Why even use hyper.txt

Spoiler: Usage

The command, colorblink, takes a variable amount of arguments.
Each argument is built in a specific way.

Colorblink expects that each argument has a color as an index, a minus sign (-), and a duration in tics, and lastly a space to separate each argument.

Let's analyze the example input:

$colorblink 4-10 1-8

If you were to use this command, you would become white for 10 tics, then black for 8 tics.
The first argument (4-10) has a color, a separator and a duration. This tells the script that the first color to change to is going to be white (4) for a duration of 10 tics.
The second argument (1-8) tells the script that the second color to change to must be black (1) for a duration of 8 tics.

That's it.

Spoiler: Commands and Cvars

colorblink <...>
Usage found above. Lets you start flashing colors.
It loops.
Use "clear" as the only argument to stop colorblink on you.

colorblinkvisual <0-3>
(Clientside)
0 - Show nothing.
1 - Shows a grid of colors you can use, each color shown as a colored sprite with an index number below it.
2 - Shows a scrolling list at the bottom left with the colors you chose for colorblink. It will show "empty" if you have no set colorblink.
3 - Show both of these.

Probably planned:

• Team color restrictions
• Maybe add a spoiler block here with good and cool color choices

Players joining your server will be presented with a tiny epilepsy warning. They just have to open the console and type "agree", nothing special.
If you are playing singleplayer/splitscreen or you are the host, you pretty much automatically agree to it, so the screen won't be shown to you.

That should cover everything.
Enjoy!

Huh, I saw this on a few servers, SOOOO happy it's released now!

A cool idea, good job. It will come in handy when you want super colors, as you can just do this instead of all that confusing lua.
