Okay I have seen the thread before, and have been searching for 30 minutes now and have given up. How do you create a new line when naming your harvesters so they look like this:


Line 1

line 2


Rathe than end up looking like this:


line1 line 2


I got the colors down, but forgot how to do the new line thing and cant find the thread.


Thanks for any help!

*Copying & Pasteing


Open your Options menu
Go to the Control tab
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.
