I have made a module
which allows anyone to send an arena message or zone message
in any color capable by continuum,
both can be either signed or anonymous.
Powers are limited by groupdef.
Source attached.

***NEW***
You can now create modules which can send colored player or arena messages!
Simply use the interface and insert color->Pink(p,"bleh") into your code!

***NEWER***
The colors module has now become 3 modules in 1!
The core of the module has changed, using less memory and all that junk n stuff.
Also, the interface has been greatly extended, allowing you to send any color to the zone, an arena, or a player.
Additionally, you can now use the ?say command, just like the old *say in subgame, and !say in mervbot (kind of), to make any player, real or fake, say whatever you want them to! (I would suggest limiting these powers by groupdef to only those who you can -truly- trust)
Also, a ?voice command has been added to change your boring old blue pub chats into a more fun color, like pink or gray!
(Disclaimer: currently an echo due to technical limitations)

***NEWEST***
The core of the module and ?say has been streamlined.
Additionally, the interface has gained freq color functionality!

***FINAL***
The core of the module has undergone a final redesign, achieving perfection.
This includes code optimization, in which the number of lines was literally cut in half.
Also, an unloading bug has been fixed.
Additionally, the interface has been changed, and is now easier to use.

***Update***
Have gone through code and cleaned a lot of things up, and updated everything to be compatible with ASSS 1.6.0
Also removed voice and xchat modules, since they are cruft and require the not yet existing chat advisor.
Seperated the modules into different files for those that only want certain parts.

lines for modules.conf:

Code: Show/Hide

colors:colors
colors:say

commands for groupdef:

Code: Show/Hide

cmd_bluea
cmd_blueaa
cmd_bluez
cmd_blueaz
cmd_yellowa
cmd_yellowaa
cmd_yellowz
cmd_yellowaz
cmd_greena
cmd_greenaa
cmd_greenz
cmd_greenaz
cmd_reda
cmd_redaa
cmd_redz
cmd_redaz
cmd_orangea

cmd_orangeaz
cmd_graya
cmd_grayaa
cmd_grayz
cmd_grayaz
cmd_pinka
cmd_pinkaa
cmd_pinkz
cmd_pinkaz

privcmd_say

Any comments/suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.

maybe more dynamic commands such as ?colora pink hello how are you, or ?colorzz blue this is the message. other than that nice work.

Suggestion: don't call it as3.

Question: I noticed both you and Brain didn't release the playerdata interface in MM_UNLOAD. Is this intentional? Also, why are the commands being removed after the cmdman interface is released?

it has now been fixed.

if AS3 is 25% of ASSS then what is A?

also, try to see if you can cut all code that is duplicated by using arrays

although AS3 is less words, it's harder to type because you have to type 3 unique characters, where as ASSS is only 2 different letters. even further, AS3 has a number in it, while ASSS has no numbers, and the different characters (a and s) are right next to eachother.

They mean the same, but they're different words.

More importantly than commands for colors, I'd like to have the chat interface expanded to take a color enum easily.

Cheese · Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 1:36 am Post subject:

what, like ?color YELLOW mehmehmeh..?

and i suppose i could add a target for v2, that way you could literally fake someone saying something...
it would be pretty cool, but i can only see it getting misused >_>

Initrd.gz · Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 8:19 pm Post subject:

Well I thought that most zones would restrict colors to mods... If it becomes a problem then mods can just disable the command.

And goldeye, just look at the source code. Its not really hard to implement in other projects.

Cheese · Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 12:43 am Post subject:

the commands can currently be used by whatever group you give capabilities to...
no need to disable anything...

updated files, added load/unload log messages

also, i think im going to make an interface soon, so other mods can use fun spiffy colors >:3

Cheese · Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:26 pm Post subject:

huge update, added that interface, you can send arena messages in any color, or to a specific player.

i also completely redesigned how the module works.

files updated

Cheese · Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:08 pm Post subject:

yet another huge redesign of how the module works, cut the number of lines of code roughly in half, as well as added new functionality!

Cheese · Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 12:11 am Post subject:

did another big redesign.
fixed this
added freq functionality.

should be 100% stable now...

big update

recompiled for asss v1.5

new color features

all references to 'gray' have been changed to 'grey' for international compliance
module will work as before. however: voice module will be reliant on my xchat module until changes are made to the existing chat module

new xchat (eXtended Chat) features

xchat module will be packaged with color module
ABILITY TO REWRITE OR EVEN REMOVE CHAT MESSAGES (before they happen)
constants added/renamed for GREY/PINK
addition of high staff chat (in pink), simply uses \\, modchat (still in red) still uses \ (many zones have a seperate upper staff chat)
clarification added to capman constants (ex: modchat --> seemodchat)
subtle rewording of error/log messages (ex: shut up --> silenced)
fixed bug with sending nmepriv to same freq

since i suck at this, please look over the code and see where i screwed up, especially in regards to the chatnet parts...
fuschia was renamed to pink because #1: even its creator can not spell it correctly, and #2: color is a subjective term, meaning 'pink', 'fusha', and 'purple' are all equally acceptable.
i would like all if not most of these improvements made standard.
the bonus is that the code is already written (even if its made with duct tape and on fire)
:D

idea checklist for xchat:

fix bug sending silence message to ppl with unlimitedchat cap
inform modchat of silence
add seperate limit for cmd spam, cmd=text if !defined

fixed:
rewritten chats are no longer counted for spam limits
