Chat Color Change

[Dastgir]

Can someone help me with changing character name color for gm level 0?

I want multi color, i am working on something which is like

SELECT color from Char

if color=0 Red Color,

if color=1 Blue Color

if color=2 Green Color

if color=3 Yellow Color

Only names should be displayed in that color, not chat.

Can someone help me to do that?

bump!

[Dastgir]

BUMP!

[Dastgir]

BUMP! no help yet?

[AnnieRuru]

because nobody know the answer except Brainstorm o.O

You can't do it without client reverse engineering. Brainstorm's assumption is totally false, ^COLOR is option for Ragnarok's dialog parser, and \033[1;37 is only for console.

Can someone help me with changing chat color for players?

I want multi color, i am working on something which is like

SELECT color from Char

if color=0 Red Color,

if color=1 Blue Color

if color=2 Green Color

if color=3 Yellow Color

Chat should be changed.

Can someone help me to do that?

You would have to wait that diff patch release and it affect ALL PLAYERS, not sure if source edit on clif.c can fake player's chat as Announce Color, GM Color, Dispbottom Color.

[Dastgir]

Just the main chat color change.

[nanakiwurtz]

Which one? The chat over head, or in the chat log?

[Dastgir]

Both. I guess its editable by clif.c

Use 0x2C1 packet instead of 0x8d in function 'clif_parse_GlobalMessage' (clif.c), then add

unsigned long color1 = strtoul("0xFF0000",NULL,0); // for red messages.
...
if(pc_get_group_level(sd) >= 99)// only Admin's messages have red color.
WFIFOL(fd,8) = (color1&0x0000FF)<<16|(color1&0x00FF00)|(color1&0xFF0000)>>16;

[nanakiwurtz]

Thanks for the code Lililth

But it seems the code is not completed yet, because it still has a bug.

For example:

I create a char named "One Two" on a GM(99) account, then create another char named "Char02" on a non-GM account.

1. When char One Two talk, it shows white on overhead chat, and green on chat log. In Char02 client window, it only shows "Two: aaaaaa" with red color both on overhead chat and chat log.

2. When Char02 talk, it shows white on overhead chat, and green on chat log. In One Two client window, the color turns black both on overhead chat and chat log.

In short, the GM name is cropped, and the non GM name doesn't show at all.

Anyway, how do you know which packet should be used? (In this case 0x2C1).

Maybe it shows black because currently the code doesn't have an 'else' for char below gmlevel(99).

I add some lines to compensate the color for char with gmlevel < 99 with:

unsigned long color2 = strtoul("0x00FF00",NULL,0);
//...
WFIFOL(fd,8) = (color1&0x0000FF)<<16|(color1&0x00FF00)|(color1&0xFF0000)>>16;
else WFIFOL(fd,8) = (color2&0x0000FF)<<16|(color2&0x00FF00)|(color2&0xFF0000)>>16;

Simple patch

clif.c.patch

[Dastgir]

What i told is:

SELECT color from Char

if color=0 Red Color,

if color=1 Blue Color

if color=2 Green Color

if color=3 Yellow Color

WHERE charname=blabla

Please be patient dastgirpojee

[Dastgir]

Solved, Close please.

Suggestion:

How bout adding it on DB folder name_color.txt and chat_color.txt to make it more user friendly.

Ex:

<group_id>,<color>

99,FF0000 //GM level 99 would have a red name.

<group_id>,<color>

99,FF0000 //GM level 99 would have a red chat .
