How to get other colors than the normal ones.

[epik666]

So i was wondering how to use other colors than the on listed in the "TextFormatting" file. 
Example : 

mc.fontRenderer.drawStringWithShadow(Mod.MODNAME + " " + TextFormating.GREEN + Mod.MODVER,1,1,Mod.MYHEXCOLOR);

How would i go on using brown as example?

I use the following class to get colors outside the predefined ones, it should be able to fit your case I belive.

To understand how it works, it is simply that RGBA colors are encoded in a single integer, where each set of 2 bytes store a single color.

2 bytes can encode the values 0-255.Which is the reason that RGB is defined in that range.
 

public class GuiHelper {
    private GuiHelper() {

    }

    public static int RGBAToInt(int R, int G, int B, int A) {
        // Make sure the values are between 0 and 255
        R &= 255;
        G &= 255;
        B &= 255;
        A &= 255;

        // Convert
        return A << 24 | R << 16 | G << 8 | B;
    }

    public static int RGBAToInt(int RGB, int A) {
        return RGBAToInt(RGB, RGB, RGB, A);
    }

    public static int RGBAToInt(int RGB) {
        return RGBAToInt(RGB, RGB, RGB, 255);
    }

    public static int RGBAToInt(int R, int G, int B) {
        return RGBAToInt(R, G, B, 255);
    }

}

The last argument for FontRenderer#drawString is the color as an integer.

 

So for example:

fontRenderer.drawString("My string to draw in RED", stringPosX, stringPosY, GuiHelper.RGBAToInt(255, 0, 0));

 

Same applies for FontRenderer#drawStringWithShadow

Thanks, it seems like it does not work outside fontrenders. Im trying to use it in something else and i can't seem to figure out how to do it.
