Chat screen colors

[iamaqt]

I have a question about how hard it is to make different types of 'chats' in different colors?

Right now we have Shouts in Yellow, Meta's in Orange, Tells in Green, Whispers in Grey.

Talk, Party, and emotes are all white.

Could we get some varation in these? Sometimes I miss chats when we are fighting (say Castle Gaobin) and the vamps are spamming 'Blood!' and 'Food, tasty!' on the chat screen.

It also would help when crafting/dying and you miss a party chat - a different color would help alert to the message.

And when Dodrudon is spamming emotes

chat colors are set locally by the client. you can change them yourself by editing the nwnplayer.ini. there is a section that kinda looks like this:

[Chat Colors]
TalkColor=240,240,240
ShoutColor=255,239,80
WhisperColor=128,128,128
TellColor=32,255,32
ServerColor=176,176,176
PartyColor=240,240,240
DMColor=16,223,255

you can change the colors by editing the numbers. the 3 numbers represent the values for red, green and blue.

Hey thanks a lot Bhao!
I'll get my computer programer husband (that'd be Phal for those who know him) to do this asap for me!

Ok, we looked in my nwnplayer.ini, and I don't have anything like that in the list.
Can I manually add those?

We did, and it worked - thanks again!

yes. make sure not to cut another section in half. add at beginning or end.
