Text Colors

[peterpiper99]

Alright i've been trying to do this for a little bit but am not doing very well, here is what I got.

public static void SendMSG(string Name, string Colors, string Message, ushort ChatType, uint Mesh)
        {
            try
            {
                foreach (DictionaryEntry DE in H_Chars)
                {
                    Character C = (Character)DE.Value;
                    C.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.ChatMessage(C.MyClient.MessageID, Name, "ALL", Message, ChatType, Mesh));
                }
            }
            catch { }
        }

 static class Colors
    {
        public const uint
            Black = 0x00000000,
            White = 0x00FFFFFF,
            Red = 0x00FF0000,
            Blue = 0x0000FF00,
            Green = 0x000000FF,
            Yellow = 0x00FFFF00,
            Pink = 0x00FF00FF,
            Teal = 0x0000FFFF;
    }

And here is a test command I made:

if (Cmd[0] == "/testmsg")
                    {
                        Game.World.SendMSG("GM", Colors.Red, "Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test", 2011, 0);
                    }

But the message still comes out normal. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

The hell?
uint Mesh is the color.

You are not even writing the chat color to the packet...

ChatMessage = your packet. There is no field for chat color input. You will have to add one to write the 4bytes that holds the RGB color info at the correct offset in the packet (if you don't know the offset I suggest in your command you actually ask for an offset.

Eg:

/testchat 16711935 offset

then change your packet so 16711935 is the uint32 representation of color (FF00FF) and offset is where in the packet it's being written to. Shouldn't take long at all to find the correct offset.


<edit>

or as arco apparently said. Write the color value to the mesh offset.

Game.World.SendMsgToAll("GM", "Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test", 2011, 0x00FF0000);

Didn't work, where can I get the colors?

Then you're doing it wrong.
Is that even the right hex for a color o.O

[peterpiper99]

I couldn't have did it wrong, that's what I did right there ^^, just that command. Is anything wrong with it?

Conquer doesnt take a few set values, it takes a full argb value, of which any should be valid i beleive.

Does anyone know how I can get the colors?

They are hexidecimal

0-255 for red green and blue (0-ff). Use a html color chart or a rgb converter to get the rgb values for diff colors

[teroareboss1]

its 4 bytes

        public static byte[] ChatMessage(uint MessageID, string From, string To, string Message, ushort Type, uint Mesh, [COLOR="Red"]System.Drawing.Color color[/COLOR])
        {
            byte[] Packet = new byte[8 + 34 + Message.Length + From.Length + To.Length];
            COPacket P = new COPacket(Packet);
            P.WriteUshortAddPos2((ushort)(Packet.Length - 8));
            P.WriteUshortAddPos2((ushort)0x3ec);
            [COLOR="Red"]P.WriteUintAddPos4((uint)color.ToArgb());[/COLOR]

        public void LocalMessage(ushort Type, System.Drawing.Color _color, string Message)
        {
            SendPacket(Packets.ChatMessage(MessageID, "SYSTEM", MyChar.Name, Message, Type, MyChar.Mesh, _color));
        }

GC.LocalMessage(2005, System.Drawing.Color.Red, "Test");

I used tera's. But now I'm trying to do the /c command.

if (Cmd[0] == "/c")
{
Game.World.SendMsgToAll(GC.MyChar.Name, ": " + Message.Remove(0, 3), 2011, 0);
}

But it uses the same packet.

public static void SendMsgToAll(string Name, string Message, ushort ChatType, uint Mesh)
{
try
{
foreach (DictionaryEntry DE in H_Chars)
{
Character C = (Character)DE.Value;
C.MyClient.AddSend(Packets.ChatMessage(C.MyClient. MessageID, Name, "ALL", Message, ChatType, Mesh));
}
}
catch { }
}

Does anyone know how I could do this?

By sending the correct mesh, as I see you are setting the mesh as 0.

I don't understand that. What's an example of numbers, how many numbers?
