I still haven't found if this is a 2k or XP install

Either way, you do change the colors like this:

\c[1]BlueCube\c[0]:
You should head west to the \c[2]Evil Mountains\c[0].

That'll return:



Doing a [0] color will return the color to default. All colors will remain until you change them, or the message box ends. (Also, from a style standpoint, don't color in end punctuation along with a single word/phrase, it just looks messy)

All colors are determined by the System graphic you have set up.



The numbering starts at 0 and ends at 19. So white is the default color, number 1 is dark blue, and number 2 is orange. If you wanted yellow, you'd see that it's number 4. Easy enough.

For hero names, you just use \n[0] for the first member in your party. (All other numbers will return the database numbers for that hero, not the party position.)


I'm splitting this thread off because it's a new question..
