Version I

Foreword
I know ****** released this kind of script before, but I wanted to do something different.
Before releasing, I asked allowance to share this with you guys via PM and he told me it's fine.

This works as following: you put the '#' char followed by your 6-char hex color then your text (without leaving a space). (See picture)

Well, I didn't want to put a download link because it's a short code.

pawn Код:

stock ColouredText(text[])
{
    new
        pos = -1,
        string[(128 + 16)]
    ;
    strmid(string, text, 0, 128, (sizeof(string) - 16));

    while((pos = strfind(string, "#", true, (pos + 1))) != -1)
    {
        new
            i = (pos + 1),
            hexCount
        ;
        for( ; ((string[i] != 0) && (hexCount < 6)); ++i, ++hexCount)
        {
            if(!(('a' <= string[i] <= 'f') || ('A' <= string[i] <= 'F') || ('0' <= string[i] <= '9')))
            {
                break;
            }
        }
        if((hexCount == 6) && !(hexCount < 6))
        {
            string[pos] = '{';
            strins(string, "}", i);
        }
    }
    return string;
}

Version II

Foreword
This works as following: you put the '#' char followed by the name of the color you want and (without leaving a space) your text. (See picture)

Well, this code is longer but it's easier than the previous to use ingame because not everyone knows how to use hex colors.

pawn Код:

stock ColouredText(text[])
{
    enum
        colorEnum
        {
            colorName[16],
            colorID[7]
        }
    ;
    new
        colorInfo[][colorEnum] =
        {
            { "BLUE",           "1B1BE0" },
            { "PINK",           "E81CC9" },
            { "YELLOW",         "DBED15" },
            { "LIGHTGREEN",     "8CED15" },
            { "LIGHTBLUE",      "15D4ED" },
            { "RED",            "FF0000" },
            { "GREY",           "BABABA" },
            { "WHITE",          "FFFFFF" },
            { "ORANGE",         "DB881A" },
            { "GREEN",          "37DB45" },
            { "PURPLE",         "7340DB" }
        },
        string[(128 + 32)],
        tempString[16],
        pos = -1,
        x
    ;
    strmid(string, text, 0, 128, sizeof(string));

    for( ; x != sizeof(colorInfo); ++x)
    {
        format(tempString, sizeof(tempString), "#%s", colorInfo[x][colorName]);

        while((pos = strfind(string, tempString, true, (pos + 1))) != -1)
        {
            new
                tempLen = strlen(tempString),
                tempVar,
                i = pos
            ;
            format(tempString, sizeof(tempString), "{%s}", colorInfo[x][colorID]);

            if(tempLen < 8)
            {
                for(new j; j != (8 - tempLen); ++j)
                {
                    strins(string, " ", pos);
                }
            }
            for( ; ((string[i] != 0) && (tempVar != 8)) ; ++i, ++tempVar)
            {
                string[i] = tempString[tempVar];
            }
            if(tempLen > 8)
            {
                strdel(string, i, (i + (tempLen - 8)));
            }
            x = -1;
        }
    }
    return string;
}

How to add more colors?
Well, just do as I do in the function. First the name than the 6-char hex color in the 2D-Array.

Example (For Version I and II)

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
    return SendPlayerMessageToAll(playerid, ColouredText(text)), 0;
}

Note
No bugs found in both.
