Where are the messages Hercules outputs in Logs and how to change color?

[Zirius 1]

Hello! If we allow to show exp gained/zeny gain in exp.conf
 
Hercules succesfully displays it, but how can I modify the message and the color? Green is lame I think. LOL.

 

UPDATE. How to change the color of "clif_disp_onlyself" output by src/map/pc.c?

 

	if(sd->state.showexp) {		char output[256];		sprintf(output,			"Experience Gained Base:%u (%.2f%%) Job:%u (%.2f%%)",base_exp,nextbp*(float)100,job_exp,nextjp*(float)100);		clif_disp_onlyself(sd,output,strlen(output));	}

unfortunately ... hercules' clif->colormes is badly coded

if you really need it, you have to create another one ==> 'clif->colormes2'

then you can do as the format

clif->colormes2( sd->fd, <color code>, "<message>" );

example like

clif->colormes2( sd->fd, 0xFF0000, "Red Light" );

Bump. Edited as I learned it is in src/map/pc.c

 

Hope somebody can help.

Finally made it worked. (mam, your src are far too different from mine? Is that latest GIT?)

 

Just for precaution mam, the original says: 

 

clif_disp_onlyself()

does colormes2() will make sure it behaves as clif_disp_onlyself() ?

 

Thanks mam!

clif_disp_onlyself is actually clif->disp_message

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/master/src/map/clif.h#L50

clif->disp_message is using guild-chat color to send message to the target

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/master/src/map/clif.c#L8115

the packet starts with 0x17f

 

clif->colormes ... however, using different kind of packet

the packet starts with 0x2C1

and on the 4th field of the packet allows color coding, which clif->disp_message couldn't do

 

so no ... depends on how you deprecate it

they are doing the same thing, which display a message on player's chat box

just clif->colormes allows color code, but clif->disp_message couldn't

while they are actually using different types of packets
