C++ color for players name in console at login

[Jpstafe]

I'm playing with colors in c++ and i want that if a player log in to the game it's name in console would be shown in green
i've made this

std::cout << name  << colorD(" has logged in.") << std::endl;

but can't get the color s be displayed in the player's name

Have you tried colorD(name)?

 

[Jpstafe]

fmt::color paintD = fmt::color(0x006500);
fmt::color paintA = fmt::color(0xFABC01);
std::string colorD(const std::string text)
{
    return fmt::format(fg(paintD), text);
}
std::string colorA(const std::string text)
{
    return fmt::format(fg(paintA), text);
}

i've tried this but it send number where name char should appear

            std::cout <<ColorD << name  << colorD(" has logged in.") << std::endl;
        }

this is working but is not displayer color at the name just where it says logged in.

    std::cout << name  << colorD(" has logged in.") << std::endl;

To use colorD with the name variable instead of the "has logged in" message, you can modify the std::cout statement as follows:

std::cout << colorD(name + " has logged in.") << std::endl;

This will concatenate the name variable with the "has logged in" message and apply the colorD formatting to the entire string. The resulting output will display the name with the desired color format followed by the "has logged in" message.

I'm interested in putting my source.. just change this line and compile or do you have to change something else?

You need to define the colors inside the file where you want the color to be displayed
Here's the example

fmt::color paintD = fmt::color(0x006500);
fmt::color paintA = fmt::color(0xFABC01);
std::string colorD(const std::string text)
{
    return fmt::format(fg(paintD), text);
}
std::string colorA(const std::string text)
{
    return fmt::format(fg(paintA), text);
}

Then you can use what Evil pubcker posted

std::cout << colorD(name + " has logged in.") << std::endl;

 

[Mateus Robeerto]

fmt::color paintD = fmt::color(0x006500); fmt::color paintA = fmt::color(0xFABC01); std::string colorD(const std::string text) { return fmt::format(fg(paintD), text); } std::string colorA(const std::string text) { return fmt::format(fg(paintA), text); }

Is this part in the source? where can i see? and the Evil Puncker who posted it. I changed and compiled and it gave an error

Thats outdated you have to cherry picks commits from TFS till it to be up dated

I dont think so, maybe u need add that before using the function colorA or colorD

ok then, i will update everything at once by the committs thanks

I dont think so, maybe u need add that before using the function colorA or colorD

I have to update the TFS first, then test this function, then I'll come back and give feedback

@Evil Puncker Where can I find these lines?
