Hi, I can't seem to send a translated chat component to a client that has any formatting such as color or italics. I can send the translated chat message, but I can't apply a color like Aqua to it. I've tried doing things like putting the color format code directly into the lang file itself but that doesn't work. I can't find anything through google that would help me, but all that I could find that was relevant was this (http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=25566.0), but that info is either outdated or just plain doesn't work.

 

 

Relevant code:

((EntityPlayer) entity).addChatComponentMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation("event.slimerain.end"))

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Have you tried EnumChatFormatting? You said you needed color / italics / bold right? Look at this:

((EntityPlayer) entity).addChatComponentMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation(EnumChatFormatting.RED + "event.slimerain.end")) *May not be 100% accurate code*

When I try that, it just spits out event.slimerain.end, but in red/italics/whatever.

it spits out event.slimerain.end because if you don't have a .lang file that contains (event.slimerain.end=Whatever the translation is) dont add the brackets, it wont translate it, plus for it to use what is in the lang file you add new ChatComponentTranslation(EnumChatFormatting.RED + I18n.format("event.slimerain.end");

I know about lang files and all that, but I didn't know about I18n.format(), which seemed to solve my problem. Thanks!

Oh crud, thanks! Good thing I checked back on here.

Hey Guys,

 

i have a problem.

 

I cant cast chatstyle to chatcomponent

 

sender.addChatMessage(new ChatComponentTranslation("commands.troll.success.sender", args[0], args[1]).getChatStyle().setColor(EnumChatFormatting.RED));

[/Code]

 

What is wrong or how to fix it?

 

P.S. my english is not the best German
