Type the below in game and you should see red white and blue chunks instead of "||||||||"
[bb00bb]The [ff0000]Red [ffffff]White [bb00bb]and [0000ff]Blue [u][ff0000]|||||||| [ffffff]|||||||| [0000ff]||||||||
ALSO
[ff000010] Test
The tiny bit above shows the problem with hex codes, below 10 alpha you can not see the text, maybe set a limit of 15+? So 0+15 or something? (Idk what language your code is)
Point is that U is an underline and it's not showing, and alpha goes WAY too low.
Posted here because more a suggestion than a bug, maybe make a [h] tag, copy the underline stuff, and change it's transparency to 10-20% or something, and also please set alpha to be visible even if barely visible, thanks for reading :D
?
BlueTangs Rock3, Alpha is the name for the transparency of text, a hex code is a code that is numbers and letters and is used for colored text, eg.. "ff0000" is red it has 6 characters, you may also allow this code to have transparency by simply adding 2 digits at the end, in other words...
00000000 = 0 red 0 red 0 green 0 green 0 blue 0 blue 0 alpha 0 alpha
That will give you black.... Basically by allowing people to set alpha to 0 ere text is invisible! And it can get really annoying. Now that's explained, onto the [u] or "underline" problem. As you may know some genius created code to add a line under text a d it is in many programs, someone adapted it to be used when the letter U was typed in square brackets (these:[ ] ) and when you do [u] some text [/u] in html form in many websites using the same comment system this forum uses, it will underline "some text"
This forum has disabled that feature, so no demonstration here, but that is the html code for underline: <u> text </u> or of course <u text />
You get it now blue? xD
Kieranb,
Forgot to mention the problem with U, basically it highlights text in same color as your text, so instead of seeing h you would see a black shape. :P
Kieranb,Aye, I've noticed it
Kieranb,kinda confuses me. Is the 6 digit "code" the strength of the color? 2 zeros r green, 2 zeros r red, and 2 zeros r blue, so if I input [000001] would that be blueish?
TU☯,
No... It would be black, 0 is no color, f is full color, it ranges from black to white, so think of red red green green blue blue and to get red you use ff0000 for green 00ff00 and for blue 0000ff the f is 15, and 0 is well.... 0 haha, here is a page explaining it in detail.
Kieranb,Oh.... I use numbers instead of letters :P
But thanks!
TU☯,
The table in that previous link shows the strength of the colours for the letters, basically first 6 digits are color, last 2 digits are transparency, you do not need to add last 2 as they are not required, blueish would be 002eea, you may get colors the super easy way using W3Schools
Kieranb,so there's a problem with the "RGB" color hues and some highlightings?
Sorry for late reply, and yes, basically highlighting uses the exact same color and alpha (or hue/transparency etc) of the color your word is, meaning you may not see words while using [u] tag, it is originally meant for underline, not even highlighting! But good job, it isn't that easy to change those kind of things like that xD just need some more work, and it's not really a problem with alpha, you just can't see text under 05 (I tested it again) and what's the point of even typing something nobody can read? 15 would be good as it's see through yet readable limit.
