THANK YOU! That is a perfect example! Thank you very much!

Thank You! This is a proper example and explanation. Is there a way to slip costume change animations in there too?😄

THANK YOU! That is an example I can work with. Just an FYI though, this changed the chat bubble but no the costume. But it's a starting point! Thanks again! Update: I got it to work, even with the costume change animation, and it changet the word bubble. However, it may have also crushed my dreams. With this bind I still have to use the arrow key to move my cursor all the way to the right of the text to type my message, which is what I was trying to avoid. But, this gets me way closer to my goal! Thank you!

Do you know where I can find a guide to these 's2c colors'? And maybe the full line of the /bind so I can see how it is formatted?

Can you show me the bind you used to do that?

Wait? I'm not binding a 'Single Key'. I'm binding key combinations. When I say "SHIFT+NUMPAD0" I mean that I hold down SHIFT and then press NUMPAD0. If you are using a single key you'd normally only assign one command to it. That being said, I do remember that there was a way to program single key Toggles..? I'm not sure if the Devs at Homecoming decided to keep that feature or not? I'm not suggesting that I want ENTER "show chat$$startchat" to do two things. I just want it to automatically set the colors of the chat bubble without me having to change them manually. Once I know how to do that I can then create [what ever key]+ENTER "show chat$$startchat" to display different colors. Does that clear it up?

<shrug> All I can say is that /bind SHIFT+NUMPAD0 and the like, work for me every time. I don't alter the mouse commands at all.

You are missing the mark by 1000%. Changing costumes isn't the issue. Getting this: "ENTER "show chat$$startchat"" to automatically assign the background and text color of the chat bubble is the issue. I can do the whole bind file thingie in my sleep, I've just never tried to do this particular thing before. Tricking out my NUMPAD for my mastermind got me comfortable with that. I just want hit SHIFT+ENTER and start a chat in a particular color. P.S. Also, binding multiple commands to the same root key (Example: NUMPAD0, SHIFT+NUMPAD0, CTRL+NUMPAD0, and, ALT+NUMPAD0) doesn't cause problems unless you are making a mistake when setting it up. The following is the binds for my NUMPAD on my Mastermind. NUMPAD0 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;Engage Primary Power Armor. $$ cce 5 ccpureenergy" CTRL+NUMPAD0 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;Disguise program one. $$ cce 2 cclightmagic" SHIFT+NUMPAD0 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;Engage Assault Armor. $$ cce 0 ccpureenergy" ALT+NUMPAD0 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;Disguise program two. $$ cce 1 cclightmagic" NUMPAD1 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;Hello, I'm $name. $$ Emote wave" CTRL+NUMPAD1 "Emote smartphone" SHIFT+NUMPAD1 "emote text" ALT+NUMPAD1 "emote salute" NUMPAD2 "emote flashlight" NUMPAD3 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;You're welcome, Random Citizen. $$ emote yourewelcome" CTRL+NUMPAD3 "emote listenpoliceband" SHIFT+NUMPAD3 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;You're welcome, $target. $$ emote yourewelcome" ALT+NUMPAD3 "Local &lt;color #00ff00&gt;&lt;bgcolor #006f00&gt;WHAT the F was THAT?! $$ emote frustrated" NUMPAD4 "petcom_all aggressive" CTRL+NUMPAD4 "powexec_name Battle Drones" NUMPAD5 "petcom_all defensive" CTRL+NUMPAD5 "powexec_name Protector Bots" NUMPAD6 "petcom_all passive" CTRL+NUMPAD6 "powexec_name Assault Bot" NUMPAD7 "petcom_all attack" CTRL+NUMPAD7 "powexec_name Deflection Shield" ALT+NUMPAD7 "powexec_name Dispersion Bubble" NUMPAD8 "petcom_all follow" CTRL+NUMPAD8 "powexec_name Insulation Shield" ALT+NUMPAD8 "powexec_name Detention Field" NUMPAD9 "petcom_all goto" CTRL+NUMPAD9 "powexec_name Equip Robot" ALT+NUMPAD9 "powexec_name Repair" It all works like a charm. You just need to know what does what and after entering all of that, you'll have it memorized.

I re-bind the NUMPAD0 and have a costume triggered by each bind (NUMPAD0, SHIFT+NUMPAD0, CTRL+NUMPAD0, and, ALT+NUMPAD0). In this case I have three costumes and I want the word bubble to match each one. What I'm looking for is how to edit this command* (to two individual keybinds) to make it automatically set the colors of the chat bubble. I have the default manually set to Costume 1. Costumes 2 and 3 need their own keybinds. *ENTER "show chat$$startchat"

I do but, the character in question has three different costumes with very different color combos and I want the chat bubble to reflect those color themes. The goal is to not have to manually reset the chat bubble colors manually every.single.time. It's kind of like having three characters in one. Each costume sort of has its own personality.

I would like to add colors to the following bind but I'm not sure how. I'm pretty good with the use of /bind commands and setting up the text files for characters but, the one thing I can't figure out is how to add colors to this line of the binds: ENTER "show chat$$startchat" My goal is to have it bound to SHIFT (/bind SHIFT+ENTER) and Control (/bind CTRL+ENTER) with each set with a different set of colors, one for each costume. I can do it with a line like this: /bind NUMPAD7 "local <bgcolor Yellow><color black>Hello, I am $name. $$ emote wave" But when you do it that way you need to arrow all the way to the right, past the code, and then type what you want to say. This slows down your response time in conversations and is just kind of annoying. I'd like to be able to "start chat" with the colors already set so I can just type what I want my character to say and hit Enter again to say it. Any advice or guidance would be GREAT. Thank you all in advance. 🙂

Yeah, I found that and now I feel a little dumb for asking. Thanks! 🙂

Is there a way to change a character's name? I thought, and I may be wrong, back when the game was first out there was a service one could buy (in game or as a service on the client's website), a token or some such, for altering the character's name. Thanks in advance and it's feeling pretty good to be home! -Casey/@MicroTron

It does, but I was able to piece it together with the help of an IRL friend. For those of you still trying to get a handle on this, if you are using windows10 here is what the bind would look like: /bind lctrl+g bind_load_file "C:/users/administrator/documents/yourcdharacternamehere.txt" You can bind this to any key you like (I used lctrl+g for my test) and you can use the standard keybinds list (found in the 'Documents') to make a copy and edit it to your likeing. Then slap a character name on it and save it in that same Documents file. BOOM! You can do this with each character so that they can have their own specialty binds. YAY! -c

Can you give me the EXACT TEXT of the "Save keybinds- left alt" and "Load keybinds- left alt+L" keybinds. I'm not a 'computers guy' and it's been 6+ years since I last fiddled with all of this. You'd be my favorite person for quite a while. :D
