Proposed Message Standardisation

[xoft]

I have a proposal, too

Let's make a bunch of functions in the Core that take care of sending those messages. For example:

function SendMessageFatal(a_Player, a_Message)
  if (g_UsePrefixes) then
    a_Player:SendMessage(cChatColor.Red .. "[FATAL]" .. cChatColor.White .. a_Message);
  else
    a_Player:SendMessage(cChatColor.Red .. a_Message);
  end
end

-- global var at the top of the file, for Admin\'s configuration
-- If set to true, messages are prefixed, e. g. "[FATAL]". If false, messages are colored.
g_UsePrefixes = true;

Then other plugins can call these functions, too:

-- In the initialization:
function Initialize(a_Plugin)
  g_Core = PluginManager:GetPlugin("Core");
end

-- Send message:
g_Core:Call("SendMessageFatal", Player, "message text");
