Guest ExCUSES Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 hi is there a way to change the default colours in the chat window? because i am partly colour blind and its hard to see the difference between the team chat colouts and whipsers. heh if not maybe you should code it in so you can? Maybe alot of other people like me have the same problem.
Darkflare Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 you would have to change the graphic files for the fonts...im not sure the name of the file or the order of the colors and i cant check since i dont actually have cont on this comp
USS Delta Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 i'm pretty sure it's colours.bm2 but maybe someone could do a version of that file for colourblind people
»SOS Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 Chat window.Chat window.Chat window.Chat window.Chat window. Not game. In-game is very easy.
Mr Ekted Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 Chat window text is currently hard-coded.
Yupa Posted August 18, 2003 Report Posted August 18, 2003 you understand that he could mean chat window as in the game
»SOS Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 In-game is just a pic edit But what's so hardcoded about the chat window text? If you can do URL detection, you should be able to color it, no?
ExplodyThingy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 uh XP, dont make me hurt you. And what is this Edit->Selection color thing? Couldnt that work someway?
»SOS Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 It's the color of the selection. Does not affect font colors at all.
Mr Ekted Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Yes I *could* change it easily. But when you give newbies the ability to screw themselves they invariably do it... "Do you see the green text?""No just purple.""WTF purple?""Ya just purple and gray.""Sigh. Read each line off to me then and I'll try to help you..."
»nintendo64 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 Here's a solution Ekted, Put an Optional T:. P:, C:, F:, before a teammsg, privatemsg, chatmsg, FreqMsg, and none for public msg. Ex.T:User>Msg -nintendo64
ExplodyThingy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Posted August 19, 2003 just like in the logs I could go for that.
Yupa Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 you could just make the options window really obscure, Ekted most n00bs don't even know there ARE options with the client
»SOS Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Hmm, yea, maybe enter the color options by some secret hotkey that nobody knows
mister manners Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 i ve spent hours pressing every key in everything in ss, there isnt :eek:
madhaha Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 It'd be a good opportunity for Mr. Ekted to show he's more active than Priitk by making a patch mister manners: Press ESC. There is a menu. *despairs* Of course there are a few poorly do-*BAD WORD*-ented thing lying around you can play with in game...
Mr Ekted Posted August 29, 2003 Report Posted August 29, 2003 I can't modify menu without Priit making a new release. Cont checks it.
Yupa Posted August 30, 2003 Report Posted August 30, 2003 I can't modify menu without Priit making a new release. Cont checks it. but you can do your work and send it to Priit for .39, right?
