How to make colorized GMs?

[(Athosino)]

Hello guys, I'm creating a simple guild bot and wanna know how to make colorized guild messages. It doesn't seem to be anywhere: I have searched the entire ELC source code and found nothing. Could you please point me the right direction?

 

Thanks

 

P.S.: Examples in C/C++ preferred

You obviously haven't searched hard enough.

 

If I remember correctly, your message should contain the colour code at the beginning of the text you are adding to a #gm string.

 

For example:

char msg[50];
sprintf( msg,"#gm %c this is a test message",c_green1 );

(i'm no C programmer, thats off the top of my head )

Basically, read the colour codes in client_serv.h

actually, it's 127 + colour number for the needed char code

the list is in client_serv.h, around line 380

and if you want a C++ style example... (from memory)

 

std::string output;

output = "#gm ";

output+=127+c_green1;

output+="this is my line";

send(output);

 

ed: forgot to mention... this is just how it's done in code... please make sure you have GM permission to use it and stuff coloured messages can get rather annoying at times
