Text Colours

[bulldogg]

0xFF000001

what format is that above for the colors? if its like a different bit for each value to have like bold, underline and colours ect im gonna get confused

You can refer to this page for details about the style attribute. Unfortunatelly the formatting of the comments there is missing so its a bit hard to read, I'll see if I can fix that. All info is there though but breaking the above down would get you the following:

0xFF000001 => (blue=0xFF; green=0x00; red=0x00; bold(bit 0)=true)

aint that the way flhook does colours?

- <TRA .../> NODE SYNTAX -
the data field of a TRA node consists of an RGB value along with format specifications:
<TRA data="0xBBGGRRFF" mask="-1"/>
BB is the blue value
GG is the green value
RR is the red value
FF is the format value
(all in hexadecimal representation)

format flags are:
bin hex dec effect
00000001 1 1 bold
00000010 2 2 italic
00000100 4 4 underline
00001000 8 8 big
00010000 10 16 big&wide
00100000 20 32 very big
01000000 40 64 smoothest?
10000000 80 128 smoother?
10010000 90 144 small
simply add the flags to combine them (e.g. 7 = bold/italic/underline)

Its the way flserver does color so yes, same format.

[bulldogg]

yay...still confused
soo it does

0xBBGGRR so red would be 0x25500 ? or does it work like hex so red would be 0xFF0000?

is there any website that can generate the hex/code?

[Eagle]

In programming languages 0x is often used to prefix hexadecimal numbers, as is the case here. Click this link to get some background information on how this number system works as its just a different means to represent numbers... one which is closer to how these are stored on a computer.

In the style parameter, different parts have been broken down into individual bytes, even bits. The online documentation has been updated in the mean time so please refer to that for details.

As for converting regular numbers to hex... just use the windows calculator, it has all you need build in allready ^^

We were using this on flhook but its in the same format, for those that doesn't want get involved into hexdecimals this is the easy one:


0x99F921 ORANGE
0xFF000021 BLUE
0x00FF0021 GREEN
0xe900e921 PURPLE
0x0000FF21 RED

[bulldogg]

yay

Note that with hex 21 at the end you not only have bold face, but also the largest possible font (Squared font, size 6). Accurate documentation concerning can be found here.

sorry to bump this but would the following:

0x0000FF39

be Red, Bold, Big and Squared font, size 4

its the last two digits im not all too sure on do we just add all the hex values up and thats the number

for instance what would it be for: blue, bold, italic, smoothest, Rounded font, size 4

thanks BlackBeard


if you could explain your answer for the above example that would be awesome

[Eagle]

0x0000FF39 is composed as follows:

Byte 0 (0x39)
Written as binary this gives you
0011 1001

or 0x38 + 0x01 in bit components as shown in docs

7654 3210 (bit positions)
0011 1000 (0x38)
0000 0001 (0x01)

Bit 0: 1 (bold is on)
Bit 1: 0 (italic is off)
Bit 2: 0 (underlined is off)
Bit 3-7: 0x38 (Squared font, size 1)

Byte 1 (0xFF)
Red component is decimal 255 or maximum red value.

Byte 2 (0x00)
No green component.

Byte 3 (0x00)
No blue component.

End result is therefor bold, red, Squared font, size 1 text.

So how does one get blue, bold, italic, Rounded font, size 4? We'll take a look at the docs again and find that Rounded font, size 4 has multiple possibilities that will work so we'll just take the 1st one in the list which is 0x10 or 0001 0000 binary.

The last 3 bits would become 1 for bold (on), 1 for italic (on) and 0 for underline (off) in proper binary order that would give us 011 (see docs for bit order), 011 binary equals 0x03 and adding that to 0x10 makes...

0001 0000 (0x10)
0000 0011 (0x03)
------------------------- +
0001 0011 (0x13)

Now the color components would be 0 for red and green and 0xFF for blue or 0xFF0000 for bytes 1 through 3, stick byte 0 behind that and we get 0xFF000013.

Hope that clears things up for you, see also hexadecimal on wiki for explanation on this number system.
