Color embedding - Emre__ - 12.10.2012

I've a text like this:

pawn Код:

format(str, sizeof(str), "{FFFFF}Bla bla{FF9900} and something about {FFFFFF}brigde{FF90FF} and la la {FFFFFF}la{FF90FF}");
SendClientMessageToAll(0xFF9000FF, str);

But the problem is, when I use color embedding thing three times, it doesn't sent the message. str variable is big enough. Is there any way to show 'em all?

Does it send half of the message or?

Re: Color embedding - 2KY - 12.10.2012

Well, why are you using a string for that message first off, or was that just an example?

I've got this:

pawn Код:

SendClientMessage( playerid, -1, "  "#Int_RankOrange"HINT: "#Int_White"Roleplay your injuries and then type "#Int_LimeGreen"/acceptdeath "#Int_White"to be transported to a medical center." );

and it's working perfectly fine. (Which is basically the same thing as yours, except I use definitions)

Of course it was an example. Why on earth a server would send a message to players?

Anyway, I'll try that and edit that post. (if someone didn't reply before me.)

If you're going to try my example, you're going to need my colour set. (Unless you were editing it for yourself.)

pawn Код:

// Colours

#define         Colour_White            (0xFFFFFFFF)
#define         Int_White               "{FFFFFF}"

#define         Colour_Red              (0xD10F0FFF)
#define         Int_Red                 "{D10F0F}"

#define         Colour_Yellow           (0xF6FF00FF)
#define         Int_Yellow              "{F6FF00}"

#define         Colour_AdminBlue        (0x56D7E8FF)
#define         Int_AdminBlue           "{56D7E8}"

#define         Colour_RankOrange       (0xF5AF0CFF)
#define         Int_RankOrange          "{F5AF0C}"

#define         Colour_LimeGreen        (0xC1E60BFF)
#define         Int_LimeGreen           "{C1E60B}"

#define         Colour_Grey             (0x525452FF)
#define         Int_Grey                "{525452}"

#define         Colour_Purple           (0x942DA6FF)
#define         Int_Purple              "{942DA6}"

I tried your example but it didn't work. But i didn't use it with # thing at that point:

pawn Код:

SendClientMessage( playerid, -1, "  "#Int_RankOrange"HINT: "#Int_White"Roleplay your injuries and then type "#Int_LimeGreen"/acceptdeath "#Int_White"to be transported to a medical center." );

Re: Color embedding - 2KY - 12.10.2012

Try this then.

pawn Код:

SendClientMessage( playerid, -1, "{D10F0F}This text should be red." );

If that doesn't work, I'm beginning to doubt you have the correct SA:MP version.

Re: Color embedding - Vince - 12.10.2012

Keep in mind that the maximum output string for a chat message is 144 characters. Anything longer simply won't be displayed. Every embedded color you use adds 8 characters to that limit.

Re: Color embedding - Emre__ - 12.10.2012

Oh yes. @2KY's is 126 characters with color tags. I think I should decrease my characters, first.
