Similar, but not the same. My color code works like this "&+g" does
green. Let's say the MSP code works like this, "&M(xxxxx)" is sent to
the parser (probably can even have a patch within the parse_color to
branch off if sees that the code is MSP) and then it sends !!MUSIC(xxxxx)
to the player, IF they have the appropriate flags. This may sound like a
lot of work, but it's a heck of a lot less work than the method of
extracting, and a lot less prone to crashing.
>1) use new sounds without first recompile the src
The above method solves that. It basically just copies what's between
the ()'s and sends that....all it does is decide whether to send it, and
prepends the proper command.

That version above will do that.

Actually, the method above will.

I cringe every time I think of doing something like this. I have a
'stripper' that will remove selected words from someone's tells (like
swears) but I don't like the idea. Personally, in that case, I would
rather just bleep it out...same length, just bleeped out. ;) If you
want, I can post that, and you can work from there.
