cant get color in chat to work

[matcool]

im trying to do a simple postToChat('§eHello world')
but a weird things occurs

i dont know if theres any function that does the same thing as /tellraw but help would be appreciated.

I doubt that color will work.

Righto um. Minecraft tends to freak out when a client (not server aparently) enters the "§" ... In a vanilla server, you'd normally get kicked for doing that :p No idea why it puts in "Â" though... Try "§kSome text".

[arpruss]

I wouldn't put non-ASCII characters into Python code. Try instead "\xA7kSome test"

[gemSquared]

Or like... char(21) inserted into a string.

[arpruss]

Why 21?

[matcool]

tried "\xA7kSome test" and the weird character still persists

chr(167) does the same thing as before

Probably the only way to get rid of it is to use some kind of tellraw

[gemSquared]

Hmmm dunno same here... but §k does what it should... (scramble letters)

[gemSquared]

Also. § is ASCII 21. On Windows machine, ALT + NUMPAD 21 = §

[arpruss]

Oh, if it's ascii 21, you should try "\x15Hello World".

[matcool]

"\x15Hello World" gives me this:

How 'bout { chr(21) + "aHayo?" }
