just looked again, maybe you guys should think about stickying your FAQ on top of the forums so people can get to it. thanks for the help again!
Ya we had a separate sticky for the FAQ. But apparently SOE wants fewer stickies so our correspondent made the one sticky with all the links to useful threads inside it. He's going to rename the title of that thread when he gets a chance to say explicitly that the FAQ and guides are inside.
for example i've seen house's named:
*********
Dant Mall
*********
Q-6.1: How do I add color to my sign?
A-6.1: For a full explanation of hex code colors see this thread:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=architect&message.id=46317
Color is added by hex code. This is a six digit code with numbers from 0-F. The command is \#000000 where the first two digits represent red the second two green and the last set blue. I have found that the lower the number the darker the color.
Q-6.2: How do I make a multi-lined sign?
A-6.2: Muli-lined signs are easy to make after the first time. First if you haven't already done so, you have to set your cut and paste keys. This is done through the option menu (ctrl+o). Next chose the Controls tab on the left followed by keymap on the bottom. Next select the chat tab. Here is the fun part scroll down about halfway and look for Chat Edit Cut, Chat Edit Copy, and Chat Edit Paste. You have to assign keyvalues to these. I used numberpad 7, 8, and 9. After you set the keys apply the settings and close all the windows. Ok now open your email and create a new letter. In the body type the text for your sign with as many lines as you want. Hilight all the text and copy it (with those keys you just set) and paste it into the sign interface.
Q-6.3: Can I combine multipule lines and color in a sign?
A-6.3: Yes. However this is harder to do. First alt+Tab out of SWG and open wordpad. Now enter each lign of text after its color code. Example... \#000088Kaadu Valley Plaza \#880000Houses, \#008800Harvs, \#888800And Furniture This is the coding for the architect tent sign. To see what it looks like visit the Kaadu Valley Plaza. Ok, after you type the code copy it (ctrl+c) and reenter SWG (by clicking the tap on you start bar). Now open your sign interface and paste the text in. If you dont have your paste key set see 6.2 above.
