Check out the function calls for string CCR(...) and
string TCR(...) to better understand how these codes work.
- Guidlines (please try and follow these):
+ Guidlines for notification declaration (please try and follow these):
-ALWAYS start the string with a color, preferably background.
-ALWAYS reset a color after a name (this way they don't set it for the whole string).
-NEVER re-declare an event twice.
- -NEVER add or remove fields from the format, it SHOULD already work.
+ -NEVER add or remove tokens from the format, it SHOULD already work.
-MSG_INFO messages must ALWAYS end with a new line: \n
+ -MSG_CENTER should NOT end with a new line
-Be clean and simple with your notification naming,
nothing too long for the name field... Abbreviations are your friend. :D
-Keep the spacing as clean as possible... if the arguments are abnormally long,
-Sort the notifications in the most appropriate order for their tasks.
TODO: ? centerprint IDs are given priority based on their order (first being highest priority going downwards)
-ARIRE unir frk jvgu lbhe bja zbgure. (gvc sbe zvxrrhfn) -- Don't pay attention to this ^_^
+
+ Final note: DO NOT PROVIDE MORE ARGUMENTS THAN NECESSARY FOR THE NOTIFICATION YOU'RE CALLING!
+ The system is designed to save as much networking bandwidth as possible,
+ so please dynamically control your argument sending to fit *exactly* what is required.
