You might've noticed that some clans and characters have colourful descriptions.
This formatting is part of Stalcraft game, and is inherited from its Minecraft origins. It originally wasn't meant to be a full-fledged feature, but it got discovered by curious players and since then gained a fair amount popularity.
This formatting also is supported by StalcraftHQ (with one quirk - more on that below).
Formatting is triggered by using § character (click on it and then copy!), and then writing one more character to define colour. For example, following text:
... will appear like this, in-game and StalcraftHQ website:
Formatting in-game
Formatting on StalcraftHQ.com§0 - Black (#000000)
§1 - Dark Blue (#0000AA)
§2 - Green (#00AA00)
§3 - Teal (#00AAAA)
§4 - Blood Red (#AA0000)
§5 - Purple (#AA00AA)
§6 - Orange (#FFAA00)
§7 - Light Gray (#AAAAAA)
§8 - Dark Gray (#555555)
§9 - Blue (#5555FF)
§A - Light Green (#55FF55)
§B - Light Blue (#55FFFF)
§C - Red (#FF5555)
§D - Pink (#FF55FF)
§E - Yellow (#FFFF55)
§F - White (#FFFFFF)
§R - This resets formatting. For example §6Stalcraft§RClan => StalcraftClan
In character profile, you can press enter button to insert a new line. Unfortunately new lines are removed by Stalcraft for clans.
New lines reset formatting by default, so you need to apply formatting tag on each line.
There's also a bug in-game when it comes to automatic new lines - see below.
When you write a long-line in game, you can notice that when text automatically goes to a new line, the formatting resets. I've asked Stalcraft devs about it, and they confirmed it to be a bug.
Since this is a bug and replicating this behaviour on the website would be a lot of effort, StalcraftHQ currently doesn't do the same. StalcraftHQ supports new lines created manually in character profile with enter button - but it will NOT reset formatting when text automatically wraps to new line in-game.
Stalcraft devs internally raised this bug for fixing, so let's hope this gets resolved soon and the StalcraftHQ formatting matches in-game one 100%!
You can experiment with Stalcraft formatting by typing in the box below. We'll colour the text for you so you can preview it easily!
You can also import description from any player using the search below:
Of course, you can try it in-game, too!
