You can view a text version of this tutorial if for some reason you can't see the special characters (it's recommended you download the text file and open it with Notepad2)

You may have been in a CS1.6 server recently and seen some people using colour inside of their text. You probably asked them how they did it and they probably laughed at you and said "good day!". Well I'm here to show you how to use colours! (It is also likely that they learned it here!)

Now, onto the important stuff!

1. You can only use colours in MM1 (say ) when you are dead.
2. You can use colours in MM2 (say_team) whenever!
3. Use % to use colours at the beginning of the text.

Now lets learn what characters do what
 0x01 = [SOH] Yellow. (This is your client's text colour, default is yellow.)
 0x03 = [ETX] Red/Blue/Grey depending on what team you're on.
 0x04 = [EOT] Green.

Remember, if you can't see weird characters in front of 0x01, 0x03 and 0x04 then you should grab Notepad2 and download the text version of this tutorial.

Now you just learned how to use colours. But just in case you need help getting started. I've provided some examples for you to use:

"Merry Christmas" in Christmas colours:
bind "KP_5" "say_team %MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

"Check out phishcave.com" in green.
bind "KP_5" "say_team % Check out http://phishcave.com"

Bragging?
bind "KP_5" "say_team I am using colours and you are not."

Advertising your crappy team's irc channel?
bind "KP_5" "say_team %GG IDLE #YOURTEAMHERE"
