Server_NewChat (restricted edition)

[Nexus]

This is my first addon, or at least what I'm allowed to post of it, and I call it
Server_NewChat

This is the description from the description.txt file:

Code: [Select]

This chatmod is a combination of all the different chat-based mods I have ever seen, along with a few of my own.
Features:
 - Standard Chat
 - Timestamps
 - Titles
 - User Defined Names
 - Local chat
 - Console access (removed)
- Private Messaging
 - Actions
 - Emoticons
 - See the full list in game by typing "/chatfunctions"

I would like to thank:
 - Bauklotz for saving me alot of work by letting me work with his chatmod
 - all the people that helped to test, and gave me ideas/advice*please realize that this is the limited version that does not contain illegal chat evaluating functions, and that this is a complete rewrite of the serverCmdmessagesent function


A screenshot of the chatmod in action:

Since I was unsure if granting the host remote access to the console was a problem, or if it was just allowing the Host to grant people access, I removed both features.

Ideas bin:
 - A command to change the color of names in the chat.
 - A command to disable all names being capitalized.
 - A command to change the font.
 - A toggle for BL_IDs in chat.
 - A toggle for a "chat sound".
 - A toggle for the entire chatmod
 - Better flood protection
 - A toggle for removing client defined bitmaps and text codes from chat.
 - More Icons!
 - Client defined font/color (big rewrite)
 - Ingoring
 - Google search
 - Show ping of other clients
 - RTB prefs for everything.
 - Chatmod for people who want a boring chat experience

Flood protection, ML tag clearing, etc? So you can't abuse this?

I made it so people can't use rgb and font codes in their name, and so people could not send the same message twice in a row, unless they are admin.  A time limit for chat could be in a new update.

Yes, you could say that. However, only 16 x 16 pixel bitmaps can be used in the chat, for some reason I have no clue about.

It's the max height. That bitmap is the image for getting run over, by the way.

Can the local chat be disabled?

neat. I had tried 15 px images, but they didnt work.

Yes. Everything is togglable, except the chatmod itself.

They have to be ratio'd images, I think. Can't you put a if($chatmod::on) check in there? and if not, it just does the parent?

[naturemon]

Last question, does this work with teams? As in do player name colors in chat change depending on team?

[Nexus]

I did nothing with minigames and team chat.  Although, I believe regular team chat already has this feature.

I thought about that, and if I get enough new ideas/suggestions, i will release a v2 soon.

When I play Blockland, I'd rather not have stuff covering half of my screen.
