Coloured names

[[MiA]Raj]

Now you can use a coloured name on our ONS server.



To make your nickname coloured, you need to use a color code in your name. You can either google those codes, or download this utility: http://americasarmy.filefront.com/file/Hyrulians_UT2k4_Message_Colorizer;53593

The maximum length of player name is 20 characters. The lenght of color code is 4 chars, which means that if you use 1 color code in your name, you have 16 more letters left to use for your name letters.

Don't exceed the lenght or your name will be bugged.

When i start it its saying " Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid "

Huh

Is there a way to enter these color codes manually?
Almost all websites link me to a program which changes the color. Then I found a tutorial which doesn't work for me:
I've read I have to enter it with 4 ASCII codes as prefix: (27)(red)(green)(blue). So I've tried holding [Alt] and entered some codes - I tried decimal and hexadecimal convertions on Windows and Linux (Windows uses the decimal format, Linux the hex format).
Nothing works

I guess you gotta use some program. Or you could pick up some colours from server names (add a coloured server in your favourites, check user.ini file).

The colour codes alwas start with the Escape char - Chr(27). Rest of the 3 chars represent RGB values, but I have no idea how does that work.

When i start it its saying " Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid "

Huh

Thanks a lot. I didn't notice the recent servers are stored in the user.ini.
Since I have a good template I'll find a way to manage it

"you need to use a color code in your name." Couldn't you be more specific?
No example?
Is "Vanico#7FE817" right?

All I know yet is the code must be in decimal format, not hexadecimal.
I will try the colorizer later.

EDIT:
Just found one of my former works:



Before I try the colorizer I'll try

Code: [Select]

^[
Let's say I want it in neon-green, it might be like this:

Code: [Select]

^[^@ÿ my_name
I'll see if that will work

Finally found out how it's working:
Well, my very first tries were almost right (holding [Alt]+entering a number between 000 and 255), but you cannot enter the lower values (I think between 000 and 099) - I don't know why.
Normally the code for light-green should be

Code: [Select]

[Alt]+027
[Alt]+000
[Alt]+255
[Alt]+000Because of this Issue I think it's impossible to enter the color codes under Windows manually, but I hat a small success under Linux:
First of all the Linux Version of the game doesn't support the clipboard (copy&paste) function and this kind of entering chars -.- so I had to write it the kfmoduser.ini.
2nd fact to think about is to convert the code to hex format (  027 = 1B ; 000 = 00 ; 255 = FF ).
... and there's the issue with too low chars again >_<   => solution: replacing the 00 with 11 (this is still low enough)

And if someone wants to know what I did exactly under linux (I bet nobody wants to know that xD ):
I hold

Code: [Select]

[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt] u1b
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt] u11
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt] uff
[Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Alt] u11 

Yay, It works!

One more...
Just tried the colorizer on my main computer - I got the same error like Zaid^.
On my Laptop it's running fine - WinXp on both PCs

Anyway, he asked me for the code for this color.
Feel free to copy and paste:

Code: [Select]

Name=

If the "Colorizer" app does not work, you can try this: http://www.tcpclan.net/dlmod/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=220

- edit -

Okay, those of you who don't/can't mess with those apps, can find some color codes here:
