F2 Console / Replacement for the F2 Log Window

[Crow]

A console-like thingy instead of some crappy GUI controls for the F2 log, who wouldn't like that? I do, now that I'm done with this small project It pretty much renders the regular F2 log useless, but I can live with that; the question is, can you? I don't care. After all, it's up to you if you use this or not.

F2 to toggle, as usual. Hit C when the console has focus to clear its contents. Arrow keys to scroll. Enjoy!

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  // "hide" F2LogWindow_Window
  // don't destroy, because we'd get a crapload of errors
  F2LogWindow_Window.y = -512;
  
  sleep(0.1); // short delay; we seem need that
  
  this.on      = false;
  this.init    = true;
  this.sliding = false;
  
  CreateControls();
  AddOldMessages();
}

function CreateControls() {
  new GuiShowImgCtrl("F2Console") {
    x = 0; y = -256;
    width = GraalControl.width;
    height = 256;

    new GuiScrollCtrl("F2ConsoleScroll") {

I think you should put tabs for the file types, such as Files and Sounds, I often use F2 to steal some bodies when I'm on a new server :3 Other then that it's sexy Rep ASAP

Tabs? No way This is supposed to look like a classic console, known from games like Quake. Everything is in there, and all messages have a small tag in front of them, so it shouldn't take you too long to find what you're looking for.

Looks nice. I'd personally attach some code like this for the full console experience.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  // Console Input Control Flag
  this.allowconsoleinput = true;
}

// Console Input
function ChatBar.onAction() {
  if (this.on && this.allowconsoleinput) {
    handleInput(ChatBar.text);
    ChatBar.text = "";
  }
}

function handleInput(input) {
  // Console commands, functions, etc.
  // Example Commands
  temp.tokens = input.tokenize();
  switch (temp.tokens[0]) {
    case "echo":
      echo(input.substring(5));
      break;
    case "reconnect":
      serverwarp(getservername());
      break;
  }
}

Thought about doing that, and I already had a console-ish input field ready and working. But then I realized there's not exactly much to input anyway. Maybe I'll add that later though

Evaluate GS2 expressions.

Let's cut to the chase, will it open with "~"?

Good idea! I will probably use one of the two eval() functions available on the code gallery.

I actually thought about doing this. Problem is, I got a German keyboard, and we don't have the tilde as a key like this. For me, it's [Alt Gr] + [+] for a ~. It seems to share key codes with ^ though. At least that works in many other games. I'll give it a try.
