I have improved the font sizes a bit. Now you do:

font 1
font 2
font 3
font 4

It's a very small improvement on midget text and blasting your head off.

VERY SMALL improvement? LOL. Nice pun! Are you kidding.... you've obviously never tried to play on an 8 foot 3D projection system. Damn near impossible simply because I couldn't read the messages (Teamspeak helped but not much). Tanks, I'm gonna try this right out. Are you the author?

Yeah XConsole is mine.

I us it RELIGIOUSLY... I adore it's functionality and ease of use for moderating and administrating. I would like see a Siege tab, kind of like the custom tab or a second custom tab. Mine is FULL. And ... there is that ... other thing.

We should talk.

--- Updated ---

I see someone has already directed you my UT99 and Siege Ultimate Resource pages on my SkyDrive.

OMG So awesome! :)

I've been wondering what I could do to work around the server tab, because when I use it to change to something it will switch to a default kind of game (normal weapons, etc) which isn't my server set up for lol... perhap a few thing to change so certain mod/mutator to work? I mostly use the login/logout and slot set as well.

Also would there be an ACE tab for the anti-cheat?

~V~
11-09-2012, 07:23 PM
Yeah server tab is still a bit hackish. Did you look at the mutator options in XConsole.ini?

Also was thinking about ACE some time ago but haven't got around to it yet

Chamberly

I looked through it but I'll have to investigate finding the appropriate code and such whenever or how I could find them.

What server tab for what? Explain si vous plait
The Xconsole's server tab... and my favorite for Moderating the Right mouse click option on the list of names, with the built features to warn a player with a simple right mouse click over their name.

And the Custom tab... which I use to manipulate the server when testing and evaluating.

Not to mention the Admin features that you can totally customize on the right mouse click options. Uber useful and nice to have.

However, when I select font=4 I get this... NO text in the console log?

Kill messages can be turned on and off on the 'Show' tab

I've just uploaded 3.4.8

http://www.unrealize.co.uk/cgi-bin/downloader/dl.pl?id=xconsole.zip

Some bug fixes and other stuff. See XConsole-docs/changelog.txt

XConsole 2.5.0 rc1 is available for testing.

What is an 'rc'? It's short for release candidate, which means that it's a kind of testing version before the full 2.5.0 is released (think beta).
We'll see how we get on with bugs and then release an rc2 etc. until no more glaring errors are found (or people give up caring) and release the 2.5.0 final.

Please use this thread for reporting bugs etc.

=============================

Installation
------------

For new users who don't already have XConsole:

Information on XConsole and a few screenshots are here:
http://www.unrealize.co.uk/index.php?xconsole

Install:
1) Install version 3.4.8 from here: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/cgi-bin/downloader/dl.pl?id=xconsole.zip
2) Grab rc1 from: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/xconsole/xconsole3.5.0rc1.zip and replace XConsole.u with the one in this and put in place the other files, replacing where necesary.

-----------

For people that already have XConsole installed:
1) BACKUP your old files: XConsole.u, XConsole.ini, XMacros.ini, UnrealTournament.ini.
Do (2) above.

There are some extra files that come with XConsole now:

Textures\XFonts.utx - custom fixed width Deja Vu fonts. They make the console text much clearer and better aligned.
System\XConsoleHelp.ini - now help is stored in a separate text file.
System\Radiobox.u - Wormbo's radiobox class used in the config window.

XConsole.int has changed slightly and now the UT advanced options (type 'preferences') shows an XConsole section and some editable settings.

=============================

Changelog:

Alt-p opens up config window to change fonts, which pages are shown etc.
tc command which toggles between XConsole console text and normal console text.
Show/Hide page renamed to Console.
Macro page renamed to Keys.
Much better alias system, which allows unlimited, multiple commands aliases and menus.
Aliases are automatically included in the auto-complete system.
New spectating modes (see commands.txt): nukers, xspec.
IP address of server in status bar.
IRC commands for admins/moderators to use with IRC bots.
Dynamically coloured console text, switchable with colours/colors commands.
Console colours can be set in XConsole.ini [XConsole.XConsole_ConsoleTextArea] section.
Clickable links and IPs in console (can turn off with 'links' command).
Variables that are usable in a bind/alias.
Support for bExtra button binds to take UT or XConsole commands/aliases.
Extra HUD info about people removing buildings in Siege.
Console tabs can be traversed using alt+PageUp/PageDown keys.
Console scrolls 20 lines with PageUp/PageDown.
Font settings for scrollback, input box, IRC and player list.
MaxLines setting for console auto-adjusted depending on which logging mode is used.
Siege stats in HUD while spectating.
Added second custom buttons page.
Added a fixed width console/irc font in separate XFonts package.
Added TabComplete[] list to ini to add custom commands to.
Probably more stuff that I forgot.

