I want to make a plug-in that changes the colour of the text that i pass to the command.
I know that there are plug-ins that all ready do this, but there is nothing like a plug made at home.
My problem is that i can´t use the (!fcxx) tag, i know that i must use the sCCColor constant, but i don´t know how to.
Please if anyone can help me, i would be glad
Manuel


pd: Sorry for my english

In VB, just use the normal string concatenation. You may need to use Char() as well, I can't remember.
In C++, you'll have to use strcat() to get the same effect.

Follow the sCCColor by two comma separated numbers. The first is foreground, the second background. Any number from 0 to 63 can be used (0 to 15 for Plus 2). I recommend using a leading zero on single digits: it will limit possible bugs.

Thanks, it really worked out

the formats (RRR,GGG,BBB) and #RRGGBB are also allowed for colors. In the 1st format, the letters are 3-ditigs decimal numbers (like (054,005,255)) and in the 2nd format they're hexadecimal digits (like in #3366cc)

How do you say i can use that????
I concat that colour with the text i want to send???

yes. You have to create a string that has the sCCColor character followed by the color code and followed by the text you want in that color. For example:
"Hello X#3366ccWorld"
^in that string, suppose that the X is the sCCColor character. Well, that string will be displayed like this:
Hello World

if your using VB the example would be like this:
' Replace 3366cc with the color code...

sResult = "Hello " & Char(sCCColor) & "#3366ccWorld"



If I'm mistaking then please correct me...

In fact it'd be Chr$(sCCColor) instead of that Char function, but the idea is right

In C it'd be

strcpy(sResult, "Hello ");
strcat(sResult, sCCColor);
strcat(sResult, "#3366ccWorld");

Thanks folk, i will try it
