o LEDs in HALFLIFE are not new, but the old ones had a nasty bug.
  they screwed up the textline, wraped it or even killed some characters.
  the only way to handle this, was to place the LEDs into eg. [o].
  also you could not place more than one LED into one line.
  sometimes the lines wraped also, when you have used LEDs in more than one line in a row.
  not quite handy if you ask me..

o the idea behind my LEDs are to use standard characters wich are NOT often used, like
  $  # &

o so you have to make a compromise between using cool, colored LEDs or l33t player names like
  a$$kicker etc.. ;)

o players who are NOT using my GFX.WAD, will only see stuff like
  NEED HELP AT OUR FLAG
  i dont think its that disturbing.. 

o to use the LEDs replace the GFX.WAD in your HALFLIFE/VALVE/.. folder
  (this will affect ALL mods inc. singleplayer/deathmatch)

o do you want to use different LEDs in a special mod?
  do you want to use LEDs only in TFC?
  just go into your mods folder, eg. HALFLIFE/TFC/..
                                     HALFLIFE/CSTRIKE/..
                                     HALFLIFE/ICE/..
                                     ...

  and copy the GFX.WAD into that folder

o HOW TO USE THE LEDS
  -------------------

  all you have to do is to add following chars into your config file
  
  RED>    #   eg. say_team ###ALERT### 
  GREEN>  $   eg. say_team $$$CLEAR$$$
  BLUE>   &   eg. say_team &&&ATTACKING NOW&&&
  YELLOW> ~   eg. say_team ~~~NEED MORE DEFENCE~~~  

  thats it, you can even access the leds ingame with normal textinput
  you can use as much LEDs as you can use normal text, so no limitations..

o KNOWN "BUGS"
  ------------

  HALFLIFE uses   #   in the startup sequence:
  eg. server # 12

  so you will see a red LED instead of #

o it would be nice if you use the colors in that way i used them in the example.
  will say RED for critical situations, DANGER etc..
  GREEN for CLEAR and stuff
  
  i think you know what i mean, so it would look strange when somebody says
  RED affirmative! RED

o for ideas, complains, etc. write to
  tyan@phreaker.net
