color writing

how the hell do you do it? i keep seeing some |cf00000 stuff but i dont get it. how do you make the color writing. and how do you put a picture in the map preview. like in DotA. it says DotA Allstats by guinsoo a tda production. i wanna know how to put that there.

You can use the program I attachd to this post to colorize your text with ease (Note: You MUST have winRAR to open this file or use the Windows XP extractor and extract the file to your desktop, then run the program, enter your text, find the color(s) you wish to have your text be, and hit OK, then move the cursor (mouse) over the coding the appears in the small box, right click and select "Select ALL" and then right click again and hit "Copy Text". Then "paste" the text where ever you want it in your map.

As for your second question, you must have an image sized properly as 256x256 or 128x128 in .TGA format. then open the Import Managerm import your file and rename it (by clicking custom path) and type: War3mapPreview so it now look like this: War3mapPreview.TGA HIT OK and save the map (Ctrl + S) Peace

"|c" is the escape sequence for coloured text in WC3. That isn't an L, its shift + forward slash (on my keyboard, its just left of backspace).

The colour codes have three parts, the first, "|c" is the beginning. When the copmputer sees this, it knows that what follows is coloured. Immediately after this beginning is a hexadecimal colour code, usually something like "FF00FF00".

Hexadecimals is kinda like normal numerals, but instead of having digits of jsut 0-10, hexadecimal digits extend from 0-10 then A-F with F being the highest value. The first two characters are the opacity setting. FF is completely opaque. 00 is completely transparent. CC (or thereabouts) is 50% transparent. The next two characters is the amount of Red. The two after that is the amount of Green. The last two characters is how much Blue there is.

So, "|cFFFFFFFF" is an opaque white. "|cFF00FF00" is an opaque Green.

Finally, the colour code has an ending. It is "|r". Everything between the front "|c########" to "|r" will be coloured according to your colour settings.

It's not easy to get the colour you want using raw hexadecimal so these colour programs automatically generate the hexcode you want for a desired colour.

k thx a lot.

A better program than the colorizer is WC3 Spoofer, it gives you just the code, making it easier to decipher where you text is going to be placed. I tried both of them, and I suggest the spoofer over the colorizer. Just follow th15's directions for opening and closing color tags.

Get it from any site, just Google "wc3 spoofer" or "warcraft spoofer."

huh? spoofers are ppl that hack and use the names of other ppl. for example if someone was to spoof me, he would have the same username as me. in this case, 2 rosen1's with no #2 thingy. of course since blizzard is focused on the WoW servers, our bnet servers are shit. in other words, barely anyone is doing shit about hackers. and hexidecimals confuse me. of course i recomend player's colorizer even though i havent used it. it works like a charm.

I know, i know. A spoof is a kind of hack, but it uses the same hexidecimal codes as regular color text. It's an easier user interface than the colorizer, is all I meant. I prefer it over the colorizer...

so you want me to hack someone just to get the hexadecimal color code and have a .1% chance of getting banned from BNet? no thx.
