Replaceable Variables in Chat

Yes, I know, "DUDE YOU VANISHED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET ASSHOLE!!!"

Whatever. I thought of something good.

You know how sometimes, you want to type stuff that's really long, but you don't want to bind it, you want to be able to insert it into sentences?

For example, I like using:

^1r^2a^3i^4n^5b^6o^7w (rainbow)

once in a while. But just by itself in a bind, doesn't work so well. Works better in sentences.

So. Here's my proposal. Chat variables. At this point, you're like "wtf mate?" methinks. But here's the idea. If you type something like this in console:

Code: [Select]

/setchatvar whatever Something obnoxiously ^1long ^2and ^3tedious ^1 that ^2you don't wanna type
Then, typing "This is $whatever" in chat would give you

This is Something obnoxiously long and tedious that you don't wanna type

(started it with green to be more Tremlike)

You get what I'm drivin' at here? It'd have to be in a backport (based off MG client perhaps?)

In tremfusion, you can set a cvar to something, then insert the contents of that cvar by using \$cvarname\

[infestor1]

In tremfusion, you can set a cvar to something, then insert the contents of that cvar by using \$cvarname\

wait, how do you do that?
