Title: Writing coloured text in game room
Post by: felekfelek on March 17, 2019, 10:29 PM

I play this game 10+ years and I thought I saw everything, but yesterday guy wrote in game room 'mole time' with every letter in different colour.

I checked Worms Armageddon\User\Logs\ directory but all I saw was

Code: [Select]

[2019-03-17 10.33.02] <Thanatonaut> \pm\go\rl\ye \bt\gi\pm\ye \r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to repeat it?

It was not during game, but in the game room (where players enter your room but before game starts).

I think you can only write coloured text in private messages, and only in the pregame lobby. And you can't see the colours yourself, only the recipient can.

So he wrote /msg felekfelek \pm\go\rl\ye \bt\gi\pm\ye \r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You used to be able to do the same thing in the general lobbies (#AnythingGoes, etc) but that seems to have been changed. You could even write "/msg #AnythingGoes \pm\go\rl\ye \bt\gi\pm\ye \r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" to send that coloured message to everyone in the channel.

I also just found out, 2 days ago, that with rubberworm you're able to write /h2so4 in chat and make water change colors throughout whole game.

All these years thought only commands are /colormod and /arrows. :D

/h2so4 is not a RubberWorm feature, it's a built-in easter egg in the game.
/h2o will pause the changes at the current color.
