Outline Text in Chat??

[HFWhite 457]

Hello. I saw this on a server, how do I add the outline to the text from chat?

I want the black outline on the names + text, exactly how is it in the 2nd picture.

This is how it is now:

 

This is how I want it to be:

 

Thank you!

open clientsrc > PythonChat.cpp

find void CPythonChat::AppendChat(int iType, const char * c_szChat)

in; pChatLine->Instance.SetValue(c_szChat);

 

add below;

    pChatLine->Instance.SetOutline(true);

Yeah, I did this yestarday but it bugs the fade in/out animation of the messages.

 

A fix for this would be to set Outline to "false" untill the animation of the fade in and fade out is done. After it should be true.

But Idk to do that.

    change;

if (iType == CHAT_TYPE_SHOUT)
        pChatLine->Instance.SetOutline(true);

No, that does not fix it. It only checks if the message is shout or not, but I managed to fix it myself.

 

rColor acts as the fade in and fade out animation. so what I did is I checked if rColor is 100%. If it is then outline is true, otherwise is false.

This should be applied both on EditMode and ViewMode.

 

So in the end it will look like this: https://metin2.download/video/FgGw727Pqu2gKP54917l6zOlct2469jv/.mp4

 

Thank you anyway!
