Console Colors - RunUO

BeneathTheStars · 08-09-2006, 01:01 AM

It would be great to be able to change the console Warning/Error colors from a script outside the core.

Sure it's possible, just look into how it's done in c# and there you go

The easiest thing is to modify the core scriptcompiler.cs. Change this line in the Display method around line 450 and then recompile the core.

Code:

					Utility.PushColor( ConsoleColor.DarkRed );

I personally find Red to be much easier to see

Code:

					Utility.PushColor( ConsoleColor.Red );

(edit)

oh, and warning color is set a little bit earlier in the same method, so you can mod that as you like as well.

Yes, i know how to change console colors by recompiling the core.

It would just be nice to have not to.

You can send manuall console "error message" with any color that you want without recompiling it.

you could add a command line option that allows you to specify error message color if you want that kind of flexibility.

while on the subject, which (exact) file is typically considered the "core"?

In RunUO 1.0.0 it's the server.exe file (should be in RunUO 2.0 RC1 as well unless they renamed it).

You can also change the console background color if you really want to have an attention grabber.
