Hey guys, was thinking that it would be much more manageable and cool to read the Honorbuddy textlog if it was colored. Example. Attacking Library Guardian at 12 yards Lightning Bolt Flame Shock: Instant Cast. Flame Shock Lava Burst Lightning Bolt Library Guardian dies [Whisper] [Name]: Hi, you in for raiding Ulduar tonight? Also it would be really nice to see whispers in the log. And /says? Daydreamer
The problem here is that all of those log entries are written in by the CC, so they are at the discretion of the CC creator. What would need to be added is the ability for the CC to write log entries in different colors.
easy enough to add color tags, but they wouldnt be on everything, and in Hb currently it would probally look something like this.

if someone has the code, drop me a PM, and ill try to add it in when im doing the Config Form Setting fix. nvm, think i got it.
You require: Code: using System.Drawing; Example code: Code: Logging.Write(Color.FromName("SlateBlue"), "Hello, I'm blue"); List of colours: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.knowncolor.aspx It's a pitty C# doesnt support Default Parameters, it would make updating 'slog' code very easy for developers.
this is how i did it, just modifyed my slog, and added more for each color then changed them when they apprered. Code: private void Rlog(string format, params object[] args) { Logging.Write(System.Drawing.Color.Red, format, args); //Logging.Write(Color ,format, args); } private void Glog(string format, params object[] args) { Logging.Write(System.Drawing.Color.Green, format, args); //Logging.Write(Color ,format, args); } private void Blog(string format, params object[] args) { Logging.Write(System.Drawing.Color.Blue, format, args); //Logging.Write(Color ,format, args); } private void slog(string format, params object[] args) { Logging.Write(System.Drawing.Color.DarkBlue, format, args); //Logging.Write(Color ,format, args); }
You guys make things so difficult. Actually, it does. But it requires .NET 4.0 being installed to do it. (And the HB/GB guys would need to make a minor code change to their compile stuff to use the 4.0 tools to compile instead of the 3.5 ones.) And no; I'm not saying you need to switch to .NET 4.0. I have 3.5 projects using default params, etc. It's just some new IL that the newer C# compiler adds to allow for the default params. (And selective param defs) Edit; not that default params would help in the above case anyway. (Pretty much everything in Color is created at runtime. So it won't be valid for default params.)
using System.Drawing + Color.<colorname> would be the shortest, but it doesn't really matter. Anyway, grats on the colors...
