I have a couple tips for you, if you are interested. First, line 303 will error in CS:GO since the variable naco is only defined in the else clause (variable is named team_color, which does seem more appropriate anyway, for CS:GO):
https://github.com/srpg/chat_tag/blob/m ... #L297-L303

I would definitely recommend using proper names for variables instead of naco/chco. As line 7 of the Zen of Python states: "Readability counts".

I also created a similar plugin a while back:
https://github.com/satoon101/ChatPrefix

My plugin doesn't allow tags to be changed on the fly, so there are obvious differences between the two plugins. It hooks the usermessage itself instead of using a SayFilter, which will catch all of the intended recipients and the specific message formatting with location (when applicable). Feel free to use it as a guide and ask any questions if you have any.

I would also highly recommend using SayCommand or TypedSayCommand instead of a SayFilter for tag/color. Here is a more detailed tutorial about TypedSayCommand:
http://wiki.sourcepython.com/developing ... mands.html

If you need any examples of SayCommand, just search the forums.

I would also recommend building your menu once instead of every single time someone uses the 'color' command. Also, definitely look into f-strings in Python, they're much cleaner than using %s everywhere.

You can't, i didn't make players name color changeable.
Only things can change is tag and tag color

OK, np, works good.

Does the database save correctly in hl2dm?
Since it only get saved when player disconnect and round end.
If doesn't save correctly then i can make update to ensure to save database.
