So what if...

[taco343]

So what if I have a few color codes for my cycle that I like, and it gets tiresome to switch them. Is there anyway to have the game switch between two color codes ever round or so? I turned PLAYER_RANDOM_COLOR 1 on, but that is not quite what I was looking for. Thanks

Why should there be a way for something as silly as that?

The closes you can get to automating it is putting your color settings in different config files and to enter the appropriate INCLUDE command at the console when you want to switch. The console has a history, so you'd just have to hit CONSOLE_KEY CURSOR_UP CURSOR_UP RETURN every round if you're alternating between two colors.

Couldn't you just but them into instant chants. I mean no one uses all 25 of them

Yes indeed, Joe. That's that most players do. I think they do at least. Would be a pain to type out all that stuff every single time.

no you can't.

I don't think 1.cfg and 2.cfg is that hard.

[Misery]

You can't??!? I thought you had to type out some color code or something before your text. I could have swore you could use instant chats for them, but I never bothered to use it anyways. Sorry about that, Joe.

when is someone going to make a client modification that will allow you to do that?
it wouldnt be too hard: if a chat string starts with /con, dont submit it to the server, use the text after /con as a command.

That would be so awesome. There are a few things I toggle on and off frequently (depending on the server I join), like alpha blending stuff.

Don't we already have that, too?

[ivantis]

its in the help menu of servers 0.2.8 or higher, but i dont have a client that does that.

trunk/0.3 does it
