[Feature Request] Add notifications about some events to the chat

2010kohtep commented 5 years ago

The SV_BroadcastPrintf function is used to notify players on the server about some events:

When console variable with the FCVAR_SERVER flag changed
When pause is toggled
When player disconnects from the server due to timeout
When player disconnects from the server due to a 'reliable channel overflowed'
When player disconnects from the server using the 'dropclient' command (standard disconnect)

I find these notifications extremely useful, however, they are not displayed in the general chat, but are simply displayed in the client’s console. Perhaps, in addition to displaying the message in the console, we also need to display the message in the game chat using the SayText message?

There are several ways through Third Party Plugins to display specific events using SayText (client_print*) probably your request would be a good addition to start displaying more specific ones that requires more attention other than using console to check them.

Don't set by default.

Creating a new client command for this will be nice.

Nice, kid's again writing about 3rd side plugins, we don't use this shit on pure server's. :/

It would be very nice addition.

Take care, having this configurable could be welcomed/useful, but fill the chat field a little more also decrease FPS, so this is discutable. Even if people likes chat messages especially in colors, or if some new players do not (or barely) know the console... (yes! it's true)
