Colorized chatlog in console #44

Closed krangm closed 7 years ago

krangm commented 7 years ago

sometimes you are too late to read in-game chat ofc its logged in console but its rly hard readable among other data

would be good to have it colorized, for example green so it will be pretty easy to spot chat lines in console in a short period

YaLTeR commented 7 years ago

It's in the engine so unfortunately I can't do that without risking VAC.

As an alternative just use hud_saytext_time with a really high value, this way the messages will stay on screen for a longer period of time.

@execut4ble it will be a total mess when chat is going

@execut4ble unfortunately im not that smart to make PRs but you can look into code here https://github.com/LevShisterov/BugfixedHL it works as showed on screenshot for a pretty long time and nobody got VACed

Once again, it's in the engine so unfortunately I can't do that without risking VAC. I know that BugfixedHL does it and I know how they did it and how to do it. I'm saying that you cannot do it and guarantee VAC safety. "it works as showed on screenshot for a pretty long time and nobody got VACed" doesn't mean Valve won't update VAC tomorrow to trigger on that particular patch.
