Color Code Identification Flawed Logic

[valkyrienyanko]

Say someone types the following message "&&&&&&&&&&" and sends it.

Nothing would get sent, the message would be transformed into "".

Another example, what if someone types "&Hello &yWorld"

It would become "Hello World" where "Hello" is white and "World" is yellow but the & would disappear. (The & should stay if there is no valid color code after the &)

This issue is low priority / fix for fun.

So if there isn't a color code should there be an error message stating something like: "ERROR! Color Code not detected" With a guide on how to find a list of the color codes?

@joshshep06 Hello, thank you for showing an interest in this project.

If a message is sent with & but no color code following it, then it should be sent as is. For example, lets say the following message "&Foo &yBar" is sent. The message should be encoded as "&Foo Bar" where "&Foo " is white and "Bar" is yellow. Notice how the & with no color code after it stayed in the string.

No error message should be shown to the user as the user might have intended to put a & in the string without a color code following it. For example maybe they sent the following message to a client with the following command

whisper <player> <message>
whisper Bob apples & oranges are fruits

Maybe in the future there might be a helpful command that shows all the color codes in the console.

@valkyrienyanko ok thanks for clarifying.

A guide would be a great feature something like /help would be simple enough.
