[B]Warning:[/B] Includes a module, but is almost foolproof implementation so no worries!

[B]Source[/B]
svn://svn.metastruct.net/gbins/xterm for binary module source.
Compiling requires [URL="https://github.com/twoerner/xterm-256colour/blob/master/rgb2xterm.c"]rgb2xterm[/URL] and Source SDK and Garry's Headers among other things.

[B]TODO[/B]
- Further improve coloring?

Woo, something that didn't break when I just tossed it there!

you can firebomb shit

how is it not fun

[Python1320]

Made this beta compatible as much as I could, still need this request filled or can't recolor errors:
[url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1206834[/url]
Rate that post [I]agree[/I], or make and print a poster and glue it next to Garry's office or whatever to get it fixed.

PS: The newline bug is fixed (should be) in beta only!

I'll build this into GMod13 if you want? This is what I have for it to work on the windows console:

[Python1320]

Guess integrating it wouldn't be too bad, but I still need the spew function for [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1145218"]EPOE[/URL]

you kinda rock garry

[Python1320]

Oh and also:

"[I]Note that not all terminals support this; if color sequences are not supported, garbage will show up.[/I]"

Disable by default if you embed it.
Alternatively check the TERM environment variable at least.

[godlike]

Does this work in windows?

[Python1320]

I thought garry added colors for windows.
If you want improvement to the terminal though use this: [url]http://didrole.com/SourceCurses/[/url]

Also, since Garry refuses to mark lua errors as SPEW_WARNING I have no way to make errors red, for now. I can always hook to lua_shared or do similar heuristic analysis I do in [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1145218"]EPOE[/URL], but I'll still try to get Garry give us SPEW_WARNING...

[Map in a box]

You fixed enginespew for beta?

[Python1320]

Yes, or rather pretty much recompiled with backwards_headers, look in [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1145218"]EPOE[/URL] to grab the bins or [URL="http://g.iriz.uk.to/~srcds/modules/gm13/bin/"]here[/URL].

[editline]31st October 2012[/editline]

I did change one thing to make the EngineSpew hook not cause epic fail in any case. While you are in the spew no print or error triggers another spew.

[Python1320]

[B]Some changes[/B]

Thanks to BlackAwps, MsgC is now finally supported (as well as it can be under ANSI colors).
[B]Note:[/B] Original MsgC is not called at all, but that shouldn't be a problem unless you override MsgC before this.

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1910689/gmod/msgc.png[/img]

Also "fixed" Garry's Mod 13 compatibility by providing autorun loader for the enum.

[Python1320]

[B]Updated original post![/B]
Due to [URL="https://github.com/garrynewman/gmod-module-base/issues/3"]this[/URL] bug I was forced to basically recode the thing. If you use coroutines on your server I suggest you update asap.
This module is safe once more, even more so than before and also more compatible (it only detours print in lua anymore and even that is not really required).
I also moved to xterm color codes so there's a whopping 256 colors to choose from when printing to console screen.
Additionally MsgC is now fully supported without any detours!

[editline]20th November 2013[/editline]

If someone has troubles including the module it might be that you're running a too old glibc, that's my fault for updating my compiling machine but downgrading is almost impossible, sorry, you'll have to compile it yourself. I can try to provide some help or the makefile.

[Python1320]

[B]Moved location of binary code: [/B]
svn://svn.metastruct.org/gbins/xterm is the new location.
svn://svn.metastruct.org/srvaddons/unixtermcol for the lua part for now.
Might be moving everything to gbins at some point.

New binary for latest GMod: [url]http://g1.metastruct.org:20080/gmsv_xterm_linux.dll[/url] (sorry for temporary link, no idea where to host all our dll files)

The new GMod has threaded output so my old approach no longer works, new approach is less clean, but should work for most of the cases.

[Python1320]

Should I spend time making a true color option? [url]https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728[/url]
(Anyone using a terminal that even supports true color and which terminal is that?)

[QUOTE=Python1320;34895506][B]Beautiful color codes for your terminal![/b][/QUOTE]
This thing spam my console.log with color codes. Is there any solution for this problem?

The link is broken. How to download the .dll ?

[QUOTE=_AMD_;50627688]The link is broken. How to download the .dll ?[/QUOTE]

metastruct.org went down, and metastruct.net took its place.
[url=svn://svn.metastruct.net/srvaddons/unixtermcol]here is the link to the lua download[/url]
[url=http://g1.metastruct.net:20080/gmsv_xterm_linux.dll]here is the link to the dll[/url]

[Python1320]

Updated OP links. Old binaries may or may not require updating to this one after the latest GMod update. Just a recompile with recent SDKs should suffice if you want to do it yourself.

Also of note should be that one may want to use [URL="https://github.com/Metastruct/enum_loader"]enum_loader[/URL] for loading this addon before all other lua addons for maximum coloration on server startup.