See the Changelog.txt for more info.

What does "%Game%" mean ?
I mean is it for the gametype version ?
Like summon siegeultimate#.sgNukeLauncher?

~V~
08-28-2013, 06:12 PM
Yep. It will be swapped with whatever the gametype is, so yeah in Siege it'll be specific siege version.

Yep. It will be swapped with whatever the gametype is, so yeah in Siege it'll be specific siege version.

To elaborate on what he said, the %GAME% is a replacement variable for GameType class and will be "substituted" with whatever gametype is currently running on the server you are connected to.

So if your on Siege PUG Server and you want to summon the GrenadeLauncher for example

This console command: summonb %GAME%.sgGrenadeLauncher
is actually this command: summonb SiegeIV_007.sgGrenadeLauncher

Replacement Variables are variables that will be replaced by the system equivalent for that variable.

rc2 is available. Same installation method as rc1. If you are using rc1 now, then you can just copy the new XConsole.u over the old one.

rc29 is now up for testing and fixes a few things. Same link as above.

Fixed crash at mapchange when spectating using the xspec function, also when the player specced leaves the server.

Better console filtering.

Some things to note:

To see the default console type 'tc' which is short for 'toggle console'. Using it again switches back to XConsole text. This is on the off-chance that something isn't printed in XC that you need to read, or log/sshot etc.

XC text is now dynamic, which means that players colours change when they change team, or go to spec. This changes *all* of their names in the console in the past as well as the present.

Fixed URLs in the console, as there were some that weren't showing as links.

Key configs are now extended to 20.

Bugs I know of:

When someone logs in admin and then logs out, their name may disappear from the player list. You can use the 'plist' command at any time to get a full list of players though.

You can report any other bugs here, or find me in IRC @ #CodeReview or #uscript.

PS: my IRC nick is g0v.

I thought that bug is only on SiegeIV???

~V~
08-19-2014, 05:40 PM
If their name shows with the plist command then I'd think they should show in the player list too. I haven't had time to check it out yet.

Nice work. XConsole makes my life so much easier :-)

I've encountered a bug you might not be aware of. When font size if set to double, (preferences->video->font size), the text in the input box for the console is very small and most of it is cut off.
This is what it looks like:

This bug does not exist in the IRC tab btw, so maybe the solution can be found by looking at what is done different there.

Hi seabass

There are 4 font setting commands:

font
ircfont
listfont
inputfont

The one you are looking for is inputfont

Try setting it from 0-11 to see if it helps. EG

'inputfont 5'

inputfont 0 worked perfectly!

Thanks for a quick reply!

Actually there are better options in the options window:

Updated the download with the latest update.

~V~
08-17-2016, 12:40 PM
This is 3.5.0rc71

Fixes:
Fixed the follow function.
Added slightly larger IRC fonts. Now in IRC type /font 0,1,2,3 to choose one. It isn't huge but it's better than the default font, which is tiny. The edit box is also affected, but try as I might I cannot resize it to fit larger fonts.

New stuff:
A method of following flag carriers when speccing CTF games. The commands are redflag. blueflag and unflag.
Redflag will follow whoever has the red flag etc. Unflag turns off the function. You can bind these to keys to quickly switch between flags.

Link: http://www.unrealize.co.uk/testing/

To install:

BACKUP your old XConsole.u!

XFonts.utx goes in Textures/
All the other files go in System/

You don't need the font-source but I include it as it's open source
software.

Open your Unrealtournament/System folder and find in
Unrealtournament.ini:

Under Engine.Engine, change Console line to this:

;Console=UTMenu.UTConsole
Console=XConsole.XConsole

To reset just move the ;

If you are upgrading from a previous version from testing/ then you only need grab XConsole.u
