MQ2CustomPopup

[Sym]

I made a plugin out of popup modifications pms originally posted on the mq2 forums

I shortened the commands to /pc and /pcecho, and included a color list in help syntax output. This allows you to do text overlay popups in various colors and durations.

// MQ2CustomPopup.cpp : Defines the entry point for the DLL application.

// Original code from pms
// Modified to standalone plugin form, shortened commands, and added color list - Sym 4/1/2012
// MQ2CustomPopup v1.0


#include "../MQ2Plugin.h"

void CustomPopup(char* szPopText, bool bPopOutput);
void PopupTextCustom(PSPAWNINFO pChar, char* szLine);
void PopupTextEcho(PSPAWNINFO pChar, char* szLine);

PreSetup("MQ2CustomPopup");

// Called once, when the plugin is to initialize
PLUGIN_API VOID InitializePlugin(VOID)
{
    DebugSpewAlways("Initializing MQ2CustomPopup");

    //Add commands, MQ2Data items, hooks, etc.
    AddCommand("/pc",PopupTextCustom);
    AddCommand("/pcecho",PopupTextEcho);
}

// Called once, when the plugin is to shutdown
PLUGIN_API VOID ShutdownPlugin(VOID)
{
    DebugSpewAlways("Shutting down MQ2CustomPopup");

    //Remove commands, MQ2Data items, hooks, etc.
    RemoveCommand("/pc");
    RemoveCommand("/pcecho");
}


// /pc
void PopupTextCustom(PSPAWNINFO pChar, char* szLine)
{
    CustomPopup(szLine, false);
}

// /pcecho
void PopupTextEcho(PSPAWNINFO pChar, char* szLine)
{
    CustomPopup(szLine, true);
}


void CustomDisplayOverlayText(PCHAR szText, DWORD dwColor, DWORD dwTransparency, DWORD msFadeIn, DWORD msFadeOut, DWORD msHold)
{
    if (!pTextOverlay) {
        WriteChatColor(szText,dwColor);
        return;
    }
    DWORD dwAlpha = (DWORD)(dwTransparency*255/100);
    if (dwAlpha>255) dwAlpha=255;

    pTextOverlay->DisplayText(
        szText,
        dwColor,
        10, // Always 10 in eqgame.exe,
        // Doesn't seem to affect anything
        // (tried 0,1,10,20,100,500)
        dwAlpha,
        msFadeIn,
        msFadeOut,
        msHold);
}

    GetArg(szCurArg, szPopText, iArgNum++);

Nice work Sym could you please include some examples for the actual macro commands so I can add this plugin to the compile and our commands/examples page.

Redcented

 

[Sym]

Sure. How's this.

MQ2CustomPopup - This plugin allows you to do popup text overlays in custom colors and display times

Syntax

/pc [color] [display time in seconds] Text to display
/pcecho [color] [display time in seconds] Text to display


color and display time are optional, if ommitted normal /popup values are used
If you want a custom display time you must specify color. Color values are listed in the help syntax in game and below.

/pcecho works exactly the same as /pc and will /echo the text to the chat window in addition to doing the popup


Examples:

/pc
This will list help syntax and available colors. Available colors are:

1: Dark Gray
2: Light Green
4: Dark Blue
5: Purple
6: Light Gray
10: White
13: Red
14: Bright Green
15: Yellow
18: Cyan
20: Black



/pc Click your mask
This will do the standard popup color and duration with the text Click your mask



/pc 5 Click your mask
This will do the popup in the color purple for the standard duration with the text Click your mask



/pc 13 15 Click your mask
This will do the popup in the color red for 15 seconds with the text Click your mask

Did a patch kill this plugin? I don't see it in the base compile.

 

[Maskoi]

No it did not. I just never included it. I will add it in the next few days.

 

[nostress]

Awesome. I've started including popups in my macros, and different colors would be amazing. Thanks a bunch Maskoi for including it, and Sym for making it.

 

[Maskoi]

Here try this one. Just pop it into your mq2 folder then /plugin mq2custompopup

 

[nostress]

Worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Such a better tool for getting information across then /echo
