How to colour my name in quake, with all the shadows blinkings and etc. what number is what colour exactly?, i know that ^+number = a colour and ^+b = blinking, more?
thanks for the answers.

How can I change my name color?

When typing your name into the console, enter a caret: ^ (by holding down the SHIFT key, and pressing number 6 on the top row) and then a number between 1 and 7. The caret will disappear, and now all the text you type will be in a different colour. You can switch colors as often as you like. When you press return, the name is saved into your Quake 3 config so u only have to type it once.

The color codes are as follows
^1 = Red
^2 = Green
^3 = Yellow
^4 = Blue
^5 = Light Blue
^6 = Magenta
^7 = White

The same color codes can also be used to color chat text

How can I make my text blink or fade?

These are features of OSP. OSP knows an additional number of ^ controls next to the standard colors. Here's a list of the OSP controls:

^B or ^b = this makes your text blink
^F = only makes the text visible the 1st half of a second
^f = only makes the text visible the 2nd half of a second
^X[rrggbb] = Gives the text a colored shadow. Replace [rrggbb] with the hex value of the desired color. Example: ^XFF0000 is red and ^X777777 is some kind of grey.
^N = This resets all the ^ controls, making the text behind it look like normal again

shouldve looked yourself though in the stickied beginners guide

sorry that i didn't and really thanks for help :>

np

how do I know the Hex index of a color?

Thank you.

Looks like the FAQ is missing how to color both the face and the shadow of your name is osp (FAQ shows only shadow)

You need to do ^xNNNNNN^XNNNNNN twice, then one will be shadow and one will be face, I cant remember which is which.

Thank you that is exactly wat i needed

Actually is like ^xff0000^n^x0000ffname (this will make a red font with a blue shadow)

good job and thanx.
