Message Channel

Message Window Behavior

(color?)

MESMODE

Description

Sets all future messages sent to this channel to behave differently. Behaviors:

0: Regular message with opaque background window

1: Translucent window background

2: No window background

The last parameter controls the color of text displayed in messages. 0=black, 4096=white. Haven’t played around with it much.

The handler pops three values (channel, window behavior, color). The color is applied to the message layer, and the window-behavior value is internally remapped (0→opaque, 1→translucent, 2→no window) before being applied and cached per channel for subsequent messages.

PC handler: SCRIPT_MESMODE.
