TECHNICAL SUPPORT / WEB APPs BUGS

We can write on crafted items using @{RGBA} tags but I have yet to find a reliable way to convert from any other color scheme to Ryzom's @{RGBA}. Standard RGBa converters don't work as their output is CSS3 compliant in rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) format.

Anyone able to give some insight or help on this?

Not specific to ryzom, but it sounds like RGBA should be noted as 4 hex numbers,
so RGBa(0, 0, 0, 0.5) should corespond to 00000080

where all four values are 0-255 (h00-hFF), 0.5 being 128 = h80.

No, it's not quite like that from what I've experienced so far. Each slot takes only a single hex number 0-f. Having written that, I have an idea for getting close. OK...this seems to work relatively well:

Pick a color using typical RGB format such as rgb(0,245,184). Divide each value by 16, rounded to the nearest integer. Convert that integer to a Hex value and use that value for Ryzom's color tag. RGB(0,245,184) becomes @{0fbf}. Not perfect but fairly close.

it should be noted then as rgba (instead of RGBA), but that makes sence.

its the usual short version for hex colors...

code -> short (long to dec)
00 -> 0 (0)
11 -> 1 (17)
22 -> 2 (34)
33 -> 3 (51)
44 -> 4 (68)
55 -> 5 (85)
66 -> 6 (102)
77 -> 7 (119)
88 -> 8 (136)
99 -> 9 (153)
aa -> a (170)
bb -> b (187)
cc -> c (204)
dd -> d (221)
ee -> e (238)
ff -> f (255)

your RGB(0,245,184) would be the same as #00F5B8
your calculation should make it 0, 15.3125 (15), 11.5 (12) -> #0FC
I'd say #0EB (look at the table above to see why) making it @{ 0ebf }

Try it and see if the color matches better ;-)


Edit: lol, was getting an error "::Entity [0ebf] has not been defined in the configuration"
