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.
Awesome , thx
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.

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:
[linkimg]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1381/5169166943_1018042a69_b.jpg[/linkimg]
Before I try the colorizer I'll try
^[Let's say I want it in neon-green, it might be like this:
^[^@ÿ my_nameI'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
[Alt]+027
[Alt]+000
[Alt]+255
[Alt]+000
Because 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 [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.

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

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