Hi guys ! In this post , I'm going to show you how can type with all colors in your scripts/quests .

1. Paste this code in questlib.lua

function say_color(color, text)
    local rgb = rawget(colors_data, color)
    say(color256(rgb[1],rgb[2],rgb[3])..text..color256(colors_data.default[1], colors_data.default[2], colors_data.default[3]))
end

function set_text_color(color)
    local rgb = rawget(colors_data, color)
    raw_script(color256(rgb[1],rgb[2],rgb[3]))
end

colors_data =     {
                ['green'] = {0,190,0},
                ['light green'] = {0,255,0},
                ['dark green'] = {0,110,0},
                ['semi light green'] = {144,238,144},
                ['teal'] = {102,205,170},
                ['red'] = {240,0,0},
                ['semi light red'] = {255,69,51},
                ['rose'] = {255,64,160},
                ['dark rose'] = {255,0,128},
                ['light rose'] = {255,182,193},
                ['light orange'] = {255,127,80},
                ['orange'] = {255,130,0},    
                ['dark orange'] = {255,90,0},                
                ['semi dark violet'] = {255,0,255},    
                ['violet'] = {224,129,255},
                ['dark violet'] = {148,0,148},
                ['light violet'] = {200,162,200},
                ['brown'] = {161,63,0},
                ['dark brown'] = {120,66,0},
                ['light brown'] = {200,164,115},
                ['yellow'] = {255,255,53},
                ['light yellow'] = {255,255,128}, 
                ['gold'] = {255,191,24},
                ['blue'] = {0,0,250},
                ['dark blue'] = {0,0,150},
                ['cyan'] = {128,255,255},
                ['light cyan'] = {180,255,255},
                ['turquoise'] = {0,255,255},
                ['white'] = {255,255,225},
                ['gray'] = {128,128,128},
                ['black'] = {0,0,0},
                ['default'] = {196,196,196}
                }

2. Add these functions in file quest_functions :

say_color
set_text_color

These are the color that I put yet , naturally you can add more colors :





If you want to add more colors , add in the vector "colors_data" .

How to use it :

In whichever quest , when you type a colored string , use function "say_color" .

say_color("name_color" , "text")

Example :

say_color("yellow", "This string is yellow")
say_color("red", "This string is red")
say_color("blue", "This string is blue")
say_color("light yellow", "This string is light yellow")
say_color("light red", "This string is light red")
say_color("teal", "This string is teal")
say_color("default", "This string is normal")

Result :



Well , you can see that color "standard" of text is called "default"

Secondary function :

If I want type more strings with the same color without type in every string ? Simple , you can setup the color of text with the function "set_text_color" , and next all says will be the color selected .

Example :

set_text_color("red")
say("Now it will type ever red")
say("Now it will type ever red")
say("Now it will type ever red")
say("Now it will type ever red")
set_text_color("yellow")
say("Now it will type ever yellow")
say("Now it will type ever yellow")
say("Now it will type ever yellow")
say("Now it will type ever yellow")
set_text_color("cyan")
say("Now it will type ever cyan")
say("Now it will type ever cyan")
say("Now it will type ever cyan")
say("Now it will type ever cyan")   
set_text_color("default")
say("Now it will type again normal")

Result :

It's very helpful for warnings in some quests and it's useful for me. I think, i'll apply that.

I answer because it's always my stuff. These were two very small functions that I wrote for the italian community a couple of months ago. Crusa2 posted it here but he couldn't know that someone has already done something similar. So, never mind, there will be two similar functions for colored "say"

[Mijago]

Originally 3 ..
There is this function, then the say_red, say_blue etc and at last mine, with that you can combine colors.. and there are nearby 280 colors you can use with mine
