imessage random colors

[Archive-Poster]

This is a simple plugin mod to optionally change your imessages from the boring same old colors, to random colors each new map. Any one or all colors can be made to randomize. To accomplish this, edit the stock imessage.sma setMessage() routine as so:

Original:

Code: Select all

read_argv(2, mycol, 11) // RRRGGGBBB
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][2] = str_to_num(mycol[6])
  
mycol[6] = 0
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][1] = str_to_num(mycol[3])
  
mycol[3] = 0
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][0] = str_to_num(mycol[0])

Modified (added code):

Code: Select all

read_argv(2, mycol, 11) // RRRGGGBBB
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][2] = str_to_num(mycol[6])
if (g_Values[g_MessagesNum][2] == 256)
   g_Values[g_MessagesNum][2] = random(200) + 25
 
mycol[6] = 0
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][1] = str_to_num(mycol[3])
if (g_Values[g_MessagesNum][1] == 256)
   g_Values[g_MessagesNum][1] = random(200) + 25
 
mycol[3] = 0
g_Values[g_MessagesNum][0] = str_to_num(mycol[0])
if (g_Values[g_MessagesNum][0] == 256)
   g_Values[g_MessagesNum][0] = random(200) + 25
}

Then, for a random color(s) in your imessage(s), edit your amxx.cfg amx_imessage statements by replacing any RRR/GGG/BBB color with the value 256.

Example:

Code: Select all

amx_imessage "Welcome to %hostname%" "256256256"

Small differences in AMX MOD X v1.8.1

Original:

Code: Select all

read_argv(2, mycol, 11)        // RRRGGGBBB
    vals[2] = str_to_num(mycol[6])
    
    mycol[6] = 0
    vals[1] = str_to_num(mycol[3])
    
    mycol[3] = 0
    vals[0] = str_to_num(mycol[0])

Modified (added code):

Code: Select all

    read_argv(2, mycol, 11)        // RRRGGGBBB
    vals[2] = str_to_num(mycol[6])
    if (vals[2] == 256)
        vals[2] = random(200) + 25
    
    mycol[6] = 0
    vals[1] = str_to_num(mycol[3])
    if (vals[1] == 256)
        vals[1] = random(200) + 25
    
    mycol[3] = 0
    vals[0] = str_to_num(mycol[0])
    if (vals[0] == 256)
        vals[0] = random(200) + 25

this only works map by map?...

1) i change to de_dust2, random color
2) i change to de_inferno, another color

it's possible to change when the messages appears every time?

All the imessages (thus color values) are read at the map start via amxx.cfg. If you want random colors each time, you'd need a different plugin. I'd be suprised if one wasn't already been written to do that. This thread just demonstrates a simple modification to a stock plugin.
