Maybe have ooc messages color coded? It's a real mess with huge parties talking OOC and IC. Plus I think the color coding will help keep people in the habbit of using a // or whatever. I usually talk ooc because everyone else ends up not using the // and then you have the great RP'er in the group talking IC and it just loses it power with the chat being all white.

Aha, knew I was forgetting something. Added that bit about changing chat colors I mentioned into a thread in the hints forum.


But yes, it'd be neat too if text prefaced with "//" could echo back in "OOC colors".

It's possible.

Now, we'd need to pick a color for purposeful OOC.

By default, NWN uses:
shout = yellow
tell = green
talk = white
party = [Party] white
whisper = grey
dm channel = cyan (make msgs stand out for us DMs)

Aenea stuff uses:
server reset messages = magenta
level-up announcements = cyan
indigo = "ve" visible emote color (same as your name in the chat window)

So, what would work well against most backgrounds, be easy to read, and not be the same as normally used colors?

Orange is easy to read and noticable. So I vote orange.

Maybe a nice Aqua color like RGB: (0,180,240). I think more people would prefer a lighter color opposed to orange though. Yeah I did recently change my group chat color to orange because the Pumpkin.

  • Edit: Just tested Aqua it looks too much like the Level up notification. So I dunno.

I tend to use aqua for /tells myself.

How about 192,192, 255? It's between white/grey and cyan... different from the level up angel of glory shouts, but still noticable as not to get lost in other text.

// OOC color coding will be in after the next planned reset.
Just start your line with // and the color change will be automatically applied to your text.
