Colored chat

by Sires » Wed Mar 01, 2017 21:48

We need colored chat and a way to put colors in the chat commands like using tags minetest.chat_send_all("%1A color%0 and other color")
That would be cool

No that would not be useful, but the normal chat is so boring :P

Is this what you're after? https://github.com/cheapie/chatcolors

It allows you to specify colors from the CGA color palette, using the same escape codes ("#" followed by a hex digit) as signs_lib:
Image

For example, if you say this:
the quick #6brown#f fox jumps over the lazy dog

The result will be:
<username> the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog


It also works for the /me command:
/me tests #asome #dcolors

Becomes:
* username tests some colors

Oh god, I foresee crappy servers where every 2nd chat line is unreadable because of color confusion. xD
I'm creating MineClone 2, a Minecraft clone for Minetest.
I made the Help modpack, adding in-game help to Minetest.

trepca uses sign libs and imho it's a good system.
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

I am against colored messages from users. Only warnings and errors (and other internal services' messages) must be typed with different color. But not users' ones.

I imagine like every kid will paint words and letters with rainbow colors.
