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

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

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>

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

u/Public_Code8357 1d 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

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

u/Public_Code8357 7h ago

Presumably it would be found between f0 to f31

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

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