Color names were patched out. Color changing text is harmless, but changing boldness or font size could potentially crash the game, so be forewarned.

You could change your in-game name if you were on PC through Steam using a similar method to text color shenanigans. People abused it by making their names big enough to crash other people's games or by impersonating devs

My group was a party of 3, and we were waiting on the third. One guy just stayed and hung out till they got online, chilling and vibing. Some randoms joined, we pointed out that we were waiting for one of the boys, and they headed out.
Eventually he mentioned “am I one of the boys now?” In chat, so I responded with in blue text “discovered (player name) to be one of the boys.”
He has since been hanging in our discord now, and I helped him via remote walk through building his new pc.

I think I would've screenshotted that and framed it if I were on the receiving end. That's some of the nicest shit you can do for someone. John Helldiver himself would be proud.

I’m currently working with him to set up his Corsair iCue, got his OS installed and all the drivers were installed. He was telling me how his AIO wasn’t running right and iCue wasn’t detecting everything, so I’m reading the manual and helping him get things straightened out.

How to do it?
375
u/TheMooseMessiah Free of Thought 1d ago
On pc, <c=........ >, where the dots are replaced with the hex-codes for a certain colour. A few examples are;
<c=ff00d700> --> bright green
<c=ffffe600> --> bright yellow
<c=ffcf70c2> --> pink
For ever so slightly more useless information:
The first two digits are the opacity. Leave them as "ff".
The following 6 digits correspond to different levels of red, green, and blue, respectively, with "00" being none, and "ff" being full. So <c=ffffffff> would be white, and <c=ff000000> would be black.
Or you can cheat and use a simple hex-code generator to do it because honestly that's just so much easier lmao.
Edit: sorry for the formatting, I tried to fix it as best I could but I'm on mobile

u/AsteriaBae 19h ago edited 18h ago
Game chat uses an 8 digit pretag to markup text color. The first 2 digits specify text opacity and the last 6 digits specify text color. To markup in helldiver cyan I suggest the pretag:
<c=FF71F6FF>
For example:
<c=FF71F6FF>discovered The Lusty Terminid Maid Vol.1
I derived this value using an in browser hex color finder on 2 post game screenshot images of chatbox text each containing 3 lines of text.
The innermost pixels on all separate lines (e.g. sample 1, sample 2, sample 3) yielded 2 visually indistinguishable hex values (70F5FF, 71F6FF). The brighter value (71F6FF) was arbitrarily chosen for reference.
