What's the correct way to format this? I've tried several combinations of different things and nothing's working. I'm wanting to color the client's name the same color you see in in-game team chat (testing in L4D2). I know the color is 0x99CCFF .

I don't want to make a dependency on an include file - so I'd rather manually do this myself.

#define BLUE 0x99CCFF
PrintToChatAll("\x01\x07%06x%N \x01 : Test Message", BLUE, client);

Prints this:
99CCFFdustin : Test Message

I've tried inserting a decimal in various places in the '06' and also capitalizing the X after the 06 (Deathreus's suggestion) but I can't seem to get it working.

Edit: this is originally where I got the idea

If you want literal bytes in the output, you have to use a series of %c. %x prints a 32-bit number as hex (i.e. a string).

Would it be beyond you to post an example or some other code that does this... I searched github for .sp files that contain '0x99CCFF' and posted to the discord. This forum post was a last resort..

The code seems correct to me.

However, as I've just tested, L4D2 doesn't support the multi-byte \x07 and \x08 color codes. It can only use the single-byte \x01-\x04 color codes.
