Does anyone have a list of those color codes you can use on items to change the color of their display text? I'm talking about the ones like "Ä¿ÿ4" or however it goes. I had one, but lost it.

Hmm...this sounds really interesting.I've never heard about such things but if you had one this means that probably others exist too.I was thinking that such things maybe exist cuz Starcraft uses tbl files too(I think different structure tho)and it has color codes.We just have to find them now...

I know a few of them, but I'm trying to find the rest. If all else fails, I can use a little bit of random guessing with the ones I already know and see what results I get.

I know:

ÿc4 - Gold (Unique Item Color)
ÿc8 - Orange (Crafted Item Color)

If you put these in front of the text, they change the item's text color. So if you entry is:

ÿc4Happy ÿc8Days

You'll get "Happy" in gold and "Days" in orange.

When we get a list, perhaps we should add it to the Phrozen Keep's files.

I always just copied and pasted them from my list, but you can also find them using the "Character Map" program, which shows extra characters in each font like they upside down question mark and wierd "A".

There are other colors. I know that all the colors for rare, magic, set are on there, as well as white, purple, dark green, and others. Give me a minute and I'll see what I can find.

Anyway, to change a color back to normal, you have to use the white color change thing. Whatever it is.

On a sorta similiar subject, do you know how to get the displays to use the smaller font?

When you have a lot of gem prop's, the display can get kinda wacky. Being able to force the small font would be nice.

Wonderful!

But how do I revert the color back to the original color after having colored a word red for example?

You need to use the light gray code. If you put:

I like ÿc1red ÿc0and shiny things.

You would get:

I like - in light gray
red - in red
and shiny things - in light gray

U can also write them by holding Alt and push the numbuttons in different orders. Example:
Hold Alt, push 0, then 1, then 4, then 7, then 8, release Alt = Æ
