#detour MsgC?

_MsgC_old = _MsgC_old or MsgC
function MsgC(...)
local args, wincol = {...}
for i, arg in ipairs(args) do
if IsColor(arg) then
args[i] = WinColor(arg)
wincol = true
end
end
if wincol then
_MsgC_old(unpack(args))
else
_MsgC_old(...)
end
end
then you can just use MsgC as usual, it will also add compatibility with addons that use MsgC
MsgC(Color(255, 0, 0), "red text :)")
also afaik windows terminal supports colors by default, so you dont need to make changes to the registry - just use a good terminal

but if you still want to use the ugly cmd.exe, then the configuration can be done with single command
REG ADD HKCU\CONSOLE /f /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1

srcds.exe /B -maxplayers 8 -dev -console +gamemode sandbox +map gm_flatgrass -tickrate 66 +sv_lan 1 -allowlocalhttp +sv_cheats 0 +sv_allowcslua 0 +sv_password lantest +rcon_password lantest

Yeah, spent a couple of days attempting to do that, sadly CMD apps will open most likely in CMD, no idea what makes that decision more than legacy code, dunno have no idea what I'm even talking
