Colored text messages?

[Snakeyes]

Greetings,

 

I searched the forums and I could not find anything related to the topic.

 

Is there any way to make the text messages colored? Specifically, I would like the server restart messages from the BEC scheduler to be red rather than white. Red text pops on the screen! While white text can be overlooked by players.

I've looked around for this for a long time.

 

No one has ever come up with a solution.

I don't know if it is possible. I just Googled for it using ArmA3 and I got nothing.

Hi, I think the color of the message is and will ever be white. But you can change the color and name of the "name" from server. 

e.g: 

SERVER: Bec (Global):  Server restarts in 10mins.

The "SERVER" Is the Windows username of the server and the color you can change somwhere in bec folders I think :)

Thanks. I'll look at that more closely. The server messages are all I want to change the color for anyway.

It could be related to this parameter in the BEC config. I'm not sure what a two digit color code represents? More common is RGB.

 

ConsoleColor = 1f

Change BEC text color.

Inside Config.cfg:

Code:

[Misc]
Color = 1f

Color = Hex
Set custom color scheme for your Bec, value are hex, range is from 00 to FF.
You can open CMD.exe and type example: color 1a (play around with the colors to find what you like best).
This would be the best method to find out what colors you like instead of starting Bec up 100 times."

FogHorn,

 

That is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Update " its not possible to change color. The color you see ingame is set by arma itself. not Bec ". :(

I was wondering what voodoo you had :)

Sok, I have my server messages/restart messages set for a light gray now. It's less obtrusive than a bright green or hot pink.

@Snakeyes

 So where would one find said settings?

As FogHorn stated a couple posts up on the thread, the text color cannot be changed because the color is set by ArmA 3 not by BEC.
