Forum :: Client Editing :: Looking to change guild chat color.

Trying to change the color of guild chats because it current blends in with the background of my GUI. I've managed to change public chat and private message colors to silver but don't know the hex for guild chats.

Ideas?

Not a fan of using Sordie's addons for this.

How did you find the other chat colors? :P

Found a topic posted years ago here regarding those chat colors. Couldn't find guild through those though.

That crappy EOTextColour addon I quickly made for someone is also capable of dumping the address of every call to the WinAPI "SetTextColor" thus providing you with the address of everywhere the client sets a text colour if you'd like the addresses =P

Edit: Well, I'd have to unwind the caller stack frame but that's like a few lines of code to find the caller address =P

I'm fairly certain that Shayne will know.

Someone drag Shayne in here then, still can't find it out lol.

I can only give you a half answer. :(

This address sets the color of other guild members text, as well as the guild server messages text.
Search for the address 0042F2CF in OllyDbg, and replace the bytes after BA with your hex color.
Copy to Executable and Save File.

I have not been able to find any addresses that hold the black hex color.
They seem different then the addresses that hold white, or colored values.

Maybe Sordie knows how to individually find them.

Well that 'half answer' was a solution I certainly appreciate. Thank you. :-)

No worries, if I figure out how to change black text, specifically 'your guild message color' I'll let you know.

Here is a quick list of ^(probably)all calling addresses that have a unique caller/colour combo.

Thank you very much, I'll take a look at this later for sure!

For the record, the caller address is just a ** unwind of the base pointer register. This is standard for WinAPI "stdcall" methods. Here is the code:

function Caller(const Level: Integer): Pointer;
  function StackFrame(Level: Integer): Pointer;
  begin
    asm
      push ebp
      pop  Result
    end;
    while Level > 0 do
    begin
      move(Result^, Result, 4);
      dec(Level);
    end;
  end;
begin
  try
    move(Pointer(Cardinal(StackFrame(Level + 1)) + 4)^, Result, 4);
    {
      HorridHack: If dll's specify a non standard base address you could do
      something nasty like this: (assuming you could sleep at night you monster!)
    }
    //dec(Cardinal(Result), Cardinal(GetModuleHandle(nil)) + $1000);
  except
    Result := nil;
  end;
end;

I barely have assembly/programming knowledge, so I can't really do anything with your code, but I appreciate you posting it.
It will come in use in the future I'm sure.

Are there not any addresses that hold the actual hex colors you're talking about, like there is for the other addresses/colors?
If not, do you know exactly why that is?

I figured out a easy trick for finding most colors in the client including white, but I don't understand why it doesn't work for black.
Black text is the only thing I can't seem to find the actual color addresses for.
