TNTX32 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Just read the punctuation trick thread. Do exactly same. Seek for your sentence to colore. Then, put the following behind the word to colore: (COMPLETE LIST OF COLORS) ~r~ = Red ~g~ = Green ~y~ = Yellow ~b~ = Blue ~i~ = Light Green ~p~ = Dark Purple ~l~ = Black ~w~ = White (Lol) (MISC) (This is MISC, MISC, MIIISC!!! So don't say that "omg lol this not useful at all!! " ) ~h~ = Highlight [MENU2P] = 2 Player Missions Text spotted by Sniputer BTW, You can also put some GXT things to show up player's controls. Some people thinks everyone moves using W but I use Z! Hehe! Now, like in the introduction by Sniputer I want the player to see his key. So I'll do: To move forward, hold down ~k~~GO_FORWARD~. Ok! LIST of USEFUL PLAYERS CONTROLS GXT SYNTAX (in progress, may be empty): PLAYER ON FOOT ~k~~PED_FIREWEAPON~ (Key to fire) ~k~~PED_CYCLEWEAPON_RIGHT~ (Key to next wep/target) ~k~~PED_CYCLEWEAPON_LEFT~ (Key to prev wep/target) ~k~~GROUP_CONTROL_FWD~ (Key to recruit gang/gang forward) ~k~~GROUP_CONTROL_BWD~ (Key to tell gang to stop. Or un-recruit?) ~k~~GO_BACK~ (Backward) ~k~~GO_FORWARD~ (Forward) ~k~~GO_LEFT~ (Move right) ~k~~GO_RIGHT~ (Move left) ~k~~VEHICLE_ENTER_EXIT~ (Enter a vehicle, or leave it) ~k~~CAMERA_CHANGE_VIEW_ALL_SITUATIONS~ (Change the view) ~k~~PED_JUMPING~ (Jump) ~k~~PED_SPRINT~ (Sprint) ~k~~PED_LOCK_TARGET~ (Aim) ~k~~PED_DUCK~ (Crouch) ~k~~PED_ANSWER_PHONE~ (Action, useless now, will in 5.0 the phone objective will be avaliable?) ~k~~SNEAK_ABOUT~ (Sneak. Walk, in other terms.) ~k~~PED_LOOKBEHIND~ (Look behind). If you still dont understand, it mean when i open the dyom mission in notepad++, I'll can add things like ~k~~GO_FORWARD~ in a sentence which is "To move forward press X". I'll just change X by ~k~~GO_FORWARD~ and here the things are done I'll do the list of [Player in Car] later Want colors and punctuation in your mission? Then give this a try! BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE .DAT, AND DO NOT REMOVE ANY NUL/BS/SI/SWEETANDRYDERAREHAVINGSEXATTHEPARK and all the other weird characters!. (DO IT In Notepad++) This is important. If you don't do it then you risk to lose your mission! Edited April 6, 2009 by TNTX32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniputer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 So you have an objective like "Drive to Downtown." and then you can make it look like "Drive to Downtown."? WOHOO, DYOM HERE WE COME BABY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickW Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You don't need to do that with the "punctuation trick". ~ is an exception and can be entered bij pressing <shift> + ` (On our dutch keyboards that's the location of the ~ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniputer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 TNTX32 and Sniputer = masters of Notepad++ ? Other people won't understand 'bout that ++ out there... Researching the SCM and GXT is fun... E: PatrickW, what are you tryin' to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTX32 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Edit: I think I'll make a Video Tutorial, for Punctuation & Color. When I'll have the time (There's a lot of chances for that I make it Wednesday). PatrickW > Why do you generalize only German Keyboards? Mine is bought from France, and I personally have problem with the tilde. (Press 2 twice, quickly and two tilde (~) will appear, remove one). BTW, aren't you from Nederlands?

Dutchy3010 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 German? Patrick didn't say anything about Germany of German keyboards. He said Dutch... We don't generalize, he said where the key was on the Dutch keyboards... DYOM - Create, play, share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickW Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was trying to say that you can type an ~ while inserting text, by pressing <shift> + ` And this might for some people seem like a strange combo to type a ~, but on our dutch keyboards that's were the ~ is located.

Sniputer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 In normal computers isn't CTRL + ALT + ^ the right one? I mean these normal American and European.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTX32 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 German? Patrick didn't say anything about Germany of German keyboards. He said Dutch... And what's the difference between Dutch/Deustch/German ? Edit: No, I seem to have a French Keyboard. On French Keyboards, it's Ctrl + Alt + é. Or Alt Gr + é (but after all, they're both same, people are doing this for the lulz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickW Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) It turns out that it isn't even the "Dutch layout" (which hardly anybody uses), but the "US-international", which most dutch people use. More about keyboard layouts: wikipedia Dutch -> The Netherlands/Holland/Nederland German -> Germany/Deutschland Two different countries. If you want to really offend a dutchman, you have to say that he's a german. Edited April 6, 2009 by PatrickW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks myself to test it Example: This is the greenglass college. Kill him. I want greenglass college in red, and him in green. So I do: This is the ~r~greenglass ~r~college. Kill ~g~ him. Ok.

Sniputer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, it might be alot easier to have all these punctuation things on a topic...

TNTX32 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 AH YES! I know this bug In my mission I placed the checkpoints (like a normal mission!!!) and the actors. And then, when I play it I see all the checkpoints and actors, like I didnt used the hide-spawn from the beginning. And then, when I close SA, and relaunch it, or when I reload the mission, it disappears! When this happens remember to reload/close SA and relaunch aigain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniputer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Thanks for saying Sniputer in that topic, lol. BTW, if I want to open GXT Editor, I will look for some other sh*t. ~k~~VEHICLE_HANDBRAKE~ = Handbrake / R* style: Back brake LOL?! :F ~k~~VEHICLE_ENTER_EXIT~ = Enter / Exit ~k~~VEHICLE_BRAKE~ = Brake / Reverse ~k~~VEHICLE_ACCELERATE~ = Accelerate ~k~~VEHICLE_TURRETUP~ = Winch Up / check Robbing Uncle Sam ~k~~VEHICLE_TURRETDOWN~ = Winch Down / check Robbing Uncle Sam ~k~~TOGGLE_SUBMISSIONS~ = Vigilante, Paramedic, Firefighter, Burglary, Pimping, Trainmission / mission trigger More to come. Although understanding GXT codes like that is not "LIKE A GLOVE!" Edited April 6, 2009 by Sniputer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTX32 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes, GXT Editor is the best. ALSO: To know how to make a special charac' with GXT-Editor such as é or ù, just write it on a copy of american.gxt, and then: Open up american.gxt with notepad++, and seek for your sentence that you added the é ù. You will see é ù in weird things such as -01-££-ù1 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniputer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Add the info on my post to the first post. That info took me 'bout 3 minutes...

PatrickW Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 These are just specific formatings for a particular type of info used by rockstar in their texts.
