Feature: Message Box Dialogs
« on: January 05, 2008, 10:38:38 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.

Oh this sounds nice, perhaps you could even have the option to use a built in command like MessageBox "Title" "Hello World" or making them with a script.

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.

With this, besides making some of the messages in dialogs, I think some of them need to be rewritten to be more informative.
