Chat colors.

[Tinantiol]

I would like to know how change the color of a chat: example /broadcast = blue and i would have /pvp "(another color)". How can i do that?

I found http://www.dolserver.net/viewtopic.php? ... chat+color but it don't seems to help me..

It's all part of the client, all you can control is what channel the text is sent too. Look at the enum eChatType for all the supported channels.

mmm i found that into my broadcast.cs

Code: Select all

eChatType.CT_Staff, eChatLoc.CL_SystemWindow);

If what i think is correct this should be Yellow right?

[Tolakram]

It depends on how you have your client setup. You set the colors in the client, the server just adds a channel tag in front of the message so your client knows what channel to use. If you send a message to CT_Broadcast and in your client settings (In Game) you have broadcast set to yellow then the text will be yellow.

oohhh i got it. i can only set it before... then the client can change it in-game!

am i wrong?

Correct. The client has a list of message types, and they set how each type should look, color-wise. From the server, you can only tell the client what type of message it is.

You can't change the Staff chat color afaik, so that will always be yellow.

i would not change that -.- just would like to change a custom broadcast (only for region pvp for example) giving it another color different from /broadcast command.
