Color Chat in Console

How can I add color to text in the console? I've seen it before but I don't know how to do it and am quite curious.

Thanks in advance!

 

ThunderWaffeMC Are you talking about a cmd.exe console, or a multicraft like one?
For CMD.exe ones, you can just use '§' or ChatColor to make it coloured, but I don't think it works in onEnable() methods.
For multicraft ones, I don't think it's possible.

Actually, the command prompt does not display the section symbol as colour, but instead, displays it as a different character. (don't know the name of it)

You must use ChatColor, and you must use a console the supports colors. My server host does, and it's a webhost

 

TheGreenGamerHD Can you tell me why when I use § it works as colours? If you take a look at the ChatColor.java, it even uses § to do colours, unless I misread.

On my console, running windows 7+8 it shows up as:

TheGreenGamerHD onEnable() method?

 

Doesn't matter when it is called kreashenz

 

Use the ConsoleCommandSender

Code:

    public void log(String message) {
        ConsoleCommandSender console = Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender();
        console.sendMessage(message.replaceAll("&([0-9a-fk-or])", "\u00a7$1"));
    }

 

i use ansi coloring

Code:java

 
public void l(String message, Level level) {
if (logDepth == -1)
initLogger();
String result = "[" + namePrefix + name + ChatColor.RESET + "] " + message + ChatColor.RESET;
for (ChatColor color : colors) {
if (replacements.containsKey(color) && Ansi.isEnabled() && useColor) {
result = result.replaceAll("(?i)" + color.toString(), replacements.get(color));
} else {
result = result.replaceAll("(?i)" + color.toString(), "");
}
message = result;
logger.log(level, message);
}
}
 

replacements contains all chat colores and the corresponding ansi color.
my full logger is here: https://github.com/InflamedSebi/Bas...medsebi/Basic/utilities/DynLoggerUtility.java

 

Guys. There is a VERY simple way! getServer().getConsoleCommandSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE+"Blue Text");
