_strncpyz(nm, name, sizeof(nm)); //copy the name match
Q_CleanStr(nm); //get rid of any color codes etc
textLen = strlen(nm);
c = *nm; //the first letter of the name match
for (i = 0; i < level.maxclients; i++) //loop through all the possible clients
{
int j, len;
char playerName[32];
if ((!g_entities[i].client) || (g_entities[i].client->pers.connected != CON_CONNECTED)) //if this client isn't connected, skip them
continue;
Q_strncpyz(playerName, g_entities[i].client->pers.netname, sizeof(playerName)); //copy the player's name
Q_CleanStr(playerName); //remove any color codes etc
len = strlen(playerName);
for (j = 0; j < len; j++) //go through the player's name letter by letter
{
if (tolower© == tolower(playerName[j])) //compare the first letter of the name match to each letter in the player's name
{
//if they're the same, check to see if the whole name match can be found
if (!Q_stricmpn(nm, playerName+j, textLen))
{
matches[index] = i; //we have a match, so record the client number
index++; //increment the index counter
break; //break out of the 'j' FOR loop because we already matched this client
}
}
}
}
return index; //return the number of matched client names

Cmd_Pmsg_f
This command allows one player to send a 'private' message (text only)
to another player or players. The message is sent to all players whose
names contain the match string provided by the sender. This command is
not subject to spam rules governing text-only messages, but cannot be
used by people who are ignored.

Went to g_local.h and found this.
// if working on a post release patch, new variables should ONLY be inserted after this point
// DHM - Nerve :: the above warning does not really apply to MP, but I'll follow it for good measure
int voiceChatSquelch; // DHM - Nerve
int voiceChatPreviousTime; // DHM - Nerve
int lastBurnedFrameNumber; // JPW - Nerve : to fix FT instant-kill exploit
and below it added in
qboolean ignored; //whether or not a player has been ignored (by admin or by a vote)
this is for the ignored command that really isnt added in the script but it makes it happy.
Then Went to around Line 1089 and in the extern vmCvar_t i added
extern vmCvar_t g_minMsgChars;
Then went to g_main.h
and found the other vmCvar_t*s
and added the code for min char’s
extern vmCvar_t g_minMsgChars;
and then found the commented //JPW
and added in the default setting for the cvar. which was added in so.
{ &g_minMsgChars, "g_minMsgChars", "1", CVAR_SERVERINFO | CVAR_LATCH | CVAR_ARCHIVE, 0, qfalse },
And i dont know if it works as of yet but it compiles without errors ill let you guys know if it does
Hope this comes in handy.
Thanx Dutch for the resource.
most ppl know that
