FTEQCC and bronzing characters .. how? [/b ?]

[Baker]

Does FTEQCC support bronzing characters like FrikQCC by doing:

sprint(self, "This is /bBronzed/b text\n");

It may be either \b or /b in FrikQCC, I can't remember offhand.

Anyway, does FTEQCC support the FrikQCC method and if not is there some other way that works?

[Error]

trial and error works

and yes I believe it's the same as frikqcc

It may be either \b or /b in FrikQCC, I can't remember offhand.

FrikQcc uses \b if I remember correctly

[ceriux]

what is bronzing characters?

[MeTcHsteekle]

makes letters bronze, like how the talk text looks

[Spike]

or was it \s

eesh

[FrikaC]

It's \b in FrikQCC and QCCX. And Spike, that's not the \{001} or \{002} chat character, it changes the parser to set the high bit on the following characters.

[Spike]

Yeah, I know.
Fair enough, I guess I already had \s in fteqcc when I noticed frikqcc did the same thing for \b, so yeah, use \b for either qcc.
And basically just ignore the whole \s thing.

Yes, FTEQCC supports the QCCX/FrikQCC \b feature to bronze a string constant.
Adding a \b character in a string constant will do nothing itself, but cause all trailing characters (until a second \b) to be bronzed, as you described.
It is a backslash, which is consistant with C string markup.
(Although in C, \b is 'bell', and makes a noise instead of being printed, but mneh).
Note that this \b markup thing does not affect strcat/ceterprintX usage. Because that would quite frankly be magical. So stop being silly and moaning that it doesn't work, it never will do so stop moaning.

Additionally:
\0 ... \9 can be used to generate alternate numbers. \b\0\b can be used to get at the fourth range of numbers... Which I think are exactly the same as one of the others anyway, so mneh.

Additionally:
\xff is stripped out of strings by some quakeworld clients and not others. This is a fun character to use as the only character in your name. It can also terminate strings prematurely in some other engines. Use with caution, or humour.

\bFBX\b.botname will bronze only the clantag.

t\b3\brror will bronze just the 3.
