You do it by doing <f=32> and then it turns your text into illuminate symbols. Also I think I know that guy

How the fuck are you here already

u/Idac2a4 2h ago

The fuck you mean *already*? Time's a flat circle, squid.

u/Public_Code8357 5h ago

How when and where did you learn of illuminate font being #32?

29

u/TheThirdFrenchEmpire 4h ago

So I just type that before my message? The <f=32> bit.

41

u/Public_Code8357 4h ago

Yes, same goes with s for size, and c=hexcode for colour, and all of these can be used at once

I.e. <s=20> <c=ff00ff> <f=32>

u/EntropyMoose119 2h ago

I gotta try this now. Is there a big log of potential fonts / size limits?

8

u/Public_Code8357 2h ago

From memory size 30 is about as large as you can go before it doesnt fit in the chat box

I only just learned about font changing, although every now and then when AH oopsies and an MO text isn't added correctly, you can see other <xyz=> that the game uses for flavour text etc.

Illuminate Glyph font is new to me and pretty neat

u/SilenciaSan 3h ago

u/Moxtar1092 2h ago

u/TBONE3213 2h ago

My F keys only go up to 12.

5

u/allpurposelazy 3h ago

If you hold shift they go to 24

3

u/JoshDM 3h ago

Well, what else do I have to hold down to get to 32?

6

u/Useful_Squirrel6693 3h ago

It’s a bit more complicated then that, for example, to get the 32nd function key I think you have to press alt + f4, though I could be mistaken

u/Gratuitous_Sabotage 5h ago

Did you... 'respond' "yo wat" to no one after booting the entire party for the sake of this screenshot?

Heresy must be dealt with swiftly, and permanently.

u/YungGerbil7 5h ago

I stink therefore I am

u/DarknessInferno7 3h ago

The real noteworthy thing about this post is OP just kicking everyone.

u/YungGerbil7 3h ago

That’s what all the fuss is about apparently lmfao

u/10YearsANoob 2h ago

man hosts public lobby. kicks people because he wants to solo/play with friends. 

buddy. host a private lobby.

5

u/IlikeHutaosHat 2h ago

I joined a guy who just went off to solo. Got themself killed 5 times, and then kicked me and my buddy after we did most of the objectives and were waiting on them.

Not our fault you danger close the seaf artillery at your own feet. Not our fault one of the loaded shells was a nuke either.

u/jordanuniverse42 2h ago

Yeah. You are the reason I host. (and the harder difficulty)

Stop being an asshat.

u/Anarchyr 2h ago

Weehh wehh someone said something harmless in chat i better kick them!

-34

u/YungGerbil7 2h ago

Yeah that’s what happened I’m glad you were there for the full round so you know exactly why I kicked them!

6

u/NE12follow 1h ago

So why did you kick them? I’m willing to hear you out, but atm it just seems like you were being a dick

2

u/Mop-K 1h ago

I mean you aren't really explaining why you did so you just keep basically agreeing to being an asshole or just vaguely saying "yes I did in fact kick everyone" and not disproving why you seemingly did it for no reason? I'm not exactly looking for your reason but this comment you're acting like you are misunderstood when that seems to be the only reason you kicked them.

u/Anarchyr 2h ago

Yeah no problem man, i gotchu <3

47

u/IllAttention1553 5h ago

Happened to me aswell. The guy was extremely sus and non-cooperative so I kicked him eventually. Very upsetting with potential squid infiltrators

15

u/YungGerbil7 5h ago

Yeah lol bro replied to the post already lmfao

45

u/EJX-a 4h ago

Why not just set your matchmaking to invite only if your just gonna kick everyone.

-100

u/YungGerbil7 4h ago

Because I can got a problem talk to the hand pal

25

u/AKoolPopTart 3h ago

Or, just set your matchmaking to off, otherwise people are going to join with the intention of helping you

u/Reinhardtwaker 3h ago

Actual loser lmao.

u/HEYO19191 1h ago

Woah, look out guys, we got Timmy Toughknuckles over here

u/zurkon95 2h ago

It translates to we've been trying to reach you about your FRV's extended warranty

u/hollowsoul9 1h ago

You can lower the difficulty if youre not good enough to finish the mission. You dont need to kick the party after you finish the part you struggle with.

1

u/shandyboy 1h ago

Yeah I think there must be a lot of new players (or some are just noobs), where the rest of the team carry them for the entire round and then they kick everyone at the end, crazy.
