Color Codes

Color codes will help you change the Color of your message or macro.

Chat pane

When using the in-game chat (for instance, the output of a Macro) you use a single character code to denote which color to use. (1-F, i.e., a single Hexadecimal digit).

The Command for this is:

  • \#
  • - The Channel you want your message to go to, this can be /o (Outfit), /s (Squad), /p (Platoon), /b (Broadcast), /l (Local) or /c (Command).
  • - The number or letter of the color that you want your message to be.
  • - The message that you want colorized.

For example:

If you want to make an Outfit message in Yellow saying 'Incoming Troops!', you would have to type this:

  • /o \#3 Incoming Troops!

And it will appear like this:

  • [Outfit] Name: Incoming Troops!

Here is a list of which number generates which color:

  • 0 - White (Default Local Chat Color)
  • 1 - Black
  • 2 - Light blue
  • 3 - Yellow (Default Squad Chat Color)
  • 4 - Green (Default Outfit Chat Color)
  • 5 - Light green (Default Command Chat and Global Chat Color)
  • 6 - Brown (Default Platoon Chat Color)
  • 7 - Light purple (Default Broadcast Chat Color)
  • 8 - Pink
  • 9 - Purple
  • a - Turquoise
  • b - Light yellow
  • c - Blue
  • d - Light pink
  • e - Light green
  • f - Brown/Pink

Outfit Message of the Day

The Message of the Day displayed on the Outfit pane (and editable only by the Outfit Leader) uses a similar scheme, but instead of a single hexadecimal digit, uses a six-character scheme similar to HTML.

The Command for this is:

  • \#
  • - The two hexadecimal digit for the amount of red in the color used (range: 00 - FF).
  • - The two hexadecimal digit for the amount of red in the color used (range: 00 - FF).
  • - The two hexadecimal digit for the amount of red in the color used (range: 00 - FF).
  • - The message that you want colorized.

For example:

If you want to make an Message of the Day in Pink saying 'BFR event this Friday!', you would have to type this:

  • \#F440FF BFR event this Friday!

And it will appear like this:

  • BFR event this Friday!
