Color codes

Note: You can use this colorcode in textmessages, too.

To implement colors into your nickname, you have to write "^x" in front of the nickname/character.

Values for x:

1 = Red
2 = Green
3 = Yellow
4 = Blue
5 = Cyan
6 = Purple
7 = White
8 = Orange
9 = Grey
0 = Black

Example: name "^1Red ^4Blue"

As an alternative you can use $x (since some keyboards, such as a german one, cannot be used to type ^ ingame).

Bind your nickname

If you want to change your nickname with a simple keypress, you can use this command (write it into your config):

bind x name "^6your nickname"

As x you can use any key on your keybord.
