Requesting Admin Chat Colour Changer

Belkashif · July 12, 2011

Hello,

Mostly when admins type to other players in admin chat it is usually in the same colour as the console messges.

For Example

It's really hard for other players to read All Admin chat. SO is it possible if we can have the color for All Admin Chat be red or blue or maybe black? It will be easier for other players to read it.

Here is the code that can change Admin Chat Colour.

If Staff would like more info about the code feel free to PM me since posting links are not allowed.

I think this is a good suggestion. With all the chat and server messages, it's really hard for an ALL chat to stand out.

l4d2bob · July 12, 2011

+1 for colored admin chat

DR.OBVIOUS · July 12, 2011

Great idea!

Plaayer · July 12, 2011

Just do hot pink, it's going to get everyone's attention.

blackberry4511 · July 12, 2011

+1, good idea

S.T.A.L.K.E.R · July 12, 2011

+1 great idea

JJK · July 12, 2011

AFAIK

css colors are limited to the following

Ill go ahead and use your code on the test server to see if its a legit plugin.

JJK · July 13, 2011

EDIT : not working so far give me the link

Edited July 13, 2011 by JJK

blackberry4511 · July 13, 2011

I think the light green would be the best, you don't really see anything that has light green text.

lolitsjack · July 13, 2011

+1, I vote for one of the green shades, blue and red could be confusing with the Ts and CTs

July 13, 2011

Yes this is a great idea, ive seen players miss admin warnings and this should help.

Scott · July 13, 2011

if it works this should help good idea

Belkashif · July 13, 2011

EDIT : not working so far give me the link

I have Pm'd you the link

Dullknife · July 17, 2011

+1 I like this idea Hope it works then I be like all *EPIC FACE* YEA!!!

Amokov · July 19, 2011

You can use the characters SM already uses to print colored text.
