Chat colours

Presets, gradients, rainbow, sequence and random colours, named and hex colours, styles, group defaults and effects.

Module: colours. A player gives their own words a colour with /chatcolor or its window.

Presets

Preset	Pattern	Colours	Node default
`white`	solid	`#FFFFFF`	everyone
`sky`	solid	`#48CAE4`	everyone

Each preset needs uxmchat.colour.preset.<id>, or the permission it names.

Pattern	Draws
`solid`	One colour
`gradient`	A blend across the line
`rainbow`	Every hue
`sequence`	The colours letter by letter in turn
`random`	A colour per letter

Named and hex colours

With uxmchat.colour.named, a player may pick any colour under named: rose, peach, butter, mint, sky, corn, lilac. With uxmchat.colour.hex, any #rrggbb: /chatcolor set #FF8800.

Styles

/chatcolor style <style> turns a style on or off over the colour: bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, obfuscated, each with uxmchat.colour.style.<name>, all given to operators only.

Group defaults

group-defaults gives the players of a permission group a preset until they pick one: vip = "sunset".

When a colour is lost

The choice is checked at join. A player who no longer holds the preset, or whose preset is gone, loses it, and the lapsed effect runs.

Effects

Moment	Shipped lines
`set`	`[message] @colour.set` (with `<sample>`, the player's name in the new colour), a chime
`cleared`	`[message] @colour.cleared`, a break sound
`lapsed`	`[message] @colour.lapsed`

Leave a list out to keep the shipped one; write [] for silence.

Moving from uxm-chat-color

Its presets and every player's choice are read on the first start. See Migration.
