[goldsrc] garbage in terminal output #1079

Open johndrinkwater opened 11 years ago

Some commandline output from CS, CS:CZ contains the character U+000A (new line) which renders as garbage. It’s a minor problem for ocd users >:)

Those are the color code markers for the spew

What’s it trying to do, highlight the name? If I can help to make it native, if its worth the effort: Terminal uses ANSI escape codes, example echo -e "\x1b[37;1mtest\x1b[0m", Quake used the same numbering as, direct translation is 30+n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors

It is magic codes for the internal rendering logic, not something that terminal output was meant to interpret (and is a higher level contract, not something the lower level layers understand or could translate).
