Notes:

Always remember to close your tags so that your formatting does not bleed over into any text you do not want affected.
- The [hr] tag is the only one that does not need to be closed, since it is considered to be a one-time use.
Linking to an in game url may result in a link that will send you to the Hobowars homepage.

Colored Text

In a hexadecimal color code, the colors red, green, and blue are represented by a hexadecimal value. The first two digits in a hexadecimal color code are the red values, the middle two digits are the green values, and the last two digits are the blue values. By mixing these values together in various amounts you can achieve up to 16,777,216 different colors!

The hexadecimal color code for pure red is FF0000.
The hexadecimal color code for pure green (lime) is 00FF00.
The hexadecimal color code for pure blue is 0000FF.
The hexadecimal color code for pure white is all three colors at their highest values, i.e. FFFFFF.
The hexadecimal color code for pure black is all three colors at their lowest values, i.e. 000000.
Hexadecimal color codes for gray colors are made by keeping all three color values equal in number and making it a value between 00 and FF, e.g. 454545.
Hexadecimal color codes for all other colors are made by mixing red, green, and blue values in appropriate amounts, e.g. FF6600, 029A2F, B05F3C, etc.
Hexadecimal color code resources: Specific / Comprehensive / Complete.

Also, please note that setting the color of your text in Chat to match the background color is against the rules.

Special Characters and Symbols

An assortment of special ASCII characters can be found through out the game (in peoples' names, gang tags, signatures, etc...). To find and access these characters on your computer:

Click Start

Select "Run..."

Enter "charmap.exe"

Click "Okay"

Alternately, on most computers, it can be found here:

Start ⇒ All Programs ⇒ Accessories ⇒ System Tools ⇒ Character Map

Keep in mind that some of the Arabic symbols are banned, because they change the direction the characters are read, and can cause problems with the coding. Therefore, please avoid using them.

Special characters and symbols resources: Specific / Complete.

+* Also, please note that setting the color of your text in Chat to match the background color is against the rules.

+==Special Characters and Symbols==
+An assortment of special  ASCII characters can be found through out the game (in peoples' names, gang tags, signatures, etc...). To find and access these characters on your computer:<b>
+# Click Start'''<br />
+# Select "Run..."'''<br />
+# Enter "charmap.exe"'''<br />
+# Click "Okay"'''<br /></b>
+Alternately, on most computers, it can be found here:
+:'''Start ⇒ All Programs ⇒ Accessories ⇒ System Tools ⇒ Character Map'''<br />
+Keep in mind that some of the Arabic symbols are banned, because they change the direction the characters are read, and can cause problems with the coding. Therefore, please avoid using them.
