Everything you can rename can be named using colors. Coloring however is a bit tricky, as you need to use special characters.
Colorformat
SWG uses the RRGGBB format for specifying colors: the Red, Green, Blue intensity values. Values are in the range of 0-255 for every color. However, you will have to use the hexadecimal format.:
Decimal (normal) - Hexadecimal
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 5
6 = 6
7 = 7
8 = 8
9 = 9
10 = A
11 = B
12 = C
13 = D
14 = E
15 = F
16 = 10 (!)
...
255 = FF
Calculations are a bit difficult to explain (I could), but it's easier to look for Websites containing samples for all the colors and the corresponding codes.
Integrating in SWG
If you have found a color you like, then how do you apply it to your crafted item, or backpack, or house, factory, anything that allows you to enter text (yes, including email).
To do this, you will need to put the RRGGBB code in between a special code:
\#RRGGBB\
Examples:
\#FF0000\this is red -> this is red
\#00FF00\this is green -> this is green
\#0000FF\this is blue -> this is blue
Ofcourse combinations can be made:
\#FF0000\this \#FFFFFF\is \#000000\some \#0000FF\test. -> this is some test
Main problem!
However, there is a slight problem when entering the \ key. It won't show on your screen. So it's difficult typing if you can't keep track.
For that, use a normal editor, like Windows Notepad, Wordpad or any simpel ascii tekst editor (even MS Word would suffice). Type in the text in the editor and copy/paste it into the field in the SWG application. Use the Alt-Tab keycombination to switch between the editor and SWG.
To be able to paste into SWG, something special needs to be done. Coming to you in the next post.
