Basically what I'm asking is; how do you prefer a server to send a message as?

Such as:

Error: Some error message.
Some error message.
[!]: Error: Some Error Message

And so on etc etc, eh; yeah.


I'm trying to properly design my gamemode's client messages but I just can't get it to look nice.. Meh.

Leave some ideas for type of message and design of it pls and u'll get a big cookie






thx

[Kane]

Stick to a single color scheme for client messages.

Don't have a fuckton where half is green, half is red and the other half is blue and just disgusting as fuck.

A default format like "SERVER: You logged in as admin.", and et cetera is OK.

[Splodyf23]

Something like this :
[!]"Error Type Here/Notification": "Description Here"

[Kaperstone]

{C00C00}[!] {FFFFFF}Error: {EEEEEE}Some Error Message

[Astralis]

Preferably third way, also might be different colors.

[Paulice]

I find "Error:" and "[ERROR]:" pretty ugly. Third one doesn't look too bad; otherwise, plain messages with a certain color.

Better use " command not found " i think, error notice is tell to people there is something wrong with that command. But if you use " command not found ", not found notice is tell to people this server didn't use that command.

This made no sense

[Eoussama]

This is what I use:

Code:

* Put your message here

the asterisk is always white, the rest of the text is either gray or the same color as dialog text.

i vote for this design

[Vince]

What's the point of using the asterisk if it is front of EVERY message? I don't think it matters all that much what you choose as long as a) it is different enough from the chat to not be mistaken as such and b) it is consistent throughout the mode.

My example is

This for command that does not exist

Quote:

ERROR: Unknown command! Check: /cmds

This for command that has a usage

Quote:

USAGE: /ME<Text>

in Example

Код:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
       dcmd(me, 2, cmdtext);
       return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "ERROR: Unknown Command! Check: /cmds");
}

I personally liked bright yellow, if it's a warning for staff members I added red text to draw attention.

[WARNING] Some_Name (ID 4) is teleport hacking

[AzaMx]

I like this type "Error: Some error message."

Error: You are not allowed to use this command!

[Arbico]

I love it like this
* Error: Command you entered doesn't exist, use /help for the list of commands.

[Escobabe]

I like this:
Error: Thank you for using this command.

[Lucases]

With grey color:

Couldn't find that command.

[Twizted]

Anything serves: it just has to be consistent.
