Hi,

can you elaborate a bit on how I can use a color directly in the plugin's translation file?
I mean the \x03 and \x02 or \x01 values - what is each's exact color representation?

Thanks!

That depends on the game. For CS:GO:

\x03 is the team color for the given index argument in every game I have ever used SayText2.

Also, for games that support it (as far as I know, only OrangeBox games), you can also use colors from the colors module (or custom Color objects). Just str() them, and it returns the hex representation of the color:

Good to know, great. Thanks!
