Change text colour
#1
Just wondering, is there any way I can change the text colour in-game to another? Example, I'd like to have 'You fragged ______' come up in red instead of the yellow we have now.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. :)

yes you can.

while ingame do

/changethetextcolor red

then after you do that, you have to jump 5 times, and shoot twice with the sniper rifle and it will be red ;D

your welcome

Yes, this could be changed very easily... in the source code.
Go grab the source, open clientgame.cpp and find these lines:
if(pl==player1) outf("\f2you were %s by teammate %s", death, aname);
if(pl==player1) outf("\f2you were %s by %s", death, aname);

... then change the number of the "\f" part to the appropriate colour you desire (see http://assault.cubers.net/docs/colouredtext.txt for numbers), compile, and viola.

I sincerely hope that your post will not be used as an excuse for using a modified client :)

I like violas.
Perhaps way too much.
Anyways, this is another thing I would like localized.

So I'm not allowed to do it...? It looks a little too difficult anyway. I thought considering it was only cosmetic it would be a little simpler. Oh well. :)

Your allowed to do it. It doesn't give you an unfair advantage. Though I think it would be too much work.

How can you tell when a violist is playing out of tune?

And for the blue i suggest that you have to crouch 5 times , knife 15 mates and headshot 2 RVSF blue bots? mmh :P

now seriously i don't remember exactly but by press left ctrl + L + number you changed color of text in command line but i cannot see it console and with names it doesn't work too, i think it worked a bit but i don't remember exactly if really

Yes that would allow you to change the color of various text in-game, but color is not sent to the server via the say, or me commands AFAIK, and I think he means he wants to be able to change the color of the messages that "pop-up" on the HUD (you fragged X), not the console.

EDIT:

NINJA'D you V-Mang ♥♥♥

in-game changing of console text can only be done to "echo" and "say" commands, as well as menu items; not default console messages.
