A sourcepawn library for chat colors.
ColorLib is built as a replacement for Colors, it uses a a less naive approach to formatting messages to drastically improve the performance of C* functions.
This project is still under active development and has not yet reached a stable version until v1.0.0 So when using this code currently expect random error and dragons.

Simply include colorlib and you should be good to go.
If previously using another color library make sure to no longer include it,
and update the config and regenerate the colorlib_map.inc as show below with
your old colors.
#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required
#include <sourcemod>
#include <colorlib>
public void OnPluginStart()
{
RegConsoleCmd("sm_colorlib", Command_ColorLib);
}
public Action Command_ColorLib(int client, int args)
{
CPrintToChat(client, "CPrintToChat - {darkblue}%s - {darkred}%s", "Test", "Test");
}To change the output colors you first need to create a new or edit your config file.
There is an example config file provided that it is recommended you copy from it can be seen here.
Then you can rerun color_gen.py to generate a new colorlib_map.inc to
replace the default one provided.
