Speak with All the Colours of the Rainbow

[hamcakee]

Hello, I was messing around trying to do the 'otherworld' glitch on private servers and I discovered it didn't really work as expected.

The macro suggested for disconnecting yourself didn't work, however it had the interesting side effect of letting you speak in a different colour than default.

Here is the (modified) macro. I removed the unimportant parts.

/run if(not scm) then scm = SendChatMessage; end; function SendChatMessage(msg,type,lang,chan) scm("\124cFF7F00FF\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0 :0: \124h" ..msg.. "\124h\124r",type,lang,chan);end;

The relevant part of this macro is the \124cFF7F00FF
This macro will turn all of your next chat messages Purple (everyone loves purple!) after you press it. It lasts until you log out.

This is because 7F00FF is the hex code for Purple. Simply replace this hex code with whatever colour you want!

Here is a nice chart with lots of different hex codes on it:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Each hex code is 6 characters, make sure you get the whole thing! They are the 6 numbers in each coloured box, but there are 3 on each line for space purposes.

For example, the code for Red from that chart looks like

FF0
000

so that would be FF0000. Sticking that into our macro:

/run if(not scm) then scm = SendChatMessage; end; function SendChatMessage(msg,type,lang,chan) scm("\124cFFFF000\124Hitem:19:0:0:0:0:0 :0: \124h" ..msg.. "\124h\124r",type,lang,chan);end;

Enjoy!

P.S. I tested this on Mangos, maybe it works on other servers too.

This is old, Since Pre-BC.

Only side effect is if your a GM you must relog before you can use commands.

^ Read the info on that Video.

Also this isn't a exploit or a bug.

Alas, seeing as your new to MMOwned and you've posted a good detailed guide on how to do it, Ill give you some to get you out of Leecher.

Ah ok, I assumed that because private servers didn't seem to check for false items IDs that this was unintentional and thus an 'exploit'.
I also didn't know that it was already out there, I remember there being an addon that changed text colour (I don't know by what method) in 2.4.3, but that was fixed so I thought this was a new way.

Thanks for the rep though

No problem, its a lesser known way anyway so this will help some people.

Why do you have to hurt somebody with an exploit? Imo exploits are things that shouldn't normally work, like buying things that cost nothing and sell them for Gold
