Hi,
I wrote a script that generate chat menu. You may know that changing of chat menu of different HUD is painful. See example (http://github.com/osv/voltron/blob/master/volt.config.tcl.sample) of config file for voltron.
Download you can from github (http://github.com/osv/voltron) as zip (http://github.com/osv/voltron/zipball/master), tar (http://github.com/osv/voltron/tarball/master)
Voltron will split cfg files if their size are more 16k (important for original trem 1.1). Also it can create cyclic commands, for example bind key to command "say" to say pseudo random massage.
Voltron is tcl script, so u need tcl to use it, I believe those who can install some HUD can install tcl too.
Enjoy

Nice idea, but do you mean by "chat menu" ?
Screenshots ?

Common, you must know what is it if u use some hud:
Sub Menus:
1. Evolve
2. Responds

You just can create your own menu easy with this stuff

I'm interested in this program but am a little confused as to how it works. On the readme.html you say in section 2 creating chat menu "Configure file is tcl source file. But don't worry, you don't need to learn this language for creating your menus. Below is example of simple menu:" What is the configure file you refer to? I thought it was due to me not under standing how to operate voltron but the line after that confused me even more "You need run voltron to produce menu and install quake files:" so all voltron does is crate all the HUD files needed for a chat menu. Here is what I need to know, when I write my configure file (using your example), what is it? A .txt? And where do I put it? In the folder that hold the voltron folder I downloaded?

Sorry, I was forgot subscribe this thread.
But if you are interesting in voltron I was create shell script for auto downloading volt, voltron, and building chat menu from sample file (by default) and installing all this stuf.
http://github.com/osv/voltron/raw/master/init-trem-volt-def.sh
download it and run, but make sure no hud installed before and path ~/.tremulous/ is exist.
It is for linux's users, because I think windows's users don't know how to install tcl :)
I will update documentation later, yeah, here was mistakes (oh my poor English).

Does not matter how you set name of file and where it be located, but better if you called it .tcl, for better syntax highlight of your editor (notepad++, emacs etc)
UPD:
For windows's users volt hud 2.0 Final patched by voltron from sample config file (http://osprey.bplaced.net/download/voltron/test/volt.config.tcl.sample) can be downloaded here (http://osprey.bplaced.net/download/voltron/test/volt_hud_voltroned_2.0FINAL.zip)
Difference from original Volt HUD:
chat menu:
6.x - Base status
7.x - Tactic group
0.x - Join:
Key INSERT binded to spawn as builder.
Use menu "0" to join only!

Update some doc. Also add seta and unbind command. Also my, unofficial, configure file maybe found here (http://github.com/osv/config_files/tree/master/.tremulous/base/scr/)
with cool colorized menu ;) : (http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/800/shot0041rv.th.jpg) (http://img31.imageshack.us/i/shot0041rv.jpg/)

I got this working, but when i tried integrating volts latest 1.2 hud it failed. Could you please update to include volts 1.2 hud and new horizontal chatmenu plz and thanks :D
-
What you mean latest 1.2 hud? As I know latest volt hud is Volt_hud2.0_FINAL.zip, I can't checkout for new because I have problem with google code mirror of volt hud, and original http://networkofdoom.net/~bishop3space/Tremulous/Projects/Hud/Volt_hud/ not respond so I can't check how it looks like :(. Or you mean HUD of trem 1.2? In any case I was update voltron and now you can create horizontal menu (see volt.config.horizontal.tcl.sample and readme)
Related screenshot of default menu:

I think here need more colorize and reposition of menu rect, but I don't love horizontal looks.
