RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - xoft - 02-08-2014
The prefixes WILL be configurably optional. And updating will be needed from time to time anyway.
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - NiLSPACE - 02-08-2014
They will be configureably in the function or in a config file?
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - tigerw - 02-08-2014
In a configuration file, of course.
For the plugin side of things, I'll just add extra SendMessage/BroadcastChat functions, not going to change the existing ones. Then, I'll submit PRs to WorldEdit to change everything to use appropriate functions.
I think it would be the easiest without exploding all plugins to bits or doing manual bindings.
Exploding all plugins to bits. heh
heh
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - NiLSPACE - 02-08-2014
But is there a way to send a message to a player without any prefixes even if it is set in the config? Because as an example if you would use /help you would get a screen like:
[INFO] Page 1 out of 15.
[INFO] '-' means no prefix, '~' means a value is required.
[INFO] //copy - Stuff here
[INFO] //cut - Other stuff here
[INFO] //drain - Some more stuff
[INFO] //ex - Guess what comes here.
[INFO] //ext - Even more stuff.
I mean, say for yourself. That looks horrible.

Looks fine to me. Anyway, Player:SendMessage would still work, right?
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - NiLSPACE - 02-08-2014
Why not like this:
void SendMessage(const AString & a_Message, int a_PrefixType = ptNone);
So for default it wouldn't have any prefix at all.
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - tonibm19 - 02-08-2014
That wouldn't break plugins, right?
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - tigerw - 02-08-2014
Mah gawsh peeps.
SendMessage sends a raw message to players, and server does not format it. Nothing is changed for this.
For SendMessageXXX, server performs formatting. These are the new functions.
That shouldn't break anything
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - NiLSPACE - 02-08-2014
Thanks
I was getting worried because xoft said "SendMessage() might be marked as obsolete and might be removed later on."
RE: Proposed Message Standardisation - tigerw - 02-08-2014
Oh. Xoft, is what I said what you intended to do? It seems to make our plugin writers happy?
