How to edit your DS message?

1. Head over to the forums and click on the MAUL tab
2. In the MAUL page click on "Edit DS Settings" under the "Actions" section
3. This is where you edit your message!

How do I add the colors to my DS message?

To have the colors show up add the tag before the text (no space needed and do not add quotes)!

Here is an example of how you would use the colors:

{red}R{gold}A{yellow}I{green}N{blue}B{lightpurple}O{purple}W

It shows up like this:

Additional Notes:

• It looks like the DS join msg colors use the same Cs# plugin that the server uses for the DS tag/name/chat colors so there could be some colors that I have not included that might work!
• Special thanks to Chrille on github for having a list of all the colors from the new Cs# update!! CS2-colorsay plugin
• Apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots, I play on 4:3
• It looks like the colored DS messages also works on CSS!
