Title: Auto Chat text possible?
Post by: Led on February 16, 2012, 03:07:06 PM
Hi Modders


If you have played SWBF2 you may have been in servers that make announcements every few minutes:

"This server is hosted by the xxx Clan"
"Not cheating"
"Your ping is xxxx"


1) is it at all possible to have this feature for SWBF

2) if that doesn't work, can we edit the F-commands to use All Chat instead of team chat for a custom command?

Would be nice, I don't think we have the necessary source files available but I could be wrong.

A client on another machine, logged into the server, running a 3rd party auto chat macro?

Kinda like using a tree limb to pull an engine though...

Well, how about this then--instead of F11 and F12 being in green:

I Need Health!
I Need Ammo!

could we hex edit or recompile core.lvl (?) or common.lvl (?)

be be yellow text:

No Cursing on this Server!
No Wallhacking!

Yellow doesn't show up well here :)

Well, I don't know about that. But you probably could set-upan Auto-It application that would automaticly fire off chats every few minutes while you were playing.

At one time, I had a keyboard that could do macros.  I used it for unit movement.  left right left left shoot right left, etc, but it was kind of slow.  I suppose that would work too, like the auto-it idea.
