Color changing / Hero name within a message box

[Noob101]

Actually, another question, how do I make it happen so when I have a message, the person in front says his name at the top?......and how do you color the name? (Gah, I'm such a n00b it's not even funny)

I still haven't found if this is a 2k or XP install

Either way, you do change the colors like this:

\c[1]BlueCube\c[0]:
You should head west to the \c[2]Evil Mountains\c[0].

That'll return:

Doing a [0] color will return the color to default. All colors will remain until you change them, or the message box ends. (Also, from a style standpoint, don't color in end punctuation along with a single word/phrase, it just looks messy)

All colors are determined by the System graphic you have set up.

The numbering starts at 0 and ends at 19. So white is the default color, number 1 is dark blue, and number 2 is orange. If you wanted yellow, you'd see that it's number 4. Easy enough.

For hero names, you just use \n[0] for the first member in your party. (All other numbers will return the database numbers for that hero, not the party position.)


I'm splitting this thread off because it's a new question..

Hey you could always go into the help and read. but some poeple dont have that option, or you could just want to get online and talk to people. Either way, is cool with me.
