DJ-Mills Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) someone once joined my game from ase and i noticed that their whole name didnt fit in the screen, and mta caused it to make their text alter colour sligtly. I so thought hmm maybe its possible to use colour codes like in mta 0.1. and well IT IS!!! heres some codes for you, put them before your name with no space, u may have to shorten your name if it wont fit, i dont reccommend using ase to enter your name as it may affect the aoutcome, change your name in your client. RE-EDIT Ok with some help from my good friend 'blues' who somtimes plays on my server i have learned to control the code, so here the list of the colours in their solid form EDIT BY ME (the moderator): Using color nicknames is known to cause problems with MTA:VC. Please, do not use them. So if your name was Dave you would put **Dave and your name would be Dave in game BUT IN RED!!!!! EDIT: there, to get that string of colour i pasted this into my client: EDIT2: I forgot to mention, IT COLOURS YOUR NAMETAG TOO!!!! EDIT3: OMG OMG OMG, i just discovered that u CAN use the code in your MOTD.txt server file! if u do u get this: DJ-Mills ([email protected]) Edited October 19, 2003 by Guest check out my GTA3 & Vice City Vehicles at http://moddingu.gamingsource.co.uk [MAIN SITE]

{VCPD}Andi Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Yep,it works,but a little differently for me Do i have to paste it into Game or in Client? In client Blue and Yellow looked like dark red Here's a screenie:
Gamefreek Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Im surprised the didnt delete the codes yet like they do in other topics about color

In client Blue and Yellow looked like dark red Here's a screenie: IMAGE REMOVED ON QUOTE hmm, i dont know what u did their, but you paste it into client, its best for use in your name, and only at the beginning of your name, your name can be a MAX of 7 characters AFTER the CODE! check out my GTA3 & Vice City Vehicles at http://moddingu.gamingsource.co.uk [MAIN SITE]
monkeydude35 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 i dont think they should take it out it would be great for gangwars cause u cant always see the name but you would be able to see the color. you can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day or you can shoot the man and eat him for a few days.
DJ-Mills Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 i dont think they should take it out it would be great for gangwars cause u cant always see the name but you would be able to see the color. yeh me and my clan all went red once, and we didnt shoot each other by mistake cos u see a red nametag comin at u and u know its friendly, you could have colour teams too, blue vs red for example check out my GTA3 & Vice City Vehicles at http://moddingu.gamingsource.co.uk [MAIN SITE]
[->>CURLY<<-] Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) the post will be editet soon cause it contains ilegal charakters and it crashes the game so please dont use it Edited October 18, 2003 by Guest Sig Revoked Yet Again Due TO Unknown Issues Name Changed Du 2 Unknown Characters Which Prevents Access For Admin To Change Sig
{VCPD}Andi Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) Nope,it does not.. At least for me.. However,it may cause some glitches like screwing scoreboard. Edited October 19, 2003 by Guest
DJ-Mills Posted October 19, 2003 Author Posted October 19, 2003 the post will be editet soon cause it contains ilegal charakters and it crashes the game so please dont use it um no, the MTA team said it 'MAY' cause game instability not it WILL cause it check out my GTA3 & Vice City Vehicles at http://moddingu.gamingsource.co.uk [MAIN SITE]
deJaya Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 curly .. if you dont mind me saying so ... your sig is ridiculously big ... fortunately for me i have a good connection but some dont .. probably best to keep it reasonable .. but i know you're not the only culprit! cheers deJaya deJaya Music
SM Chaoswolf Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 This would be very useful in the Gang Wars. I have seen a few battles goto hell real fast because their shooting based on the skins. By the time they get close enough to read the name...its a corpse. I have seen one problem with COLOR Names. When you hit F11 everything after the colored name changes also, so if someone uses black then no scores can be seen. (and yes there is a way to do BLACK and no im not posting how to do it) deJaya, how come you singled out curly's sig...? SeBsZ's is a bit shorter and longer, but almost the same size. :!:WE WANT A BLAST SECTION:!: GTA:VC World Height Jump Record holder at 156ft
RR`Karnage Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 None of the codes worked for me and a friend of mine. O_o Leader of Rammstein Renegades
ldrancer Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 last time the color codes were posted.. they were deleted
monkeydude35 Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 Can we keep em they are very good for teaming up. If you are going to delete them then can you make another way to distinguish teams in wars. you can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day or you can shoot the man and eat him for a few days.
Gamefreek Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 there is only one problem with colors, they mess up the game I was playing mta today and someone named darkQC joined, right when he joined i couldn't type, i couldnt see other ppl's names and the radar didnt work
Gun.blade Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 hey, DJ-Mills and i had no problems with using these codes, so i shouldn't know why it couldn't with you guys. It is great for team batles (we usually go our clan against rest). And then we will never kill eachother (or other RIP guys) I had the same problem with the chatting in game, but i just restarted the game. It's a glitch in the server somehow.. Because once i changed server.. it never happend again. Serious Street Racer I am Gunblade but it was taken...
NosGoth Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 Here are some of the effects for using coloured names: 1. Can't bring up the scoreboard after coloring your name. 2. People names aren't showed no more. 3. Even more crashes then you normally have. 4. Other people's textmessages get scr*wed up So don't color your names people, please. Re-uploaded B~Ware video: 1.

NosGoth Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 That's what happened to me. Somehow it edited my config.cfg file which includes the keybinds tobring up the scoreboard etc. If this happens to some other people while playing the game, it can be very anoying. So please don't try to f*ck up other people's fun. Re-uploaded B~Ware video: 1. Just Realize
Gamefreek Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I hope MTA makes it so u cant use colors in later versions or they make them work so they dont mess up the game

NosGoth Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I know that. But alot of people don't know that. And I'm not going to argue with you, since you got no point in this discussion. I have to agree with SM-Gamefreek, I hope they remove all options to colour names. If the MTA producers want us to have colours they will build in some sort of device to help. For now, just don't use the colours, please. Re-uploaded B~Ware video: 1. Just Realize
