Title: COLORS AND WORDS
Post by: Kevin on November 26, 2006, 12:41:52 AM

How do i change what the server says every like 10 mins (eg:  Youre Playing on XXXXXX, please enjoy your stay) how can i change that to a specific color and change it to my wording and how often it shows up. THanks

PS: how do i change the color of the messages that come up with the command "@@@"

You can find the advert config in the config directory.

To change the color of that command, you'd have to change the code, which is in util.lua.

For the advert
in configs/server.ini:

Code: [Select]

ulx addCsayAdvert "You're playing on %hostname%, enjoy your stay!" 100 255 200 300 10
Put your message in the quotes. The first 3 numbers are the red, green, and blue color values (out of 255). The fourth is the time it waits to repeat (seconds), and the fifth is how long it should stay visible (seconds).

For the @@@.
In ulx/util.lua:
in function ulx.cc_csay (~line 189)

Code: [Select]

ULib.csay( 0, args )
add your additional color arguments to that call.
ex for red it would be

Code: [Select]

ULib.csay( 0, args, 255, 0, 0 )

Sorry for the 2 year bump but instead of starting a whole new recent thread on changing the ULX Chat text colours
I ran a forum search for it and recycled this old thread...

I did find where the file was in the newer versions
Ulx\lua\ulx\modules\util.lua

I think the instructions should still work for you.
