Admin Chat

[Naku_vamp]

is it possible to get admin chat in a different font color on our servers? it is INSANELY hard to communicate with admins since i rarely ever see them saying anything because the admin chat is the exact same color as death chat...and in a full server theres a lot of pink....where as all of our other steam games admin chat is bright green very easy to spot and easy to notice ALSO i think half the time when people are warned in INS they don't even see it

Insurgency isnt capable of using any other colour. Trust me, we've been trying this for YEARS

I've seen Hl2M servers where a custom chat has been scripted, is it possible for ins?

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

Don't think so . trust me this topic has been brought up for as long as i can remember. If i recall correctly, we did get it to work but it caused issues with the server (crashing, etc)

The best resource we got to change anything in INS is Ventrilo guys... You have to utilize Ventrilo to communicate within INS. Thats our BEST answer for you if there is a problem and you need to communicate with the other admins.

I think their have been plugins that we have found but like stated before. Our servers kept crashing.

You guys are more than welcome to search the world of INS and try to find a plug in to recommend.

The problem is that this is INS, we are very limited in what we can use.

haha, you can say that again.

there have been plugins found, and even iamevilbear has tried making a plugin from scratch, but the engine just wont handle it

There is a way to make your chat yellow type "/me" before your message.

I just thought of something really cool someone please help me figure this out!

If you can bind "/me@" to A key like !guns you could have a key designated for admin chat which would always be yellow that's how we can have a different color for admin chat!!!

edit:ideas don't work yet.

It is very simple. Let's say you want to say: "Grunt, please stop nading the spawn." Normally a message like that would be pretty hard to notice. But if you want the message to be yellow and easier to notice, you type /me before your sentence so in this case you would type "/me Grunt, please stop nading the spawn." This is useful when you have an important message or you want to let someone unfamaliar to the server know the rules if there are no admins around. And if you haven't already known this, the "/me" thing works for steam IM too! Just wanted to let you guys know this simple tip. It helps keep at least some order when there are no admins around. And ofcourse type "status" into the console to get the ip of the offender if he doesn't stop and report him. And absolutely do not pretend to be and admin just because you can type yellow text And now one last thing, please tell this to eGO members only, i really do not want everyone on the server typing yellow text, you can't distinguish from an "e" trying to say something important or from some random person messing around. k thx

hmm, i wonder if we can get a plugin going that only admins would see /me...

 

[HyperSniper]

well the only thing i know of is using /me to make the text yellow
