Chat Customizer (Beta v5, nearly ready for the Add-Ons section)

[TheBlackParrot]

Beta v5 is out!
This should be the final beta before I say it's pretty much done. It'll be moved to the Add-Ons section once v6 comes.


NOTE: If you had Client_Extensions (Beta v1), remove it before downloading this version.

NOTE: v4 and older users, you may need to update a couple of settings if the new v5 features are not displaying right.

Added:

• Shadows can now be positioned; they're no longer forced at 2,2.
• Time display
• Maximum size increased from 32 to 48.

Fixed:

• "Typing box" now scales with the font size, it's no longer forced to the smallest setting.
• Shadows now display their correct color when using "\c" color tags.
• Previews now have an outline.
• Reset button now properly works.
• Previews now update when the window is first opened.
• If clan tags are blank even when enabled, they now have "pre" and "suf" in their place in the previews.
• Shadow opacity reduced to 4 ticks for clairty's sake.

This was something that I meant to implement into Blota, but Munk and I haven't really touched it since whenever we lost interest.

Known Issues:

• Some messages (notably involved with the SpeedKart gamemode) don't seem to show, or those aren't meant to be seen.

AND YES, THIS IS CLIENT-SIDED. NOT SERVER-SIDED.

I like the gui because it's organized, even though tabs could probably be better. Also I agree make fonts a drop down bar

The thing about that, is all fonts wouldn't be available to the user then. Surely you know how to open Notepad and look at your fonts?
On top of that, I don't have all Windows-default fonts like everyone else does. Mine defaults to Liberation Sans instead of Arial, for example.

Doesn't Blockland have a fonts folder or something?

[jes00]

There is already a way to change the font size.

Ooo, this is nice.

It only adds files to it when they're used at least once.

I think he added that slider for the sake of convenience.

[Greek2me]

The font size slider should snap to whole number values.

I can't figure out how to get that to work.

It has one for cached fonts. They're .gft if I remember right and are-

Check the snap box and change ticks to 23.

Currently getting the new GUI ready to release.

Can't figure out how to get a preview working, though. <color> and <font> have no effect on GuiTextCtrl or anything else I'm trying.

EDIT: Fixing some issues with the new Bold and Italic toggles... hold on
