etpub_printf.lua

The etpub and NoQuarter Enemy Territory mods have a shortcuts replacement feature. Some keys inside square brackets ([]) are replaced by values. This script does the same for etpro. Supported commands are say, say_team, say_buddy, say_teamnl, vsay and vsay_team. See below for some examples.

Known keys in etpub/nq are:

[a]

last player who gave you ammo currently not working, just returns *unknown*

[d]

last player who killed you

[h]

last player who gave you health currently not working, just returns *unknown*

[k]

last player you killed

[l]

your location (letter,number) - currently not really working, feature request for etpro filed :-) When it's done, it will give the location name from the server's maps/<mapname>_loc.dat if it exists, else the (letter, number) map coordinates from stock ET.

Currently it just returns the world coords in map units

[n]

your name

[r]

last player who revived you

[p]

last player you looked at not working, probably never will ...

[s]

health remaining

[w]

name of current weapon

[t]

ammo for current weapon

We ([!!!]Harlekin, bennz and /me) added the following keys:

[m]

name of the last player who was revived by you

[x]

health of last killer - don't ask me why x... I just took this from the first version of this script :-)

[c]

current player class

Both health replacements ([s] and [x]) will return 0 if the health value is below that, i.e. you will not know if a player is gibbed or just waiting for a revive.

Examples

To test this simply do a say on the server:

\say "I'm a [c] with [w] ([t] ammo), I have [s] health"

\vsay_team Medic "Need a medic, ^1[s]^5 health left!" result: Global voice sound: I need a medic and a custom text: Need a medic, 15 health left!

bind x "vsay negative Stop killing me, [d]" result: Global voice sound: Negative/No, and a custom text: Stop killing me, [!!!]Harlekin

bind x "vsay_team thanks Thanks for the Team-Kill, [d]!" result: Team voice sound: Thanks, and a custom text: Thanks for the Team-Kill, [!!!]Harlekin!

Thanks

Thanks to [!!!]Harlekin and bennz. Bennz did the first version of this script, which I rewrote completely ;-). He also helped debugging.
