how to reduce chat font size?

[Pirat]

Woot! Can you describe what's the program for?? I always had an idea of parsing urt output for misceleanous reasons...

I don't know what exactly natirips' parser does, but in case
somebody just wants to add time stamps to their UrT log:

Code: Select all

sudo -H -u $USER_URT mumble-overlay $destdir/urt.sh $prog $parms \
|& while read line; do
  echo -E "$(date +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') $line" \
    | script-declutter >> "$LOGFILE"
done


script-declutter is a slightly modified version of a script I found
on the web and which filters ^H etc.

.

What my program does is color the terminal output.

I.e. if the program gets "^3yellow_guy: ^1red text" then it will color background red (to draw attention to chat and it will color his name yellow and the text red.)

Pictures will explain better:

This way I get:
- long history of messages
- messages do not clutter UrT window / my view (they are only shown for 1msec)
- unlike optimized exe I cat tell different types of messages apart by background color(hit messages are green (You hit...), light blue (You were hit...), blue (... had xx% Health.); chat is red; the rest it on black background.)
- colors (^1^2^3...) remain even though it's a linux terminal

Edit: Without this program all text would be the same color.

impressive.

Actually, linux uses a not-so-different way to set colors.

In q3 it's ^# where # is the color code.

In linux, it's \x1b[38;5;#m where # is the color code.
Also, for background color it's \x1b[48;5;#m .

It is a little longer and the color code is more complex (256 vs. 8 colors) but essentially they both have a sequence of bytes and a number in it.

I mean, the source code for the converter with all the comments and the license text it 5400bytes.
