Changing colors and setting up your tag

To change the color of any character you have to put a ^ followed by a hex code before that character

If you don't know how to find a hex code here's some steps to show you how to make a blue A

1. Open up http://www.colorpicker.com/

2. Find a shade of blue you like using the sliders. For this example we are going to go with pure blue, or 0000FF.

3. Copy the code at the top next to the # but do not include the #.

4. Type ^ then paste the code you copied right after.

5. Type "a" without quotes directly after the previous step.

6. In console this would look like "sm_ccname ^0000FFa"

7. If every thing is done correctly in game your name will look like this - a

A full example of this would be ^FFFFFF[^00E1FFPro^FFFFFF] ^009900Highquality

This would look like [Pro] Highquality in game

 

A quick example of changing your text color would be "sm_ccmsg ^FFFFFF" This would make anything you type appear white

 

Gradients

Setting up a gradient is a little bit more complicated and takes a bit more time

Here some steps to show you how to do "bhopper" in full green to full blue

 

1. Open up http://www.perbang.dk/rgbgradient/

2. Locate "RGB HEX value color 1" 

3. Type in the code for full green or 00FF00

4. Locate "RGB HEX value color 2"

5. Type in the code for full blue or 0000FF

6. Count the number of letters in bhopper (7) and put that number under "Steps (3-64)"

7. Click the "Make gradient" button

8. After this it should have a hex code for each letter of bhopper

9. Copy the hex code for each letter and set it up just like before

After you have done all this the command would look like

"sm_ccname ^00FF00b^00D42Ah^00AA55o^007F7Fp^0055AAp^002AD4e^0000FFr" in console

Your name would look like bhopper

Other useful commands

{name} will be replaced with your steam name ("^0000FF{name}" would be your steam name in full blue)

{team} will be replaced with your team color

{rand} will be replaced with a random color

{norm} will be replaced with normal chat-yellow color
