[Solved] [1.8] EnumChatFormatting bold not working in GUIs

[Azias]

Hello,

 

I have a problem, I'm making a GUI with text and text formatting, but the bold doesn't work.

In 1.7 it worked perfectly, even in buttons.

 

How it works:

1. I get a string like : "&xbUpdate 1.2#*&xiAdded Keyboard Controls#*?#&c*Added More Options" (the "#" is used later to separate lines into an array)

2. After that, I replace the "&xb"/"ξ" with "EnumChatFormatting.xxx.toString() with:

text = text.replaceAll("&xb", EnumChatFormatting.BOLD.toString());

 

And for the button, it works with every text formatting except the bold too:

this.buttonList.add(buttonRight = new GuiButton(4, (width - newsPaneWidth) / 2 + 74 + 32, (height-30) / 2 + 74, 25, 20, bold + ">"));

Note 1: The code looks ugly, because I wrote the base when I started learning Java.

Note 2: The text in bold has more space between characters.

 

Thanks for your help.

My question is, why don't you just send the formatting codes from the server directly (e.g. §l for bold, see the list on the Minecraft Wiki)?

It's because when I made it in 2013 I was bad at codding and found it easier to do it that way, and I never thought about changing it because it was working.

But I'm planning on using them.

Now is the time!

I will change it

I tested, and it works perfectly except for the bold.

 

Thank you for suggesting the change.

I just did some tests and I cannot get bold text to render at all either. Not sure what that's about.

It might be a bug in the game.

I will put the thread as solved and I will check for another update.
