[1.7.2] Problem with colored chat message

[SackCastellon]

The problem is the following:

 

I've created a code to display a chat message with a red color:

EnumChatFormatting.RED + ModInfo[0] + " (" + ModInfo[1] + ") is out of date! Please visit " + ModInfo[3] + " to get the latest version (" + ModInfo[2] +")";

 

But when i run minecraft i don't get the full message on red, only the first line:

Does anybody know why does it happens and how to solve it?

 

Thanks for helping.

What do you want the end result to be? When using EnumChatFormatting, whatever format you put will apply to the entire string unless you call EnumChatFormatting.RESET.

For example, if you do

par1EntityPlayer.addChatMessage(EnumChatFormatting.RED + "Red" + EnumChatFormatting.RESET + " White");

The Red will be colored red, and the white will be colored default.

 

Also, is that a clickable link?

His problem is that it isn't effecting the whole string, it's only effecting until a new-line.

*affecting, sorry, can't help it

 

I don't see why it wouldn't carry over from line to line.  In fact, it shouldn't, so your problem is in the link.

 

Also, I asked if it was a clickable link because I'm fairly confident the link would reset the chat formatting, so if you put EnumChatFormatting.RED after your link it should show everything but the link in red.

No that is not a clickable link (I don't know how to do it)

yes, it's the problem I have.  Do you know how to solve it?

No.  I haven't messed with chat formatting in chat strings, only addInformation() which doesn't support newlines.

Have you tried adding the method a few more times to reset it?

 

Try this for example:

 

EnumChatFormatting.RED + ModInfo[0] + " (" + ModInfo[1] + ") is out of date! Please visit " + EnumChatFormatting.RED + ModInfo[3] + " to get the " + EnumChatFormatting.RED + "latest version (" + ModInfo[2] +")";

 

I don't know if it would work, because I have never had this issue before...

worth a try

Yes, i already thought about that, and it works:

BUT, if i reduce the chat width:

THEN, happens this:

So, it's not solved at all.

I wonder if its a problem with 1.7.2's EnumChatFormatting (1.6.2 EnumChatFormatting works for me [tested too])

 

Have you tried using your own String Formatter?

 

Here try this for example:

public class StringHandler {
public static String dark_black = "\u00a70";
public static String dark_blue = "\u00a71";
public static String dark_green = "\u00a72";
public static String dark_cyan = "\u00a73";
public static String dark_red = "\u00a74";
public static String dark_purple = "\u00a75";
public static String dark_yellow = "\u00a76";
        public static String gray = "\u00a77";
public static String dark_gray = "\u00a78";
public static String blue = "\u00a79";
public static String green = "\u00a7A";
public static String cyan = "\u00a7B";
public static String red = "\u00a7C";
public static String purple = "\u00a7D";
public static String yellow = "\u00a7E";
        public static String white = "\u00a7F";
}

 

Now, to use it:

StringHandler.red + ModInfo[0] + " (" + ModInfo[1] + ") is out of date! Please visit " + ModInfo[3] + " to get the latest version (" + ModInfo[2] +")";

 

Good luck

I know this is a bit out of date, but in case anyone else wonders across this, I had to address this issue when adding a /reply command to private messages. While it may be a bit overkill, perhaps you could parse outgoing text through a custom method and split it at any spaces, and add your desired formatting before each word. In my scenario I had to iterate through the String[] 'parameters' and manually add spaces, so I also added the chat formatting, which fully addressed the issue. It generically could look something like this:

 

String s = "";
String[] m = message.split(" ");		
for(String t : m){
        s += formatString;
s += t;
s += " ";
}

 

...where message = the original message and formatString = the desired formatting and s = your new, completed message.

 

It feels overkill, but it works! Hope that helps.
