Custom PrintToPlayer/PrintToServer Stuff

[Joe]

I really like this.

Thanks Joe! I have a lot of fun with it, and use it to announce new users logging into our small server.

Has anyone submitted this to the repository? I think this would be a great addition to the game server.

I was told that it doesn't follow retail and would be rejected for that reason.

Hey guys, is this script still working?

[tagban]

Yeppers works great

I've noticed that if you are trying to create custom dialogs, it will only allow you to use one specific color per line. If you use a color more than once on a multi-line message it crashes the client.

[tagban]

Correct.

Reviving this old topic...

I cannot get this to work for some reason:

Code: Select all

player:PrintToServer(string.format("The character %s has logged in...", player:getName()), 0x1C);

Tried simplifying the message to just get something to pop up when a user logs in. This is how I have it inserted into the onGameIn function from the player.lua file:

Code: Select all

function onGameIn(player, firstlogin, zoning)


    if (not zoning) then -- Things checked ONLY during logon go here.

		player:PrintToPlayer("Test");
		
        if (firstlogin) then
            CharCreate(player);
        end
				
    end

Tried inserting it into other functions as well...can never get the message to display upon a login. What am I doing wrong?

did you make the lua_baseentity changes and recompile?
