Title: $-tags and translation files
Post by: Hellzed on January 03, 2009, 04:55:45 am

I heard about something like $-tags to color the briefings texts, but i don't know how to use it.
I need it to put some color in the old french translation files...

$b - blue
$g - green
$r - red
$f - friendly (green or blue, can't remember)
$h - hostile (red)

In the briefing text, put each tag in front the words that need colouring. For example:

Quote from: Type this in FRED

In this mission the $g 53rd $g Hammerheads will attack a $r NTF cargo depot.

Would appear as:

Quote from: Ingame

In this mission the 53rd Hammerheads will attack a NTF cargo depot.

do you realize you put a & in front of one of those words and $s in front of the others?
