Sick of typing in all those colors by hand? Well there is a easier way using the bind commands.

Lets start out with what a bind is... it is a way for you to create your own shorthand.  So instead of saying "Good night folks" you could create a bind like "/GN".  Once created, you could then say "/GN" and what everyone else would see is ""Good night folks"

This is how you make a bind....

in a chat window in Hardwood, type:

/bind GN=Good night folks!"

[/bind] is the command [GN] is the shorthand and the rest after the [=] is what you want to say when you use the bind.

Once created you can now type /GN

Okay... so what the heck does all this do with Colors. I mean, geez that's cool and all but it's still just black text right!?  Well remember the color command... well that can be in the "what you say" part of a bind.

So if you always want to say "Good night folks!" in red so can like so...

/bind GNRED=~[C990000]Good night folks!"

Then you could type /gnred to display the red "Good night folks"

You can take that one step further and change the color for each letter to make a rainbow of colors.

Another really handy feature of a bind is you can use it to set up a color to type in like so....

/bind red=~[C990000]

Now you can use this bind to color it red when you like... so /red I am a strawberry, would display that statement in red.
