one day some1 asked me if it was possible to change colors of your own text in chat inside the game...i made a little huber mega tiny search and i didn't like wth i found... it seems we have to change a little the script..(dunno wich parte and where) but i heard to... that exist a sort of "keygen" to change color but it seems a little odd that keygen........i'm mega noob on nwn code so i would luv to know if its possible or not to change color on a easy way... without change any code or something like that....
is not i want to use in the game is just a big curiosity

btw

Are you trying to change the colours so that other people see your messages in a different colour? Or just trying to make them appear in a different colour for you so that the channels are easier to distinguish?

If you only want to change the colours you see (so that you can actually see a difference between party and regular chat), open up nwnplayer.ini and put this in (or change it if it's already there)

[Chat Colors]
TalkColor=240,240,240
ShoutColor=255,239,80
WhisperColor=128,128,128
TellColor=32,255,32
ServerColor=176,176,176
PartyColor=255,102,1
DMColor=16,223,255

Change them to whatever you want, the numbers are just the RGB system for identifying a colour.

The alternate colours and some special characters (in character names) provided a means to hack the game. That's why they were removed, I believe. Forcing colours on other people is rude and annoying if you can do it.

I agree with DV on this one. I don't want to see some idiot log on to the server, and start typing with every letter a different color just to be annoying. I know you wouldn't do this Hex, but consider that some noobs, like to log-on and annoy folks, spam the shout, and other general rude behavior.

Sorry to sound so harsh, but after reading DV's post I had a sudden mental image of my message window filled with ridiculous spam, advertisements, and a yahoo image, and I became physically ill.

bleh!
