Custom PrintToPlayer/PrintToServer Stuff

[tagban]

Did you perform all of the specified changes in the various source files before doing that? I'd suggest double checking everything

[Avatarati]

Sure did. I have the text colors working fine, it's just not wanting to print anything when a user logs in. For testing purposes I used PrintToPlayer, which is standard in the header file to begin with.

I'll have to play with it some more tomorrow...

It's really not a big deal since I can just update the server_message config file for anything important. Honestly the only reason I wanted to implement this was to output string names for added personalization. It would have been a nice touch.

my entire player.lua should help.

Is it possible to specify the color of the text printed at all?

[tagban]

Is it possible to specify the color of the text printed at all?

That's what the 0x1C is at the end of the print to server line. I laid out the different codes in the first page of this.

[KOSMOS]

These is sweet thank you Tagban.

I have this working it is quite awesome, though I was wondering if anyone has used it for leaving the game?

I tried to add it to the leavegame.lua and it threw an error from luautils. Which makes since the effect lua seem to work a great deal different than the normal lua globals like player.lua.

Just figured it be a kool option. I know there was many times in retail people would be talking to someone and not noticed they got booted or crashed.

If not I will keep working at it and see if I can find a solution.

[tagban]

I was playing around with that to, but I think it would require modifying the code code further and I've been hesitant to do that for fear of breaking something that dsp changes later.
