 - \x08 followed by a hex code with alpha in RRGGBBAA format

Does this mean we can half alpha values? Will I have to worry about people
using colorful invisible language?
Is there a CVAR to disable colors? As nice as they are I can already see
the colored chat spam. ***SELLING**: STRANGE CRATES

Well we certainly do NOT want this for any client to use... I can foresee

Re: [hlds_linux] Reconnect to steam command?

2012-05-10 Thread bottige...@gmail.com
You hook the function in steamclient.so and store it in the proper
place until Steam_FreeLastCallback is called.

It doesn't really matter anyway since it doesn't work. I have tried it
numerous times and also tried other enums and status codes in a for
loop.

I could but it's not really game changing and so doing that would just 
reduce the number of servers where you might get a decent game from time 
to time.


A lot of plugins are already too noisy so current evidence suggests this 
doesn't discourage their use.


Coloured chat is like trade pop ups or mic spam or sprays - there are no 
good uses for them - the easiest thing is a client option that disables 
them.


Remembering the old adage programmers who can't program write plugins, 
the sap admin who wants an otherwise reasonable plugin to provide 
functionality has to put up with the plugin authors bad taste if he adds 
colours to the output it produces.
