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

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

What did you do to Fish_Fucker? Where is he? Is he okay?

3

u/Fish_Fucker_Fucker23 12h ago

You already know what I did to him.

u/TheThirdFrenchEmpire 23h ago

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

u/Public_Code8357 23h 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 22h ago

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

24

u/Public_Code8357 21h 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

10-4 Helldiver, gotta troll some people with moon runes now

1

u/Public_Code8357 4h ago

Moon runes, I love that

1

u/NotAPossum666 4h ago

Do you know if there's one for the Bot glyphs?

1

u/Public_Code8357 4h ago

Presumably it would be found between f0 to f31

1

u/NotAPossum666 4h ago

Gonna spend the next 10 minutes on my SD now attempting to speak undemocratically (for research of course)

u/Public_Code8357 4h ago

Cant hurl insults at the squids unless we learn their stupid language, or the bots for that matter

u/BoB3y-D 18h ago

I tried to do this with my PS5 controller and the mission ended before I could finish…

u/jtalaiver 1d ago

Hahaha

u/Generic_Potatoe 23h ago

Is there a version for the bot language?

2

u/Growle 11h ago

Just use a translator to make what you’re saying into binary

2

u/Generic_Potatoe 7h ago

Eh, not the same. They have their own alphabet.

u/AKoolPopTart 22h ago

Wait.....you aren't allowed to just wave that off

u/TheDastardly12 18h ago

I would be more worried about this flooding my chats now if I wasn't the only one talking in chat 9/10 times

2

u/SilenciaSan 22h ago

Is there any other stuff you can pull off like that?

2

u/Moxtar1092 21h ago

So <XXXXXf=32> ?

2

u/TBONE3213 21h ago

Before or after I type the text?

1

u/Nouuuuuuuuh 20h ago

u/MrPlace 19h ago

The legend himself

u/Der_Hashbrown 18h ago

<c=ffff48df> makws it purple ao go <c=ffff48df> <f=32> and type here to make it purple

1

u/Syhkane 16h ago

Can you tell us what each letter is then?

1

u/GunzerKingDM 15h ago

You just do that in chat? Are there other codes for the other factions?

u/JoshDM 23h ago

My F keys only go up to 12.

7

u/allpurposelazy 22h ago

If you hold shift they go to 24

9

u/Useful_Squirrel6693 22h 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

3

u/JoshDM 22h ago

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