Help How To Change Color Of Party Member's Nickname ?

[Ellone]

It's all in the title, is there a way to change the color of the nickname of the party members ?

 

[Solomun]

U can do it server side.

 

for(L2PcInstance p : player.getParty().getPartyMembers())

       p.setNameColor("#FF00FF");

 

Something like that i guess

[Ellone]

Thanks, that's nice to know. (It would be "#00FF00" for green though I think)

 

But It probably can be done client side, cant it ?

No. You can't add the name color by editing client side.

This is java side.

 

Also, you'll need to check the player on leave party. (Return the namecolor back to normal).

It would be a lot harder to edit game client, this would require messing in Engine.dll

 

It is easier to make it in server core. What Solomun suggested will not work well, it will make party color to be seen by all players, not only by party members. If you are not into java, it will be hard to be done.

 

You need to:

- Check how CharInfo gets color of the nickname, it should have different method than UserInfo and any other call.

- CharInfo should provide PcInstance that is about to receive the color.

- Returned value should be different than original, if players are party members.

This is the second way i would suggest but i thought it would be the same. I can see the difference now :)

 

But this would need to refresh userInfo when a new party is created, right?

[vampir]

No. When any user joins party, his UserInfo is sent to nearby players anyway. That broadcast is required to refresh relations.

couldnt it be done on PartyEnder/accept or how its called and then on leave?

Ok i got it...Its just that im rusted since i didnt touch l2 coding for 4 years :)

if (_activeChar.isInParty() == true)
        {
            afsd = _activeChar.getAppearance().getNameColor();
            _activeChar.getAppearance().setNameColor(_PartyColorName);
        }
        else if (_activeChar.isInParty() == false)
        {
            _activeChar.getAppearance().setNameColor(afsd);

        }

	private int _Color = 0xFFFF77;
	private int _PartyColorName = your color;
	
	activeChar.getAppearance().setNameColor(activeChar.isInParty() ? _PartyColorName : _Color);
