That is very strange, ^1 is a perfect working color selection.

I just tested to see if in-game name is case sensitive but it isn’t, so that doesn’t matter either.

The first change to red makes sense, but the automatically changing back doesn’t…

Tried with a different color yet? Or something like /name nail^1The^2Casket to see if the problem also exists when you dont specify the color as first thing?

Also try:
/name “^1NailTheCasket” with quotes to see if that helps anything at all (don’t matter if the last ” will be looking red when typing it in console.

gl!

i got into the console thing and i typed:
/name ^1NailTheCasket
then it will show
nailthecasket(in normal color) changed his name to NailTheCasket(in red)
NailTheCasket(in red) changed his name to nailthecasket(in normal color)

idk whats going on :/

you cant get black in your name!
no way possible! the extra added ^ will make ql think you’re trying to change your nickname, which is not possible, so don’t even bother

to chat in black, or in your clan name, type ^^8 it will add an extra black ^ in between but what follows is colored black, it’s a bug that this works as it’s not intended.

Upon attempting to do this I get the msg:

Unsupported colour sequence detected.

Any ideas?

Thanx.
