Title: Feature: Message Box Dialogs
Post by: jitspoe on January 05, 2008, 11:38:38 PM: Sometimes it's useful, when executing commands from a GUI, for example, to have the response come up in a dialog message box instead of being displayed at the console.

Things like the remote admin menu.

Some examples:

safe_cprintf(ent, PRINT_DIALOG, "You must be an OP to use this command.\n");
safe_cprintf(self, PRINT_DIALOG, "You are already on this team!\n");
safe_cprintf(self, PRINT_DIALOG, "Invalid team\n");
safe_cprintf(ent, PRINT_DIALOG, "Server does not have this map (%s).\n", mapname);

Hm, I thought you were going to add like a console command.
