bl4nk, wouldn't it be easier to just use GetRandomInt(0, MAXSIZE) and set the alpha bits to 0xFF ?

I suppose that would work as well.

Why would the alpha bits be necessary? There's a reason Valve included two versions of the colored code... so you only had to set the alpha if you wanted transparency.

sure, but you don't want to have random transparency, do you ?

Text is fully opaque if you use \x07. Alpha is only present if you use \x08.

Ok, but my previous question was just pointed at bl4nk's code
