Colored names in chat

Hi everyone, I'm trying to change the color of player names in chat. Unfortunately doing <color=#FFFF00>namehere</color> gets escaped and does not work. Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks!

 

You'll need to create or request/pay for a custom plugin to do this.

 

I'm trying to change their names when they chat. Here's how it's ending up:

I think that's highly unreasonable, I'm writing all of my own plugins, I'm simply reaching out to the community to see if anyone has accomplished this.

Mind you it's been done in the following manner:
name = "<color=#A347FF>" .. name .. "</color>"

 

Thanks Wulf for the reply. I don't think this is going to help me. I'm referring to when a player types normally in chat, I want to change their name color, the code provided will send it as if it's coming from the server:


I've been scouring all of the libraries and I'm not seeing a way.

The way I planned to do it was to change the base player display name, wrap it in HTML but as shown above it doesn't like this =(.

 

Good suggestion, I tried this as well. I'm failing to block the original message, I'll keep trying, thanks!

 

Ah it's OnRunCommand not OnPlayerChat. I lose the players steam icon doing this. A challenge .

Thanks for all of your help.

 

I used OnRunCommand() because OnPlayerChat() wasnt implemented back then, its essentialy the same.
To get the players steam icon you need to pass the players steamID within the chat broadcast.

 

Thanks Domestos!

For anyone else looking for this, here is what I came up with (with the help of Wulf and Domestos):

Code:

function PLUGIN:OnRunCommand(args)
  local player = args.connection.player
  if args.cmd.namefull == "chat.say" then
    local message = args:GetString(0, "text")
    if message ~= "" and message:sub(1, 1) ~= "/" then
      rust.BroadcastChat(self:GetNameWithColor(player.displayName, self:GetAuthLevel(player)), message, self:GetUserSteamID(player))
      return true
    end
  end
end

 

Thanks Incisus, been playing with making a plugin and that certainly explained a few questions I had about the chat system.

 

I'd be very interested in a plugin to change the white chat text. Nothing more annoying than having to look up to read stuff lol

or
http://oxidemod.org/plugins/chat-handler.707/

 

Thanks man, I didn't realise those had the option! Is there a way to make Oxide notifications also not white? Looking to make things like AutoBroadcast etc easier to read for players

 

I guess you are using notfier for that? In notifier you can go into the config where you can change nearly everything

 

No it's this auto announcer plugin:

http://oxidemod.org/plugins/auto-broadcast.684/

If notifier does the same job I could switch to that

 

Yeah it does that and even much more (Joining / leaving mesages, announces, /admins, /plugins, /player, /seed, /map and more)

 

do you have a namelist and a color list where i can see what color i can use?
