I know how to edit the name, butm what I would like to do is to know how to make the color of the units nameappear like, Marine. Is that possble in melee? If so, can you tell me the proper strings? Also, TBLPad is to just change the strings right?
You can do that without modding using something like X-tra and putting in color tags.
Well, I meat in a non-UMS game. I know you can do that in a UMS game, but I want to know if it is possible to MOD colors into a regular game. (non-UMS)
Just make the melee map an observer only map. That way it forces people to play it in UMS and the names show up like that.
Yes, TBLPad is only for strings, yes you can color it. See the key in the bottom right corner? The numbers in angle brackets are color codes, for example if you put in <0> that would be invisible color tag and <3> makes it yellow like the hotkey highlight.
Here is what you are looking for (and what DT_BK is talking about)
CODE
<0> = End Substring
Menu Screen Colors
<1> = Light Blue <2> = Light Blue
<3> = Dark Green <4> = Light Green
<5> = Grey* <6> = White
<7> = Red <8> = Invisible*
In-game Colors
<1> = Light Blue <2> = Light Blue
<3> = Yellow <4> = White
<5> = Grey* <6> = Red
<7> = Green <8> = Invisible*
<60> = < <62> = >
*Starcraft will ignore all color tags after this.
Thanks Farty, I am glad you posted that. That was exactly what I was looking for.
