Hi,

As it is done with many chating tools, some strings are converted to something else when parsed.

The basic example is the smileys. When some1 type :) letters they are converted to image.

What I'm asking here is to add a file of shortcuts list on client side where ppl can type gg on their on chatbox/teamchat/console to be replaced by the client's settings.

Some aliases are made by default on e+ such as :
- haha which is replaced by haha text with sound
- yes which is replaced by yes text with sound
- ok which is replaced by ok text with sound
- ...

The main reason why to use aliases system instead of custom bind is that keyboard contains around 101 keys only. Many can't be used on quake3 or are reused for same thing, some are used for actions (move, fire switch weapons, join team...) and only few are left to put chatbinds.

This evolution should take care of an alias contained within a sentence.
but if 2 aliases are found on a sentence only first alias keeps it's related soundbind

so a structure like the following is necessary :

alias {
  Text : text here
  Sound : file here
}
 
examples:
 
hi {
  Text : "^1H^2e^3llo !"
  Sound : gen_hello1.wav
}
 
gn {
  Text : "^1Good night"
}
