RELEASED Hel's Custom Chat Colours Version 0.2

Hey, you released a mod! Yay!

Minor things to consider for the future:
- Pack the mod as a zip instead of a rar. Every computer can open a zip file, but you need a special program to open rar files.
- You should patch the chat.config, not replace it. This will avoid potential conflicts with any other mod that might change the chat.config as well.

 

Here are two very useful sites.

1. This one is a "comment stripper". You may find some configs with some text explaning what things do in it. They are always prefixed with a double slash, and are typically used for making notes in the code, but obviously the game won't know what to do with the text so you "comment it out". This site removes those comments

http://trinithis.awardspace.com/commentStripper/stripper.html

Example: Runing the following through the comment stripper will return the latter bit.

Code:

{
    // I am a comment!
    "frameGrid" : {
        "size" : [41, 8],
        "dimensions" : [1, 2],
     // Look at me, I am another comment!
        "names" : [
            ["inactive"],
            ["active"]
        ]
    }
}

Becomes...

Code:

{
    "frameGrid" : {
        "size" : [41, 8],
        "dimensions" : [1, 2],
        "names" : [
            ["inactive"],
            ["active"]
        ]
    }
}

This leads into the second site.

2. This site will help you generate the patch files.
http://chbrown.github.io/rfc6902/

- In the yellow text box, paste in the config. You can't include comments so that is why you need the stripper from above.
- Then, copy the config into a clean notepad, or whatever you use for editing the configs, then make the changes you wish to have. Paste THAT in the green text box.
- Automagically, in the purple/blue section, it will generate the code for the patch. Copy this text to your own config and name it with an extension of ."patch" at the end. IE: In your case, it will be "chat.config.patch"

Code:

Hope that makes sense.

 

Hey Hel, can you release the grey version on Steam please? If so, that'd be great!

 

Oh? I didn't see the grey version, only the pink one. Did you change the grey one from private to public?
