  • Different Colours for Different Chats

    Hi,

    I know there is a file out there that makes all chats have different colours.
    Anyone of you has it?

    Thx!
    I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal...

    Just a quick and dirty paint job, but if you replace your tallfont.bm2 with the second attached image then your chat numbers will be different colors allowing you to quickly tell them appart. An example is the cropped screenshot preceding it.

    I'm sorry but I don't beleive there is a way to chat the color of the entire line for different chats as they all use the same fonts in the tallfont.bm2

    Edit: Sorry couldn't attach images, however here are the images I spoke of:

    People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else."

          The other colors are using in the help box, (F1) as it is a txt file which is formated using your chat font

            That was a good idea, but I find it works a lot better if you just put colors for your important chats only. It looks like a mess if you have 9 chats all going with different colored numbers.

              Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life;
              it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge,
              are all founded on lust.

                  Peace_Maker was just recently trying to do this as well and ran into a bit of a problem because he was using "small" fonts, an option that you can set under the chat tab of the options menu.

                  If you are using "small" font, then you want to edit: shrtfont.bm2

                  If you are using "medium" font, then you want to edit: tallfont.bm2

                  If you are using "large" font, then you want to edit: largefont.bm2

                  And if you are blind and using extra large, edit: hugefont.bm2

                        I am considering making each letter a different colour.

                          Let me know when you finished doing that
                          If anyone feels like making only 1 chat in a different color (first one), let me know

                            I used my own tweaked version of this that changes just chats 1/2, but I have to say that it's really annoying how it screws up all the number "1" and "2"s that appear in the chat. It was a good idea, but I'm going back to the plain font for now.

                              question:
                              when i opened up that tallfont.gif file in paint and saved it into bm2, it changed the whole thing into grey and orange only. wtf happened, and how to i make it bm2 without losing colors and stuff.


                              edit: i fixed it by copy/pasting from the gif to the original. it works now.
