It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
almost in the same way as how you set a colored name: use the program to generate a colored text (no limitations at 20 characters for speeches) and copy it to the clipboard. Open user.ini and scroll down to the '[Engine.Input]' part. Take an unused key and make it look like this:
<key>=say <copy content of clipboard> or <key>=teamsay <copy content of clipboard>
eg:
Down=teamsay à@@vvv àÀ@Below à@@vvv
Comma=say ¤à@Pure luck
In theory, you can say something colored on the fly, but you'll have to know how to type the special characters

Unfortunately, from what I've heard, the next patch has the colored message "feature" removed. Oh well. Maybe Fraghouse can find something else that might work?Mr.Sizzle said:Great job Hyrulian!!! I hope they dont release the patch to cut out coloured names because i think they are cool
"setname name" should give you colors even on patched servers. Bind it in the .ini
bwt great program Hyrulian Hero :up:

Ah, so there is still a way around Epic's removal of colored names!

With the way the player models reflect the ambient light in the maps today, sometimes it's necessary to see the right colored name just to tell what team the player is on.
A good example of this is DM-FreneticBurn (hate that map). No matter where you stand in it your player model reflects ORANGE. BRIGHT FOOKIN' ORANGE. I don't know how irritating it is to let a player run freely in front of you only to realize 2 seconds later he's on the opposite team as he puts an LG bolt through your skull. Might not have happened if his name was appropriately team colored and not BRIGHT FOOKIN' GREEN. Also hate the "I'm on the red team but my name is blue" crap people pull with that.
I'm sorry it's been argued for and against before I know but coloring your name in my opinion is just wrong IN TEAM GAMES. I could care less if your name is bright pink with baby-puke-green trim around it in DM or Invasion or something but in team games you might as well have a half-red half-blue colored skin as well to totally complete the confusion factor.

CTF-HallofGiants comes to mind. No matter what team you're on, everybody looks red.BooGiTyBoY said:
Hey, another bump. Welcome to BU, Captkurt. Glad you like the message colorizer, but colored names are gone for quite some time now.

wow 4 year old revive, I'm not sure if you can do that since 2005, with the latest patch, I've heard that you can't use colours then, unless your using utc. Not certain though...
