Advanced Chat Effects

3 KB, 13 years ago, submitted by DrenDran

This chat mod can do a variety of things.
It allows people to use color codes and personal reference codes in certain chat.
For example, typing:
"?\c1I like \c0%1\c1."
Would send out the chat message where it would say in blue "I like", and the persons name in red, the %1 is replaced by whoever is getting the chat message, it let's you personally address everyone. To use color codes or personal address, you need to prefix the statement with a question mark.
It also allows for rainbow chat, by prefixing your statment with an exclamation point, like this:
"!rainbow chat here"
It also allows the host to change the default chat colors in three parts, clan tag color, name color, and message color. All in all with a default color set up (8 color choices), that's 512 possible combination.
It also has word filtering capabilities. Unlike the standard filter which can just block words, this one can let you choose a new word to replace it with, typing:
/newwordfilter no yes
would make every time "no" is said change into "yes".
Word filters can be removed with "/removewordfilter <word>" where the argument is the before change word that the filter searches for.
Anyone in the server can type "/listwordfilters" to get a list of word filters in use.

Also, to use other mods which may package chat, or to just get around the filters, you can prefix your statements with a "@" or a "$", the "@" bypass leaves the symbol while the "$" bypass does not.

Also, everything here comes with settings on who is allowed to use them, rainbow chat, personal address, color code usage, filter bypassing, and more all have prefs on who is allowed to use them, the four choices being:
-anyone
-admins
-super admins
-host only

Tested to work with every client sided mod in RTB that can be found by searching "chat", also can work with many other mods witch use chat, by using the filter bypass ( e.g. disguise mod uses chat to have you pick a team, and to do so you have to type "$1" instead of just "1", but it still works)

Altho good and functional, if something like this is not default, memorizing the commands doesn't seem worth it.

Seeing as i garuntee you not every server will have this (actually under 50% probably will just because noobs dont have RTB) but anyways... yea... just too much to remember for lazy people... (Like me) and alot of other players who already have ALOT of commands to remember...

4/5
DrenDran
Do realize the ability to change the default chat colors doesn't require any commands to remember, you just change a number in a text box.
Good job on this. I think the most useful feature is the %1, so you can address each player specifically using normal chat. Good job. 5/5 DLing

aww crap, my server preferences broke so i cant edit most of the addons i have with them... is there anyway to fix it?

i have the same problem only just with this
Kenkoman
This brakes my chat. when you say something it says
Please do not repeat yourself.
i was not repeating myself, and now my whole chat is broken.
DrenDran
Kenkoman, I'm going to need a console log or at least more details in order to prove my mod actually did something bad.
SuperGamer69
Your script is conflicting with another script...
edit: I find that it was an event...
edit: Your Script does not agree with event VCE of all the things! I don't know why but when I had only yours and this running and tried talking it said:
"Don't Repeat Yourself"
When I wasn't.....
Tyson
Cool
DrenDran
Supergamer, I don't know that this would conflict with VCE or any events seeing how this solely packages the function that is activated only when a chat message is sent from a client.
No output functions are packaged.
It must be another mod, or you're not using this one correctly.
Kenkoman
How do i even get my console.log on Mod Manager?
I cant on RTB Fourms because i lost the password for it
Kenkoman
i mean i cant go on RTB Fourms
Kenkoman
I found out that a add - on is blocking it from working.
But what add - on?
SuperGamer69
DrenDren, I don't know why it would be effecting that ethier but when I ran my server through a bunch of tests I tried it will all my other scripts on, and it worked, all events on and it didn't. So I narrowed it and got it down to just yours and VCE and it didn't work. I was wondering about that too... But nothing else seems to effect it...

edit: I think it may be best if you add something that allows you to turn off the repeat feature...
DrenDran
SuperGamer, are you trying to suggest that EVERYTHING VCE can possibly do was broken?
SuperGamer69
No, it is not VCE, I would just like if you could allow peple to turn off the repeat because I was playing a game today without VCE on, and your script was conflicting with something else...
Dillpickle
Im at my server now, and its not allowing me, or anyone to talk. Its saying 'Please do not repeat yourself.' Although I haven't said anything I repeated. Im guessing its the update, if so, Fix it.
DrenDran
I will update it immediately with a pref to turn off repeat prevention.
SuperGamer69
It works, but the strange thing is, is that when I changed it it said I changed something to do with the Creeper mod... But that doesn't matter, since it worked and didn't affect Creeper Mod at all so I can live with it.

This is a bad-on. When I was hostin' my server, some people started taking it's advantage by making syntax errors, then their chat showed up blank.
DrenDran
@paper mario
DrenDran: Oh no! God forbid there's a blank line of chat! That could destroy all of blockland as we know it!
