Author Topic: Why does < color everything after it red in chat?  (Read 2366 times)


How..?
for RP chat
this isn't JUST for family rps, it can be used for any rp

EXAMPLE: <goes to store to buy stuff

As opposed to: I'm going to the store. (the white text could blend in with text from other people)

EXAMPLE: HI IM NEW TO BL
                 HOST PLEASE BAN THIS GUY
                 Im going to the store to buy stuff
                SERVER SHUTDOWN IN 20 MINS

 As opposed to: HI IM NEW TO BL
                 HOST PLEASE BAN THIS GUY
                 < Im going to the store to buy stuff
                SERVER SHUTDOWN IN 20 MINS

Ah. If this is a coded thing, I would maybe like to see a preference on the Start Menu to edit the hex for it:

i.e.
Action Hex: 1C247A
<goes to the milk to buy some store

Action Hex: 1AFF00
<goes to the milk to buy some store

How do you buy store?
I would like some please.

I assume its because every code in centerprint, chatmessage, etc. begins with a <, and if you error it everything after the < turns red to tell you its wrong. For example, just try doing <color:abcdefg> in chat.

Its a bit hard to understand.

Sorry for bumping this!

Anyways, the default blockland chat system isn't compatible for hex coloring the words. Some add-ons will allow this, such as add-ons that chang the color of the outcoming chat (I don't know any examples right now) and why would you tell someone to do something that doesn't work? Hhere try <color:abcdefg> Isn't even valid hex, so of course the message would come out red since < makes everything after it red!

not quite


as said on the first page, you're breaking TML.

because <color:> makes things red by default, or at least it does when i'm using the event system.
