Blurb A Quickchat Gui for Sauerbraten to send important little messages during a game

Detailed description

Its a config that allows you to send some important text messages.
You can choose them in a gui menu while you walk, so you dont have to stop for typing something. You can switch between global and team messages. Add it to your autoexec.cfg file
Im ready to improve it if you find anything bad, so just type your comment ;)

- you should use it as a 2D user interface (esc>options>misc>2D user interface)
- omg sry uploaded a broken version first - fixed

it looks like good, but how to use? i have no idea, it must be integrated on menu, isnt it?

MeatROme | 2008-04-25 17:59

Well, yes. It seems to be (untested myself) ... just look at the demo screenshot;
the code looks okay at first glance too.
Maybe he should've been a bit more elaborate on the installation though - especially since a lot of people never ever look at the CubeScript (simply assuming they will never be able to understand it) ... but the 1st line should be obvious even to non-coders - so I guess he hoped you'd see that.

Step I: copy the contents of the script into a file called "autoexec.cfg" which should reside in the game-installation-folder "R:\my\gAmEs\go\hErE\Sauerbraten" (or something like that) ... if it doesn't exist, just create one (via Texteditor of your choice (Wordpad, Notepad, Notepad-Plus, gViM, emacs, ...)

Step II: run the game and press "Q" to get to the menu

Looks sexy and functional, downloading.

Calinou | 2008-06-04 15:44

Where place it ?

Redon | 2008-06-04 16:24

oops :D

@Hugo: as i wrote it in the description, put it into the autoexec.cfg file ;)

This reminds me of the Tribes style message setup (they had a load of pre-recorded voice messages). In their setup, they had a similar GUI, with a menu, submenues, etc. However, the way you used theirs was that all messages were three key combos long. For example, VAG (voice menu, announce submenu, "g"good game message). It was oddly easy to use, since you would just tap out quick three letter combos, all starting with V, and youd find you would rapidly learn the ones you use frequently, so it became second nature.

Perhaps here, something similar could be used (I dont know how the gui system in sauer works)? That is, each submenu has letters associated with it, leading to key combos?

MeatROme | 2008-06-05 22:38

I have a similar sentiment toward key-combos;
you could actually do something like this via some clever key-binding ... maybe look at QCSP (subtle hint).

hmm :D, I think its a good idea ;P nice work redon ^^. Excellent xD

Hey, i just registered and tried out the script! I managed to compress some mods in one autoexec, and they all work fine. I took my time and studies the script, and tested it ingame, which i found some flaws within.
first with the team enabled, it shouldn't write "say #teamsay bla" but "sayteam bla". it works just fine like that. I also categorized 2 options a bit better and fixed the team talking thingy all over the script. I also changed the writings in many places within it, so it either makes more sense, or sounds more human. If you are interested i might just work a bit more and enlarge it's menus and options, just gimme a call via a reply :)
the script it's self was great work Redon, if there were 20 stars it has them! :D

Hero | 2008-08-21 21:44

The script was made for the previous version of sauer, where the teamchat wasn't yet implemented. A command #teamchat was implemented on the tc servers for teamchat there, thats why it appears in this menu.

RaZgRiZ | 2008-08-22 12:53

aha, so everyone who get's it has to fix it :P
i guess it's not a big problem since it's easy to fix :)

Admin: Use the reply links, both of you.

SgtSmileyUK | 2011-12-30 14:44

Nice Script - will always use it thanks bud.
Ive edited a little bit of it to allow users to change the default messages to something else of their choice , for instance their own native languages

Why are you even working on a script made for a sauerbraten release 4 years old?

Make your own =P

SgtSmileyUK | 2011-12-30 16:19

1- Im new to sauerbraten only discovered it a few months ago
2- I do make my own scripts , check out my reddwarf mod - im not brilliant, im learning
3- I just thought it'd be nice to give positive feedback and credit to another where its due- you should try this.
4- keep up the good work whoever and wherever you are whatever youre doing or into -

Is sauerbraten outdated now? should I try other products and spread the word on them instead?

RaZgRiZ | 2011-12-30 21:11

1) .
2) Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
3) I give positive feedback to content that deserves it. First come the flaws, then the applause.
4) ^_^

No, it isn't outdated. A new release should be coming soon by next year, although nothing's certain. This node however is outdated, and it was made for a release of Sauer way older than Justice so.. not much point in posting on it. Redon has been long gone now too. I think he said this was also one of his first scripts before he gave up and went back to mapping, but i could be wrong. >_>

skiingpenguins | 2011-12-30 22:32

He isnt gone :) I still talk to him, he just doesn't play sauerbraten must anymore... So I guess maybe he is gone from sauerbraten.

RaZgRiZ | 2011-12-30 23:43

sherlock.

skiingpenguins | 2011-12-31 01:34

-.-

Redon | 2012-01-03 23:01

I can't believe you're arguing about this this is like the oldest script ever o_o

Suicizer | 2012-01-03 23:50

Untrue, this is the oldest script ever (on quadropolis)...

Redon | 2012-01-04 00:50

I revoke my earlier statement and say "this is like my oldest script ever o_o"

RaZgRiZ | 2012-01-04 08:38

Who called YOU into this? I haven't seen a logon of yours in forever!

Since this node isn't gonna get any more criticism, might as well ask. How have you been? :3
