Guest Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 can anyone tell me how you have your mta server name in colours pease. thanks
SM xenex Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 It seems that using colors names will cause instabilty so dont use them,anyone who posts how to do it will get their post deleted or edited by a moderator,so ghost please dont worry about them , they may cause crashes.
pokepets360 Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 ok. I'll just say one thing. when someone with a colored name goes on a server to play........ take it from there
[KFC]KungFu Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Ghost, It's easy all you have to do is [edit] [edit] and then save that's it. good luck.
[PiG] Ponch Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 No you just [EDIT] [EDIT] [EDIT] and that's all you have to [EDIT] I could tell you but I wont [EDIT] [EDIT] [EDIT] But, seriously the coloured names really do mess with the servers and I don't let anybody play on mine with the colours turned on. All you have to do is set your name to black and then no more scoreboard. You just can't read it after they logon. You get one change to turn it off and then *bang* your gone... It's not hard to find out how to do it but don't expect to remain on the server for long if you do For some reason you'll be branded a cheat straight away...
pokepets360 Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 I only used colors once.... nothing big happened.. just that I'm very very noticable
Aeron Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Well my post of my color generator is deleted. But if u use 5 chars and not 1,2,3 or 4 the game won't crash... And idd the scoreboard has nice colors But you can use it in motd.txt or something
danv Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Is it a bug that you can use colors in your name, or what?
SM xenex Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 No its not a bug, but read what has been said about colors.
ashdexx Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 maybe in later versions we could actually color the names ourselves, legitmately? its always nice to have a personal touch. or perhaps assign name colors depending on the team or gang you join when you start, since the radar can be off sometimes.
SM xenex Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 YE it could be nice, i remember in mta:vc 0.1 the were easier and didnt "seem" to cause instabilaty from what i know, the were like ~b~ for bleu ~Y~ for yellow etcetc( btw these dont work with 0.2 nor 0.2.2 so no need to try them out, even having said that i know some of you will go try them)
Alex3305 Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Why are these taken out.. And I saw some1 with Color Name but that didn't effect the game....
Magus Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Why are these taken out.. And I saw some1 with Color Name but that didn't effect the game.... because the game crashes a lot anyways and people assume that something as little as changing the color of their name causes that, which isn't the case at all, its just bugs that everything else ends up having. This is a beta after all.
me Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 No, the problem with colored names is that it probably causes the config.cfg to be cleared, requiring a re-install. Yes, it is a bug in MTA that allows you to use colors... You were never meant to be able to use them.
pokepets360 Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 so.... how were the symbols discovered?

You were never meant to be able to use them. Or make the config.cfg file read-only?
ashdexx Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 yep, i set mine to read only and all problems with that being cleared out disappeared. and despite what you might say, i personally, have used colored names quite often, with no more crashing than when i dont.
@ndy Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 but its other people who crash more. wot if they havent made their config.cfg read-only + that clears? that would mean they would keep havin 2 reinstall i don't see whats so great bout coloured names tho
ashdexx Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 there isn't anything great about it, but like i said before, its a nice personal touch. if its "other people who crash more" then how come i dont crash when my name is normal, and the other ppl have colorized their names?
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted November 16, 2003 MTA Team Posted November 16, 2003 2 things: *collored names have been known to cause server instability and increase the number of crashes. *they mess up the scoreboard, chat and so on Therefore we urge you not to use colored nicknames and don't come with the argument : why did you put it in? simple we didn't, it is some D3D stuff we didn't know about
vass69 Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 why are some using them? coluored names dont change skills, so i dont know why do that

Dos has no problems with non-characters characters And u can fix that scorebord (btw how do u get colors in the MTA stuff...?)
SM|rawk_it Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 why isnt it disabled, there gotta be a way to strip it unless the fact ppl sayin it 'crash' even tho mta crash either way but its fucken annoying, to me
