Patch for chat window, also new function
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 3:57 pm
EQLib_Utilities.cpp
NEW addition to EQLib_UI.cpp
(note: red line setting first color variable is added since first post)
MQ.h
Note: keep both function prototypes, as shown.
The new, single parameter Chat function uses special characters to make it easier to use colors in MQ displays. The special character is \a which can't be typed within EQ. There are predefined colors:
m - magenta
p - purple
o - orange
u - blue
r - red
g - green
b - black
w - white
t - teal (blue-green)
y - yellow
They are used like so: \ay for yellow, \au for blue. Additionally, you can put a "-" in front of the color char to use a darker version of the same color.
Demonstration
You can also specify custom colors in the same way: \a#ffffff would be white, use the hex value for the color in #RRGGBB form.
To return to the previous color, use \ax. Example: This is white \ayyellow \axwhite.
The default color is white.

To return to the previous color, use \ax. Example: This is white \ayyellow \axwhite.
The default color is white.
