[Src]ShowClientMsg Addon

[Acidx]

Hey guys Just here to post a little addon to KLKS's ShowClientMsg Function its a really simple function he made here but he missed out on an addition that i have made.. he didnt make it so you can choose by command line wich ChatType you wanna use So its stuck on 1 chat type the green font at the bottem WELL i played around with it a bit and i was like well it would be cool to have a multi-chattype in this function so i made it...

Ok First off Lets get to Changing the code

find the function in game.cpp
void CGame::ShowClientMsg(

replace the full function with this or make a complete new one its up to you but if you do rename it if your not a copy+paster and know at least 1 step of C++...

Code: Select all

//Original Code by KLKS
//Updated by Acidx
void CGame::ShowClientMsg(int iClientH, char* pMsg, int iChatType)
{
	char * cp, cTemp[256];
	DWORD * dwp, dwMsgSize;
	WORD * wp;
	short * sp;

	ZeroMemory(cTemp, sizeof(cTemp));

	dwp = (DWORD *)cTemp;
	*dwp = MSGID_COMMAND_CHATMSG;

	wp  = (WORD *)(cTemp + DEF_INDEX2_MSGTYPE);
	*wp = NULL;

	cp  = (char *)(cTemp + DEF_INDEX2_MSGTYPE + 2);
	sp  = (short *)cp;
	*sp = NULL;
	cp += 2;

	sp  = (short *)cp;
	*sp = NULL;
	cp += 2;

	memcpy(cp, "Server", 6); // Player name :P
	cp += 10;

	*cp = iChatType; // chat type
	cp++;

	dwMsgSize = strlen(pMsg);
	if(dwMsgSize > 50) dwMsgSize = 50;
	memcpy(cp, pMsg, dwMsgSize);
	cp += dwMsgSize;

	m_pClientList[iClientH]->m_pXSock->iSendMsg(cTemp, dwMsgSize + 22);
}

Now in Game.H find the define
void ShowClientMsg(
replace with

Code: Select all

void ShowClientMsg(int iClientH, char* pMsg, int iChatType);

Now If you just replaced the command find everything calling the function ShowClientMsg(
and add your ChatType to the end such as
ShowClientMsg(iClientH,"Text", 1);
Now this saying Show the client the message Text with chat type 1
Now im sure alot of ppl dont know what Chat type is wich so i took the libraty of Listing them

Code: Select all

Full chat types
1  = @ Guild Chat - GREEN TOP
2  = ! Global Chat - RED TOP
3  = ~ Town Chat - Blue TOP
4  = $ Party Chat - Goldish TOP
10 = GM CHAT - GREEN Bottem

so if you want to use Global change
ShowClientMsg(iClientH,"Text",1);
to
ShowClientMsg(iClientH,"Text",2);
and so on

Hope this helps you guys out
Thanks to KLKS for the original code

Hmm.. Sounds good, Its possible to add another chatline right? Like use # for another form of chat. Or possibly to Store Character name's you've whispered..
