OK. THis is my first post, so I will make it short.
I made afew Tower defenses miself for starcraft. org, but unfortunately I did not manage to make colored text(RED GREEN, ETC.), even with SCXE.
Does anyone know how I can change the color of my text with SCXE?

when you enter the unit states, at the right side under the 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons you see those marks with colors written near them, copy them and put before your text to make it appear at that color.
if you put gray or invisible everything after it will be gray/invisible too.

Hey, welcome to WBs. I'm happy you found the right section, but next time please be more descriptive with your title, eg: Colored Text Problems

Happy mapping, and hopefully we'll see ya around.

Aww comeon descriptive title?

Hardly any members manage to get to the right forum, you should be happy with that. Besides he/she is asking for help, what is wrong with that title?

You could also mouse-over the thread if you want more description without actually clicking the link...

Anyways... I have not yet figured out the point to invisible text... and I dont think I ever will....Maybe invisible text is just there so the mapper can say what he (sexist I know) really wants... or it was just put in with the rest of the *mindblank*.

Enjoy your stay viking!

Ditto. Its just... invisible... well... if you want blank Force names it works, but then again... you might be able to have blank force names by using the "backspace" feature. I don't remember. *shrugs*

Or for copyrights ;), if you want to annoy someone :)!

Wow, did not expect anyone to reply. Thanks. :) Unfotunatelly, the maps I want to post on Starcraft.org, will have to wait. They will be ready in about a month. Since I'm from Romania, and the local hour is 10 o'clock, 31 December I can't wait for the new year to arrive. I wonder what it holds. (Maybe more surprises from Starcraft) We'll see. :tup:
End of Transmision.

I believe the marks only appear in the SC Extra Editor, so you'll have to use that if you want colored text.

it's simple actually.
those color tags were created by blizzard, for example gray - they made it to cover all after it because when a bnet game starts they put it in the beggining of the force name and want all what's written in that force.
they used yellow for error and information messages.
white is for automessages such as 'building complete'.
blue is default.
green is for main page texts and saved game named & custome game choose, while light green is the hotkey.
invisible is probobly to cover texts when you click them like with gray...

I believe the marks only appear in the SC Extra Editor, so you'll have to use that if you want colored text.wrongo, they appear in any editor and you can create them in ech except the original staredit.
