Nick Colour

[||DIRTBAG||]

I was playing recently and noticed a player on the opposite team had changed their nick to display different colours.

Any idea how this is done and if it can effect your account?

|ccc| whatever_you_want_here

Will give you orange text. I do wonder if EA/DICE would remove this in the next patch, as it can be quite irratating when used in names.

Re: Nick Colour

put |ccc| where you want the orange to begin.
i hope they remove the orange function, i don't like it either.

this appears to be a common question so i'm making this a sticky.

Re: Nick Colour

When you say add |ccc|, where does this need to be added?
(I'm not all that up on this sort of thing)

Is it only orange that you can change the colour to?

Re: Nick Colour

it doesn't have to be |ccc|.

it can also be |cyphe or |cool| the key here is you MUST type |c and then followed by FOUR OTHER CHARACTERS.

so |c1234 will work also or |crush etc.

Re: Nick Colour

No, since you'd need to change your name.

Re: Nick Colour

The game itself uses |cxxx| to start the color code, and |cxxx| to finish it. For example, the next time you are invited to a squad, decline the invite, then hit the tilde key. In the console, look for the line with the text. You'll notice the color codes in it. Quite cool too.

Just make sure |cxxx|NOT|cxxx| to abuse it.

Re: Nick Colour

I will love when EA removes this in a patch -

Then everybodies name would have that ugly |ccc|, |cypho, etc. tag in front. =D
