Post subject: Plugin for a lvz banner?

Ok i got this cool idea for a plugin. Ok so the sysops or owner of the zone puts this plugin in merv and what it does is when you start this plugin it can send messages to the arena but in lvz form. So like near the top of your screen there would be this banner of what that persoon typed.

So say i wanted to send a message to everyone in the arena in lvz form. I would first type out what i wanted to say and then it would make the lvz of of what i types out, like it has the alphabet in lvz and what you type it makes. So then when you press enter it will send it out and would be at the top of the screen for a bit and you can set a time for how long you want it up there.

Or if that is not possible you could make a pre-set lvz and put it in your server.cfg. So then when you load that plugin that would send the lvz out all you have to do it like type what the lvz is and then it would announce it so everyone can see it.

So what do you guys think? I thought this would be a great way to send messages to say like this for example: Everyone press ?go duel for this weeks duel turney!
So then everyone would see that lvz. I think its better then make a arena message that is green and somtimes people wont see it. If you have any questions ask here and tell me what ya think.

I only globally read your post, so excuse me if I'm missing something, but I think there was something like that already, it just didn't pop up on the screen of a player, but in the arena.
I'm not sure who made it, I think it's on catid's website.

Purpose: This bot (while still in beta) allows you to create a text box on the arena map, where the bot can draw messages for people to see. This could be news, or game MVP. Use your imagination! Download is long: 2.55 MB

It's very hard to setup and you need to know what you are doing. (I needed to write a java program to change all of the lvz ids to get it to work)

I have got it work some time ago, but its hell to modify it. (lvz that is) I won't release it because its not in a seperate plugin.
Maybe I will release it in the future with a proper manual / program to modify the lvz.
