*Copying & Pasteing

Open your Options menu

Select Keymap (bottom on left),

Select Chat tab

Find and select "Chat Edit Copy"

Rebind {select Rebind, press button(s) you would like command mapped to}

Apply

Find and select "Chat Edit Paste"

Rebind {select Rebind, press button(s) you would like command mapped to}

Apply

If given a message that this may interfere with another command,
either continue and then Rebind the overwritten command,
or choose a new binding for current choices.

You can now copy from any 'active' text in game and paste into emails, chat, /note, macros.
This is attached to your Windows Clipboard, so you can also copy text out side of the game, then paste it while playing,
or copy it into your 'notes' {which is found in your login profile folder contained in the SWG directory} and access ingame via /note.

*Less Linear Labels

Open up a new email {or use /no}

Type in your sign, label, or title as you would like it to appear.

Have a nice day! May become:

Have
a
nice
day!

Select text by highlighting with mouse.

Hit Copy key(s)

Place cursor in labeling box (for item or house or whatever)

Hit Paste key(s)

If you receive a "windows clipboard was null"
you either did not bind keys correctly or use the correct keys to copy.

Check your sign or wait for product to be done to see if typing is correct.

*General Color

Color may be applied to structure names, bags/backpacks, basic text, and certain chat.
Basic text includes Emails, descriptions area, bio, and /note.
Chat that may be colored includes auction, vendor barking, AFK reply, reply, guild.
Basically everything except spoken chat like yell, say, and shout.

To add color you will need to type \# before the #'s that match the color you want,
just before the word(s) you want that color.

Just press \ once! It and the #'s may disappear if done correctly,
though not always depending what you are naming.

Here are some basic colors.
Type \# and the corresponding #'s before your words you want colorized.
Remember to use the white code if wanting to return to normal looking text.

\#660000 \#990000 \#FF0000 REDS

\#993300 \#996600 \#FF6600 ORANGES

\#666600 \#999900 \#FFFF00 YELLOWS

\#006600 \#009900 \#00FF00 GREENS

\#000066 \#000099 \#0000FF BLUES

\#660066 \#990099 \#FF00FF PURPLES

\#000000 \#666666 \#FFFFFF MONOCHROMES

{ei: \#00ff00EXAMPLE will give you this: EXAMPLE }

For highlighting colored text you may want to ENTER a few times down past your last typed line.
Then begin highlighting from the bottom of the empty lines you just created.
This will allow you to highlight the \ & #s at the beginning of the lines easier.

For chat, place a period (or anything really) before the \ or you will speak the #'s instead of haveing colored chat.

It may take some practice to highlight correctly, and even more to adjust everything to the look you want.
Above all play with it and try out all you can.

If you would like a ingame email of this to reference to, post your SERVER & INGAME NAME

I use THIS

works great for coloring Siggies at least, type the words, copy the HTML, paste it asign fonts and spaceing.

Do not use it for signs though as we have a very very limited space ingame

OH BEFORE I FORGET!

Signs ingame are now seen in as if boxed in

The veiwers text size option will limit what is seen thru this box.

Most will see one or two lines fine

but if their text size is higher lines 3 and 4 may be cut out..

Have
a
Nice
Day

may be seen as

Have
a

I recommend usein two lines at max if you care what others see, if you dont care then line em up!

Anyone know how to make them visiable without having to click on the sign itself? That hasn't been working for me for awhile... wasn't sure if it had been taken care of or not. (Well, I've got a pretty good idea that it's not.

)

I use the following as it does not overwrite any command used by game;

Ctrl-Alt-C for copy

Ctrl-Alt-V for paste

I use Del and Enter on numpad,
as a Tailor who labels my clothing it makes it simple one hit with my mouse thumb work.

ButI am also someone who cleared binding for all commands,
then went thru and keymapped only the ones I use {all to right side and fkeys}

For some reason I can't get copy and paste to work ingame. I've rebinded it so copy is the keypad del button and keypad enter is the paste button. Yet it still won't copy and paste. If I copy some text in windows it still won't paste in SWG?

Whats up? Any ideas?

And how do you get your sign to go onto multiple lines?

EDIT-

OK copy and paste now seem to be working. I'm trying to get it be like this

\#ff0066----------------

\#33ccffLife N Soul

\#ff0066----------------

yet when trying to do that in /no (notepad), its goes all funny. Plus the sign name entering box seems to chop off some of the -'s. If I go and try and enter the colour numbers above it wipes the Life N Soul out.

In game name is StevieB-UK- and Alt is Sammyboy, on Gorath. If anyone could send me an email ingame on how to get this sign setup as above that would be great thanks. I want the Life N Soul just in the center on the -'s

Ok signs self center and you must begin highlighting well under the last line you typed to get the color code on the first line and the text on last line to be copied.

Looking at your text it itself isfine, just remeber to 'enter' a few lines down and start highlighting it from the end backwards to the beginning...

\#ff0066----------------
\#33ccffLife N Soul
\#ff0066----------------

X <~~start highlighting here

let me know if you have any more probs {if this does not fix it} just PM me
